Scalebane - An Alliance Guild on Eredar

Wondering Where We Are?

Hey all!

Quick note for those of you who are inactive and curious, or coming back for Classic and thinking about us -

We're still active.

Discord is sorta our "vent" and our "forums" at this point, and we're still playing WoW and still actively raiding on Eredar-US. /who Scalebane and you'll probably see a few of us on. Whisper us for a link to Discord if you want to come hang out.

12/13 Heroic Hellfire Citadel

We've been up to stuff since last update. For example, here is NORMAL Archimonde:

Cool, right? Well, we're only killing him to get the legendary ring upgrades. We murderated the heroic version of the instance too, getting all of the loots along the way. We're now working on Heroic Archimonde. Look forward to us gloating over yet another corpse in the future.

And for gloating, I never did mention:

We killed that guy, too. Don't ask us how many wipes it took - Everyone stepped up and kicked ass, and it was an incredible experience. We have an incredible core of players dedicated both to continued success, and each other.

Blackrock Foundary Progress - 10/10 N 9/10 H

Hello again, fellow murderers and pillagers!

This update, as with almost everyone I've ever been responsible for, is coming to you waaay late. Before you give me that look again, I want you to take a second and recognize it as being a good thing.

What's that, you say? "how u meen??>?"

Well, my retired non-friend, it's about perspective. These news posts are the whale, amidst the fish, moving at an unhurried pace. Or perhaps the feast from an enemy's larders following successful conquest. They're the taste of true epic in your otherwise base existence - You may seek meaning from life, and I will occasionally provide. But let's pull it back a bit.

These past few months have been incredible for the guild. We smashed through Blackrock Foundary on Normal, and then progressed through Heroic even more quickly. A former-then-and-now-current guildmember asked me, just a few weeks ago, if we'd started heroic. We were 9/10H at the time, with a fresh Furnace kill. Solid. I don't think he expected that. Honestly, neither did I at the time. Still sounds odd to me, and I've been there with you guys and girls at every twist of this path.

Enough! You've come for pictures, and I will provide. They're pretty random, so enjoy them for what they are. The most important thing to note is that we're 10/10N and 9/10H BRF, with a full 10/10H coming soon.

Deliberately not included: The kill shot of Normal Blackhand. Didn't want to cause anyone a heart attack.

Ogre Genocide - Highmaul Clear

Greetings, my fellow bloodthirsty nitwits.

I have a thought for you: Killing a two-headed Ogre - One kill, two deaths?

Mar'gok is dead, as seen in the top picture. Some earlier boss kill shots included. Heroic difficulty incoming.

Historical Shots and Old Promises

Just some old shots I had promised to post once. Didn't seem right to leave them unposted.

Not pictured is our Dragon Soul Deathwing kill. And the companionship. Hard to get that in picture form.

/salute to raids gone by.

What is best in life?

There are many like it...

...but this one is mine.

And so it is done.

A lot to say but little space to do so. I have a legendary, and everyone in this guild deserves the praise for it. I am but one green-haired raid leader.

Frostwyrms!

10 man ICC Frostwyrms were pulled out of mailboxes today after we did cool stuff in ICC 10. Well done to all there.

This is probably the first time I've done the news in awhile.

In related news, Riin is in the mountains. And we're going to have to do this again for him. What a sonva bitch.

Halion Kill

YES YES I KNOW THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN FOUR WEEKS AGO.

I've heard it every raid. "hey durk, ware is uor pic of taht dragun lol?"

Here it is. So gtfo!

Oh, and uhh... well done. And all that. Yeah.

Sindragosa/Frost Wing Cleared

Knocked down, finally. No raid on Saturday, so this is a fantastic way to end the week. Have a good holiday, and kick ass job tonight.

This makes us 11/12. That also means I need to explain the Lich King fight to everyone. Damn it!
