2010-06-22 Sindragosa down the hard way (10-man)
We are now very close to completing all the 10-man content in Icecrown Citadel. Tonight the 10-man team managed to beat the heroic version of the Sindragosa encounter. Well done!
2010-06-13 Finally some progress again!
After a loooong time of no new kills we're very proud to announce that Sindragosa finally has been slain in 25-man mode. This time it all felt so easy and we were all wondering why the hell we hadn't done it earlier...
2010-06-09 Gunship Battle heroic lol-mode!
A few of our raiders are lucky enough to recently have killed the Lich King in normal 25-man raids, and that opens up for some heroic attempts on our normal ICC-25 normal runs. This week we started off with the Gunship Battle in heroic mode. The fight is still laughably easy and well worth the nickname Lootship Battle.
2010-05-21 Valithria Dreamwalker - heroic mode (10-man)
The JSA 10-man team success story continues. Tonight they managed to save Valithria Dreamwalker. Keep going, the Lich King is close now!
2010-05-20 The Blood Princes and their Queen died a heroic death (10-man)
The JSA 10-man team were really successful tonight. Not only did they kill the Blood Princes but they also managed to kill the Blood Queen herself. Well done!
2010-05-11 Deathbringer Saurfang - Heroic kill (10-man)
After a lot of trouble with the heroic version of Saurfang we finally beat him tonight! A great achievement for the raiders who were present. Well done guys!
2010-04-20 More heroic mode kills! (10-man)
Tonight the 10-man hard mode runs continued and new bosses were killed. This time Festergut and Rotface went down. Saurfang still proved to hard, but was taken down to around 5% on more than one attempt.
2010-04-18 Sindragos is close now! (25-man)
We had a really really awesome raid tonight with plenty of one-shotted bosses and some very nice attempts at Sindragosa. We got the pesky dragon down to about 8% in our best try, with time to spare. We are very confident that she will go down soon...
2010-04-17 The first heroic mode kills! (10-man)
We managed to get the first three heroic mode kills tonight. Unfortunately Saurfang proved to be quite a challenge, but we expect him to go down with some minor adjustments to tactics
2010-04-14 The Blood Queen down JSA style! (25-man)
During tonights raid we set a goal to reach the Blood Queen on a record time and then dedicate the rest of the evening to focused attempts at killing her. We did reach her really fast and immediately got caught in a mix of lag, stupid mistakes and incorrectly timed bites. We did improve throughout the evening and ended in a classic "one last try" kill - a true JSA trademark!
2010-04-09 This is epic! The end of a long journey has been reached! (10-man)
"It's begun.
Young heroes...I was once like you. You have come to this place seeking to bring judgement upon the damned. You will venture deep into forgotten lands. You will see wonders beyond imagining. But be warned. The land itself will rise up against you. Long forgotten terrors will smother your courage. Sacrifice everything as the final darkness falls...in the end, all that awaits you is death. Only then will you understand - you've been following in my footsteps all along.
So come then, you heroes! Come in all your power and glory! For in the final hour, all must serve the one... true... king." - The Lich King
After a long and arduous journey through Icecrown Citadel, with many nights of epic battle against everything the Lich King sent forth to stop us our raiders are finally able to say:
It has ended. For in the final hour, in our final attempt of the evening, we did not give in, we did not bow down, instead we killed the one... true... Lich King! - Jadestone Alliance
2010-03-24 The nutty professor is finally dead! (25-man)
After a couple of raids grinding away on Professor Putricide we finally got him down on our first attempt. We actually one shotted everything we attempted to kill tonight, except for some really good attempts on the Blood Queen herself. Things are looking really good at the moment!
2010-03-10 We're on the move again!
After a lot of grinding of the first couple of ICC bosses we are finally seeing some real progression. Last weeks Blood Prince Council kill was nice and tonight we followed it up with a "kill" of Valithria Dreamwalker. We also got very close to downing the Professor. Expect to see a kill there real soon (Sunday anyone?)
2010-03-03 Blood Prince Council killed (25-man)
During tonights raid we changed target from Professor Putricide to the Blood Prince Council. This proved to be a good choice since we finally got to see some 25-man progression again! We also gave Valithria a shot and started to get a hang of the fight in 25-man as well.
2010-03-02 Sindragosa dead! Lich King here we come! (10-man)
One of our 10-man teams managed to kill Sindragosa yesterday (and the other team got her to 11%). This means that the path to the Lich King is open and we hope to have a kill to show for it soon. Well done!
2010-02-06 Another nice progression kill?! Are we dreaming? No, Valithria is! (10-man)
Our dedicated 10-man raiders are pushing on through the Icecrown Citadel content with great success! Tonight they fought the captors of Valithria Dreamwalker and they sure put up a fight. The raid lasted well past bedtime, but in the end both the raiders and the Dreamwalker got a good nights sleep. Well done!
2010-02-03 The final wing of Icecrown Citadel ha opened - and some Saurfang weirdness+Toravon kill (25-man)!
Yesterday we did a ICC-25 run, starting from scratch. Everything went like a breeze until we reached Saurfang. He gained Blood Power at a never before seen rate, and at first we thought we were sloppy and didn't spread out properly. After a while we suspected that the encounter was bugged, and when checking the official forums it seemed like a lot of guilds had the same problem. Despite this we pushed on and managed to kill Saurfang in this semi-hardmode encounter. Once Saurfang was downed we left ICC and saved the other wings for another evening and moved on to Vault of Archavon to kill the new PvP boss, Toravon the Icewatcher.
2010-01-31 Rotface has been left to rot - watch out Putricide! (25-man)
We had a bad streak of 25-man progression raids after killing Festergut which meant that we had to leave Rotface around way too long. Tonight we finally got a chance at killing him, and we sure seized the opportunity and down he went!
2010-01-25 Blood-Queen Lana'thel down - release the next wing now (10-man)!
We are now proud to announce that we've managed to clear all available wings of Icecrown Citadel. After a couple of tries this evening the Blood-Queen Lana'thel was killed and we are now eagerly waiting for the next wing to open.
2010-01-23 A tribute to insanity (10-man)
Today we had a 10-man crew in Trial of the Grand Crusader complete the A Tribute to Insanity achievement. This means a full clear with no wipes. Well done! And here's Gildorr showing off his brand new mount:
2010-01-22 Professor Putricide and The Blood Princes down (10-man)!
Our 10-man runs are currently very successful with new kills coming in almost every time a new boss is attempted. This time both the Blood Princes and Professor Putricide were downed!
2010-01-22 A long and exciting journey has now come to an end - Algalon is dead (10-man)!
We've had a 10-man team doing Ulduar hard modes from time to time to get a change of scenery and to mop-up things left undone. Algalon is one of the ultimate mop-ups, and we are now proud to announce that Algalon is finally dead! Sure, we got some help from some TotC and ICC gear, but the fight is still challenging due to it's mechanics and the limited time per week. Well done 10-man crew!
2010-01-10 Festergut down (25-man)!
With the new wing of Icecrown open we expect to see some 25-man kills. Festergut is the first. Well done!
2010-01-08 Festergut and Rotface down (10-man)!
Yet again our brave 10-man crews rush in to Icecrown Citadel to get scalps of the rotten things inside. This time they came out with fresh kills of both Festergut and Rotface!
2010-01-03 Saurfang - the first kill of the decade (25-man)!
Now that the holidays are finally(!) over we can get some solid runs going again. Marrowgar, Deathwhisper and the Gunship go down as easy as Goldshire Murlocs, but Saurfang still proves to be a bit of a challenge. Nothing too much though, as we managed to get him down with some refined tactics, nice kiting and top DPS. Well done everyone attending the kill and grats to the new T10 tokens!
