Malygos VANQUISHED...again
December 31

Killed normal Malygos in about 4 minutes 30 seconds a couple days ago for the "You Don't Have An Eternity" achievement, which also gave us the "Glory of the Raider" achievement and a 310% speed plagued proto-drake. Congratulations to all involved!

EDIT: On the heels of our normal Malygos achievement, we went back with 15 more duders and killed him for the heroic achievement. Congratulations to all the Heroic: Glory of the Raiders!

The Twilight Zone Achievement
December 11

Congratulations to all involved and to Tensai on the black drake. Months behind, whatever, shutup.







The Immortal, U.S. First
December 9

Completed "The Immortal" achievement tonight, which requires no deaths on all 15 bosses in Naxxramas (Heroic). Congratulations to all involved!





Sartharion and the 3 stooges VANQUISHED
November 29

After a two day holiday, we killed Sartharion and his three lieutenants.

Congratulations to Karalynn on the twilight drake flying mount and to everyone involved in the kill.

Blizzard, please give us challenging content. This was not a hard fight, despite all of the hype. Give us pre-nerf Kael'thas, M'uru, Kil'jaeden, C'thun type encounters. We're not interested in learning and beating your "hard" content in a matter of hours.





Malygos VANQUISHED, U.S. 2nd place kill
November 18

One night after our heroic Naxxramas clear, we went for Malygos and he suffered the same fate as our ol' pal Kel'Thuzad. Yet another realm first for VANQUISH and we earned the unique title of "the Magic Seeker" to go along with our Naxxramas unique titles. Not a good showing so far from our horde counterparts which happen to inhabit our server with a 8:1 ratio or something ridiculous. Congratulations to all involved!

As for the encounter itself, it wasn't that difficult. It was original, it was really cool looking but as for a real challenge, it wasn't there. It took us about 2 and a half hours to learn and beat the encounter, without running the 10-man version. Heres to hoping that Blizzard gives us a real challenge in the patch to come!





First heroic raid instance cleared.
November 17

Finally got enough level 80's to run heroic Naxxramas. Cleared it and got the unique realm first title "Conqueror of Naxxramas". We maybe outnumbered on Cho'gall but we sure as hell aren't outgunned! Congratulations to all involved. Hopefully Malygos is a bit more challenging QQ

If you're interested or know someone who might be interested, contact Onslaught via our forums!

Thoridal x 2

Obviously, I could make this post and fill it with sexual innuendos and zingers about how Anjeliq is an e-whore which would seriously be awesome but this time, gonna let it pass. Congratulations to Anjeliq on VQ's second Thoridal.





VANQUISH first Legendary Bow
July 23

Congratulations to Rammyz on our first legendary bow. Well deserved, friend.





"Strike now, heroes, VANQUISH the deceiver!"
June 2

So we finally killed Kil'Jaeden tonight, after about a week of attempts. Not a very good world rank (11th I think) but our U.S. rank is 5th which means we've placed in the top 5 U.S. kills for every single boss in Sunwell which is pretty nice for us considering we've never been considered a "bleeding edge" guild until Sunwell was released.

Kil'jaeden as an encounter was incredible on Blizzard's part. Just like every other guild has said before, I was expecting a giant mess but was happily surprised. Just like M'uru, the fight is incredibly unforgiving and really tests every member of the raid by making them perform to their best ability.

Huge grats to everyone involved on this kill and even the ones who were not involved but contributed to the kill. You all did an amazing job and really pulled it together at the end, especially considering most of our shamans are taking an extended break from the game.

LOOT: Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei to Vryna, Cowl of Gul'dan to Elvenstein, Handguards of the Dawn to Matterio and Tattered Cape of Antonidas to Laith. Congratulations to each of them!

Enter: The Deceiver

Stay tuned for good things!





M'uru had a D E A T H W I S H
May 15

Finally killed M'uru and Entropius tonight. The fight is unforgiving and when you have 4 - 5 people who seem to disconnect EVERY FREAKING PULL, it becomes a fight most of us end up hating instead of enjoying. If you ever wondered what a fight with zero room for error is like, enjoy M'uru because that's exactly what it is.

The fact that M'uru was released during University finals really screwed our placement on this boss (World 14th or something) so we're hoping to make up for that on Kil'Jaeden!


LOOT: Ring of Hardened Resolve to Rem, Ring of Omnipotence to Dimethyl, Some dumb resiliance ring to Belligerent and the Utopian Tunic of Elune to Laith

Eredar Twins VANQUISHED, U.S. 3rd place kill, World 7th
April 11

Killed on 4.11.08 @ 11:39pm EST

Not exactly sure if this encounter was tuned correctly, seemed like it had alot of luck factors involved but it was definitely a feeling we haven't had since killing Kael'thas once these two died. Big props to my Euro pals for the theory crafting sessions and congratulations to everyone involved!

LOOT: Shoulderpads of Vehemence and Sin'dorei Pendant of Triumph to Smokestomp, Amice of the Convoker to Matterio, Archon's Gavel to Biovaat and Belt of the Forgotten Vanquisher to Kronos

VIDEO: VQ vs The EredarTwins



Killed Twins on 4.24.08 in opposite order. Not really worth a News post so I just edited this one. Yay for 4 sunmotes.





Felmyst down, US 2nd, World 4th kill
March 27

...and no, we didn't sit our melee, pansies.

Killed on 3.27.08 @ 8:37pm EST.

LOOT: Congrats to Atea and Rem on Boots of the Forgotten Protector, Kronos on Boots of the Forgotten Vanquisher and Insurgent on the Grand Magister's Staff of Torrents.

VIDEO: VQ vs Felmyst

So far, Felmyst is probally the funner fight of the instance. Looking forward to the last three bosses though!





Brutallus dead, US 3rd place kill
March 26

Killed on 3.26.08 at 7:12 EST

VANQUISH website hacked by Women's Rights Activists
March 3

That's right.

Our beloved website has been hacked and defiled by the group known as the "Women's Rights Activists". They violated our webspace and deleted our forums and database. Why did they do such a terrible act of random e-violence? We think it's because they're jealous of how awesome we are at World of Warcraft, but others say it's because of our "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" policy on recruitment. Regardless of why or how, all we know is you can't keep a good super nerd down!

Our webmaster is already hard at work on our new forums and new website and we will be fully operational within the next couple of weeks!

We actually have no proof that the "Women's Right Activists" had anything to do with our website being hacked but a couple of guys from the Gorefiend World of Warcraft realm told me they did it so that's good enough for me. Better luck next time I say!
