Hellfire Club

Mags & VR Dead

“Say la vee, TBC.”

Less than a week before Wrath of the Lich King comes out, and HFC goes to town (oneshot) on our first T5 boss, Void Reaver. Along the way, we also revisited HKM and Gruul, and made our first kill on Magtheridon as well.

Zul’Amen

Friday, October 17th, 2008… Hellfire Club squashed ZA. Both Malacrass and Zul’Jin dead.

Congratulations to all those involved, and a mighty thanks to Blizzard for the 3.0.2 patch. =]

Salutations Naxx!

Vaharneim — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 08:27:58 +0000

Since this upcoming Tuesday patch-day is the big 3.0.2 pre-Wrath patch, and since that means that the current Naxxramas is going away forever, Hellfire Club decided to go in and say, “Hi!” With a group of up-to 21 people, including 4 tanks, 4 healers, 2 lower level DPS (61 mage Thewhiteboy, and 67 warlock Aileanora), and 11 other T4+ DPSers, we entered and went directly for the Spider Wing upon advice that our initial plan of heading to Patchwerk was probably a real bad idea…

After 5 wipes on Anub’rekhan, mostly due to MT casualties during the Locust kite transition, we decided to continue the fun exploration by heading to the Abomination Wing anyway. We found lots of slimes, gutters of slime, and even had some Leeroy action by our very own GM. After 2 attempts, Patchwerk was dead. Nice and simple. Congratulations to Thewhiteboy on the first (and only) T3 in HFC: [Frostfire Shoulderpads] (once he finishes making them, that is). Also congratulations to Travysh on the [Band of Reanimation] and to Necromage on the [Splinter of Atiesh].

Then we made a couple of attempts on Grobbulus before calling it a night. All in all, a very enjoyable evening, with lots of silliness, chaos, and banter — plus, just a little education for things to come when we face the 10-man (and maybe even 25-man) version in Wrath of the Lich King.

High Tinker Mekkatorque… DEAD!

Gorysh — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 08:15:59 +0000

So yeah… HFC strolled into Ironforge and spanked the crap outta High Tinker Mekkatorque, even with lots of annoying Alliance trying to stop us. Kudos to you, Hellfire Club!

Gruul Ain’t Killin’ Dragons No More

Vaharneim — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 08:09:14 +0000

Gruul the Dragonkiller has been slain. Tonight’s venture into Gruul’s Lair was the shortest ever, with a grand total of 7 boss-fights. It took us less time to kill Gruul than HKM & crew. After which, we celebrated by utterly decimating Darkshire, Stormwind, The Deeprun Tram, and killing the Gnome King in Ironforge. Maybe I exaggerate a bit…

Good work everyone!

Crazy Close Arathi Basin

Gorysh — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 07:54:55 +0000

So there I was a few days ago, in AB to finish up the daily, and it was like… I dunno, like my 4th or 5th Arathi Basin attempt of the night. But this one felt right. It felt like a winner. We had 3-4 capped the whole battleground for the first 15-20 minutes of the match, and then all hell broke loose. People got complacent, fought in the road, left their defense positions, and we were down to 1 flag for about 10 minutes… just long enough for the Alliance to catch up.

In the last minute of the match we were literally neck-and-neck, when all of a sudden we cap a second flag which slows down the Allies. I swear, if the score was to 2100 instead of 2000 we probably would have lost, but as luck would have it we literally inched out a win by the seat of our pants, 2000 Horde to 1990 Alliance!

ZA: Akil’zon & Halazzi Dead

Vaharneim — Sat, 10 May 2008 08:00:57 +0000

Three attempts to kill Akil’zon, the eagle-aspect boss of ZA. Five attempts to kill Halazzi, the lynx-aspect boss. That’s two new bosses downed in the same night.

Thank’s Arnithall!

Way to go HFC!

Nalorakk: [Fury] - Skykomish
Akil’zon: [Signet of Ancient Magics] - Sanice
Halazzi: [Avalanche Leggings] - Ungulataur

High King Maulgar dethroned!

Vaharneim — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:23:27 +0000

Our first night in a 25-man raid, one of Outland’s finest, Gruul’s Lair, was a chaotic success. After a mere 12 attempts (the majority of which were 22-23 people), High King Maulgar was downed.

Congratulations to Gaydavor, Gryphoneli, and Gannar (the 3-G Conspiracy) on the HFC-first Tier-4 Shoulders! Congratulations also goes to Wayangkulit on the [Brute Cloak of the Ogre-Magi]!

Then we faced off against Gruul for 2 attempts, bringing him down ultimately to 64%, both on awkward pulls.

It was a well fought night and everyone did spectacularly. Way to go Hellfire Club!

200 Characters!!

Vaharneim — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 18:09:53 +0000

Congratulations to Pilato, upon being the 200th character in Hellfire Club!

We now have 200 Characters and 75 Accounts. My how our little family has grown.

Nalorakk defeated!

Bomosnipah — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 22:25:09 +0000

HFC has killed the first boss in Zul’Aman!

It was an exciting, epic boss fight.

The loot: Formula: Enchant Weapon - Executioner went to Necromage, and Pauldrons of Primal Fury went to Bomosnipah.

The first of many, different successful ZA crews: Skykomish, Timmie, Paed, Turason, Paineyota, Necromage, Bomosnipah, Sanice, Scour, and Arnithall. Zul’Aman looks to be a very fun and challenging raid instance for us as a guild, as we begin to move beyond Karazhan. We’re far from focusing on ZA, but we’ve got a taste and made a dent. I hope to see all of you in there soon.

Check the scheduler in the next few days for next week’s Karazhan sign ups.
