About
The following are synopses and updates from the raiding history of IXOYE - sometimes silly, sometimes serious.
2020, Dec 19th: Day 2, Castle Nathria with IXOYE!
We were able to get The Sun King down tonight, as well as Lady Inerva Darkvein, and made significant progress on The Council of Blood! We got Klaus and Frieda both down, but failed to get down Stravos. Still, the progress we made was top notch and hats off to all the hard work of the guildies pushing this week. It was amazing, and great teamwork! If you're interested in the raid logs or stream of the event, that is below.

2020, Dec 19th: Day 1, Castle Nathria with IXOYE!
We were able to down four bosses last night! We did Shriekwing, Huntsman Altimor, Hungering Destroyer and Artificer Xy'mox. We did two attempts on the Sun King, and got much farther than I expected, about 50% of the fight. It is very chaotic and the fight didn't make any sense to me after watching the guide video. Great job IXOYE! We are getting better and better. I was very impressed with the progress over last week.

2020, Dec 13th: Day 2, Castle Nathria with IXOYE!
On this night, we totally obliterated the second boss Huntsman Altimor in the very first pull. We then moved on to the Hungering Destroyer! We killed him on the sixth attempt! That was super exciting. We then did three attempts on Artificer Xy'mox before the end of raid. The last pull was nearly a kill - just couldn't quite get it because too many dps had died. If you want to see what the night looked like, check out my stream of the raid in the video below. Additionally, the raid logs for the night and WoW Analyzer's suggestions of what we can improve are listed in the links below.

2020, Dec 12th: Day 1, First time in Castle Nathria!
The guide for the first boss Shriekwing is HERE. We did Normal Castle Nathria with IXOYE and friends from Primal Might! We had a bit of trouble with him, but got him down after six wipes with almost everyone but like five people dead. We covered the floor in blood (no we aren't all murderers - it's a mechanic Shriekwing does. See the guide.) I had trouble avoiding the echolocation orbs on my mage. We made progress on the next boss, Huntsman Altimor, but failed to kill him. People kept breaking the cc on the Shade of Barghast. If you want to see the stream for this event, and what the night was like, it can be found below this text on my streaming YT channel. The raid logs for the night and WoW Analyzer (showing a guide for each of us on what we can improve in our performance) are listed in the links below.

2019, Feb 23rd: IXOYE's (N) BoD
Jess's Raid Notes: We had a bunch of new people in the raid today, and even though we were also down a few people, we had nearly 20 people in the raid! This is SO EXCITING!! And, not to mention, Danny is back! And Chris is back! FUN TIMES!! The group downed Opulence and got some pulls in on Conclave. Chris is making videos of the raid - here is his first, in the link HERE showing the fight on Grong!
2019, Feb 20th: Primal Might's (N) BoD, Kill of Jaina
Jess's Raid Notes: Primal Might downed Jaina tonight and killed the first three bosses of heroic BoD as well, all in one night! Congrats guys!
2019, Feb 17th: IXOYE's (N) BoD
Jess's Raid Notes: Tonight the group two-shot the Conclave of the Chosen and worked on Rastakhan a whole hour, getting him down to 64%! Way to go guys!!
2019, Feb 16th: IXOYE's (N) BoD
Jess's Raid Notes: Tonight, we took a few new people with us and killed the first three bosses, which was exciting! Jarred continued the tradition of someone falling in the water and dying. Jarred also tried tanking this round! Jarred's dogs kept fighting and one peed on the floor during the raid. We lost him as a tank due to his dog chewing his laptop cord. Yup, this night was all about Jarred. lol We wiped on Grong once when someone accidentally pulled mobs through the barricade behind Grong - we had no idea that could happen! After Grong was dead and Jarred had to go, Shea gave away four presents in honor of Valentine's Day. Then, we all decided we'd do transmog runs in old raids. So, we did the Firelands and Nighthold. That was loads of fun! We traded loots and helped each other get cool looking gear. We took a picture of Tonya's Khadgar head toy next to Khadgar on Gul'dan, the last boss. Then, Tonya and I went out to tame the one and only tiny toad pet. That's all! Come back tomorrow same bat time, same bat channel to see what happens next!
2019, Feb 13th: Primal Might's (N) BoD - Jaina
Jess's Raid Notes: We got Jaina down to 1% but were unable to down her. So close! Next time... A few people died jumping off the boat before the ocean had been frozen. During one pull, we were trying to find Jaina in the fog and our designated Jaina tagger interrupted a barrel instead of her, so we all got frozen into ice cubes. We beat on her til 11:34 p.m. EST. Alas. She's tough. But we made excellent progression!
2019, Feb 12th: Primal Might's (N) BoD
Jess's Raid Notes: We one-shot every single boss in BoD up to Jaina! WOO!
2019, Feb 10th: IXOYE Downs Conclave!
Jess's Raid Notes: IXOYE downed Conclave for the first time tonight! For the full story, see the note about it in the News section HERE, along with the raid logs of the night, posted HERE.
2019, Feb 9th: IXOYE's (N) Dazar'alor, 3rd week
Jess's Raid Notes: In spite of the fact that several people were missing, including myself, the guild had nearly 15 raiders today! WOO! Our raid is definitely growing. This week, we welcomed the druid Taodru/Doug who dpsed and healed, Tevlar/William, a hunter and Beckylynch/Jamie, a warrior, for his second brief appearance. Just before the first boss, Sarah joined Rob in solidarity by dying in the water. Tonya / Sunh is still mystified by the brown swirlies on the ground near the big brontosaurus. They were invisible to her. All the bosses were one shot this time up to Opulence. Tonya still can't find that elusive monkey paw on Grong. For a moment, Rob thought a boomkin was tanking Grong, but no, it was only John who had used his toy to look like one. Then, on Opulence, there were some shenanigans. On one of the pulls, Rob forgot to pick up his gem. Opulence was in fact downed in the last pull of the night! Gratz to everyone! HERE are the raid logs for the night!
2019, Feb 5-6th: Primal Might's (N) Dazar'alor
Jess's Raid Notes: Primal Might made it to Stormwall Blockade again the first night, killing High Tinker Mekkatorque. The next day, they squeaked past Stormwall and got Jaina down to 50% on their first pull - not bad! They also got to the ice wall one time before dying on Jaina. Looking forward to seeing Jaina downed next week.
2019, Feb 3rd: IXOYE's (N) Dazar'alor, 2nd week
Jess's Raid Notes: We got Opulence down for the first time last night! WOO!! We also made some significant progress on the Conclave of the Chosen. Good times and big fun! HERE are the raid logs for the night.
2019, Feb 2nd: IXOYE's (N) Dazar'alor, 2nd week
Tonya's Raid Notes: Sadly they discovered the amount of fat loot belts that were dropping... We are thinking of new nicknames for Sarah. Tiny Terror, Tiny Tot, Teenie-tastic, Epic lil bit... Suggestions? We are having a bad influence on Jess. She stole jelly beans and bacon and announced it publically in raid. We skipped some trash getting to Opulence using a nifty rogue trick. Sure some of us died... but some of us didn't. I rode my mount (giant mammoth) through an entire pull of Opulence. Because I'm just that good. Our safe word "bacon" was only used twice. New record! And there are a couple of new rules: (1) Jokes will not be tolerated after 9 p.m. (2) Shea is not longer allowed to count his stacks all the way to 100 if allowed to pick up the yellow gem.

2019, Jan 30th: Primal Might, on Stormwall Blockade
Jess's Raid Notes: Today, we tried Stormwall Blockade for a solid 3 hrs. He's tough. At one point, Rob and I both fell off the same side of the ship due to siren's temptation. It was rather amusing. You could see nothing of the fight behind the boat. We got him down to 38% at one point before he killed us all with his 100% energy cast. Clearing the stuff on the ground is the hardest part it seems, and managing dpsing the boss while also dpsing down the adds that give him more energy. We shall try it again next week! HERE are the raid logs for the night!
2019, Jan 29th: Primal Might (N) Dazar'alor
Jess's Raid Notes: We blew through the first six bosses, only wiping on King Rastakhan twice, because one time both tanks got sucked into the death realm, and another time, everyone in the death realm got the red circle chained to them just as they went in and it wiped the group down there. But, after that bad luck, we beat him. Then, we got to the dreaded High Tinker Mekkatorque. I was really didn't want to fight him. To my amazement, we ended up one-shotting him. That was glorious! We did a face pull of Stormwall Blockade for funsies and managed to kill Brother Joseph before dying. I got a nice new helm and also Kimbul's razor claw trinket. Rob got the healing trinket! HERE are the logs for the night!
2019, Jan 27th: IXOYE's 2nd day in (N) Dazar'alor
Jess's Raid Notes: We beat on Opulence until we couldn't beat on him any more. Opulence got the best of us. But next week, we'll SEE. The side with the rotating fire boss more or less got their side down. The side with the lightning balls needs work. The highlight was as break time Shea gave out three presents to the highest roller. He's been giving out presents at break time recently and it really spices things up. Wonder if we'll get Opulence down? Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel!
2019, Jan 26th: IXOYE's First (N) Dazar'alar
Jess's Raid Notes: Our guild went and tackled Normal Battle of Dazar'alor for the first time tonight! Sarah opened the raid with prayer and it was a beautiful thing. After clearing the trash in the opening of the raid, Rob in his excitement about a BOE drop, fell off the causeway into the water with the words, "A Rob has made it to the water." He died. We three shot the first boss, two shot the second boss and one shot the third boss! Not bad! I was so impressed - everyone really did such a great job. Gratz everyone! We had lots of fun and there was a lot of great loot to be had by all. HERE are the raid logs for the night!
2019, Jan 23rd: (N) Dazar'alor w/ Primal Might Day 2
Jess's Raid Notes: Today was the second night of raiding with Primal Might to see what we could do in the rest of Dazar'alor Normal. We got down the Conclave of the Chosen after 1 or 2 wipes. Next, King Rastakhan was absolutely nuts. His rotten oatmeal orbs move way faster than on G'huun. Yet we downed him on our second try. THEN, we hit High Tinker Mekkatorque. His fight was pure murder. It requires pristine coordination. The guide video doesn't look that bad, but it proved way tougher than it looked. We ended the night wiping on that guy. We tried (H) Champion of the Light briefly but didn't have enough people to continue past a wipe or two. Looking forward to trying this in our guild. Not looking forward to facing High Tinker again. HERE are the raid logs for the night!
2019, Jan 22nd: (N) Dazar'alor with Primal Might
Jess's Raid Notes: Some of us went to join the guild Primal Might in their first run of Normal Battle of Dazar'alor! We got the first four 4 bosses down! It was terribly exciting. Jess blew four seals and got three pieces of loot and even gave one away. Our first wipe was on the fourth boss, Opulence. Opulence is definitely going to be the sticking point for us in our guild, we think. It's fun but super tough, having to split the raid in two groups and kill two separate mini-bosses before the main boss. And the mini-bosses are super annoying. At one point, John noticed Trade Prince Gallywix hanging in mid-air in a hallway for no apparent reason. We also wiped on the 5th boss, Conclave of the Chosen, and stopped there for the night but we think we can get him tomorrow. Click HERE for the raid logs of the night!
2019, Jan 20th: Su 7 - 10 p.m. IXOYE (N) Uldir
Tonya's Raid Notes: Shea did something but I can't remember which something it was....he does stuff. New guild words: BEHOLD and bacon. Rob panic-bubbled which was good stuff and almost as great as the sneeze pull of 2017. John sometimes cheats if you do not specify the parameters of the roll and tells outrageous lies about Jess. Good times!
