And if anyone is actually interested, the meters for our kill attempt:
Photobucket


Was a pretty rocky few weeks, The attempts started of in my ex guild Newbee with the group i formed, but due to sickness / DCs we never got any solid attempts on it.
Then i left them to join Noctis Erus, due to my new job which had stuffs on at night. I obviously tried to find a guild group but couldn't, so i put together a PuG to do it.

First week, did 10 bosses then people had to leave. So we agreed to return 2 days later to do it.. but 2 days later, several people didn't turn up, so it couldn't happen.

Extended lock to this week, started attempts on Wednesday. Don't think we came close.. think ppl didn't turn up or something. On Thursday, we hit 11% and wiped -_- (that's 1% btw, since it's a free kill once you hit 10% ) That was with 5 people left in phase 3 as well, for a good 10% of HP of the boss. We lasted really long, if we had got that kill, it would have been epic.
The rest of the night were just attempts that easily went to P3 but we kept wiping to spirit explosions killing people.

Friday, tried to get a group going, but once again people didn't show up. So couldn't do it. So we pushed it to today, Sunday.

Things started out rocky, with wipes on P2 due to Defile.. spread to the whole platform, etc, We never even hit the 2nd transition phase, there was one where valkyr spawn coincided with phase transition and we didn't stop dps, so people were split up and the valkyr got slowed, resulting in me (caught by it) dying to Remorseless Winter.

But on our kill attempt, everything went smoothly. No deaths , no ankhs/b-rez required. We hit p3 and unlike Thursday, P3 was a breeze. I don't know whether it was because i highlighted 2 main improvements to make
- I assigned specific positions for all 5 dps to be when vile spirits spawn, so people are spread out
- I reminded the RDPS on the need to kill spirits instead of running to spread out too early
that made it easy.. but virtually NOONE got hit by consecutive spirits, i was quite surprised.
Thursday it was like boom boom boom die .

So we got till about 11% then dunno how 2 ppl died , probably too kancheong and kena bomb by spirit. But it was a kill already.. just pushed the last 1% :D WIN.


Would love to do hardmodes with this group next week, but i'm called to join my guild's 10man. So i'll probably use my mage to do with this group, and have to kick out the lock :S
Kudos to Deathpain though, it was his first time on LK when he joined us on Thursday and he did really well. You check his achievs, he hasn't even killed sindra yet! haha. but he's a Kingslayer now.
Very good player, fast learner and good raid awareness. And well, good DPS too, but it's because he has that sick trinket (Dislodged Foreign Object). You give me that i'll pop sick DPS too.

Ok, i'm a very happy person now, maybe you ask me for favours now i'll do. haha.
BOW TO ME!!!! I'M A KINGSLAYER KTNXBAI

An incoherent abstract post.

A drop of water
When it is in the ocean, it just moves around, with all the other millions of drops of water. Wait, billions? Trillions? Googols? (that's 1 followed by a hundred zeros)

Does a drop of water ever disappear? Does its existence ever cease? However insignificant, however small, it still exists, in some form or another.

A whirlpool of thoughts.
Conflicting emotion. Wild, crazy thoughts. Think of the swirling sea, the ocean that crashes against the shore again, and again. There is no order. There is no logic. it just comes in again, and again.

At a cross junction, how do you decide which way to go? What leads your mind to go straight, turn left, or turn right? What makes it better? Do you look at which road has an end in sight? or do you choose the long winding one that may have a better destination. Or is the straight path always the best?

What is the worst form of torture in the world?

I don't know what you thought of, but to me, it would be solitary confinement.
Imagine you are kept in a small room, just big enough for you to sit, lie. The walls are smooth and blank. The door is locked shut. There is barely any light in the room, just the tiniest of slits at the bottom of the door that allows a hint of light in the room.
You are kept in there until you die.

You think it's easy? The hardest part would be to occupy your mind. The first few days may be bearable with yourself running some recent memories, some happy memories through your head. Remember, you have nothing to look forward to, so there's nothing to dream about.
Next few days you are going to be looking around the room for something to entertain yourself with. Maybe the cracks on the wall form a shape. Maybe.

As you are kept in there even more, you have studied everything you can in the room. You are dying of SHEER BOREDOM. you have thought about your lover, your family, your friends countless number of times. You start to bang on the door to ask to be let out , just for a while.

But noone ever comes.

You are left in there for life. your only form of entertainment is your imagination. Which is bound to run out, in a small , dark room.
I don't know if this scares you, but i'm scared to death of such a form of torture.


Is it that hard to find someone who cares.
Someone who will be there, always.

Why are complications there in life? To make things interesting? Too good a life is dull?

I'm tired of reasoning. Of thinking.
I'm tiring of writing this incoherent abstract post.
