Been busy…
Portent Alliance has what we call “The Wrath Curse.” For every raid tier in the Wrath expansion, we swore the Lich King was manipulating our real lives to keep us from killing the end boss. This can come in the form of failed hardware, network outages, real life priorities (death in the family), sickness…you name it. SOMETHING would happen so we go for weeks in between attempts on the end boss.
The Wrath Curse has continued in Cata. But sooner or later we eventually overcome whatever is plaguing us and take out that final boss.
On Tuesday, March 8, Portent Alliance became the #3 guild on the server, and #2 guild Horde-side, for progression by finally downing Nefarian. Now I admit, Sentinels isn’t exactly the quickest at server progression and achieving world firsts, but I love the community. I’m not in a huge rush to the “World First” or even “US First” progression, but it feels good to make this accomplishment on our server.
BAM!
On top of finally getting Nefarian down, we also unlocked the Dark Phoenix mount. We were server first to have both the Dark Phoenix AND the Dark Phoenix Hatchling mini-pet!
Shadowbudgies!
Now we’re back to a rotation-system to gear people up. The next tier of raid content won’t be in 4.1, but that’s okay. We’ll probably begin working on hard modes soon. After that? FIRELANDS!
