Finished off Soa on Nightmare today (forgot screenshot as usual), which means all bosses have been killed on nightmare mode. The nice boss decided to give us double loot (only fair given that we got nothing last week I suppose), including 2 new mounts. Grats to Dpjones and Michieltjuh on those.

To sum it up, Eternity Vault was a major bug fest at launch, most of which has been cleared up in the recent patches. Karagga’s Palace has been more or less bug free, all though some of the trash is probably harder than most bosses there.

In general the boss designs are fairly good (minus the bugs in EV). The difficulty level on hard and nightmare mode was a little disappointing, but it might pick up for the next tier. It’s intro content after all.

Swapped it over to Nightmare for the 2 last bosses in Karagga’s Palace, since the 2 first new ones fell over on the first try on hard mode. The instance generally has some good concepts, but the difficulty is somewhat disappointing on hard and nightmade mode.

Busy day today. Started off with Soa on heroic mode, before venturing into Karagga’s Palace which has 4 new bosses. After clearing it on normal, we decided to try a couple of the new bosses on heroic, which turned out to be ridiculously easy, as both got 1-shotted.

Of course Bioware fucked up the lockouts, and tagged Soa as already killed this week, after applying their patch, so we didn’t get any loot from Soa. Woopie doo!

Total Progress:

Eternity Vault: 5/5 Normal, 5/5 Heroic, 4/5 Nightmare
Karagga’s Palace: 5/5 Normal, 3/5 Heroic, 1/5 Nightmare

So, since the lovely Pylon event went on a major bug streak (this time it wasn’t even possible to reset the instance when consoles stopped working yay!), we went and killed this dude instead, before pissing away another 2 hours on bugged out pylons.

As for SoA we now have roughly 20 clean kills of SoA Heroic, only to see the crystal bug out at < 10%. Yay! It's almost as if Ghostcrawler was hired by the department in charge of operations...

Cranked it up to Nightmare mode when clearing to Soa today, and did 4/5!

We figured we’d update the main site with how the WoW side of QE is going. We now raid 2-3 days a week in Dragon Soul, at a more casual, relaxed pace. We also raid with Whitepearl, which means we 9 man bosses. To date, we’re clearing achievements in DS, taking Morchok, Yorshaj realm 2nd, Hagara and Ultraxion realm 1st.

Ultraxion heroic was a pretty fun Patchwerk concept, with the mandatory button that leads to hilarious wipes when someone panics. We enjoyed it alot, especially with Inwit outdpsing James by 8k on the kill

Heroic Bonethrasher down! After a week of testing out 16-man (4/5 HC EV there aswell) we went to slap the nasty Hutt’s rancor pet. Certain mechanics on this feel a bit buggy/RNG atm.

Cleared 4/5 heroic Eternity Vault tonight. Picture coming once the last guy is down.

5/5 Normal mode cleared in Eternity Vault. Very easy stuff. In fact so easy we forgot to screenshot.

After a nice weekend of betatesting Star Wars: The Old Republic, we’re set to make an appearance in Bioware’s new MMORPG.
