A powerful war party of the Black Dragonflight, led by the fearsome Twilight dragon, Halion, have launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple. By destroying the sanctum, the Black Dragonflight look to crush those that would stand in the way of their master’s reemergence into Azeroth and to ultimately shatter the Wyrmrest Accord – the sacred bond that unites the dragonflights.

The battle that is to come will surely deal a crippling blow to the Red Dragonflight, however, it is up to you to stop this unprecedented offensive and defend the Ruby Sanctum. First you must face the assault of Halion’s servants, Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian, before squaring off against Halion the Twilight Destroyer, a new and deadly force in this realm.

Unfortunately there are only 4 achievements to track. For now, these are being tracked within the Icecrown Citadel categories. I may move it later depending on feedback received.

Enjoy the new content!

UPDATE: The site is now updated for 3.3! Scoring for these new zones will be tweaked as we learn more about the encounters.

Current values can be viewed here: http://wow.guildprogress.com/US/Sen%27jin/Premonition/score or on your guild’s page.

Also, we’re currently working on a way to enable live scoring and hope to have this completed tonight. This would allow us to provide an estimated new score for a guild whenever new data is collected so you could then see it instantly reflected on the charts. Keep an eye out for this soon!

UPDATE: Instant scoring is now live!

<achievement categoryId="168" desc="Defeat every boss in the Trial of the Crusader in 10-player mode." icon="achievement_reputation_argentchampion" id="3917" points="10" title="Call of the Crusade (10 player)">
        <criteria date="2009-08-26+02:00" id="11684" name="Defeat the Beasts of Northrend"/>
        <criteria date="2009-08-25+02:00" id="11685" name="Defeat Lord Jaraxxus"/>
        <criteria date="2009-08-25+02:00" id="11686" name="Defeat the Faction Champions"/>
        <criteria date="2009-08-26+02:00" id="11687" name="Defeat the Twin Val'kyr"/>
        <criteria id="11688" name="Complete the Trial of the Crusader"/>
      </achievement>

That is what the crawler sees when it visits are player’s achievement page. The dates listed here next to <criteria data=” are the dates that are being recorded. We have no other way of checking for a date and are at the mercy of the Armory in this regard. I just wanted to emphasis that this is on Blizzard’s end and is not guildprogress.com’s fault!

One thing I would suggest is relogging after your raid over to sync with the Armory. I am not sure how effective that is but if you are concerned about having accurate data on the Armory you can give it a shot!

• The rankings for Ulduar/Coliseum will now be refreshed every 2 hours.
• Wrath of the Lich King rankings will be refreshed every morning at 4am est.
• The Burning Crusade will no longer be crawled or have it’s rankings updated.

We’re continuing to look at ways to make the rankings quicker to update and hope to have more improvements in the near future.

If you do find yourself signing up and creating a profile, don’t forget to install the guildprogress.com application. It is available in WoW, EQ, and EQ2 flavors. You can find them in the applications directory. Using data from guildprogress.com, you can show off your guild’s recent PvE accomplishments on your profile page and provide a more in depth look on the application page. You may also configure the application to automatically post to your activity feed when your guild defeats new bosses or completes new achievements or also when your guild moves up in rank. This is just an initial release and I hope to do a lot more with it in the near future. You can check out my avatar’s WoW guildprogress.com application by clicking here.

I hope you all enjoy it and feel free to unite with me after you sign up!

You can view the patch notes here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/.

Construction of the Crusaders’ Coliseum is complete. New raid normal and Heroic modes for the Crusaders’ Coliseum can be toggled using the Dungeon Difficulty setting. This applies to 10 and 25-player versions. 10-player (normal), 25-player (normal), 10-player (Heroic) and 25-player (Heroic) all share separate raid lockout timers.

I am in the process of adding the content to the site and should have it done soon. However, until the WoW Armory patches to include the new achievements, no updates will be tracked. Once things settle down we can see how scoring should be done for the new dungeon. Any input on that will be appreciated!
