Oh...hey guys! I guess I have been following the chart I posted below pretty accurately. I want to thank Star Wars for making this possible. Also, if it wasn't for the douchebags on the manga forums, I may not have been able to accomplish this remarkable feat.

So time has a passed a bit and we beat the expansion. Now, normal people usually get really excited before a server first, especially an end expansion kill, but we crazy maniacs managed to do the complete opposite. I have never seen a server/guild first kill in my entire life where the entire Ventrilo is complete dead silent for a good 30 seconds or the last 5% of his health. I was like...what the fuck is wrong with us? Why is it so quiet? Normally, you will hear people screaming something along the lines of: KILL IT MOTHERFUCKER. KILL IT. GO GO GO. ALMOST. COME ON. FUCK YEAH. Nope. None. Nothing. It was interesting to say the least. You should ask any Exordium raid member that was present for that kill about the 'Awkward silence'. And no, my vent was working.



I was told not to do this, but since we killed it and I don't mind showing proof to everyone in the world on exactly how we did it, pure legit style. Here it is and make sure you pay attention to the lower right:



Next. The wipe cycle again. Instead of showing you just the final boss, I decided to scrap up and just do the whole tier for you:



Here are a few notes to this graph:
The number for the first three bosses are not accurate.
Blackhorn took way more attempts than the graph shows.
Deathwing is by far the easiest end game boss (for us) in all of Exordium history.

Here is the main reason why we are happy we are done: This tier sucks. We did it before the 10% nerf.

Coming up: Recount on each glorious epic events that we waste our time on for weeks. But since I am very lazy to type and I have a bad memory in general, let's just skip all the bullshit ones out. So in this case, it will only be for Dragon Soul raids.

Before I continue, here is the golden rule for website updates:



Truth to be told...other than me being a fucking otaku (I am; don't mind admitting that at all, but I don't watch any Animes), we had a very slow start on this tier. There are a lot of reasons that led to this, but I am not going to feed you guys with our excuses and reasoning behind them. Let's just say we always start out slow. We also don't mind a gazillion number of Mages as well.

We are 4/8. Expect to see progression to continue after the holidays.

Have a safe and happy Christmas. Unfortunately, I will not have a wallpaper for you all unlike last year.

See you guys in 4.3.

Ragnaros 2.0 has been banned from US-Eredar.

After spending weeks on perfecting our playstyle, strategies, and how to handle every phase effectively for this encounter, we finally managed to beat the fuck out of this guy. The learning progress was slow, but it was noticeable. Everyday, we got better at the fight. Of course, there were moments where we felt like we were going backwards, but it is safe to say that we were progressing most of the time. Last week, we all knew a kill was due. There were no player deaths for our first kill. I don't think anyone who was there that evening will ever forget this battle. It was truly a moment for the history books for the Cataclysm chapter.

I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone for working so hard together to make this happen and consistently logging on. To all the shit-talkers, hecklers and critics, come back when you've looted this corpse and we'll talk.

About the fight itself...I was actually pissed off about the 15% health and damage nerf, because we have been consistently getting to the final phase with two meteors before the nerf. But what's done is done. So whatever.

Here is the breakdown of our wipes:

We spent roughly around 300 or so attempts on this boss. While the numbers are a little skewed and are not 100% accurate, they are about 90% accurate.

Here are the reasons for our wipes:

No explanations are needed here. I really don't have to talk about Farnzworth, do I?

Here are the reasons why we killed it:

Yes, we fixed dreadfail by switching one person. Don't give Shake a hard time.

Since this tier is done, you guys are probably stuck looking at the same shit day in and day out until 4.3 rolls out. Hopefully for your sake and mine, we will have a video up for our kill shortly, so I have something to post about. Otherwise, go ahead and blame Blizzard for their slow releases.

One last thing. If you were to ask me if Heroic LK in its original state before 4.0.3 came out was harder than Ragnaros post nerf, I will gladly say Heroic LK is harder.

P.S. So who do you think got our first mount? It's really obvious, but he actually won it legit (via RR).

Yo everyone. This tier is done. I will provide a proper update over the next couple of days since I am at work and I got nothing. Meanwhile, you can make fun of my UI with my key binds, pet abilities, and whatever else you want. If you have any issues with my UI, talk to Jab; if you have any issues with my pet abilities, go to Unggoy; if you have any issues with my key binds, go to Dangles; if you have any issues with our kill, you can go to Krouton., but here is our kill shot.

Before I take off, I would like to congratulate Ezyflo on his staff.

After a good four to five years, we get to see another legendary staff. Congrats Dangles on his staff.

Apparently, the news made it to Wow Insider. I would like to thank Fecklar of Para Los Muertos and Wow Insider for making this possible.

Video for the ceremony can be seen below (NSFW obviously):

All of them are Hunter Perspective. No Shannox. I don't see a reason why we need one for him. Incase you are wondering, it is normal mode...

Lord Rhyolith



Alysrazor



Baleroc



Majordomo



Just kidding.

Since the weather has generally been so great outside, I am sure you guys know one of the main issues we are having, just like every other sane high-end guild.

Let's be honest, there's more to it than that. No one wants to group with people that have a shitty Fisherprice Internet connection. Get a new connection you lazy bitch. Sure, might as well blame it on Lufan's lack of updates with no images, no creativity, and just a bunch of whiny rants of nonsense bullshit.

Wow, if I haven't managed to piss you off in some way by now, then something is seriously wrong with you. Let's talk about the real main problem here. Instead of randomly bashing people who either have some wonderful AFK excuses, or don't have a proper Internet connection...I am going to finally admit the root of the problem: Me. I basically just went on a berserk and suffered some brain damage. Not only I lost all my HTML skills and the password to this damn site; I also managed to delete the entire archive of images and videos.

Now the stupid drama is out of the way, here are some of the highlights that happened during our progression in Firelands:

We always raid late on Thursdays because TheJuice will always go to McDonalds and brag about his 20 piece chicken nuggets. Sometimes, he will mention gay bacon strips.

Our ex-resto Druid wiped us on Countdown by trying to run to the other person, hesitated, back-peddled a good 5 seconds, then eventually just stopped moving altogether. The funny thing is, he started blaming the poor rogue that was running to him with all his strength and tears off his eyes. I can write a whole fucking book about this dude on our wonderful Alysrazor learning experiences, but I chose not to. You can ask our raiders about him.

Krouton tanked both fire birds while playing the dancing inferno game during Alysrazor. Of course he didn't die; don't bother asking such foolish questions.

Lufan. Because he disappeared for seven weeks with no explanations whatsoever.

The legendary 0.01% Baleroc (200k/195m) wipe. There are many things that can make the kill happen, but I chose to blame it all on Kolotron anyway for DCing. Where's the wipe video? Alethea apparently trashed it.

We are 5/7 right now. I don't see Majordomo lasting much longer with the way things are going.

Since I pretty much have nothing left in the archive, Araho was nice enough to re-upload the Beth'tilac video for us.

No videos. No screenshots. No logs. No hoes, but got a Shard of Woe.

I will let you guys armory us. You might get a grand prize if you can find out who had the most deaths from the elevator boss (Yes, Armory does include that).

Cho'gall, commonly known as the prominent figure of the Twilight Hammer Clan, has recently became the queen bitch of the universe of Exordium. So who was the previous NFG on our farm list? Retard Check Council. I am not sure what is more of an accomplishment between the two: Finding out who the true retards in your guild that finds the best possible way to wipe (e.g. Rocket Boot malfunction and the fire patch spawns in the air), or finding out who cannot interrupt worth shit and/or DPS adds for all of eternity (e.g. We had a rogue that had a damage breakdown of 100% on the boss). I am sure if you ask ANY of our raiders, they will be much more irritated on the first one.

I would continue the update with more info, but I am doing my laundry. Yes, it is almost 2am and I am doing my laundry. I have to do it at a time where I will not bump into any of my roommates. Last time I did this, I had to sit on my ass for a good 2 hours shouting upstairs, 'Fucking gay N***** bitch takes forever to do their shit ass work'. Did I mention one of my roomates is a 50 year old fat chick? The bitch is so fat that it takes forever for her to walk up and down the stairs; it makes the old farts with those walking sticks look like Olympic champions. Earlier today, I had a wonderful update. It was typed up, ready to roll out, and just as I hit the submit button, the fucking electricity goes off for the 4th time in 2 weeks. I am not going to tell you what happened after that. Now, you might ask what does this have to do with Exordium and WoW? Absolutely nothing. Still 6 minutes left on the dryer.

We have two Cho'gall videos for you. The first is from APHAT productions. It is unedited, with full ventrilo. The second one is from Alethea, Hunter perspective, but no ventrilo. It's a matter of time before we just name our guild to 'COPE U GAY'. I bet that will encourage more of our people to log in and play again so we might actually fix some of the problems that I brought up in the beginning of this update.

The grind is officially over; we are all sick of it.

From this:



to this





Of course, one of our least dedicated player is the only person that got the realm achievement.



But all in all, on the behalf of Exordium, our GM: Jab, and myself, would like to thank everyone that helped made this happen. It wasn't just our raiders that did all this; it was everyone that tried to get online after they are done with school/work to help made this grind go faster.

Of course, the after party is having a hard-on for the scorpions.



P.S. I know my UI sucks, and I don't care!

But definitely not in Bastion of Twilight. This is the end. Farewell, twins.

The amount of sub 10% wipes we have for this boss is simply unimaginable. It beats all our other bosses by a milestone. In other words, fuck this boss.

Blackwing's evolution wasn't so evolutionary afterall, because it all ends here.

News at 11.

Expansion, after expansion, we just keep kicking more and more ass.

Which brings me to tonight's update: Heroic Al'Akir bites the dust!



We know it's a 10 man. But hey, we did this legit; none of this raid stacking bullshit.

We are damn proud of this kill in every way after lots of practice.

Ok fuggers, today's going to the bitch day because shit took longer than usual to die that's out of our scope.

First. How in the Fuck (Capital F) does the instance bug get past their QA department is simply beyond my imagination. Because of this, we have been sitting around with our dicks or pussies (Yes, we have female gamers in the guild) on our left hand, and have nothing better else to do simply the fact that some of our raiders cannot zone into the instance.

Let me explain the bug real quick. You kill a heroic boss, call the night off. The next day, you kill another boss in normal mode in the same instance with different members; players that participated the heroic boss kill, but did not for the normal kill is locked out for the rest of the week. Unless you are a Blizzard employee, or a real deal hacker like Krouton, you aren't going to be able to zone in. It is confirmed Krouton is a Blizzard employee, so stop asking me about it.* When it comes to locking out and being the victim, of course I was one of them; in fact, I was the ultimate victim in the guild. I had to put up with this shit for two straight weeks.

"But Lufan...that is your..." shut the hell up, I am not done. Clearing trash for Atramedes in normal, then change it to Heroic will result in teleporting the entire raid back to the beginning of the instance. You kids are smart enough to know what this means. It would be worth it or actually be a little fun if purples were not extinct. Yeah, might as well throw this one while I am crying extremely loud: Learning Magmaw for the third time wasn't fun at all. I will give props to Blizzard to get part of the encounter in the right direction aka less kiting.

Now the bad shit is out of my system, let's bring the good ones in. Let's see...what else died since the last update? Yeah, Atra-Blind and the Nef System. Let's start first with Atra-Blind. Here's the breakdown of the fight:

0% Skill
0% Healing
0% DPS
0% Tanking
100% Retard Check

It doesn't matter how many people you do it with. I love seeing most people running around with their head cut off during the air phase because 'That is the right thing to do' - Jab. This fight at the current state is such a complete joke. Onto, the Nef System. Why did I call it the Nef System instead of the Tron System? Because Nef does such an awesome job at trolling the raid. Let's just say we exploited the shit out of this to get the entire system shut down. Well, actually, here's the real break-down of the fight:

0% Skill
0% Healing
0% DPS
0% Tanking
0% Retard Check
90% Interrupter(s)
10% WOL Whores

Pretty sure no explanations are needed here. Once shit was sorted out, we beat him the old-fashioned way.

I am definitely proud of everyone's dedication to seeing shit dead compared the past two weeks where we have been ass-fucked by Blizzard. It's great to be surrounded by some of the most crazy, funny, messed up bungholes who just want to see stuff dead. Because I can assure you, most of us have a lot of fun doing it.

We have opened some recruitment. Check the navigator on the left and on the forums for more details.

*I am also not responsible for any misleading or inaccurate information.

After firmly proving that we can easily farm all our heroic kills, we went on to 2 shot Heroic Maloriak. Gratz to everyone that helped us kill this. We are now 5/12. Expect to see another boss kill next week. Thanks to the interrupters for failing and making Jab yell. We always seem to kill things when Jab yells. Oh and also....plans are for bads.

It appears setting up poses and positions for screenshots are a lot harder than videos, so we will present you not one, but two videos! First is from aPHAT productions, melee perspective. Second is from XxroflParisqtlolxXx, healer perspective. Vent conversation are included on both videos; second one being much more clear than first.

Another day, another hard mode... We're currently sitting at 20th US on WoWProgress and looking for more.

Please enjoy a video of our US 20th kill, created by our holy palidan extraordinaire Parisqt... who is actually a dude.



We're still recruiting a restoration Shaman and possibly a Hunter, so head on over to the forums to apply!

After forcing the entire raid to play DDR during the past day or two, we finally went to the real battlefield. This battlefield requires almost everybody needing to achieve an A score on DDR, and we finally did it. By accomplishing this extremely hard task yielded us six pieces of level 372 loot.

For the ladies.

Yes, you bastards, I didn't update the page for a while. Truth is, there is nothing really worth talking about. I don't find it exciting when I post a corpse shot of a normal raid boss every other day, or write a book about how we felt about the expansion, and I am sure you guys all feel the same way. But lately, I keep getting random tells to get an update going, figured I could brush it off. However, when I get faggots like Griip, Mexicans like Copellano, random nobodies that I don't even know who they are, then I guess I have some sort of reason to. But FFS, even my duo little bitches Eubanks and Paris are on my balls about it. Thank Goodness, Jab didn't say shit, or else I would have been six feet under by now.

So here it is! An Update. Tonight, we charged right into the Bastion of Twilight with only one thing in mind: To see Twilight Council and Cho'gall dead. I don't even think I can count the number of times we got the Twilight council down to 3%, 2%, 1%, and that one 0.0000000000001%. Anyway, all that aside, we managed to beat it; considering the encounter is so utterly fucked up on 25 man compared to 10 man.

What about the end boss of that instance? Same shit. Just reverse the story around. Honestly, when I saw him in Durotar before Cataclysm came out, I always wanted to kill that god damn son-of-a-bitch. We wiped once because our XRAY goggles malfunctioned so we were unable to see the add because of his big fatass. His size is definitely comparable with 'TheJuice', but nowhere near the legendary 'SPQR'.

As for all the other encounters, as I mentioned before, I am sure you guys will be bored to death if I keep posting corpse shots. Just be patient. It is a matter of time before Nefarian's setback is sealed up, because we are all already tired of seeing him alive. Get ready to change your new wallpaper, fellas.

Anyway, I am done for now. Exordium wishes you all to have a safe and happy Christmas.

Cataclysm is here and Exordium is ready for it. Congratulations to Krouton (or whatever he's calling himself now) for reaching level 85 first on the server.

Congratulations to:

Lufan for server first Hunter,
Anakiim for server first Druid,
Jab for server first Shaman,
Degausser for server first Priest,
Copellano for server first Mage,
Dangles for server first Warlock, and to
Soteira for server first Paladin.

Holy shit that's alot of server firsts. Stay tuned for further Cataclysm domination!

Welcome to the new Exordium website for Cataclysm. I hope you like it. If not, refer to the forums to add your comments, questions, and concerns. That said, I prefer accolades.
