Kalecgos Defeated, we're started in Sunwell!



Huge congratulations to all Obsidians!

After some heavy setbacks recently where we lost a group of our better geared raiders, we were able to suck it down and regear a new team and finally give Sunwell the "Obsidia Kiss".

Full sotry soon, but for now here are the shiny loots \o/

[Pantaloons of Calming Strife]
Grats to Filtro

[Bracers of the Forgotten Conqueror] x 3
Grats to Farfalla, Forgand Mystix

And the lovely ring pattern to make
[Loop of Forged Power]
Grats to Sax, all our casters are drooling and getting in line to get this made for them!

Illidan Down, Black Temple Cleared



Huge congratulations to all Obsidians!

We have now cleared all current endgame content in The Burning Crusade. It was an amazing feeling to get him down. I would like to thank the raid for an awesome performance; the fight was getting very much under control.

However, a huge thanks goes all the guild members as such. We have made a real team effort to get where we are now. A lot of people unfortunately had to sit out for our first kill; I hope everyone knows that the efforts put into all stages of our progression have been hugely appreciated. Whereas killing Illidan was a sweet thing, we would never have made it there in the first place. We have made very, very quick progress, and that progress has been brought on by all players attending raids.

The general feeling in raid and on Ventrilo was obviously one of elation. Right now we are by far the most progressed Horde raiding guild, and killing Illidan puts us up with the finest guilds on the server. I know for one I am very proud to be part of this, and I hope this feeling is shared.

I do not think any of us, when forming Obsidia months ago, that we would be where we are now. Thankfully we have avoided many of the pitfalls we have seen consume many Horde guilds. I would like to thank the ones who founded Obsidia and also everyone who has joined along the way. We have made a very solid guild; let us build on our accomplishments and look forward to repeating our successes in Tier Six content, then move on to Sunwell.

Obsidia - 8/9 Black Temple









Yeah so I am a little late in updating this thing.

Last week Obsidia advanced to being 8/9 BT after killing Illidari Council for the first time.

It is not a week later and here is how things stand at the moment. We are improving our time spent in raids by being able to clear Hyjal Summit and the first part of Black Temple in a couple of days. Tonight we went back and killed Reliquary of Souls, Mother and Illidari Council, clearing the way up to Illidan Stormrage with two raiding days left.

I think we should all feel proud of our accomplishments. Tier Six content clearing has gone very fast and smoothly, and to some extent we are at a point where we definitely do not outgear the encounters any longer. That being said, we are still improving and showing that we have what it takes to clear the end game.

Illidan is coming up, and we hope to see a kill this week obviously.

Obsidia - 7/9 Black Temple







Last week's raids brought some more progress to Obsidia.

New kills that week consisted of Reliquary of Souls and Mother Shahraz in Black Temple, making the raid progress come pretty close to finishing the current end game content of The Burning Crusade.

Being able to finish The Battle for Hyjal Summit in a single day meant that we had another day of doing progress in Black Temple. On Monday we were able to down Reliquary of Souls.



On Tuesday, after having spent many hours scrambling for Shadow Resist Greens and mats for making the Black Temple resistance items, we ventured to Mother Shahraz and were able to kill her on the second attempt of the night.

Pew Pew.

This week we will hopefully not only reproduce the efforts, but with the new found experience we should be able to get some meaningful tries in on Illidari Council.

To Be Continued.

Obsidia kills Gurtogg Bloodboil

Tuesday, February 19 was our first day of tries on the fifth boss in Black Temple, Gurtogg Bloodboil. We knew that it would probably be the first real test in Black Temple, the bosses preceding Gurtogg being of a lower difficulty level.

The fight was very intense, but with each attempt we were able to get more of the aspects of the fight under control and by the end of the night he did go down.

We were of course very happy to be able to get him down on the first night of attempts. Furthermore, it was absolutely awesome to see the raid make very good progress both as individuals and in raid cohesion to overcome the boss.

Good job Obsidians! Next up on the menu is Reliquary of Souls.

Another astonishing day for Obsidia.

We have only had two weeks in Mount Hyjal. On the first we cleared up to Archimonde and got some practice tries in on him. This week we cleared up to Archimonde in one day, and had Tuesday to get the fight right.

And we did!



The kill itself was an awesome one. Congratulations go to Jozephine and Captn to get their Tier Six Helms. Notacow got an awesome sword and Morduk a sweet, sweet staff.

Not quite satisfied with having triumphed in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, we decided to spend our last raiding hour in Black Temple.



The result was a very dead Teron Gorefiend. Seeing that I think everyone (I know I was) a little spent mentally after downing Archimonde it was simply superb to be able to kill Teron on our second attempt.

All in all, this marked the end of an amazing raid week for the guild. We cleared a Tier Six instance, which in itself is a huge achievement for the guild, but we also cleared four bosses in Black Temple in the same week, which was also our very first week in Black Temple.

Progress has been absolutely amazing. Let us keep this up and build on the enthusiasm and momentum we have.

Good times, good times!

Monday, February 11. marked the first day of raiding Black Temple for Obsidia.

It was a very nice evening. Not only did the guild get to try the very last raiding instance in the game, but it was no mere sightseeing tour.

In a little more than three hours, the guild downed the three first bosses of Illidan's hiding hole.

Naj'entus Spine Gets Cracked!



Akama >>> Shade of Akama

Tuesday, February 5th.

By killing Azgalor Obsidia was able to obtain our first Tier Six tokens. Azgalor went down at our very first try even with a rough start. These things may or may not have been seen in Officer's Chat.

Captn: FS, 1500ms, I can't tank like this...
Everyone else:Go go, wasting time = bad!
Captn: Fuck it, let's just go then...

Result:



It felt pretty awesome to be able to take him down, even more so seeing that it was our very first try. Congratulations must go out to Touchme and Sikes for getting their respective class Tier Six gloves. Amazing loot and amazing progress for the guild; being able to get the Tokens in our first week of raiding Mount Hyjal.

[Gronnstalker's Gloves]
[Lightbringer Gloves]
[Boundless Agony]

We finished off the evening getting some good practice in on Archimonde. Judging by the attempts, by the fact that we went with 24 people and sorely lacked decursers, the fight seemed manageable and hopefully we will be able to build upon the successes and good times of this week and get him down next week.

For this coming reset, the first thing on the agenda is to re-clear Lady Vashj and Kael'thas Sunstrider. We want to attune more people. Tier Six content is a ton of fun, and we want the ones who have missed out so far to get their chance to see the true end game.

Time: Sunday evening.
Place: Various, start in Serpentshrine, a rendez-vous in Tempest Keep and finally Mount Hyjal.
Actions: Slaughtering of various bosses.
Rewards: Plentiful loot, many an attunement and good times to be had by all.

So after clearing Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep up to the end bosses earlier in the week, it was time to go back and show that last week was not a fluke.

Well it was not. Lady Vashj and Kael'thas Sunstrider were both downed. Many a Tier Five token was to be had.

At the end of the night, Obsidia ventured into Mount Hyjal for the first time with 25 raiders present. It was a blast. The trash waves were handled very well, and at the end of the night Rage Winterchill went down and we got our first Tier Six kill.

Now can we go back and get some more guild firsts?

Oh and yeah, we are still looking for some people to fill out our ranks. We are currently on the lookout for a Holy Paladin and two Priests, one Shadow and one Holy.

Oh and kill shot! Good job Obsidians!

Obsidia is heading into Tier Six content.

With both Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep cleared, our guild has shown that it has the ability to pull together and down end game bosses.

The current plan of action is to consolidate on those achievements. Tier Five content will be run until we have enough members attuned to set foot in Mount Hyjal. I am sure all members of Obsidia is really looking forward to seeing the end game content; we have worked hard to get there and we do feel proud of how we have been able to get there.

I want to thank and to congratulate all of you for putting up such good performances. We are all playing this game to enjoy ourselves, and it is certainly very enjoyable to see progress being made.

For everyone else, Obsidia is always looking for good people to bolster our community. Any exceptional applicants are always welcome, however at this point in time we are particularly on the lookout for;

Priests, Shadow or Holy
Paladins, Holy

Cheers,

Porcelina

Yesterday was fun, let's go again!
Yesterday was a blast with a quick practice raid to set up mods and vent turning into a bit of a kill fest. Tonight will be more difficult (we thought) and decided to give Hydross a tickle and take it from there.

A couple of hours and 4 one-shotted bosses later and we're standing in front of Vashj! An incrdible night, only a handfull of peopl in the raid had ever been to SSC before tonight and yet here we are ready to take on 'ol snakey hips.

An astounding week of raids starting with a horde first full clear of ZA (twice) and ending with our first ties at Vashj with everything dead in between, GO OBSIDIA!

(And we're still lacking 6 or 7 raiders!)
