With a full NOR group, Saturday marked the groups first push into the hardmodes! With great success, we pushed though all the bosses with only minimal individual deaths. A slight hiccup at the pylons but at the next attempt, we accomplished it without struggle, and further redeemed ourselves with a clean run through on the dreaded stairs! 
Great work everyone! You all did an amazing job! 
<-Beware the Bunny of Doom! What a night! After a record-breaking sub 1.5 hour TFB run, we decided we weren't done for the night. Golden Fury became our next target, putting up very little fight and melting under our group's insane DPS. Our last target of the night ended up being the Voss world boss, The Nightmare Pilgrim. This was a first for the NOR members in the group. After an overview of the mechanics and TCL providing the buff crystals, we proceeded to easily one-shot the boss earning credit toward both the world boss quest and the Aratech Coral quest. Another largely successful night for NOR! We had 2 open dps slots going into the night, and decided to make it a training/gearing run for some fresh 55's. Repress and Timaios joined us with our initial goal being to finish the weekly (down boss #3). We had a little trouble with boss #2 due to being a little light on dps, but downed him just as he enraged with Malykk being the last player standing. After downing boss 3 with little effort, we decided to push on and see how far we could make it. Boss 4, which can be a fairly frustrating fight, went down on the first try. We continued to boss 5, the puzzle fight, and unfortunately wiped on the first attempt due to a new glitch/mechanic none of us had encountered before. Try #2 went perfect and we finished the fight without incident. We finished the puzzle right at cut off time and called it a night. 
Re: [DMG] Progression & Raid Journal apr2013-
The gearing runs continue as we had another successful night of loot and fun. Our on-the-fly decision making and adaptability was tested several times with glitchy pulls and a few CC breaks, but we came out ahead each time. We showed our flexibility and cohesiveness as a group even with a few new raiders. Tundrra's wife was nice enough to let us push about 15 mins past end time to finish up the puzzle boss before we called it a night.

We challenged our old Nemesis last night Hardmode Explosive Conflict. This is a zone we have never spent much time in. We have cleared StoryMode numerous times but due to Expansion release date and when we reached the right levels we never took the time to clear the zone and skipped ahead to other zones.
Last night we had first time raider with us Nimmi, sorry we didn't take you to a zone we had mastered and impressived you with our mad skills! Instead we stayed calm and methodically conquered the first boss and worked through the second boss. Unfortunately we still have not cleared this zone on hard mode, but it is now seriously on our radar and we will tackle it a couple more times in August...otherwise we will have our T4 group come in and show us how it's done:)
Even a tough zone can be fun, thanks everyone!
