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

[Zerkest]

As a warning to everyone who does NOT want to spoil the ending,

The fountain in Dalaran is completely changed (on Illidan) . I noticed a couple blood legion guys in front of it, and I clicked on the plaque, and it played the end cinematic for the lich king's fall.

Don't click it unless you want to see it!

Quite a lot on Ensidia's screenshot points to a 3 minute kill. Thought the fight would take longer than that. D:

The sack may also contain an epic gem. In our 10 man last night one person got a king's amber, ikfirus's sack of wonder and 30g along with his emblems.

You can't kill it in 3 minutes.

Good to hear! I guess they had to refresh buffs mid fight.

I wonder how they did it in 39 seconds.

If your source is so accurate why does it say that no 10 man team has downed Valithria Dreamwalker? But somehow 55 10 man teams have downed Sindragosa, without killing Valithria...hmmm. Perhaps you should look at your source before you start spreading some ridiculous rumors. Obviously there is some data missing somewhere and people should be careful about just believing whatever some log that's not in any way affiliated with Blizzard says about who killed what and when they killed it. There's no way right now to prove or disprove the findings in that log, but with the missing/incorrect data from some of the other boss logs I would certainly be a little skeptical at the very least.

it takes like 5min to get him around 55-60% (p3 and tirion still frozen)

How interesting that Boubouille wont call it a world first bc the US killed him first but I can promise you if Eu had killed him first he would be spamming all over mmo-champion: "WORLD FIRST ARTHAS KILL BY ENSIDIA" but he doesn't want to upset the people the butter his bread. Your PATHETIC Boubouille. you know Blood Legion got the world first kill you just dont want to piss off the EU servers. enough said grats to both guilds and in all of this I am still right Arthas did die in the first day of patch.

To those questioning the legitimacy of the kill:

We immediately privated our WoL parses after the kill to ensure that certain "special" parts of the fight are not spoiled. The log reveals way too much about key phases of the encounter and we'd rather guilds still had a chance to discover them on their own. The log also reveals the special ending not included in the cinematic, and we'd rather that not be spoiled as well.

We had 5 different people Fraps the fight. There was no exploit involved. The encounter is incredibly long, and we can't wait to show it to you. As a common courtesy that every First kill brings, we are holding off on releasing it until other guilds have had a chance to get 2nd and 3rd on the Lich King. The fight is incredibly epic: and we want to keep it that way as long as possible.

Best of luck to those racing to the next few kills, and the race is still on to kills in 25 man, and hardmodes shortly thereafter!

It looks extremely fun. I've watched the couple streams ont he front page yesterday and most of them couldn't get past 70% so I didn't get to see any "special part".

But as for a 10man normal encounter, how do you rate it in terms of difficulty?

[Tyelcaner]

Why is there so much EU vs US stuff?

A) It's 10 man... so it's not REALLY a first kill in YOUR eyes because people ONLY care about 25 man content. (Sorry 10 man guilds)

B) When you have to factor in Ensidia killing the Lich King faster than Blood Legion you also have to take into account raiding times etc. Ensidia MAKES all of their raiders available as soon as servers come up. It is in their application process that you must be available at any moment when they need you aka TODAY ALL DAY THEY ARE RAIDING. Blood Legion only raids 7pm to 12am central. So the whole "omg they beat it faster" discussion is just plain stupid. JUST BE HAPPY TWO TOP GUILDS WERE ABLE TO DOWN IT.

C) Will Ensidia down it 25 man faster? Probably. They are probably fighting him right now as we speak because they are NOT limited to "raid times" They raid ALL DAY when deemed necessary.

D) EU-Nazjatar FOR THE HORDE has also downed Lich King on 10 man and no one said anything? Psh. Fan Boys.

Congratulations to all 3 guilds on a well deserved kill.

Go Away.
Thats all there is to say.

Are there any tactics of video's about the first parts yet btw?

To Blood Legion all I have to say is /golfclap. Good job stealing the first 10man kill from all the 10man strict guilds out there. If you had done this in 25man or were a 10man guild this would mean something, as it stands it just makes you like a kid who beat a game useing cheat codes.

I doubt a 10man strict guild will be able to kill this.

Mad troll is MMMAAAAD!

I`m sure you`re in one of those "strict" (wth does that mean?) guilds, huh? Bet you got him close to dead, EH?

It`s the first kill of the LK in 10 man, granted it`s not heroic it doesn`t make it any different. they did what others couldn`t before the others so that makes them get credit.

That's the worst analogy for the situation I've ever seen. How can you even compare using ICC-25 gear in a 10-man format as cheating? The content was there, there are no restrictions saying "You can't use 264+ gear when difficulty is 10 man." It's fair game and they used ALL tools available. Instead of praising them, you're trying to tarnish them. Grow up.

Gratz to BL. Don't let these posers put down your accomplishment. You were the first to kill Arthas, the 10 & 25 man discussion is all BS.

[rejer13]

Sorry but killing the big man in 1 day..... This game is for newbies. wow 1.0 owns.

Oh for Christ sakes...

Oh for Christ sakes...

Its a fact. Killing +/- uber boss in 1 day. = fail.

[treston323]

Its a fact. Killing +/- uber boss in 1 day. = fail.

Yet its probably harder than any fight in 1.0

Sorry, but you fail.
