SAMICH MAKES RAID ON TIME. ALSO GLORY OF THE CATACLYSM RAIDER.

Hello Neglect! How is everyone? What's fraaxing with all of you? Today was a momentous day. An incredible, magical day. Samich made it to the raid on time. Heck he was on before two or three other people. Kick me into a convenient bottomless pit, because this, my fair guildies, is in fact, madness. Also, we killed heroic Al'Akir, thus completing glory of the cataclysm raider.

I don't know why this was so much more of a pain than the firelands heroics. But it was. So thanks everyone for enduring it. We now have one more drake than before, and the pleasant title 'of the four winds'

This completes our raiding together in Cataclysm, thus leaving the less intellegent among us more time to go outside, where the evil sun plots all our deaths. Don't say I didn't warn you, you're all playing into the nonexistent hands of our very own real life death star! But you know, have fun!

Overall, we got two sets of drakes, and put anyone interested in the dragonsoul glory in excellent position for when the content is easy. I regret and apologize to Sang and Pegus we did not get you deck defender. It was buggy as $%^, and I hope it's easy for you to get in the future :( We got hack legendary daggers, and got Zak to the ;last stage of his staff. Would love to have finished the staff, but damn did we start late. Not too shabby for the time spent, folks.

Keep spreading diseases, Neglect.

NEFARIAN IS SLAIN... AGAIN

So, despite being another annoying tier 11 fight, heroic Nefarian is dead. And we salute the crazy people who did the encounter on heroic without DS gear, or amazing raid stackage. Uh, I was in a big hurry when we left, forsaking even loot, so a screenshot didn't happen... But there was a tonne of fire, and deadly skeletons, it looked sort of like this?

We got the title Blackwing's Bane, which is pretty cool, but don't overthink it, it sounds kinda racist if you do.

And the hurry paid off, because we managed to get heroic conclave the same night. Only Al'Akir remains!

One boss left, Neglect!

Shadows of the Destroyer

SHADOWS OF THE DESTROYER

Hack is much less scurvy today then he was yesterday!

Because he has oranges! And now to jump off Sang's balcony.

He carefully ninjad the legendary over time, by having the cruel foresight to be our only rogue. Quad, on seeing the achievement complete asked if we all get tiny rogues now. Unfortunately, we do not, and that is actually all Quad's fault.

We also killed heroic Ultraxion! Less shiny because an extra 5% nerf today, more shiny because we had a healer dpsing. Some jerk moved us to the boat before a screenshot could be taken, but it looked kind of like this!

That's hilariously bad of him because Ultraxion can't parry!

Check the forums, Neglect, lots of relevant posts to go through this week!

GLORY OF THE FIRELANDS RAIDER

We did it! ...3 weeks ago

But then we had to redo heroic Alysrazor for Sang who released.

Then Quad wasn't around for the picture.

Then everyone left superfast last week!

The moral is, heroic ascendant council really really sucks!

Does Hack have orange daggers yet Neglect?

Tales from the Firelands

TALES FROM THE FIRELANDS

We don't have our drakes yet. But we do have some memorable moments.

Also Zak saved the day on one fight and Pegus promised not to mock him for 24 hours. I wonder which 24 hours Zak will choose to spend that on!

Next week, Neglect!

Level 25, with commentary by Quadrig

LEVEL 25, WITH COMMENT BY QUADRIG

We did it!

Guild level 25, huzzah! Now everyone can mass rez, not that we wipe all the time. Well, moving on. We also get shiny lions almost noone will buy!

Sang bought it for the attention. And possibly because a frog told him to. Long story.

Also, Quad has something to add on our hitting guild level 25

Good contribution.

We still need about 200 dailies for the banner achievement, Neglect!

Can we have nice things yet?

CAN WE HAVE NICE THINGS YET?

It's the usual problem. We want nice things, but we know we can't has.

This week Hack got to the next stage on his legendary daggers quest, hooray!

But....

Zak is still from Detroit.

No nice things for us yet, Neglect!

Sidenote, using a new image host as the old one got all mandatory registration on me, so we'll see if this works :)

Double your Morchok, double your Droof

DOUBLE YOUR MORCHOKS, DOUBLE YOUR DROOF

Hello again, from the world of all-access heroics. Last night was heroic Morchok night! It was a lot like last week, except we got a better explanation of the fight's mechanics then 'it's like Morchok, but there's two, and it's easy, and I don't live in Detroit'.

Some people will say that I, once again, forgot to take a screenshot. They are wrong. I merely used an aerial lens.

There are problems, mind you. It's about Droof. He has let himself go.

We should have seen it coming. He's such a Paula Deen fan, when he found out she had type 2 diabetes it was only a matter of time before he followed suit. And now he all fat.

Say hello to your new friend for life, Droof.

Too late I realize I could have copped out on an update by claiming to be protesting SOPA, Neglect,

A tragically belated, Neglect-y Xmas

A TRAGICALLY BELATED, NEGLECT-Y XMAS

'Twas well past Winter Veil, and all through the guild,

Lamenting was heard over buff slots to be filled

Surely our 10 man cannot be so lacking,

Our stats stand so bare, without any backing!

But oh, wait a moment! 10 man's are easy

Not unlike Sang, but just one third as sleazy

Though one thing's for sure, despite any losses,

There really is an obscene lack of bosses

Where, o pray, where, have all the monsters faded?

Have they become all elitist and jaded?

"Today's raiders are just not worth getting off my backside so spiny,

I scoff at modern warriors! They are woefully less shiny"

And as bemonacled bosses sip monstrous brandy in their lair,

Our version of expanded content is the new darkmoon faire -_-

But hey, if our raids have less than spectacular specs,

There's still no denying Deathing's l00ts r forged out of sechs

So raids go by fast, but drake hunts still loom,

So many more chances to hear healers yell OOM!

A bunch left to do, new trials to attack,

If something goes wrong, hey, blame it on Zak

It's been a brief expansion, firmly rooted in past,

Everything old is new again, but it just doesn't last

Fleeting stories as the world goes to heck,

All overshadowed by shiny new tech

Expanding RealID, raid finder and transmog,

It can't be too long before our characters blog

75 valor a post, with blog achievements and feats!

Even small bits of jp when your character tweets.

But the next chapter's been anounced, and in a puzzling stroke,

The newest expansion still sounds like a joke

There shall be pandas, and monks, on a whole Asian seam,

What a radical notion, an expansion with a theme?

With all year-passers in beta, it'll no doubt be wrecked,

What better circumstances to revive <Child Neglect>!?

We'll beta relentlessly, whilst other players shirk,

Who better than us, to test how heroics work?

Then Greathfather winter appeared, notoriously late

Most likely flammable, his blood alcohol at .8

"You've certainly caused me enough holiday shtress!

Noone filled out a form for your change of address!"

He bemoaned our going Alliance, near ready to hurl,

To which Pegus replied "It's because Lamp's a girl"

He reached into his gift bag, a bottomless pit!

And he passed out many epics, none of which fit.

Mishapen mail shoulders, a single plate boot?

He shrugged drunkenly, "Hey that's 10 man loot"

We shared tales of Warcraft and the wonders we see,

"I used to be a raider" he boasted "'But then I took a Greench claw to the knee"

"Hey, you guysh should raid more times a week" he said as a notion,

A thought so outlandish, Fraax near showed emotion

"That'll go over great, a veritable breeze!

We'll get on it as soon as we feed Nihalos this cheese."

There was merriment, even gambling, despite the night's shiver

"Here's 500 gold in the Evy pool, on cirrhosis of the liver"

The greatfather stirred through his haze and expressed it time to go home-

Climbed on his rocket sleigh, and whipped his indentured gnomes

"Less kidnap-able than reindeer, tho sometimes explosive"

He explained, matter of factly, with breath quite corrosive

"Weep not for them" he proclaimed "as they're miserable noobies,

Their debt's from late in 4.2, they shorted inferno rubies!

If my sleigh, they run safely, in two years they'll be freed"

Quad nodded somberly at their plight, and said, gently, "Indeed."

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Belated happy Winter Viel to all, be ready to kung-fu fight!"

Sorry it was late this year... is what Dell should say, <Neglect>. Grumble.

THE GANG HELPS ZAK GET NICE THINGS?

THE GANG HELPS ZAK GET NICE THINGS?

It was a terrible day everyone. A day which will live in infamy. October 25th, a day when we helped Zak get something nice, and he ruined it all.

Things started innocently enough. We killed heroic Shannox again, thus proving we are better than a fight that's somewhat harder than heroic gunship. Nihalos brought water for the whole team

So then we, regrettably, helped Zak do strange, possibly perverse things to bosses, there was a lot of grabbing and touching, and what does that get us? Access to a boss who doesn't reward valor or loot -_-

Ok so then we kill the boss, and does Zak get some amazing item? No, just a sidegrade staff, same level as his old weapon.

But oh here there's a title. BUT IT'S ONLY FOR HIM?!

And boy did he show it off with his flowery trail and business. Oh, and it gets better, the title has a LIMITED DURATION.

AND HE SPENT MOST OF THE TITLE TIME ASLEEP!!!

So the only one who didn't waste all their time helping Zak get nothing done in a possiby illicit manner was Sang. Thanks Zak, you made Sang seem smarter than the rest of us. We hate you.

And everyone but Sang was there, am I writing news for him now? FML
-Newsmonster Lamp

PS Zak didnt even remember to thank Pegus, whose off-toon healing made it all possible! Jerk!
