Brute Force

Just a front page update, Brute Force is happily still fighting the forces of Arthas in ICC, but our fighting force has been thinned due to the old enemy real life (stay tuned for some more rounds of recruitment in the near future)

Also with the new buff that Blizzard has given us, has kicked of a lively debate over using it and moving forward (but secretly feeling dirty, just like when you laugh at an unfortunate person falling over or something) or not to use it and hold our heads up and say we can do this without the buff ( and have a fat extra repair bills and lost consumables to show for it)

I would put a picture up for you to see, but unfortunatley i cant find any relevent pictures to show you as Teth hides them and guards them with a big stick like a jealous hobbit guarding cake!

Mmmm cake!!

As usual its been a long time since we last had an update. Ulduar is a joke it didn't really seem worth posting kills. We have killed everything up to Yogg we've attempted a few hard modes (we're up to 3 towers on Leviathan. Yey!) and we've done a fair bit of wiping on Yogg. Thats an interesting difficulty curve it has there

The Twins and Anub'Arak proved to be a brilliant end to an instance I was starting to feel quite worried about. ToC felt like filler in an anime written by somone who doesn't really care about the story emplyed to fill some time while the managa gets ahead again. However the twins and Anub'Arak really brought the instance to life twins have a great mechanic, stolen straight from Ikaruga of course but immitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say. Meanwhile Anub'Arak was a surprising twist to the end of the stand in arena wait to get owned formula of ToC. The frozen An'Quirage I never knew I wanted till I fell into it.

Mandatory killshot of end of ToC!

So its like more than a week since our last news update and things have moved on in Hordeland vs Ulduar (Timestamps mean nothing. Its written on the internet so it must be true etc.)

We've been back and tidied up our missng bosses everywhere and can proudly announce tiers 1 and 2 are complete and we are working on Tier 3. Hodir might already be dead but this is the internet and no one has written that yet. So without further nonsense from me there will be killshots and loot. A highlight of this tier was Auriaya who was quite brilliant a truly make or break pull followed by some mechanics that really challenged our healers for once..... we killed it and the next day they nerfed it into oblivion. R.I.P. Crazy cat lady.
