Since we've been lately experiencing difficulties getting the Tuesday raids up, we're testing how it works if we change the raid day to Monday, starting from next reset.

Yogg-Saron has finally fallen in 25-man! Excellent work from our dps, tanks and healers alike. From now on we will be working on the hard modes - time to start checking out the tacs!

It's been a long road, even though I missed a bit from the start. This pic is from our first Rage Winterchill kill from 24.8.2008, two months after the charter was signed. Didn't really have any other pics with decent killshot behaviour -.-'

For my own part I'd like to say a special thanks to all those that have been the "backbone" of the guild. Possu, Tuschan/Nami, Naq, Luuläjä, Duff/Laalertaja, Honecker, Q, Defiji/Kimuli, Hobson, Embraser, and a number of others, some of whom have joined us a bit later. You keep the guild alive, running and essentially the same as it always was, a common effort by a bunch of people that like to play together. (Now maybe united further than ever before by the consumption of voluminous amounts of beer and harassing neighbours at tuschy's place, and mine?)

I hope to continue playing with you, as well as those that have joined us later, till Icecrown and beyond!

To celebrate our first anniversary, the officers and Possu have concluded that a couple of little things should be done:

- Free belt buckles and gems from the Guild Bank (for your main's PvE gear, naturally)
- Guild repairs starting from Sunday, continuing till we've managed to spend some of the 50k gold in GB.

...brings pain to the housewives in Spain. Also, General Vezax downed the other day. ;o

Mimiron down in 25man! :>

We've downed Yogg-Saron in 10 man! Great job! Next objective is to aquire the key to Algalon's chamber.

Last Tuesday we brought down Thorim and Freya, making our progress in 25 man Ulduar 10/14. Good job!

Okay so Naquada promised to be home - there can still be a dkp raid tomorrow if there's enough people.

This mess is due to the fact that it happens to be the eve of May Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day), and at least in Finland it means that young people (and older people as well) are extremely busy getting wasted and barbequing stuff even though it's raining and 10 degrees. As practically all the officers mean to be out drinking or doing other silly stuff, there won't be anyone to handle the dkp etc. Thus we first decided to simply cancel the raid, but as Naquada and Kisaa are still willing to be home and raidleading, we decided to give it a chance after all.

The signup will be left in the schedule for those that wish to raid. Please take the chance to form an Ulduar 10 man group or whatever you see fit and improve your gear.

4 new bosses down: Ignis, Kologarn, Auriaya and Hodir. Good job, people!

After 2 raids we've brought down Flame Leviathan, Razorscale, XT-002 and the Iron Council. Hopefully we'll add a couple of bosses to the list tonight!

Ulduar is being released tomorrow, 15.4.!

Thus, a few notes and reminders:

1.) All 25 man raids in the next weeks will primarily be Ulduar. However, because there's still the chance that we won't get a good enough group on some raid day and have to go Naxx/Sarth/Maly instead. For this reason you are expected NOT TO PUG these other instances on your mains before Monday or Tuesday.

2.) Everyone is expected to have potions and flasks/elixirs. We recommend flasks as there will be wiping. The guild will be providing Fish Feasts, so no need to worry about buff food for now.

3.) Everyone is supposed to take a good look at their gear and make sure they have enchants & gems on everything and so on. Preferably not the cheapest possible enchants and gems either.

4.) We hope everyone still remembers that for progress raids the participants are chosen according to their skills and gear. "But I signed first!" will not work here. If you cannot stay till the end of raid, say it beforehand. Otherwise -dkp unless your dog is on fire and grandma's pillaging the town.

5.) You MUST read tacs. Not having read tacs before the raid can lead to -dkp. The links to Wowwiki for each boss can be found in the Raids section of the forums. Don't waste everyone's time by going "Okay so what are tacs?!?!?!?!" before every damn boss. you should at least have a basic idea about the abilities and phases of each boss so we can concentrate on who does what instead of "What does this boss do :OOOO"

6.) Try to minimize your raidtime brb's beforehand. Eat before the raid, take your showers, repair your char's gear, get enough pots and flasks etc.

Please follow these guidelines so we might maximise the amount of active raiding we can do :)

...announce your raid breaks, holiday trips, etc. I made the thread because I (and others as well) sometimes miss the "going on holiday" threads and such in the forums cause they're quite randomly placed. And if you only tell one officer that you're going to be gone for a while, it's likely they'll forget to tell the others, and when you get back, BAM you will have been kicked.

So for everyone's convenience, if you're going to be gone for more than a few days, please make use of this thread:
http://www.deliverance.wowstead.com/forums/thread/370.

Tanking: Honecker, Duffstalker
DPSing: Luuläjä, Lukkosula, Cilley, Naquada, Sanis
Healing: Namichwaan, Kisaa, Crowmoor

We've now cleared all 25 man content. Hell yes. A picture says more than a thousand words.

 

So first the important shiet: The first tab in the guild bank now allows everyone with member rank or above to withdraw a few stacks per day. There are some glyphs, scrolls and a bit of leveling materials for the taking. when you deposit stuff in the guild bank, please put them in tab 2 and we'll organise them to the appropriate tab.

Secondly: A total of 5 [Red Proto-Drakes] in the guild now! In case someone didn't know, they're the reward from the achievement Glory of the Hero.

There have been some rather extensive problems with the DKP addons and sites. At least I (Crow) now have a working addon. It's been a shitload of work to enter all the DKP's manually and stuff so please don't act childish. We did our best. We are now using the webDKP-addon's own site which has been linked to the Wowstead DKP page.

---

Instructions in case your dkp seems to be something else than it shoud:

1.) If you're missing less than 50 dkp, don't even bother complaining. Sorry. I'm gonna give -20 dkp to you if you come to me with "I'm missing 5 dkp boohoo".

2.) If you're Julla or Shammyq, please contact me. Your DKP is WTFpwned.

3.) If you're missing a remarkable amount of dkp (50>), we can definately discuss it and you can prolly have it returned.

4.) If you bought something in the last Naxxramas or Sarth/Arch that was expensive and you seem to have way more dkp than you should, please be fair and contact me.

5.) The DKP on the DKP page should be up-to-date. I recommend everyoen checks it. DKP issues will not be dealt with in the middle of raiding. this is to avoid further confusion.

Today was the first time we tried Malygos 25 man. Took a few tries, but was definately worth it when we made it after all. Now all there is to do before Ulduar is released is to practice killing Sartharion with the drakes up, which we haven't been paying any attention to yet. In fact we only first killed Sartharion as a guild today as a warm-up for Malygos - everyone had just been pugging him.

Thanks to all who participated in creating this most epic "killshot"  ever ;o And thanks to all those who read the tacs and watched the vids and made this possible.

 

As a nice start to the new year, we pwned the rest of the Naxxramas Heroic bosses. Good job everyone! Malygos beware... We're coming for you.

Yea, been slacking with these. But here are the killshots for the 25 man Naxxramas bosses we've got down so far.

As we have quite a large number of inactive lvl 70 alts in the main guild, I'm going to perform a clean-up of the roster on the 14th of December (this Sunday). We hope you contact Possu, Luuläjä or Crowmoor to have the alts invited to Ctrl Alt Deliverance, so it's easy to contact you for raids etc if you're logged on them instead of your main. All alts, even bank alts and ones you have no intention of leveling are welcome to Ctrl Alt Deliverance.

I will for now only kick out the ones that are still lvl 70 but the 71-73's will soon follow unless you let me know that they are being actively leveled to 80. You may still have a new alt invited to the main guild at 70 if you intend to level it all the way to 80.

The purpose of this clean-up is to make sure that the roster only consists of characters that are at least theoretically usable for heroics and raids, as we are a raiding guild, not a leveling guild.

- Crowy :F

After our most epic battle so far, we have successfully downed Malygos the Spell-Weaver. We dedicated the whole evening to downing him and worked our way through one phase at a time, wipe after wipe, slow and steady. Finally we got it all right and he fell just as the time ran out and the enrage emote flashed on the screen.

This means we have now cleared all the 10-man content available so far: Naxxramas, Sartharion, Archavon, Malygos. On Thursday we start working on 25-man content. Amazing job everyone, I'm proud of you (and myself :F)



"Killshot" including Laalertaja's IMBA roll. Honecker generously passed the shield to Laalu however, points to him for that. Apologies for the, err, interesting shot. Was too thrilled about the kill and forgot to take a proper one.

Once more, ty-gz-omg-wtf-bbq to everyone <3 I'm sure everyone agrees that if Sapphiron was hard last week, he sure seemed like free epix after Malygos.

We have now successfully cleared the 10-man Naxxramas within one reset. Sapphiron put up a real fight, no free epics there. Kel'Thuzad was like a vacation after that.

We've also slain Sartharion and Archavon in 10-man. We hope to be starting in 25 mans as soon as enough peopel in the guild reach level 80.

Here are some of the Naxx kill shots:

As you may have noticed, Defiji is the first one to reach level 80 in the guild. I thought it was worth mentioning and wanted to include a /flex shot as well, but he was too lazy to appear. Typical.

Anyways, congrats mon. Stay away from the voodoo!

And those of you who are still around level 70, pick up the pace. Laalu's already creating nazi plans about what happens if people slack too much. ;D

Ctrl Alt Deliverance - a place for your <70 alts.

Even if it's a death knight. Even if you think it'll become your main in no time. We are sceptics and won't believe it till you've brought that dk up to level 70. A total of 5 people (yes, I counted) have asked me to invite their under level 70 DK's to Deliverance. The answer is and will be NOES. Instead everyone is welcome to add their alts to our new creation, Ctrl Alt Deliverance - the alt guild. The purpose is to be able to contact people who are leveling their alts if backup is needed for a raid (without me having my friend list full of people's alts :o !!!) and to give everyone some company while leveling.

The peopel with invite rights in the guild atm are Possu, Crowmoor and Luuläjä, so contact one of us if you have alts without a guild. The only requirement for joining is that your main is in Deliverance. ;) So yes, you can even bring your bank chars.

Kthxbye and good night,

Crowmoor

P.S. Old topics have been removed from the Raids section of the forums (minor cleaning been performed elsewhere too) and Naxxramas info will start appearing soon.

All your base are belong to us! Illidan has fallen and Deliverance is ready for WotLK.

A big, massive, huge thank you to all who were there, and especially Poutiska for sharing his experience with us. We'll miss you, fag.

Lousy killshot considering the lack of a corpse, fat taurens in front of the 1/4 that would have been there. >_> Everyone did an awesome job (23 man, too!) and for once you could really feel the concentration in the air. IIt's also awesoem that we did almost a full clear of BT in one night. Thank you to all who participated. The Council has fallen, Illidan beware!

Took fewer tries than I expected. o/ Archi doooown.

Vashj downed. o/ A whole bunch of Hands of A'dal in the guild now.

And lo! Kael has fallen.

...has fallen. BT 7/9!

Reliquary of Souls downed. BT from 3/9 to 6/9 in one raid! GZ and TY to all participants.

Teron Gorefiend 1-shotted!!! <3

Gurtogg Bloodboil down. 4/9 BT!

You all fucking pwn. <3 The first and last Deliverance bear run was awesome.

Supremus met his fate on our first BT raid too.

High Warlord Naj'entus doooown on our first BT raid.

It IS hard not to explode on other people... and it makes your dkp hurt if you fail. Solarian owned. o/

Tonight we are stars, stars that shine on bright! Another boss one-shotted.

Kaz'rogal down on our first try. Gz and ty to everyone!

...and he liked it. Leotheras down, no wipes!

He didn't stand a chance.

Anetheron went down on today's first try, a big thank you to all who were there!

The ''infamous'' Lootchill is dead, Gj to everyone in the raid, hopefully he will soon be joined by Anetheron.

For their first 25-man raid ever Deliverance downs Gruul and Magtheridon, however, thanks be to the few noble players of grim batol, whom helped the guild.

Gruul





Magtheridon



Thanks to everyone who participated, GJ!

Deliverance's new website up, hope you enjoy it!
