I haven’t really udpated you guys lately on Fallout’s (FO) progression in the past few weeks, but indeed a lot has happened since. While I can’t exactly remember the exact date, we downed Leotheras and Fathomlord on the same day, followed by Vashj attempts all within the same week, and the following week cleared SSC to Vashj in two days giving us ample time to practice the strategy.
We’re running into a few minor mistakes that, granted, do throw everything off. The fight itself requires perfect execution, and the fact that each night of attempts we had a different make-up of players probably didn’t help. On top of this minor stunt in our progression, a string of members have left due to some drama and misunderstandings. What more or less it amounted to was a group of members who had joined about a month ago leave at the same time. Big surprise. Regardless, I’m still pleased that on several attempts we have made it to all four cores down, but again not nearly enough people alive to execute phase three. It should only be a matter of time.
In other news, while farming today I finished up listening to The Instance Ep. 71:
“Blizzard’s Rob Pardo was one of the panelists at the Hollywood and Games Summit. There’s a lot of discussion of intellectual property and development, of course, but one tidbit was abundantly clear – Blizzard is working continuously with Legendary Pictures.”
I myself am 75% sure that whatever movie Blizzard is planning will be canceled, because quite frankly a movie involving purple elven people and standing cows just seems too corny. But ultimately WoW does have expansive lore on any given item within the game, so this project may turn out to surprise the best of us.

A new website opened the other day: WoW Jutsu. The website is more or less a listing of active raiding guilds descending in boss downings. The system basically scans the Armory and based on items guild members are using figures out which bosses have been downed. While obviously not perfect due to the simple fact that even new boss downings to any guild may not always yield items someone will use, the system gives a broad view of where your guild ranks against others.
