Finding Emo

Fangs of the Father

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 02:22:00 +0000

Ilsken, Savior of Azeroth, Wielder of Golad and Tiriosh, of Twilight and Nightmare, of Aspects and Ages. After a long and tedious adventure Finding Emo has finally completed the task that was placed upon her finest Rogue. With the aid of a Son of Deathwing, cleansed of the madness that haunted the Black Dragonflight, we were able to slay the last foul beasts that roamed the realm of Azeroth. As a reward of her continuous effort, our rogue was rewarded with a pair of daggers, coated with a fragment of the Madness. May that Madness strike righteousness into the hearths that stand in her way.

We also have not been sitting still after freeing the world of the Destroyer! We have finished up some last resistance in Bastion of Twilight, Throne of the Four Winds and Blackwing Descent. In Firelands we defeated Ragnaros, a fight that was neither soon or late. It was perfectly on time.

Most likely this will be the last news post until Mist of Pandaria. I can not wait to find out what lies beyond. Stay strong my fellow members.

Heroic: Madness of Deathwing down!

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 04:29:00 +0000

Deathwing is gone. Aspect of Death, the Unmaker of Worlds, the Black, the Destroyer. Known under many things. Feared for his Madness. The Shattering is where it started. Azeroth trembled under the massive hatred released out of the depths of Deepholm. The Cataclysm had started.

After months of hard work our small elite team managed to push back the allies of the Black Scourge. Destroying the Twilight Citadel, the last Experiments of Nefarian, the Windlord. We bound the Land of Fire to our will. It was time.

We finished him at the beginning.

Finding Emo, we did it, together. Thank you for an amazing expansion filled with amazing experiences. I could kill for some sushi now, maybe some noodles. Lets go get Chinese.

Heroic: Spine of Deathwing down!

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 08:18:11 +0000

It was rather funny how the soldiers jumped onto Deathwing's spine this Monday evening and just burst through all of his plates. The rogue did not see it coming. All she heard was a certain soldier blasting corruptions as if he was born to execute them.

Now we stand before Deathwing himself. We have done tries already and we will down him before we are drawn into the mist of the next expansion.

See you all on Thursday!

Heroic: Warmaster Blackhorn down!

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 07:35:34 +0000

After being blasted around on Skyfire, the team finally met up with Warmaster Blackhorn and Goriona. It did not take many attempts in the final part of the encounter before we managed to save Skyfire from Blackhorn and his drakes.

Heroic: Zon'ozz down!

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 07:22:00 +0000

First of all: apologies for the procrastinated update.

It has been quite some time since Zon'ozz was embraced in his own shadows, but there was a screenshot taken so it should be posted.

The returning whisper

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:57:04 +0000

A lot has happened during the rogue's absence.

Heroic Firelands has since long been flushed away (minus Ragnaros). All those tedious wipes on Lord Rhyolith felt like a stab in the back after the revisit to Firelands the other week for some bashing fun. His gigantic thump to the lava risen island was not as gigantic anymore. It was more like a faint thud barely notable over the sounds of laughter, accompanied by friendly teasing that escalated the further the squad progressed into the lands where the rogue once had abandoned them.

After the rogue's sidestep into honorable living, she accepted her fate and brought out the bottle. With her daggers drenched in poisons (what did you think?), she threatened the druid, forcing him to use his knowledge in rejuvenation. Together with the sturdy dwarf, she was now back in her well-known zone.

This post is not going to be only about the rogue or the past. Finding Emo lived on and welcomed Dragon Soul with the spark from Firelands, reforming new powers. The unenlightened cannot speak about that time though. The rogue speaks of current times.

So. Bosses have fallen – too many to tell a story of them all. Some of you may remember the rogue whispering stories of adventures told in an alternative fashion. Some of you may facepalm over the dramatic approach of something so mainstream in gaming sense. Either way: the schizophrenic experience is back to caress your spine.

It is a shame that the rogue never gets to tell the story of neither Morchok, Yor'sahj the Unsleeping, Ultraxion nor Hagara the Stormbinder (no group screenshots dammit – paint me pictures Kanro!). But they are most definitely a part of Finding Emo’s history.

Thanks for reading fellow emos! Let us prosper!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I'll keep this nice and short. This gnome wants to get back to getting drunk with family!

2011 has been an amazing year. We have accomplished many things, met a lot of new people and had loads of fun along the way. I am extremely happy to be part of this group and wouldn't want to imagine any other way of spending my gaming time then with you guys. I am in this guild because you guys are.

I hope you lot will have an amazing 2012. Enjoy it.

-From your friends at Finding Emo

Madness of Deathwing down!

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:42:00 +0000

After ripping apart Deathwing we thought we were done. After critting Deathwing with the Dragon Soul the fight seemed to be over. We were wrong. We were very, very wrong.

After an amazing week of raiding we finally downed Deathwing. We organized an extra raid this week just to down the last boss of Cataclym. The whole evening it took to finish the job. Every wipe we improved our game. Everything was polished. However, it took our infamous Last Try of the Evening to boost our morale and made us kill Deathwing.

Thank you guys for an amazing reset! Onto heroic modes :D

Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:07:00 +0000

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a group of good friends were sitting around a campfire. It had been a hot day but the evening embraced the humanoids with a warm embrace; the only purpose the campfire had was to shed a little bit of a light. The little light that the campfire provided was more then enough for the group to enjoy their drinks and enjoy their stories. Stories of battles and victories, losses and defeat. Everyone was relaxed, except for the casters of the group. They had felt a distortion in their Magic. The distortion came not from what had happened but it came from that which still had to come. The magic users sought isolation from the group to speak. Quickly they understood what the distortion meant. Soon the Lands of Fire would open up and would spread its rage over Azeroth.

Boys and girls, ladies and gentleman, I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have not only granted me the honor to collect the legendary staff for you, but you have also granted me an amazing half year of Firelands raiding. The road has been extremely rough, we had people leave and we had people join. Our officers team has changed, our raiders have changed and our socials have changed. Thanks to those that have been with us for so long and thanks to those that have been us for only a little while. Thanks to those that cared.

The Destroyer, Aspect of Death, The Worldbreaker. We will challenge him. We are ready for him. Will you, my friends, join me once more?

Heroic: Beth'ilac down!

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:13:00 +0000

We punctured deep into Firelands, killed 4 lieutenants of the Firelord but every-time we went inside ,after having healed our wounded and buried our fallen, we ran into trouble because of a plague spreading around in Firelands. Every-time we entered, the place would crawl with spiders and it was time for us to find the source of this pest.

Having fought through dozens of large spiders, we finally found what has been causing us so much trouble. One of the biggest spiders you can imagine, sitting on her web, waiting for us. We expected the worst and we got what we feared in our sleep. Spiders, everywhere, crawling, biting, spiting, exploding. Even for our hardened warriors this was almost too much.

After having divided our team into multiple groups, all fighting their own wars, we finally got to the point where Beth'ilac had no more tricks up her sleeve. She crawled down from her massive web where she unleashed a terrible heat upon us. She had became so enraged that slowly people started to fall left and right. I was sure we were gonna die. But just a second before she could make the killing blow our heroes landed the final strike. The giant spider fell down before us, death and lifeless. During the night, while her body was cooling down, our heroes celebrated our victory. We were celebrating like it would be the last time. Maybe it will be. Ragnaros is waiting.

Heroic: Alysrazor down!

Heroic: Majordomo Staghelm down!

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 22:59:00 +0000

Speaker, taking charge in the name of Ragnaros, leader of household Firelands has been lain to rest. Slipping past the gatekeeper, it took us only few moments to find out the secret to Staghelms demise. Hopefully the confusion we created after downing an officer so deep into Firelands will bring us early victory over those that are left behind. Ragnaros should feel our presence. We are coming.

Amazing kill, well done. Also, Ilsken, please come back. I suck at this.

Heroic: Lord Rhyolith down!

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 09:44:00 +0000

Soldiers in doubt; the glory of Lord Rhyolith collapsing to the ground seemed unobtainable. Something had to be awfully wrong with this prolonged pain. After constant reformations and reassignments, the team found themselves in a chaos of inconsistency. Never before in this rogue’s history in the army of Finding Emo has the performance been this flickering.

That was until they last night found the spark of hope as they edged closer to his defeat. Soldiers were growing weary and a holy soldier, defeated by his hiccup connection, had had enough. At his resignation, he muttered, "Kill that fat fuck.”

Yet another reformation, but we could already taste sweet victory on our lips. Not many encounters later, we were once again facing his molten self. He became the fat fuck that was killed.

Well deserved downing, fellow emos!

Heroic: Shannox down!

Ragnaros down!

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 12:39:00 +0000

Some of us have acquainted with him before in previous battles. Ragnaros, the lord of all fire elementals, embraced the lair with his smoldering presence. Not wanting him to burn down the big old tree, Nordrassil, we held each other’s hands before engaging what would be one of the most epic happenings.

Splitting up all over his court, we dodged one lethal attack after another. He hurled his hammer to the ground, causing lava waves to push back anything in its path. He set out traps, forcing us to make them blow up in our faces. He pushed us back with his force, but we kept on recovering. Reaching his patience’s first limit, he swung his hammer to the ground as if it was a statement, letting his sons act as unstoppable missiles. Once they were cleared from the playground after distinct management, we were back to handling Ragnaros’ wrath.

It was time for a change of plan. Instead of letting us go kamikaze mode on traps and blasting us, he engulfed the floors of his court in flames and planted seeds in our soldiers. Seeds, which were obviously for summoning even more minions of his kind. We formed a tight formation, still watching out for his hammer and fiery floors, making it easy to infiltrate all molten infernos. Soon enough, we had tested Ragnaros’ patience yet again; his hummer swung to the floor and we reunited with his sons, this time accompanied by scions. Some of us were held back by blazing heat, forcing us to attentiveness. Dragging out the play by letting one of his sons live for a little bit longer, we managed to buy a bit of time for Ragnaros’ last attempt in culling us out.

Keeping to his precious hammer, Ragnaros still occasionally slammed it at our direction. And what is culling, really, without burning floors? On top of that, meteors spawned, rolling after their chosen target at an increasing pace. Ping-ponging these back and forth caused chaos. Not until half of the squad had fallen to the ground did we manage to gain back control. The final few that were left performed their tasks carefully, even if it meant only getting to strike Ragnaros every now and then in-between kiting the huge meteors. Very slowly, but steadily, he sunk into the depths of his lava pit.

This, was a very stoked moment for Finding Emo, thus opening the doors to heroic content. New challenges await us in the depths of the smoldering Firelands; this was only the beginning.

Majordomo Staghelm down!

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:05:00 +0000

At the gates leading to Ragnaros’ whereabouts, stood Majordomo Staghelm, a very manipulative man. Whatever we did was used against us.

When we stood tall together, we were scythed down by his scorpion claw as punishment. When we stood alone, we were charged at individually by his sudden change of form to a feline. We took the blows and recovered.

Angered by our endurance, he tried tricking us into separating by planting seeds; he summoned orbs whose suffering needed to be shared in order to be bearable. Being consistent and patient, we ended his wicked dress-up game.

The gate to Ragnaros was now unguarded.

Alysrazor down!

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 13:58:52 +0000

Venturing further into Firelands we visited Alysrazor, a beautiful hostess of an extraordinary circus show.

Soldiers were raised to the sky to fly through hoops in the air, soaring over soldiers dancing with hatchlings on the ground, while others were dealing with party crashers. Worms arose from their mounds and blew fire in their path, until they were eventually fed to the starving hatchlings.

The show had lasted for a good three minutes when we were finally thrown into our next challenge: avoiding fiery tornadoes swirling all over the place. After a few seconds of heated chase after tornadoes, Alysrazor was stunned to the ground. The soldiers thrusted their swords and daggers, chopped with their axes and waved with their wands in order to burst her down as much as possible, before she awakened from her short period of paralyzation. She arose from the ground to nitpick for a moment, before going on with the show.

We reached chaos. A party crasher dealer was down, making them gain advantage. The circus was falling apart along with its participants and audience. That was until Alysrazor made a final dive across the stage, just to collapse to the ground.

Fin.

Baleroc down!

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 13:08:00 +0000

It was time to face Baleroc, the Gatekeeper.

After a few practice attempts, we reformed a part of the team, cutting it down to one tank and extending it to a third healer. Sorting the soakers in neat piles simplified the mechanics of stacking from a position point of view. The execution was close to flawless.

With the tank’s health pool constantly increasing in symbios with Baleroc’s attacks, the healers were thrown into healing ping-pong heaven.

Consistency led us to a one-shot. Fabulous execution, people!

Lord Rhyolith down!

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 08:50:45 +0000

After climbing a hill with fire falling from the sky, we reached Lord Rhyolith, standing tall on his platform risen from the lava.

Alternating between his right and left leg, we forced his path towards his erupting volcanoes, bursting their way out of the ground like a flower through asphalt. In the meantime, his minions were dealt with by our ranged squad.

As his armor was slowly weakening for every crushed volcano, he finally exploded out of his shell, revealing his molten self. Like butter in the sun, he melted right before our eyes. After too many being sacrificed in the paths of fire in earlier attempts, we made it to the final stage to secure him getting past those annoying 2 %.

Thank you everyone for last night!
