The Japanese cloned Jesus so they could re-crucify him.

'Cause seriously, if someone was going to do it, it'd be Japan. Well anyways... Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that other good stuff from those of us here in Damage Done. It recently occurred to me that these news posts aren't so much for the benefit of those already in guild (as they typically are aware of recent guild related events) as they are for those of you not in the guild. I was going somewhere with this post I swear. ... Oh, right. So I'm a bit late ...

I can't think of a witty title

Kel'thuzad down! The exclamation mark used there denotes excitement and/or joy, so that you all may feel the emotion I am currently experiencing. To better translate my elation I give to you the winning strategy we used to topple this oh-so-infamous Lieutenant of the Lich King. Screenshots. Right. Um...

Screenshots are overrated

- Z - — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 19:47:09 GMT

Except for this one: Oh, did I forgot to mention that our website may in fact be NSFW? Oops. Well, there's your warning. Moving on, we have officially killed all of the 10 man WotLK raid content which I guess allows us to move up to the front row of seats on the short bus. But hey, status is status, right? P.S.- Yeah, so I'm apparently really bad at remembering to take boss-kill screenshots. Blame Ichaerus.

I just lost 50g because the servers were up

Damnit. Arthas is the new Mussolini.

Patch 3.0 Goes Live... sort of

- Z - — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:06:44 GMT

So the patch hit yesterday (in case you didn't know). After everyone had finished downloading and the servers came up as scheduled, at 2:00 PM PDT, we all logged in to try out the variety of new abilities Blizzard had granted us. The balance team had done a fine job, as per their usual standard, and on a personal note, I was extremely psyched to see such attention to detail paid to the two new arenas released in the patch. And then I woke up. I believe there exists a direct correlation ...

How2Play | Episode 2: Macros

PB — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:44:18 GMT

Intro Welcome back to How2Play, my one-manned crusade to teach the denizens of Azeroth how to be better at playing WOW! This week we'll be looking at a topic both near and dear to my heart: Macros! I'll show you why and how you should use them and give you some great examples of how they are used today. Audience The intended audience is anybody that doesn't really use macros, people that have some familiarity but don't have a good resource for how to use them, and people who want to ...

Peanutbutter Teaches You How2Play

PB — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:00:37 GMT

Introduction Greetings, and welcome to the first installment of Peanutbutter's mini-series, How2Play! This series is designed to play World of Warcraft better by applying proven theory and strategy and old-fashioned common sense. Credentials I have mediocre arena ratings and lead a guild that that is ranked 1418th in the US realms. How could I possibly know how to play? Well, the answer lies in a lot more than just metrics. Would you say Mother Theresa didn't know How2Help even though ...

You and I are not so different.

PB — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 06:49:15 GMT

Dear Illidan, I sat in my office today, mulling over recent dramatic events. I wasn't cursing my relatively good fortune, the privilege of getting to lead 30-40 people every week to push themselves past a breaking point, to see how far they could go in the game. I'd be a damned liar if I said I wasn't tickled to see that every week we had people giving 110% to see what remains of your empire crumble. It doesn't seem to matter that we fall asleep disassembling the building blocks ...

Illidari Council Defeated

PB — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:13:32 GMT

Better late than never...

Okay, so we actually killed them a week ago, but I've been a busy bee...

I don't have anything witty to say here, so insert some random joke about not being prepared.

For Mother's Day

PB — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:05:55 GMT

For Mother's Day this year, Damage Done is encouraging its members to do something a little non-traditional with their loved one... Kill Her Of course, since that may not happen (people aren't hardcore enough), instead we decided to do the next best thing... Kill someone else's mother.

Reliquary of Souls Defeated!

Malaese — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 07:39:17 GMT

The night started out slow...we had formulated a fool-proof strategy, done fifteen pages of nerd math and prepped by watching historical documentation on the kill... Okay really... we had little clue how the fight would work, three pages of scribbling on how mages do the most damage on Brutallus and we really like Angelina Jolie in skin tight clothing. None the less, Damage Done brought down Reliquary of Souls in the first night of attempts! Loots: Serayne - Dreadboots ...

Pain Suppression Now?

Malaese — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 16:07:48 GMT

That's right, the combined forces of Damage Done and someone's friend who had never been to Black Temple before, pushed through one last attempt...after the last attempt...to bring down Gurtogg Bloodboil for the first time. Strategy: Here's a link to the Top Secret strategy devised in-house by our crack 80's music video team.

Patch 2.4 Goes Live

PB — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:54:36 GMT

The patch is live and (supposedly) the servers are up. That said, we're fully planning on raiding tonight. Here are some helpful tips. Your UI may be completely ruined. Anything that messed with a combat log is screwed up, and I know of only Recount having a new version that works with it. That said, keep in mind that anything can happen with a patch, so you may need to disable mods just in case. Download the patch as early as you can. Don't be trying to log in at the last possible ...
