The Lich King is finally dead. Fraps coming soon. Time for Starcraft 2... Must construct additional Pylons!

Bane of the Fallen King

Trilliance — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 02:47:31 +0000

Update 11-June-2010:

Our 2nd 10-man group has also successfully defeated the Lich King on heroic difficulty! This means we now officially have 20 players with the "Bane of the Fallen King" title and are capable of defeating Heroic Lich King 25. Great work by both teams & let's not forget those who had to be on standby ^_^.

Bane of the Fallen King Server 3rd, Oceanic 11th. We're currently recruiting many classes for a Heroic Lich King (25-man) kill, if you think you have what it takes - visit our Recruitment page for more information!

Addon Review: AVR (Augmented Virtual Reality)

Trilliance — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 03:25:34 +0000

* As of Patch 3.3.5, AVR will cease to work! It was fun while it lasted... * AVR (Augmented Virtual Reality) allows you to draw and add lines, circles and other markings in-game environment itself. All markings may also be shared with others, but I assume they need to have the addon installed as well. Raid leaders will find this addon an extremely helpful tool for explaining strats to the raid. For example, it can be used to mark locations when explaining raid tactics. These marks can even be left visible for the fight itself. Say goodbye to all those flares! Download AVR here To install: Copy the folder to your Addon folder, restart WoW and you're good to go. Other things you can do with AVR:

Draw range circles around you at any range
Clearly mark players close to you
Bossmods type things, currently adds a red circle on Festergut spores, Putriced Malleable Goo (one target only), Rotface ooze explosion and Sindragosa Frost beacons. (Requires BigWigs for these to work.)
Mark any location relative to player position and rotation, for example mage blink landing spot
Measure distances

Here's a screenshot of how the addon looks like in game. Here comes the best part. The coolest thing is that it integrates with another addon: "AVR Encounters" (aka AVRE) to provide visual effects to highlight various boss mechanics, "boosting" your raid awareness heaps. You can download the godly addon AVRE here. Currently AVRE supports only some encounters in the Icecrown Citadel raid:

Icecrown Citadel: Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, Festergut, Rotface, Professor Putricide, Blood Prince Council, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa, The Lich King (does not work correctly after the platform collapses due to Blizzard zone coordinate bugs).
Ulduar: Hodir, Freya, Mimiron, General Vezax, Yogg-Saron.

Example videos: These are some somewhat early examples of what AVR+AVRE can do. The graphics have been altered a bit since these videos were taken, but you get the idea.

Putricide (Unbound Plague):
Putricide (Malleable Goo):

Addon memory usage is surprisingly decent... ~780kb of addon memory usage in our Lich King attempts, way lower than some resource-intensive addons such as Grid or Recount. If you have a decent system, it doesn't hurt your framerate very much. Yes, it does lower it some. If you have a slow computer or low frame rate already, I wouldn't recommend using AVR/AVRE. Overall, I think this is a really excellent addon and an extremely valuable tool for raid leaders to explain raid tactics precisely, accurately on the in-game environment. Coupled with AVRE, there is no reason for you to fail at certain boss fights now!

The Fall of the Lich King

Trilliance — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:12:36 +0000

Freeing himself from his frozen encasing, Tirion shatters Frostmourne with the Ashbringer. A swirling maelstrom of souls soon releases, surrounding the Lich King and hoisting him up in the air. A booming voice echoes through the air, "Rise up, champions of the Light!"
From nowhere, the raid is mass resurrected by the ghost of Ternenas. Rising up from the dead with renewed vigor, we seal the Lich King's fate. The swirling mass of souls dissipates as his body falls with a heavy thud...
Losing his Helm of Domination with remnants of Frostmourne scattered beside him, the Lich King reaches out one last time for his helm. But his strength is depleted. The blue glow in his eyes finally fades, and his hands drop to the ground. Alas the Lich King has fallen!
Listen to Pavor's motivational prep-talk before the kill and experience again the epic battle all over again:

Great job to everyone who was in the raid, and to those who were unable to raid we thank you for your support.
A higher challenge now awaits us as heroic modes are finally unlocked, and we're seeking new blood to bolster our ranks.
If you think you have the perseverance and dedication, as well as the capability necessary to defeat heroic mode bosses in ICC, please head over to our Recruitment section to find out on how you can apply. We're currently actively recruiting most classes for heroic mode progression.

The Definitive Lich King Guide (10-man)

Trilliance — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:52:32 +0000

The Lich King is the final encounter in Icecrown Citadel. It consists of 5 phases, 1 which repeats and 1 which is no threat to your raid. This thread is currently marked for 10 man, but the basic principles can be taken for 25 man. It just gets a little more tricky with larger groups and more Val'kyrs to deal with.

Goood Newws Everyone! After wiping the 1st try of the night at 0% (35k HP before we let him heal), we went back for revenge and downed him the 2nd try and thus clearing the Plagueworks!

Trilliance — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 09:38:04 +0000

Here's a new kill video of the new boss Festergut by one of our 10-man groups. Though it's just a normal-mode video & a relatively simple fight, it is our first video of a kill in ICC. I do hope you enjoy it!

Tribute to Insanity! (25-player)
