I put pvp aside and decided to have a go at raiding in WoW doing ICC pugs and even though i use to loath the pve side of WoW, i'm seriously starting to enjoy it this time round, though 4hrs in one raid time flys before you know it. I thought before Cata expansion comes out i better at least say Ive done ICC (Icecrown Citadel). :oops:
In vent I asked so whos the best raiding guild out there, oh they're Paragon those guys are pro what takes us nubs more than a few weeks to finish a raid takes paragon one night. Oh so what part of America are they from? They aren't Americans they Finnish!
So Dowly if you ever decide to try WoW at least you got a chance to be in the top guild they only accept players from Finland :)

If anyone's interest Paragon History:
Paragon was formed by the core members of Knockout (Twisting Nether) and Sauna (Stormreaver) for Wrath of the Lich King in August 2008. But our roots go much deeper than those two guilds. Some of our members have been playing together since before World of Warcraft and have raided together in every raid instance there has been. After leveling up in WotLK, and getting most of the realm first leveling achievements of the full populated realm, we managed to get world 14th 3 drake 10 man Sartharion achievement which was the hardest encounter in the game at the time. We played on Stormscale but the lag was so horrible we had to take a free migrate to Lightning's Blade before Ulduar.
In Ulduar all of our hard mode kills were in top 15 with 4 top 3 kills. At some point before killing Algalon 25 we recruited the 8 Finnish core members of Underground Kosmonavts (Ravencrest). They had achieved world second 10 man Algalon but they were Alliance and faction change wasn't available yet. After our new members had leveled up and been geared we started working on the hardest encounter in the game so far: Alone in the Darkness 25. Ulduar had been out for almost 4 months at this point but this insanely hard encounter had not been completed. Within only days after we started trying it we managed to kill Yogg'Saron without any watchers helping and thus achieved Alone in the Darkness 25 as the second guild in the world.
When Trial of the Grand Crusader's hard modes were unlocked we quickly killed the first three hard mode bosses without wipes. On Twin Val'Kyrs we wiped for four times but managed to get the world second kill. Then came the real challenge of the instance, the last boss: Anub'Arak 25 heroic. With the try limits implemented by Blizzard for ToGC and the insane difficulty of Anub'Arak ment that only the best of the best could achieve a kill of Anub'Arak during the first week. Of course we managed to do it after wiping 42 times with only 4 tries remaining and achieved our first World First! In the next reset we also managed to clear the instance with only 5 wipes and achieved the world first Tribute to Mad Skill.
In Icecrown Citadel 25-man normal mode we got the world first Lich King kill (where the encounter was working as intended). Our Professor Putricide normal world first is also worth mentioning as many other guilds believed the encounter was bugged and didn't attempt it as they were afraid of wasting attempts. We also managed to get the world first 10-man heroic Lich King kill just a few hours after the servers got up after the 5% zone buff went live. In 25-man heroic Icecrown Citadel we got Europe first kills from 8 first bosses and world first kills from wing end bosses: Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa and Professor Putricide. We achieved the world first 25-man heroic Lich King kill 26.3.2010. 28.7.2010 we finished the raids of Wrath of the Lich King by killing the Lich King hard mode with 0% zone buff.
Recruitment
Paragon is a full Finnish guild so this part will be in Finnish. If you can't understand the following text, you do NOT have any chance of joining Paragon. lol
Killan raidiajoista:
- Raidaamme normaalisti Ke/To/Su/Ma/Ti 19-24, esim. Ennen LK25HC killiä raidasimme Ke/To/Su/Ma 19-24.
- Uuden contentin ilmestyessä raidiajat muuttuvat radikaalisti ja silloin pitäisi pystyä raidaamaan pari ensimmäistä päivää siitä hetkestä kun servut tulevat pystyyn johonkin 01-03 asti, riippuen miten paljon on raidattavaa.
- Farm statuksella oleva content menee yleensä parissa päivässä, esim. tällä hetkellä raidaamme 2-3h per viikko.
Mitä sinulta vaaditaan?
- Aktiivisuus raideilla 95-100%.
- Olet ollut kiltasi LK10HC killillä mukana (ennen 15% buffia), tai hyvä syy mikset mahtunut setuppiin.
- Olet clearannut ICC25HC:n 11/12 ennen 10% buffia.
- Olet kiltasi parhaita pelaajia ja haluat nostaa rimaa korkeammalle.
- Osallistut aktiivisesti ventrilokeskusteluun raideissa.
- Mahdollisuus raidata uuden contentin julkaisuissa servujen aukeamisesta lähtien.
- Aiot pelata WoWia samalla tahdilla Cataclysmissä.
Classilla tai specillä ei ole tällä hetkellä niinkään väliä, enemmän kiinnostaa se itse pelaaja. Kuitenkin Cataclysmiin on aikaa ja siihen mennessä ehdimme rerollata rosterin kuntoon.
Applyt mielellään ircissä.
