September 2nd, 2006 – Roster Updated!

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After revamping our strategies and perfecting Phase 1, the phase 1-2 transition, and reacting to the class calls, Mafia has managed to reach Phase 3 for Nefarian. Unfortunately even with 30+ up before the spawn, we had only 3 AE classes up, dooming our superb attempt up to that point. 30+ people were wiped out within seconds. Even worse, our instance bugged on us not letting us restart the encounter. Even with the bad luck, we’re confident that Nefarian will be slain within this week. We’ve mastered Phase 1 and the transition to the point where we have 39-40 people up for phase 2 every time. Expect to see a kill shot within the week!
After starting off the night on a great note by taming Chromaggus in only one attempt, Mafia finds itself facing Nefarian again. On our 2nd series of attempts ever on Nefarian, Mafia managed to push Nefarian to Stage 2 of the encounter. We’re all quite proud of our progress with the encounter in such a short amount of time. We feel as if we’ve almost mastered Stage 1 of the encounter and hope to see him slain once everyone comes back from winter vacation. The Mafia Family wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and Happy Kwanza!
After 4 execute range wipes, a 3% wipe, and a profanity-laced tirade on vent by yours truly, Mafia pulled itself together and took down Chromaggus. This fight is ridiculously complex, hard, yet also satisfying. I don’t think we’ve experience a fight where the majority of the classes have roles so important that if one or two screw up on their responsibilities, it’d result in a wipe. After working on the hound for 2 days, all of us were relieved in finally taming him.
Afterwards, we made our visit with Nefarion and took some screenshots like tourists. We took a few stabs at Nefarion and managed to take down roughly 30 out of the 42 mobs required to enter Phase 2. Not bad only after 3 total attempts. We left BWL and went over to slay Onyxia, letting Nefarion know what’s coming to him in the next week. Expect to see dual heads hanging from Ogrimmar soon!

After a 30% wipe with a 30 man raid (15 were asleep at the keyboard) on Sunday, Mafia’s been itching to get back to Flamegor for some real attempts at the fiesty drake. After Norrec pulled a Nutjob and a few pulling miscues, Mafia pulled the “Tank and Spank” technique to put Flamegor down. The fight can be described as tougher Magmadar, but it wasn’t too difficult compared to Firemaw. Mafia’s been on quite a roll with 3 raid bosses down within 4 days.
Chromaggus is next!

On the 3rd attempt, Mafia brings down Firemaw in one of the most coordinated encounters we’ve faced. After a few hiccups and false starts, all classes executed the strategy flawlessly, bringing down the toughest of the 3 drakes.
On a high from taking down the one of the hardest bosses in BWL, we proceeded to tackle Ebonroc. Ebonroc proved to weak to a pumped up Mafia raid and fell on only our 3rd attempt ever on him. The fight isn’t too technically difficult. What it lacks in tecnical difficulty, it makes up for it in length. We did enough damage to kill him 5 times over and then some.

Feeling lost and misguided, I, Ranker, decided to explore our vast continent in search of a higher purpose. Finding myself in Silithus I befriended a group of highly charismatic individuals. Communication was difficult at first but with persistence and an open mind, I learned more about their community and values. The more I learned, the more I felt a sense of “coming home”. I was at peace for once. Full of enthusiam and renewed vigor, I returned to my fellow Mafia members spreading the word that was passed on to me. Mafia had found its true calling. In order to prove ourselves worthy, we were instructed to make a pilgrimage to Ironforge. Our life mission to spread the word and convert as many followers to our faith.
And here below, we chronicled our adventures as new members of the Twilight Cultists!
After a week of less than stellar raid results, we pulled ourselves together and took out Broodlord on our 3rd attempt (after a 16% wipe and a 10% wipe). Who says 3k blastwaves and 8k Mortal Strikes were hard to deal with? Or the squirrely, which-caster-do-I-one-shot aggro? However, I think the best achievement of the night is getting from through the suppression room in about 20 minutes on average. It’s not so bad anymore.
Firemaw is next on the Mafia’s hit list! Grats to
Cornelius has editted together a superb video of Mafia’s Molten Core progression from March until August of this past year. It documents the our triumphs and our evolution as an unrecognized raiding guild into one of Frostwolf’s premiere Horde raiding guilds. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as all our members do.
After a 3% wipe, a 2% wipe, and TWO heart breaking 1% wipes, Mafia takes out Vaelz on our 8th attempt for the night. After 2 straight weeks of hard work, refining strategy, and 2% wipes, we finally succeeded in overcoming the 2nd most difficult encounter in BWL. I feel as if this was one of our most exciting guild accomplishments to date. Can we be perfect ? For 2 minutes and 45 seconds, we were perfect!

We have finally launched the new site. The site design was done by Adam Betts a.k.a Undeadbetts and the backend coding was done by Pramod a.k.a Zanzariosis. Please bear with us while the new site slowly takes shape. We are aware that some of the links do not work and are working hard to fix these issues and add each module as we progress. |
