Lich King US First 10-Man Kill, Icecrown Citadel Weeklies

[walexia]

Some EU guild will more than likely kill it tonight and then you and the other QQers will post that it isn't hard and is a disappointing ending to the expansion.

Look at it this way. It took a top 25 man guild in the world to kill him in 10 man by drastically over gearing the encounter. Even the people who killed him said they don't see how it would be possible for a strictly 10 man guild. 10 man is just as much an achievement for 10 man strict guilds as 25 man is for 25 man strict guilds. The difficulty difference is overstated at best. One guild in the US managed to down him the first day. Sounds like an achievement on any setting.

indeed i am a bit worried about this point, it's true that for strictly ten man guilds 10 man icc is a big challenge.My guild hasnt been having alot of luck in 25 mans so has been focusing alot on 10 mans.Only one of our groups has succesfully beaten putricide and we have yet to try the blood wing of icc.

also 25 man heroic gear is amazing , but 10 man heroic gear from toc seems lacklustre, we can beat togc heroic easy without a sweat but that fact alone doesnt make it any easier on us in beating 10 man icc even on normal.

Just a few things on the bag from the weekly quest reward. We got the lady death quest last night, and rooted him in the back of the room the whole nite. Each of us got the bag (10 m), 3 got epic gems. The gold also seems to be a range, i got 10g, others got 25g, others got like 17g, 22g, etc. Seems to be a range of gold, not just a static 25g.

So just wanted to add, chance at epic gems, and gold ranges.

I think Con put it best!

I will have to agree, because i am in a 10m strict guild my self and some of the enconters are pretty tough. And this is mainly due to our gear being mainly 10 man gear and ICC vendor stuff.

So yeah, best of luck to other 10m strict guilds!

Totally agree, i'm in a strict 10 man (we had issues just doing ToGC 10, we were able to as a guild do first 2, nothing beyond. I've been able to pug it since IC came out up to Anub, so out gearing it makes it easier) and some of these encounters with strictly 10 man gear seems much more challenging, than when I've gone on my alt with guys in a 25 man raiding guild.

(Not sure if linked my armory on this forum, but if i did shadows edge, i had to pay a 25 guild for the 2 quest items, and voa 25 dropped my pants last night.)

Grats to them, Anyone got Shadowmourne yet?

[Frozenbeef]

Grz, if you said world first eu would have torn your head off

[Gwaeni]

No ones going to have it for a while. 50 shards after Sindragosa kill.

[Noxmortis]

EU first already ensidia, their account of the fight seemed as if they walked all over Arthus. damn took BL a long time in comparison. but good job to both!

You're kidding right?
50 shards that only drops from 25-man bosses. And on normal difficulty, it's not even 100% drop chance. Only heroic ICC25 got 100% drop chance for 1 shard per boss.

So yea, you won't see one in at least ~4-5 weeks, and not many more in 6-8 weeks.

25-50% from 25 man normal bosses
51-99% from 25 man Heroic Bosses
nothing from 10 man at all.

I'm not sure if it's because Ensidia already got to see the encounter or not, but damn. They did it in like 2½ hours or less.

AND everybody think this game is hard....

LOL?.. Hardest boss of the expension already dead.

Blizzard, you epic fail.

Grats on beating the final boss of the easiest mmorpg.

Oh wait, it's only normal mode... AND? Still too easy.

So 2 of the world's best guilds beat 10-man normal mode in almost full 25-man ICC gear.
Let me see your guild do it, if you think it's so damn easy.

[Exelius]

Bosses than 500 guilds kill on the day of release is very srz bznss.

In other words, nobody would actually care. Give a real boss to fight, then EU will care about it.

For now, we will leave you US guys to be proud of this wonderful accomplishment

Not all of us can pull welfare checks and play WoW all day

I bet the Gunship battle is hard for you huh?

[tobokke]

So the patch gets deployed and 1 day after the last boss of an entire expansion is torn apart. If it wasn't for the content gating, the Lich King would be dead 3 days after release...

[Ylera]

Ensidia just killed it on 10 man.

[Rafy]

They got up to him because they probably continued there run from last week..... But all in all Congratz to them!

that's totally not true...
we cleared 10/12 in 25 man tonight in only 3 hours, and 11/12 in 10 man.
why would you waste frost emblems?

[Bjarne]

Why is Arthas and Tirion so FUCKING HUGE!? They're just humans..

[Rafy]

I really like the addition of these weekly quests for raiders, but unless the extras a side from the 5 badges are fairly giving, it's quite shit, when you can pug the non ICC weekly and get 5 frosts for a lolboss.

you get the quest after defeating Valithria.
any decent guild should be able to down Valithria, and besides the 5 emblems, 25g and a BOE, the bag can contain an epic gem, or a 24 slot bag.

In 4 weeks people will pug it...

I never seen Naxx40 and I was in one of the good guild on my server.

I never killed Kil'jaeden and I was in one of the good guild on my server.

Now we clear everything in a month.

But IT'S REALLY HARDER NOW...
