| Heroic: Glory of The Ulduar Raider Posted by Aurelius on June 17th, 2009 @ 10:49 PM On our first night of attempts Forlorn Legacy has completed Heroic: One Light In The Darkness, Yogg-Saron's hard mode! With this kill, we have completed the meta-achievement, Heroic: Glory of the Ulduar Raider!  Also on a more personal note, with today's Yogg kill I have completed the quest to form Val'anyr, Hammer of the Ancient Kings! I got my 30th Fragment just the other night from General Vezax. Soon I'll be releasing a video documenting the short questline and RP event after turning in all of the fragments! 
          Recruitment is currently open for the following... Mages Any exceptional players are also encouraged to apply! Images: Drake Screenshot (Full Size) / Val'anyr Screenshot (Full Size) 
Forlorn Legacy Fire Department Posted by Aurelius on June 17th, 2009 @ 10:49 PM After two long weeks, Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: Firefighter! Mimiron's Hard Mode. With this kill, we now have access to Algalon the Observer!  After pressing the big red button to enable hard mode, Mimiron's room will begin to explode and spawn doomfire all around the room. I use the term doomfire because it's very similar to the fire from the Archimonde encounter back in Hyjal Summit. In addition to this, Mimiron gains 30% extra damage and health. Throughout the fight Mimiron will try to put out the fires, in each phase he will use a different method to do so. In Phase 1 he will perform Flame Suppressant, which wipes out all the fires in the room. In Phase 2 he will drop Frost Bombs, which will put out all fires in a certain radius, but also deal 50,000 frost damage to players. In Phase 3, he will spawn Emergency Fire Bots which patrol around the room and put out fires, but also have a 15 yard silencing aura. Finally, in Phase 4, any Emergency Fire Bots that are still up will continue to put out fires, he will also continue using Frost Bombs. Overall, an extremely challenging encounter that requires an extreme level of coordination and skill. I could not be more proud of our guild for getting this achievement! All that's left for us is Yogg-Saron Hard Mode and Algalon The Observer! Images: Kill Screenshot (Full Size) Video: HD Version (1680x1050) / SD Version (840x524) / Streaming Version
Saronite is Not Addictive Posted by Aurelius on May 23rd, 2009 @ 5:41 AM Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: I Love The Smell of Saronite In The Morning! General Vezax's Hard Mode. This kill puts us at 6th in the United States & 21st in the World for Ulduar Progression.  Once 8 Saronite Vapors spawn they will combine and form a large elemental called a "Saronite Animus" which has 12 million HP and casts Profound Darkness on the whole raid every 2 seconds. The ticks start off at 750 shadow damage, increasing by 10% for each tick (750, 825, 900, 975, etc). Once the Animus has been defeated, Vezax loses his immunity shield and you can continue DPS'ing him. If you're working on this encounter there are a few tricks you can use to help. First and foremost, stack your raid with as many mages as you can get and have them spec 19/0/52, they do an incredible amount of damage on this fight and as frost they consume very little mana. Paladins - spec into Divine Sacrifice & Divine Guardian, also be sure to run your T8 4pc for the set bonus, for roughly 500 mana your sacred shield will absorb a huge amount of damage. Shadow Priests - spec into Improved Vampiric Embrace, even though your healing is low while in shadow crashes, it will still help during Profound Darkness.

Heartbreaker, Dream Maker Posted by Aurelius on May 21st, 2009 @ 9:46 AM Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: Heartbreaker! XT-002 Deconstructor's Hard Mode, this is our 6th hard mode kill in Ulduar!  Activating hard mode is quite simple, kill the Heart of the Deconstructor within 30 seconds. Upon destroying the heart XT-002 will heal to full and gain 60% extra HP, bringing him up to around 35 million HP. In hard mode, light bombs will now spawn an add called a "Life Spark" which has around 175k HP and does an AOE to the whole raid and hits for 2000 Nature Damage, Gravity Bombs will now also spawn a void zone when they detonate. The scrap bots from the corners will no longer spawn. It is important to note that the 10 minute enrage timer starts when you engage the boss, not when you activate hard mode. Based on how long it takes you to burn him to 75% to begin the heart phase, you'll have roughly ~8:30 minutes to complete hard mode.

FL Downs FL Hard Mode Posted by Aurelius on May 19th, 2009 @ 12:19 AM Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: Orbit-uary! Flame Leviathan's Hard Mode on our very first night of attempts.  Unfortunately, this fight comes with its share of bugs. Quite a few actually, but one of the most annoying bugs was happening quite frequently tonight. Randomly, the Demolisher Passengers will be unable to pickup Liquid Pyrite, this pretty much will result in a wipe due to the fact that Demolishers without pyrite are effectively useless. Hopefully Blizzard fixes this soon! Images: Kill Screenshot (Full Size) Video: HD Version (1680x1050) / SD Version (840x524) / Streaming Version
Knock, Knock, Knock On Wood! Posted by Aurelius on May 17th, 2009 @ 11:45 PM I am proud to announce that Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood, Freya's Hard Mode!  Hard mode is activated by leaving the three elders in the Conservatory of Life alive, each of them grants two special abilities to Freya, in addition to increasing the HP of the adds and Freya herself. Elder Stonebark grants Freya +50% physical damage as well as the Ground Tremors ability. Elder Ironbranch grants Freya's allies +50% physical damage and the Strengthened Iron Roots ability. Finally, Elder Brightleaf grants Freya's allies +50% magical damage as well as the Unstable Energy ability.

I Choose You, Steelbreaker Posted by Aurelius on May 9th, 2009 @ 2:41 AM Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: I Choose You, Steelbreaker, The Assembly of Iron's Hard Mode!  The only challenging part of this encounter is killing Steelbreaker last. When Brundir and Molgiem are both dead Steelbreaker will begin casting Overwhelming Power on whoever is tanking him, this ability will cause the target to die in 30 seconds, but during that time the target will do 200% more damage, this is very similar to Vaelastrasz's Burning Adrenaline. Once the tank dies from this ability, Steelbreaker will heal for 20% of his life (2 million HP) and gain 25% additional damage. Not only is he hitting the tank, but his High Voltage aura is also hitting the rest of the raid, which also increases in damage.

This Cache Was Definitely Rare Posted by Aurelius on May 5th, 2009 @ 2:41 AM After just a few attempts, Forlorn Legacy has completed the achievement Heroic: I Could Say That This Cache Was Rare, Hodir's Hard Mode!  I should have a video of our kill up shortly. Also, some of our DPS requested the parse be posted up for e-peen flexing purposes, click here for the WMO parse! Keep in mind that in this encounter a certain level of RNG plays heavilly into who gets buffs like Storm Power.

Yogg-Saron Defeated Posted by Aurelius on April 19th, 2009 @ 5:25 PM  In Phase 2 a few raid members will travel into Yogg-Saron's mind to attack his brain directly, which is the only way to do damage to him. The rest of the raid will be killing Crusher Tentacles and Corruptor Tentacles above, this is very similar to the C'Thun encounter, the Crusher Tentacles must be killed as fast as possible, every time they are damaged they gain a stacking debuff that increases its damage done, which means the raid has to stop DPS every so often. Once Yogg reaches 30%, the third and final phase begins! Yogg-Saron will become vulnerable in phase 3, but you'll also have to deal with Immortal Guardians, which hit like a truck. Yogg also performs his Lunatic Gaze ability, which will require the raid to point their face away. DPS Yogg, DPS the Immortal Guardians, win! Now our focus will shift to hard mode achievements and ultimately, Mr. Algalon The Observer. Update: Apologies for the long wait, I blame final exams! It's worth the wait though, because we have not one, but two videos for your viewing pleasure! The first one is by yours truly, Aurelius. I have two versions - HD (1680x1050) and a streaming version through the website. The second video is by Gamas, a mage, he has an HD (1920x1080) version ready for download.

Ulduar Progression Update Posted by Aurelius on April 17th, 2009 @ 2:32 PM    Images: Mimiron (Full Size), Auriaya (Full Size), Kologarn (Full Size)
World of Warcraft Patch 3.1 Released Posted by Aurelius on April 14th, 2009 @ 9:51 AM "Since discovering Ulduar in the Storm Peaks, adventurers have journeyed to the titan city to learn more about its mysterious past. Further exploration has revealed that the magnificent complex is above all a prison, intended to permanently confine the Old God of death, Yogg-Saron. This ancient horror has corrupted its guards, and now it is breaking through the last of its restraints. Faced with the peril of Yogg-Saron's imminent freedom, a band of mortals has made preparations for a sweeping assault on the city. Overcoming the legions of iron minions and towering defenses at the city's entrance will take tremendous strength, but even that great victory may not be enough to overcome the madness that dwells below." Today, April 14th, 2009 marks the release of the latest World of Warcraft Patch, The Secrets of Ulduar! Aside from the new raid instance, this patch features Class Changes, UI Improvements, Dual Talent Specialization and The Argent Tournament. As always, Forlorn Legacy will be raiding hardcore nonstop to get these new bosses down, we spent a lot of time on the PTR testing some of these new encounters so we already have a pretty good feel for a majority of the instance. Check this website daily to keep updated on our progress! I'll be doing my best to upload videos of all the new boss encounters as we defeat them!

Kologarn Defeated on PTR Posted by Aurelius on March 7th, 2009 @ 9:37 PM  Kologarn is another fairly easy encounter with no hard mode. I think the fight is farily well tuned the way it is. One of the coolest parts about this boss is his death animation, which results in a bridge leading to the next area. Be sure to check out the video!

The Iron Council Defeated on PTR! Posted by Aurelius on February 27th, 2009 @ 10:06 PM  5 Minutes Later.... 
Heroic Glory of the Raider Completed! Posted by Aurelius on February 11th, 2009 @ 12:22 AM Today, Forlorn Legacy has completed our final Raid & Dungeon Achievement Heroic: Glory of the Raider! After getting The Immortal last Friday, all that was left was Heroic: The Dedicated Few and Heroic: Subtraction, which we completed earlier today. A total of 21 members recieved Black Proto- Drakes, which fly at 310% speed! Now that we've completed all the 10 Man and 25 Man Raid and Dungeon Achievements it's time to kick back and enjoy the (hopefully) brief wait until Ulduar comes out. See you on the 3.1 Public Test Realms! 
Forlorn Legacy Defeats 3 Drake Sartharion Posted by Aurelius on November 30th, 2008 @ 1:22 AM 3 Drake Sartharion, also known as Hard Mode Sartharion, the one and only encounter that could be considered challenging, has been defeated by Forlorn Legacy! From what we've been able to gather, this could very well be a top 10 US kill! We're all anxiously awaiting the next content patch, which will hopefully bring a new, challenging raid dungeon (Ulduar) to the table.
