We went, we saw, we beated the game

Surprisingly enough, last night @ 8:10 pm GMT -5 we managed to kill Kil’jaeden before lag started to smack our server (and even if you think it’s a joke, after we killed him the server did start lagging, I guess lucky us).

And even tho this was after patch 3.0 was introduced, we are the second alliance guild that has managed to kill him in our server; we would have probably killed him earlier last week but lag wasn’t letting us.

As for the drops

Helm of Burning Righteousness
Crux of the Apocalypse
Dark Conjuror’s Collar
Thalassian Ranger Gauntlets

Personally I’m happy because we finished the game before Wrath of the Lich King, which is hitting live in a couple of weeks.

After you kill him there’s some sort of event, here are a couple of screenshots

*shake it, baby*

So yeah, Pro Baddies has beated the game, once again ^_^ Congrats to everybody for all the hard work, those that were in the raid and those that missed it because of RL stuff. Ahh, and don’t mind the front page in probaddies.com, Unrequius hasn’t been able to update it, I think he has too much homework.

You gotta love server issues

Before I start with the post I wanted to say that my site has been experiencing issues for probably a month or two. I’m not really sure what is going on but, of what I’m reading, it seems there’s something wrong with wordpress, which is causing some overload in my database. I don’t see what can be done to fix it, since there’s no wordpress update (I recently updated to 2.6.2 without any luck of it getting fixed).

I’m thinking about moving webhosts, but not sure. This is why the site takes so long to load (sometimes), or it says that the page doesn’t exist, or it doesn’t load or it gives a database error.

It’s really frustrating, and I apologize for the inconveniences. I’ll see what I can do about it this week.

As for the post, we’ve been having some good Kil’jaeden attempts

The last one was a 0.02% wipe…

It blows because we’ve been having to have attempts with such terrible lag and server issues that it gets frustrating to a point, like we are about to pull and when we get into the zone everybody’s skills start lagging and we wipe, or when you die and release your ghost shows up inside the instance, you rez and after a minute or so you get teleported alive to the graveyard (not to mention that if you rez and the boss is still up you die again).

Here’s more

In that picture we were all lagged. Notice Doomhandle, he triggered his rocket boots but, for everybody else, he was stuck in place with fire in his feet (and if you check the background there’s a ton of MEs wrecking someone, it probably took 5 minutes for my clones to kill that person, since they weren’t damaging the person).

This one wasn’t really lag, but funny: someone in the raid had Illidan’s dagger (or that was what they said in vent) and notice all the duplicates he got due to that

Saw the incredible amount of flames at the back? That is PLUS the rogue that was duplicated as well, hahahaha.

Here is what I was saying about dying and releasing, when the ghost showed up inside the instance

And then when you zoned out after the terrible lag you’d have to get stuck in the loading screen for a couple of seconds, for either showing up in the graveyard or getting into the instance.

So, yeah, please Blizzard, fix the CENSORED CENSORED ARGHHH #$@&*(#(@$& DAMNNNNN lag and server issues, we’ve lost a lot of time waiting for lag to go off, then when we start it comes back again, then we wipe terrible and have to wait again. It’s relatively acceptable if there’s lag the same patch day, or the day after, but it has almost been a week or so and the server still have issues. Invest some of those +10 million subscribers money into some server fix. Mkkkay? Thx, bai bai.
