Northern Alliance goes AoC

15.12.07

 

 

Bye WoW?

It was never officially said that we broke apart as a guild because it was to sorrow for us to put up such news, however that is the fact. After playing the (MC -> Ony -> Kazzak/Azuregos -> BWL -> Emerald Dragons -> AQ40 -> Nax-> Kara -> Gruul -> Mag -> SSC) ride together it was enough. So the wow part of Northern Alliance has been apart since early June and will never come back.

.



Due to lack of pve progression for several weeks it was doomed to happened, we had survived several crises alike but this one was the last the officers and members could handle. The game was getting old and not worth all the hassle to stay hardcore. Anything else than hardcore we could just not cope with so we stopped playing as a guild fully. With the exception of some grouping heroic farmers left in the guild on Boulderfist!!

Reuniting!

Thou I can now happily announce that Northern Alliance will reunite in the upcoming game Age of Conan that is scheduled to release Q1-Q2, 2008.

Our goal is simple, to reunite any of the old members on any level of activity and dedication, hardcore, medicore or softcore. Old members are also welcome to bring their friends so we can get a large community within the game!
To any ex na-member that has yet not received my detailed mail regarding the reuniting and is interested in a AoC future slayin’ interweb monstars, bots or humanoids. Contact me asap! @ andre.ok (at) online.no

Greetings out to current and old members of the wow crew, friends of them, guests and at last forumbots looking to spam more hot grown up Iraqi beaver bush milf glasses porn.

First 25-man raid-boss downed! 04.02.07, 23:19
With lots of potions and flasks we went into Gruul's Lair to take a glimpse of the first boss, also known as the "High King Maulgar" (a somewhat misleading name for this ugly ogre).

After 4 hours of tries on the first raid to Gruul's Lair with not even everyone level 70 yet, we stopped and went home without shiny epics.
The week after with everyone level 70 and fresh courage we did dare to go into Gruul's Lair again, and this paid us off with a kill on the ogre at around 22pm.


Anyways, here's a screenshot:

And finally, the loot:
Zappis - [Pauldrons of the Fallen Defender]
Thii - [Brute Cloak of the Ogre-Magi]

Abomination Wing cleared 09.09.06, 17:06
After two resets of struggling with low signs due to the migration we managed to pull our self together with some fresh blood, and the result where first attempt kills on Patchwerk, Grobbulus, Gluth and a good chunk of tries on Thaddius. The next day, we closed his circuit after a dramatically 1% almost wipe!



Here is the moment of truth, NOT FAKE:

Northern Alliance migrating to Boulderfist 21.08.06, 23:49
A goodbye from Northern Alliance

We have decided after our second round of migrate discussion that we will move away from Ravencrest, due to several reasons, but the main reason is the fact that Ravencrest have always been a laggy crappy server and how it has been lately has been the breaking point. We are aware of the new hardware coming, and that the lag probably goes away, but as I said, we got several reasons to migrate and we are many tripping on our toes exciting to come to a new realm.

I wish all the remaining guilds good luck, and hopefully you’ll be able to run Naxxramas smoother when the new hardware arrives.

[ Missing goodbye imagine here :( ]



Now over to the pre-migration recruitment we are running:

Are you tired of getting nowhere? Do you want to raid everyday as a hardcore and dedicated gamer? Are you willingly to sacrifice some cash? And above all, do you want to get away from Ravencrest?

Then we now offer you a chance to come with us to the Boulderfist realm as a tryout in the guild, where you will be given enough time to prove yourself as a member, and enough time so we can make 100% sure you get a fair treatment as off the fact that you are migrating with us. However, you have to be certain you can live up to our standards, because if you don’t, you won’t have a future in northern alliance. Therefor i want to underline the qualifications you need: Hardcore, Dedicated, Active. Without them, you wont make it as an hardcore raider.

This is an offer mainly aimed at friends of current guild members, but anyone is welcome to get a tryout as long as you fill out a standard application and pass our requirements. We need a good player base for the migration to ensure the survivability of the guild and capability of raiding after the migrate, so if you are an active, dedicated and skilled player, and are willingly to take a risk to get into a hardcore environment. Then read here: http://www.na-guild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1776 and make an application, Hidden or Public.

We will be fully migrated within a few days.

Greets,
Andriod,
Guild Master of Northern Alliance

Better late than never! 09.08.06, 17:34
Viscidus down, whole Temple of Ahn'Qiraj 40 officially cleared with not a single hostile mob left to gief epix! It has been delayed for months now because we have been focusing on Naxxramas, but we gave it a shot after an Ouro kill and killed him within 3hours of attempts.

Recruiting Healers 04.08.06, 03:47

I am adding this news to underline that we are actively looking for druids and priests to our member base. So if you are a healing-minded druid or priest that are looking for a hardcore pve guild, with raids everyday. Then don’t hesitate with writing an application as we are in need of 5+ healers as it is now.

I will not determine exact requirements --as we consider each case by itself-- except what you can find on our Application Guidelines topic, but raid experience and good gear is a huge plus.

NOTE: We except a HIGH level of dedication from our members and a HIGH activity, where playing 30hours a week is almost a must.

You can check the updated list of what classes we are recruiting here.
Grobbulus and Gluth down as well! 02.08.06, 05:32
A fine instance week for Northern Alliance, 3 new boss kills Patchwerk -> Grobbulus -> Gluth all learned, overcome and killed. As well as more than 25 Titan Flasks used. :)

Grobbulus was downed at monday on first try showing what a freeloot he is, we used the rest of the raid to test out Gluth, but sadly we didnt kill him that day. Tuesday after a relative quick bwl run (oh oh! 1hour and 34min!) we went Naxxramas again and attempted Gluth, ending with the kill. We ended the raid with an insane first Thaddius attempt at 96%! Zamg!



Grobbulus was downed: 31st of July 2006 @ 1950 CET by Northern Alliance.

Gluth was downed: 1st of August 2006 @ 2350 CET by Northern Alliance.

No fraps again. :(
Patchwerk lost 31.07.06, 03:32
Yeah that’s right, Patchwerk wanted to play and we gave him a real play, as originally as that sounds! At the 9th attempt this 2nd raid day on him we got him down, with 4 full potions attempts behind us I can conclude with that this was one expensive fucking kill, and we will have to do it all over again next reset. I am even looking forward to it, as the fun and challenging fight it is (for us healers at least).

With Patchwerk down we headed Grobbulus next on overtime raiding and got him down to < 20% a few times and once all the way down to 6% once, but we was tiered and ended it there.



Patchwerk was downed: 30th of July 2006 @ 2325 CET by Northern Alliance.

Patchwerk loot:
Double loot to Tuor of Doom.

Tuor - [Wand of Fates]
Tuor - [Desecrated Shoulderpads]

I belive there was no record or fraps of this fight. Maybe next time!
Instructor Razuvious down 29.07.06, 02:20
It has been a busy period, so the news has been a bit delayed on this one. Either way: Instructor Razuvious was downed as our 5th Naxxramas boss, for the first time 3 resets ago and we have now killed him 3 times, making him pretty much a boss on farm status for us.



Instructor Razuvious was downed: 17th of July 2006 @ 2245 CET by Northern Alliance.

Instructor Razuvious loots x3:

First
Rikiji - [Girdle of the Mentor]

Spider Wing cleared! 15.07.06, 14:58
After a very good start this reset with Anub and Faerlina relatively easily downed and a few attempts on Maexxna at the Wednesday 12/07 Naxxramas raid we went strong in at the Thursday Naxxramas raid where we attempted Maexxna for the third time. After an hour of refining our tactic on here, thing just worked out and we kiieeld here. Funny part is that we did not spend any extra potions, battleress or did a lollerdevine trick as it first seemed like a wipe, but hey I was wrong believing that. However we used 3 Shield Wall's on our main tanks that unfortunately had to die in the progress of this kill! <3 LeilaCastortroyElijae.

So for the statistical cause: Spider Wing and Noth the Plaguebringer cleared after a total of 11Naxxramas raids of an average of 4hours each with a total of 9 boss slain. Where 5 [Splinter of Atiesh] have been looted to our very own Protex.



Spider Wing was cleared / Maexxna downed: 13th of July 2006 @ 2100 CET by Northern Alliance.

Noth the Plaguebringer keeled 30.06.06, 15:44
After fooling around a bit with the tactics we finally found one that fits with our raid setup and used around 6 attempts to down him with that tactic in mind, that actually involves handling the third round of spawns where the Constructs comes.




Noth was downed 29th June 06 @ 2320 CET by Northern Alliance.

Anub is dead! 26.06.06, 14:52
That’s right; the so-called kite encounter called Anub'Rekhan was overcome and Anub was downed last night 2130CET the 25th of June on our second Naxxramas raid day, just after a few attempts. I must say that this encounter was a really nice start of Naxxramas, that is not to gear or potion based and rather fun to play. Additionally we cleared to Noth the Plaugebringer and got to take a shot at him before we continued with 35 quite tired people to test out the Abomination Wing trash mobs. FUNFUN? Sure was!



Anub was downed 25th of June 2006 @ 2130 CET by Northern Alliance.

C’Thun down, Ouro and Viscidus to go 27.05.06, 14:52
That’s right! We got our first C’Thun kill the 26th of May 2006, 23:30 CET!
After several weeks of wiping and with relative slow progress we started out yesterday’s raid with the thought that it would be yet another wipe-training day, but oh god we where wrong there!

The second last try within the raiding time we got him down to 64%, something that was a huge step forward. The next try everything worked out as good as we could ask for and we got C’Thun down with 8 people dead, where only 5 titans and 4 zandalar potions where used!

Attempting Ouro next.

Twin Emperor’s is Deaded!! 25.04.06, 15:58
Thats right, I used the term deaded! Deaded I say!

Emperor Vek'nilash + Emperor Vek'lor was killed (strangely enough) at the same time 18 april 2006 by Northern Alliance, yet a step forward in blizzard’s task to make us spend time killing electronic bugs!

If my calculation is correctly, this makes us the 5th guild to loot epics from the Twin Emperor’s on Ravencrest within 2months after the opening of Ahn’Qiraj.

And the lucky looters where:

Andriod - [Vek'lor's Diadem]
Deldavala – [Vek'nilash's Circlet]

Temple of Ahn'Qiraj status 18.03.06, 05:30
WEEK 1

The first reset aq40 was opened we managed to do a very decent rush all the way to Princess Huhuran and got her under 15%, good first week for us and we was looking forward to next reset with more mounts and more attempts on Huhuran.

3


WEEK 2-3

Second and third reset week after aq40 opening was a huge fallback, after multiple cancelled training attempts because of lack of signs we figured we had to recruit more players, this was a big defeat for us since this made 5 other guilds on the server beat us to the Princess Huhuran first kill.

Either way, in the third reset week after we had settled a few new members and cleaned up some bad fruit as I would call it, we finally managed to down Princess Huhuran Sunday the 12th Marsh (to get the dates correct).

3


WEEK 4

Right now we are in our forth aq40 week and attempting the Emperors, after 2 freaking hours clearing and learning the hard way how to actually not die on the trash mobs we was at the Emperors. With that we managed to get settled 1hour of attempts on them and reaching an stunning amount of 5% damage on them. Luckily us the trashmobs will respawn for the next time we enter aq40, MORE MOUNTS!

Recruiting healers and hunters 11.03.06, 03:49
We are looking for more healers to join us in the fight against C’Thun and whatnot that can be killed in upcoming events; this includes all the healer classes, priests, druids and paladins. We are also looking for more hunters. So if your interested in joining and is one of these for classes, then write an application and post it on our Forum. If you wish to make a hidden application then contact Flashback or Andriod in game.

Note: No classes except rogues are totally locked for recruitment at the moment, so if you feel you’re up for it I urge you to write an application no matter what class you are. Remember to check our forums often for status on recruitment, it can change from week to week, dependant on recent events in the guild.
MC done kwikk! 24.02.06, 15:19
Huzzah! At last I got something fresh to put on our news-page! Molten Core has officially been done within 1hour, 27min and 40sec by Northern Alliance!


Yeah, after almost 9months of raiding in Molten Core we figured, what the hell, let’s just try one of this so-called speed attempts before we head for Ahn’Qiraj and its sexy repair bills. One test attempt and a respective amount of buff farming later we were ready! So, our time from first giant pull to ragnaros kill was pretty exactly 1hour, 27min and 40sec. Not going to comment if it is a good or bad time world-wise since thats impossible to know for sure, but we were all pleased about it, and had a big smile on our face when we where done. We even killed ragnaros before sons! :)


Far from that everything was like our regular crap molten core clears, 12 epics that were needed, still stuck with 3 left parts of [Bindings of the Windseeker], and we just got our 14th Sulfuron Ingot but [Eye of Sulfuras] has yet to be seen.


Either way, I advise all guilds to try a speed attempt, since it’s the absolutely best way of trying to make Molten Core fun and maybe a bit challenging.

Week 45, BWL. 5 first boss kills and a dead puppy (not one you cry about) 14.11.05, 01:42
We started this week with hopes on getting down Broodlord, and maybe even Firemaw. We've had some slow progress so far so we didn't really know what to expect this week.

The first day went killing off Razoregore the Tamed and Vaelastrasz, no big issue there.
[Bindings of Transcendence] for Allstar. [Stormrage Bracers] for Hobbit. [The Untamed Blade] for Darlica. [Dragonstalker's Belt] for Milleus.
