Bloodboil boils no more!

Not too hard of an encounter if you stack healers. Nevertheless nice dancing from the bloodboil teams :-)

Teron Gorefiend dead (again)

Poor guy. He was bitching all the time on how many times he died already and the heartless Aphozoids kill him once more. That's life I guess... or death :-p

Shade of Akama sent back into the darkness

Trying to be poetic here but failing. Another pushover encounter. 30 seconds or so. The chess event of The Black temple.

Supremus' fires light no more

Another big trash mob is down. First try too :-)

High Warlord Naj'entus aphorized

Not much to say, seriously a pushover boss. Smile :-)

We saved the world!

The Battle of Mount Hyjal is won! This was the greatest achievement so far. So much effort, so many consumables burned, but sooooooooooooooooo worth it! Oh and by the way this was a server second! Major kudos to all of you Aphozoids!

Azgalor down

The pit lord is down! Many thanks to Thrall for his aid. He is still a noob though! Archimonde anyone?

Monday, November 12, 2007

Kaz'rogal owned

Kaz'rogal was slain by Thrall. Ok that's a lie but we think Thrall did a good job. We might recruit him if he applies. He would need to get some weapon expertise though. Enemies dodging your attacks is not pro, Mr. Thrall! Say cheese Aphozoids :-)

Kael'thas Sunstrider

Anetheron Slain!

After the usual noobish wipes, we get our act together and do a perfect kill. The train is picking up steam again, but this time it is headed towards Mt. Hyjal!

The Lord of the Blood Elves has been defeated!

Amazing moment for Aphorism! Kael'thas Sunstrider has been defeated. Best encounter we have done so far: skill, coordination and execution. You've done it Aphozoids! On to the real "endgame" now! Say cheeeeeese :-)

Monday, October 29, 2007

Rage Summerbreeze down!

Right after Kael'thas defeat, Rage Summerbreeze was killed as well! Not so happy about the gazillions of trash but what has to be done must be done! :-)

The Coilfang Matron down

Lady Vashj met her destiny tonight. Kill was completely flawless and after a few.. questionable tries this felt really good. Awesome job guys, keep it up, let's kill Kael now.

Oh we killed Doomwalker too just because we were so wound up.

Enjoy the pic!

Leotheras the Blind put to rest

2nd new kill this week! Aphorism is on fire. Only Vashj and Kael left to start doing the real stuff! Awesome work peeps. Enjoy the photo!

Sunday, September 16, 2007

Fathomlord and his crew killed

Wasn't that hard, was it? GJ Sofuzz for being No. 1 on killing Spitfire Totems. Get Leo tomorrow!



Sunday, September 2, 2007

Al'ar owned

We are picking up speed again! Al'ar is down as well leaving only Kael in The Eye! Awesome job Aphozoids!

Hydross down

Recovering from the summer vacations and hopefully starting another big progress push like a month ago we bring you Hydross two bracers. The rest of him has evaporated :-) Many thanks to all that contributed to this kill!

Sunday, August 5, 2007

Morogrim Tidewalker

Many guilds consider this a healer's gear/competence check. We started with five with one of our best dying early in the fight. And still we made it. Yeah our healers are that pro.

Thursday, July 26, 2007

Lurker down

First night in Serpentshrine and The Lurker Below lived up to his name and went below. For good ;-). Enjoy the guild picture!

Monday, July 16, 2007

A Horde first - Solarian down!

After a lot of work (and lots of wipes) she is finally down! This is a Horde first kill and a server second. Awesome progress Aphozoids! Job very well done. Let's keep this up shall we? ;-)

Crafting Roster

Our Crafting Roster is now public for everyone to see. If you see anything you want crafted in this list feel free to contact that person for the craft. It is an added bonus to whisper when Aphozoids are not raiding :-)

Enjoy!

The Void Reaver is defeated!

Second time in Tempest Keep and the Void Reaver is down on the second try. The execution was Apho-style flawless. Not at all bad for a total of four tries on a boss! Keep it up Aphozoids and enjoy the phat loot :-p

We are out of soup!

Magtheridon was getting kinda of fat, so we decided no soup for him either. "You are on a diet now boy!". Enjoy the pic!

No soup for Gruul

Yes you heard it: "No Soup for Gruul". Enjoy the picture and congratulate the participants.

Our home grown loot system (EPGP) grows in popularity and gains commercial support

Guild Launch Adds EPGP Support to Rapid Raid DKP Too

Glen Allen, VA, May 21, 2007 - Guild Launch is proud to announce the addition of EPGP (Effort Points/Gear Points) raid management system to its proprietary Rapid Raid DKP (Dragon Kill Points) raid management application for massively-multiplayer online games. EPGP is a form of DKP that is gaining popularity and Guild Launch will be the first guild host to offer it as part of their free and subscription-based guild hosting plans.

What is DKP? DKP, or dragon kill points, is a class of economic systems and software used in MMORPGs to distribute rare in-game items among guild members.

What is EPGP? EPGP stands for Effort Points/Gear Points. Effort Points quantify the effort each guild member puts towards the common guild goals and Gear Points quantify what each member receives in return. Loot priority is computed as the quotient of the two: priority (PR) is equal to EP/GP. The factor that makes EPGP unique is "point rot." Since EP and GP decay over time, active players are rewarded for their consistent contribution and new players are able to move up in their guild ranking at a very satisfying pace. Point rot also prevents EP hoarding by veteran players who may not take part in raids as often as they did in the past.

The end result of EPGP is a raid system that is fair, easy to understand and popular with new and veteran players alike.

To learn more about DKP and EPGP we recommend the following articles:
With each release Guild Launch expands its social and guild networking by bringing users, characters and game data together in creative ways to improve a user's experience in and out of game. Guild Launch was founded in 2006 by Stephen Johnston with the intent to bring the best guild hosting available in both the free and subscription-based arena.

First 25 man boss down!

Big fat Ogre went down. First 25 man boss for Aphorism, a tiny step into the endgame. Congratulations to all that participated in this effort and enjoy the picture :-)

Karazhan cleared!!

And it is true. Karazhan is cleared :-). Both Prince Malchezaar and Nightbane are down. Nightbane was too tricky without a hunter though. Once Tempy came to the rescue it only took a couple of tries to be done with this beast!

Oh look, Netherspite is down as well!

After too many tries we want to admit, he is down as well. The last try was really flawless. Good job aphozoids! Enjoy the photo :-)

Monday, April 23, 2007

Shade of Aran down as well!

This one troubled us for more than Curator did, but finally he is dead as well. Some more melee power never hurts :-) Good job aphozoids!

Friday, April 20, 2007

Terestian Illhoff down

After a number of tries, Terestian is down. Many thanks to our two locks that pulled an amazing 1720 and 1420 dps respectively by seeding the silly imps and nuking the whole room :-)

Prepare for Netherspite Aphozoids!

Tuesday, March 27, 2007

Curator down =)

Finally after a couple of unfortunate attempts we took him down! Grats to Aphorism and Drakana for the first T4 piece in the guild ;-) Enjoy the pic!

Maiden is sleeping now...

Finally we put her to sleep. After an unfortunate wipe right off the start of the raid she went down smooth an easy. Key was the 2 HoTs we had now for healing the MT and the fact that most of the raid had properly enchanted gear. And there she lies... sleeping silently...



After Maiden we went to watch a performance to the Opera House. We found a Big Bad Wolf and took him down too :-p



With a tired raid we took 2 attempts on Curator. One at 80% and a second one at 65%. Not too bad for first encounters. Next time we are going to be mean to the tall robot! Till then rest well Aphozoids!

Maiden of Virtue is playing hard to get

Back to Karazhan and still downed only the first two bosses. We did some good tries though on Maiden but still unable to down her. This time we remembered to take a picture of Moroes dead. So enjoy that until our next encounter!

First Karazhan run: Attumen and Moroes down!

We are back on the raiding board and today we had our very first visit to Karazhan. We took down Attumen & Midnight on the first try. Moroes tried to escape us but after a couple of tries he was down too. I think we had more trouble with trash and mongopulls rather than the bosses themselves :-)

Go go Aphozoids!



Note: Due to extreme excitement we forgot to take a pic of Moroes dead. We promise to have one next time though :-D
