A warm welcome to five new raiders!


 

We are excited to welcome five new raiders to our roster and we look forward to killing all the things with them!
 

Our new members are being adopted as a group from their previous guild <For Hire> where they have all been dedicated raiders for about  4 years. Just like many guilds these days that are trying to find a balance between 10 and 25 man, <For Hire> went through stressful raid nights and low attendance streaks of their own but as many stories like this end, it was time for them to get a fresh start.
 

Please join us in welcoming...

Dues Fury War

Alysinn Ret Pally

Aiji (Ahhh-gee) Frost Mage

Visitire (or Vis) Destro Warlock

Vexune (or Vex) Resto…..err…balance druid.
 

It was their intention to stick together so that they could continue to collectively tease Vex and they are looking forward to being in a new guild, meet new friends, and kill more than Jin'rokh!

Welcome guys!

Get to know Babyhits in our April edition of spotlight on PI!

April 23rd, 2013

It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute, that we move on to better things.

Hey Spring, you were supposed to meet us here a few weeks ago. What gives? I guess we'll just have to keep downing bosses while we wait.

Oh yeah, we're 11/12. wsupden.

You may delay, but time will not.

 

Admittedly, the front page of our website has been a bit inactive for the last few weeks, but don't let that fool you! Project Icarus has been storming the Throne of Thunder, downing bosses left and right. Already 10/12, it'll be on to heroic mode before we know it!

Three wings down, one to go!

Spotlight on Jughernaut

 

 

The March edition of our featured player of the month is our good friend Jughernaut!

Jughernaut (aka Arvind) is twenty four years old and has been a <PI> raider for a little over a year. Some of you may remember him as Cryogenics (or Kryogenics lulz) the mage, but he changed to be our Monk healer for MoP!

A Throne is Only a Bench Covered in Velvet... or Thunder.

 

 

The bell has rung, the fight has started, and <PI> comes out swinging hard! A left, a right, another left, an uppercut to the jaw of TOT and HE GOES DOWN! Ladies and gentlemen I've never seen anything like this! Right off the start we can see that <PI> wants to establish dominance in this fight. TOT is a young and relatively unknown competitor, but with a quick eye and quicker reflexes <PI> was able to pinpoint a weak spot and really capitalize on that opportunity! Looks like TOT is recovering, managing to stand on his own two feet but he's looking a little shaky. Larry, let's get a close up of the aftermath from the first exchange of blows in this heavyweight bout!

 

Congrats to everyone for a great first venture into the Throne of Thunder!

 
We're still accepting transmog screenshots so keep 'em comin' folks!
 
We'd also like everyone to start sending in some screenshots of your character riding on your favorite mount in your favorite place!

Patch 5.2 Springs Upon Us

 



Patch 5.2 is right around the corner and it's loaded up with new raid content along with a few relatively major changes for some classes. Everyone better be spending those valor points to upgrade their Sha-Touched weapons before they remove the item upgrader from the game!

Blizzard has officially updated their patch notes for China and I know us healing Priests are looking forward to the updates making their way over to this side of the world. Check them out here -

Haha, just kidding! You can see the translated version over at the always great mmochamp - http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/3131-Troves-of-the-Thunder-King-Patch-5-2-Notes-Update-Blue-Posts-Starcraft-Universe

SPOTLIGHT ON <PI>

For our first edition of this monthly installment  we have chosen to shine the spotlight on our fearless leader, Raea!
 


Raea, or John (or Jack) as those in the real life realm call him, has been the Guild Master of <Project Icarus> for 2.5 trillion years. We’re sure that at some point during  your tenure here you have had the epic pleasure of conversing with him and realized what a swell guy he really is. He may not seem like the most sociable guild member at first, but given the chance he will talk your ear off about a great number of very interesting things like science, game mechanics, Warhammer model building or even dancing. You will quickly notice how dynamic and engaging a conversation with this truly tall drink of water can be.

A few quick Raea facts before we begin:
He is 22, currently our resident prot paladin tank and loves chicken (we’ll get to that later). You can often find him hanging around mumble making obscure puns to everyone within earshot or on Wow, LoL, or some other game owning noobs followed immediately by accurately exclaiming, “WHAT A NOOB!”

So please take a moment and get to know John a little more! ENJOY!

Please submit some of your favorite transmog screenshots to the guild email and thank you to everyone who has sent theirs in already! We have got some very fun, colorful, and somewhat interesting submissions so far.
 
Last but not least, if you have any suggestions for things you would like to see featured on the front page please let Raz or Symmone know in game on mumble or at the suggestion box thread! We are always looking for ideas!! If you have something fun, game related, or just interesting that you want to share with the guildies don't hesitate to let us know!!!
 
Next week we'll be kicking off our "Spotlight On..." series which will feature an interview with a selected player of the guild!
