You know what, with all of the large amounts of tradeskill items I've bought over the course of time, I could have easily fallen prey to this. I've seen this though being attempted and have mentally put it in my mind to give every auction another look before I rapid fire hit the buyout button. But you know, when you're buying 15 stacks of light leather, this 9.9 gold can look a lot like 9.9 silver. This would be also very easy to run with a mule character. Anyhow, they say in the next patch money denominations will be more apparent in the auction house. Now, if they'd only put up more and link the damn things already... In other random news, I got these (http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=13383) in Stratholme the other day. Easily the gayest item ever in a mmorpg, solidified by the fact that they look like green speedos with short thigh length chaps. I was one sexy troll for a bit. Luckily the shaman set pants dropped 2 days later. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

I read the thread, in it he basically says, "Were aware of the bugs and are working on it, have a nice day." Meanwhile, how many devs post here?

Quote from: Carne Insider info on the server issue | 3/11/2005 1:52:44 AM PST (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=1907702&p=1&tmp=1#post1907702) This info was given to me by a former employee of a very large internet backbone server group. which shall remain nameless, but I'm sure the people who know who I mean allready are aware of this problem, but don't want to discuss it. I don't know how long this will stay up before being deleted or locked, but here it goes. The biggest reason why certain relms and servers keep crashing, and certain changes effect servers almost randomly, is not entirely blizzards fault. They use major backbone companies to host the servers used for this game- not their own proprietary servers they used for battle.net, though they did outsource allot of the b.net servers too, later in b.nets evolution. But I digress. Blizzard as a company does not have the nationwide and worldwide infrastructure to completely control the internet access and server networks needed to make this game work. They contract other telco companies to handle alot of it for them. ALL mmorpgs do the same, do varying degrees. The problem with blizzard is that they are in a contract with certain companies they cannot break, which includes hardware and bandwidth limitaions. From what I was told, they optioned for growth at a certain rate and at a certain cost. They have been renegotiating for more mandwidth and control, but it's costing them dearly. They CANNOT discuss this openly in any way as it could be construed by the parties in question as being slanderous or libleous in certain contexts. Rather than take the chance of someone slipping up and saying a little too much at one time, they addopted a 100% non-disclosure policy on these issues. Once any side gets lawyers involved, any and everything can and will be used against you. They also don't want to risk 10.000 angry gamers floding the internet companies with hate mail or spam about the issue. Blizzards contracts call for them to be the responsible party for customer contact in this situation. On a related note, I was also told that the day to day costs or running the servers is immense- to the tune of several million dollars a month. As technology improves, they can expand the servers and increase the numbers of active servers and decrease the lag and technicle issues involved while keeping the costs about the same as allready contacted for, or even less. One big factor in the cost I was surprised to hear was what my friend refered to as the "defense budget"- the cost of protecting the servers themselves from direct attack via the net. They are assaulted constantly by hackers who attempt to crash or hack in to the servers, either maliciously or to track the info flowing both ways on the networks. Its not a smal feet to protect them, and still allow the game to flow at all, let alone smoothly. The figures discussed put the wow servers at about the same target level as the pentagon, if not more so, in the attempts to hack in to, moslty my rank amatuers, but some serious damage has been done by pros as well. I dont think blizzard, or any other mmorpg company really wants to dicuss the 2nd point, it being the dirty little secreat hiding out in plain sight no one wants to talk about. Again, loose lips sink ships, and if they did give out anything close to detailed info on how or when the servers were being attacked, it would invite other to try the same. Well, hope everyone takes this for what it is worth. And before anyone asks, blizzard certainly knows who I am, but under no circumstances will I divulge the source of my info, to them or to anyone else so dont ask. Edited to correct the worst of my realy bad spelling. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Hell, all my Zul'Farrek quests greyed out, so I decided to attempt soloing just the quest objectives. To test my power, I use the 3 mobs at the front of Zul. So far I've not been able to kill all three grey elites (low 40s to my lvl 57), despite being able to handle two equal-con elites.

You'd think after all the bullshit Tigole and Furor went through and put others through with encounters of this nature in EQ, SOMEONE at Blizzard would have learned that this type of shit should just be instanced.

Post by: Jayce on April 15, 2005, 12:11:19 PM But I suppose they've decided that "exterior" areas will never be instanced, which is a bad idea, IMO. I don't know that that is true specifically. Zul'Farrak is apparently outside, but it's bordered closely by rock walls on either side (a valley). I would imagine that the size of instances is kept small in that way to ensure that the memory footprint isnt too amazing on the server, but they can be outside. So it's just a bad design choice period - no arbitrary rules entered the picture I'd guess :) Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Rasix on April 18, 2005, 01:30:20 PM New troll here.

Quote from: Mysticdeath This is the absolute worst patch ever made. To all you people who are gonna say im retarded. Stfu ahead of time. Thank you. I am level 52 and I know that it is now impossible for me to get to level 60. Not to mention the fact that i play on a server were the horde are outnumbered by alliance almost 2x. In any high level area, all being contested for some stupid reason, there will be high level oposing faction running around. Regardless of any new rules you might set in. Dishonorable kills will mean nothing on a server were there is an extremely larger amount of alliance than horde for example. Simply because you will be zerged and thats the end of it. Blizzard, the only way to make a good system to gain this type of gear. Take out this god forsaken pvp honor system you have, so that it is playable again. All you need to do, is simply make Battle grounds first. Make a battlegrounds reward system for the items implimented for honor system. But clearly this honor system crap just isnt working and should not be in this game. Ps: If im forced to move to PvE because of this (which im considering) I will. Then once my account expires.

(http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-realm-earthenring&t=71475&p=1&tmp=1#post71475) Are you on ER by any chance? There are pretty good reasons why people dislike the KoK. I have ignored them, as they are everything I despise about WoW, a hardcore instance raiding group. Except that now they are a hardcore pvp raiding group, set up with very nice gear and organization from their pve raiding. Here (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-realm-earthenring&t=71504&p=1&tmp=1#post71504) is a decent post that mentions KoK. Decent post, but the hour in UC in question, I was present for. They showed up and farmed onsies and twosies, I logged before they were apparently set into retreat by an opposing force finally showing up. There was no way for anything but another organized pvp guild filled with high end characters and uber lewtz to oppose them, so I tend to agree with the author's assumption that it was the diminishing returns on pvp that moved them out. I can't imagine how shitty pvp servers have to be. And that's half of Blizz's big ol' money cow. Woops. Is this (the "honor" system) the single largest blunder in mmog history? Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Sky on April 27, 2005, 12:15:10 PM And to stick with the spirit of the thread, a quote from my link:
Quote from: Rytherion No. Battlefield parity = imperfectly realizable ideal That's relatively equidistant from both ends of a spectrum bounded by "oxymoron" and "tautology". In a world where every battle was one thousand Alliance against a single orc, no one would be having any fun, and the reason would be entirely due to disparity. This issue can't be absolutized in one direction, but neither should it be absolutized in the other. Quote from: Siofris But Rytherion, you're on the internet. :)Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

I have two wireless networks, and if I roam from one to the other (they are on different frequencies to deal with local radio pollution) the game will ask me on next reload if I want to reset my preferences.

Post by: Righ on May 09, 2005, 10:39:41 AM I can't read the whole thread to see if anybody explains it, but it works like this: heals are interrupts, just like attacks. Master looter 'loots the corpse' except that it just locks it to the ML for distribution. When ML releases the corpse, it becomes FFA. Ninja plays healer class and waits for ML to access corpse. Heals ML to create interrupt. Loots.
It's this simple - Master Looter only exists to grief idiots. It creates a false sense of security, and invites people to exploit its flaws.

You can't believe how many times I accidentally leave my stuff in town and wander in naked. Makes things hard. -Bring more than 2 people. Sometimes my buddy and I just feel like partying but really those extra minutes spent getting some more people pay off. Sure it makes it less of a challenge but I guess until Blizzard buffs the druids we will be forced to group to do UBRS. -Get above level 45. Apparently these last 15 levels make a difference. Personally I thought "hey its just a few levels" but for most people its a big deal that you be atleast level 58. Its elitist but hey thats life. -Use your skills. I admit I too was reluctant to wear down my number keys with repetitive pressing but it does help to cast abilities. This gets really rough sometimes because after casting 5 heals on a row on myself and then multiply casting faerie fire on the same mob I run low on mana. Bummer :( So yeah hope these are helpful tips 4 you. Maybe we will do a UBRS run someday together. Then hopefully I can get as far as the rookery!! Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Post by: Righ on May 12, 2005, 09:07:47 AM I'm pretty sure that the Blizzard response to any complaints against a player is to rename them. This explains why dozens of farmers who have been reported have disappeared, only to be replaced with farmers that nobody has seen level from 1-60. Earthen Ring Horde is a small community. I have seen most of the higher level folks around. However, every time somebody is reported for a game abuse, be it griefing, speed hacking, farming 24x7, or whatever, they vanish and a new high level character appears from nowhere. Cyax will be gone soon, and a new level 60 Tauren warrior with spaulders of valor will make an appearance.

Warriors are noobs that think they can just own up anything with some super melee attack, but guess what fellas, this isn't Devil May Cry or Dynasty Warriors, you can't kill 100s of foes with your trusty hack & slash. Your part of a group and you play a role, now go tank, knucklehead. Myth - Paladins have low self esteem and become easily frustrated when they get ganked in a game. So they roll the char with that can become INVINCIBLE for the Nah Nah Nah Nah effect Myth - Only a curious few originally created a shaman as their first main.

Post by: Righ on June 06, 2005, 06:47:53 AM Evidently, blue walling is when a player who isn't flagged yet attacks a player who is flagged, getting a free shot. I think.... The term actually comes from the method used to recapture an Alliance town after the Horde captured and held it. What would happen is an overwhelming force of Alliance would come running in a steady stream. Rather than assembling somewhere and flagging to fight, they would assemble at the town, without marking themselves for PvP. Once they had achieved roughly 4:1 numbers, they'd attack from unflagged en mass - a blue wall of players. It clearly makes no sense to apply the term blue wall to one player who choses to initiate PvP by attacking. ER *is* a pussy server, and people like Nock and Poppop are the ultimate PvP pussies. Despite being on an arrrpee server, they choose to metagame and insist on a code of honor that suits their forum trolling agenda. The hatred for LD appears to stem from a time when Poppop and some Horde jerk were duelling outside Orgrimmar while flagged. I saw the alarm bells ringing, flagged up and rode out of Orgrimmar to defend. They had already started to retreat, and I killed one just outside the gate. Tab targeted the next enemy, and it was Poppop. Did an intercept and started beating on him. Meanwhile the guy duelling him starts yelling to me to stop - by the time I pay attention to the chat window, he's yelling "Stop you fucking moron". I disengage, and walk away bewildered. Said horde member then decides to apologise for my behaviour on the ER boards. I counter, point out the idiocy of attempting to duel outside the gates of an enemy city, while flagged yet, and while the Alliance are attacking that city. My guildmates in Lucid defend my position.

Seriously, I can understand the 'en masse' blue flagging as being annoying (though no more annoying than the alliance outnumbering us EVERYWHERE) - but complaining about someone getting the first hit in ?

They are chosen sons now. I get a kick out people stereotyping Alliance. My server is totally balanced. Actually we probably have more horde, as SS was always owned by horde till a guild showed up in mass to push them back. Oh no side A is full of kids but side B is all mature adults. Unless this was just your way of trying to get some roleplay started on this board. To which i'll have to pass thanks. Anyways.. Frostshock is bugged in that druids cannot shed the snare when hitting travel form the way they are supposed to. Purge is over powered by far and will get a nerf soon no doubt. sweet... And the shock line of spells are a joke. Shamans are not overpowered. I think they have some overpowered spells that need some tweaking. Now you want to talk overpowered, let's nerf the shadow priests. I also hear that bloodlust will be returned to shamans. But this was mentioned in a thread concerning mage invisibility (which mages dont need) but will probably get anyways. What is bloodlust? I've got no problem with the racial traits. The undead one is overpowered. Pallys should be able to use thier spells against undead players and not only npcs. But otherwise tweak the shaman and I don't have a problem with them. Just the above points need to be addressed. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

I roleplay, but I hate roleplayers, because any congregation of them automatically produces or attracts people like that.
I was in an RP guild in UO, and we had some "allies" that were right up this asshole's alley. They roleplayed Drow (of course) and considered themselves "gatekeepers" of the incestuous little roleplay community on that shard. Their RP appeared to consist entirely of standing around acting like arrogant asshats at every meeting, being as obstructionist as possible when anyone outside of their clique wanted to do anything, never showing their faces anywhere outside of a meeting (certainly never helping us fight in the wars that were going on) and conspiring to split up our guild. I'm normally a huge carebear, but I was the first to suggest the course of action we took once we'd had enough. We were having another meeting in one of our Drow "friends" houses. The house was in Felucca. It was set to public access, but the doors and teleporters were friends-only for some reason. So our GM cast a gate to a pre-marked location outside, and all two dozen of us rushed in. The much smaller number of Drow were hacked to pieces and drylooted before getting off more than one or two house bans. It's one of my fondest UO memories. I gave away several pieces of armor with their crafters tag on them to guildmates, as souveneirs, but I still have one of their gorgets. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: HaemishM on June 08, 2005, 12:49:58 PM Evidently, blue walling is when a player who isn't flagged yet attacks a player who is flagged, getting a free shot. I think.... The term actually comes from the method used to recapture an Alliance town after the Horde captured and held it. What would happen is an overwhelming force of Alliance would come running in a steady stream. Rather than assembling somewhere and flagging to fight, they would assemble at the town, without marking themselves for PvP. Once they had achieved roughly 4:1 numbers, they'd attack from unflagged en mass - a blue wall of players. It clearly makes no sense to apply the term blue wall to one player who choses to initiate PvP by attacking. Holy fuck. Some people just really do not understand what the fuck PVP means. I mean, really. It's a competition. People who are competing will generally do anything and everything they can get away with to gain even the slightest advantage, including trying to ensure they get the first fucking hit. Anyone who flags is a target. Anyone who flags by attacking is a target. Sure, it's a cheese dick maneuver, but fuck. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? What a bunch of sandy vaginas.

Edited to add : "I had made a statement before that no TM camper were garner any kind of respect from me and this is the reason why. Sure at TM the range people had an extreme advantage because they could stand behind the lines and not get reamed. Come battlegrounds though, that is a totally different story.

Quote from: Narshala Okay, this is getting on my nerves. No, we will not kill Korrak the Snuffalu!@!us until we have control of the center. Korrak will still be there an hour later. Korrak respawns in the Battleground. If you're playing Alterac as much as you are, you will eventually get around to killing him. In fact, we killed him two nights ago... AFTER we had the Alliance on the ropes. If you're here to self-serve and take a shot at Korrak for the quest reward or whatever, go home. Just go. Open a slot to someone more willing to fight for your faction. Korrak is eventually on our list of "Things to Do" but only when we can handle him and the Alliance. Attacking Korrak and them aggro'ing him onto your teammates... YOUR GRAVEYARD... is an idiotic move and your right to free-thought should be revoked. Part of the Battlegrounds strategy is questing strategically. Not putting on the "Lewt Hooer" hate and doing your own thing.

If you find yourself in an MC instance that is not yours, you immediately get the rest of your guys to stop trying to log in, re form under someone who is NOT saved to that instance, and log in one at a time to a proper fresh instance. Stealing another Guilds MC is just mean. However, as ninjas go, that was pretty damn unbeatable. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

We actually asked a few GMs before ninja'ing their instance because we didn't want to get banned. Also, it's not as bad as it sounds. The instance is already reset and they can go about wiping on Baron again at their leasure.
As for that thread... I like being a board warrior sometimes. Same reason why people surf these boards while at work, amusement value. It's all a little over-dramatic really. The vast majority of the people on our server don't give a damn and the few who do are either inconsequential (when you can round up a bunch of guildies easily for a run or two you don't need pickups), or would need us as much as we need them should such a situation come up. Calling my guild an uber guild was a little tongue-in-cheek, and the post mostly satirical. We got ahead of everyone in raiding and all of a sudden certain people start busting their gut to worship and/or flame us. We slowly embraced the hate and fanned the flames for kicks and giggles (and annoyance, they just assume we are a certain way, so we figured why not act it) so we get much more hate than the other now. Everyone thinks we are a bunch of elitist jerks who think we are such hot shit. From the inside looking out it is very amusing because we're just a bunch of goof-offs raiding to amuse ourselves and get geared up. We all do some of the silliest shit like back into mobs, pull when not everyone is ready, or forget to heal the main tank because we were too busy talking crap in /g.

Have you actually looked at some of the stuff that drops in MC. Completely disregarding the Class Specific Armor Sets (which are not all that hot for PVP), most of the best weapons/accessories in the game drop in either MC or Onyxia. You also HAVE to do MC to complete the Priest (Benediction (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18608), Anathema (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18609)) or Hunter (Staff (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18715), Bow (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18713)) Epic Class Weapons. And please, by all means, tell me that something like Anathema or that Bow wont be a decent advantage in PVP. Really, MC is no longer exclusively the domain of the Hardcore catasses. Hell, it isnt really even "Catassable" any more for the Hardcore Guilds, since most hardcore guilds can do the entire thing up to Rag (and if they are doing good, Rag as well) in around 6-7 hours. Since MC is on a 6 DAY reset timer, that means most guilds who are MC capable do it in 2 chunks of 3-4 hours each and have the other 4 days to fuck around with whatever else tickles their fancy. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Calantus on July 03, 2005, 12:37:39 AM The Twelve Prophets have just recently done a full MC clear in under 3 hours.

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: SurfD on July 03, 2005, 01:10:27 AM Yeah, i heard about that. I still find it VERY VERY hard to believe they could do a full MC clear in under 3 hours. They would need to be fucking robots or something to work THAT smoothly.
Lucifron / Magmadar - Backtrack and clear to - Ghennas / Gaar / Geddon / Shazzra / Sulfuron / Golemag / Domo / Rag Thats 10 boss fights over 3 hours (or 18 minutes per boss) factor in time to clear trash mobs over the entire instance would amount to at least 30 minutes or more, and you are approaching 14 or so minutes per boss fight. Fucking robots i tell you. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Zetor on July 03, 2005, 05:32:16 AM Yeah, I'm sure MC is easy...
... once you spend 2-3 weeks 'learning' [aka wiping over and over to] the instance, have a ton of epics from MC already and dream of MC trash mobs in your sleep. And then you get to do it all over again with BWL [after you geared all 50+ of your raiders up in FULL mc gear]. And then [tier 3 raid instance]. And so on, all the way to tier 9. F that noise. Maybe my guild'll try that 20-man Gurubashi or something, but screw MC. -- Z. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Paelos on July 03, 2005, 07:51:49 AM It's pretty useless all told.

Post by: HaemishM on July 05, 2005, 11:12:02 AM I believe I'm more tickled by the fact that uber-guilds can trip over each other's instances than any of the drama. I mean, it's fucking instancing. It's meant to keep shit like rotation calendars and kill-stealing from being possible. As fun as WoW can be, Blizzard trips over their dicks constantly.

Horde side thier are 4, 3 stuck on rag, 1 on domo. ALL of these guilds have many alts that stay logged @ Kazzak's spawn, complete with warlocks to start the summon chain.

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Calantus on July 06, 2005, 07:32:23 AM Kazzak and Azuregos are almost impossible for us because the vast majority of our players only have a few hours in the afternoons to play on weekdays. Basically we aren't quite catass enough to be able to take bosses whenever we like. The 2 spawns are taken by Evolved almost every time because they essentially host pickup raids and so can hit them up whenever they spawn.

Isn't that one of the few places where we can check ourselves and our outside prejudices at the door? Would they have even known you are gay/minority/etc unless you made it a mission to let others know?

I think that's the point. The guy's definitely compitent, but he's not doing anything super difficult or new. Despite that, he's able to whip the shit out of a bunch of people using no armor and wielding nothing but a worn dagger. I assume the point he's trying to make is that while warriors depend on epic gear for their strength, the issue for rogues is with skills. I can't really see a warrior being able to do this stuff with no armor or weapon (no matter how many outtakes you cut from the final). The main thing that bugs me about this video is that there are a few times he goes against other rogues. If you're trying to make a video about how overpowered rogues are, don't show rogues getting beaten down. It makes it look more like some "OMG I R0xx0R" vanity project (along with that whole bit with the "paladin add"). Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Post by: Kail on September 06, 2005, 11:20:24 PM Warcraft has Novels written about it? -Raises hand- I've got, like, four of them. They are quite shitty. They sit on my shelf between my Starcraft Novels (I have the full set, I think, of two) and the Dragonlance series. In my defense, though, I... um... okay, I'll edit that part in later. I mean, to start with, the books are among the most generic oatmeal fantasy stuff I've ever read, but the author keeps making statements in the books that are inconsistent with the game lore. Keeps mentioning stuff like how character X is an "elderly looking Night Elf" or whatever when they're FUCKING IMMORTAL and therefore DO NOT AGE. Did you not have time to read all three pages of established Warcraft backstory before you wrote this, or what? Argh. I can't believe people are using them to defend the integrity of the Warcraft "world" (or whatever the hell his point was, I'm not really clear on that). It would be like claiming that the character of Batman is compelling and identifiable, and then pointing to the Super Friends as proof. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Blizzard's free talent re-specs have opened them up to accusations of failing to refund players for nerfing an item. We've said this before, but one really has to wonder about the implications of actually shutting a game down (a la AC2, if AC2 had players) in this legal atmosphere would be. I'm also amused by the concept that players become content for each other, and that therefore subscribers are in some symbiotic business relationship that transcends client->vendor. In that respect, simple online interaction becomes a revenue stream that implies an unpaid debt to the player. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Post by: Mesozoic on September 14, 2005, 10:03:06 AM It boggles me how someone pays an upfront box cost and agrees to pay a monthly fee to play a video game - and then turns around and tries to argue that to actually play the game represents some legitimate investment of valuable time, for which the player must be compensated. No where in any EULA is the explicit or implied understanding that a player will be reimbursed for his or her time in any way.

Quote from: Guderian To help update this list with the most modern and moddest of farmers for next weeks harvest here is how to spot them... -Usually Rogues -Usually seem to be "mindless" and "stupid" such as if you were in a quest area with alot of mobs and figured hey lets invite that rogue, the rogue declines and continues just randomly running around killing mobs like a machine -Does not respond to tells, or if responds says only extremely basic english words with no clear sentence structure or ability to comprehend what you are saying. May simply say "I DONT KNOW!" if you ask something. -Speaks chinese (the give away) -Says something to you that looks like.. That is actual chinese with english-characters I recieved in a tell after harassing a suspected gold farmer. "Ni bu dong ying yu bu yao zai zhe luan jiang ~!!" Ways to be sure you've found gold farmers... Send them tells saying things like "You = china??? I = taiwan ~!!" and act like a retard when speaking english cause chances are they will think you are asian and will send soemthing like "ni shi yu shi you bing a ~!!?".. If they say something like that, chances are, you have an asian gold farmer. Simply post their name here, or repeatedly fear their mobs and follow them around to piss them off. All chinese text in this post is authentic from my screenshots of farmers. Quote from: Fearghas McCarthyism anyone? Don't mess with someone just because they're Chinese. Quote from: Samedi I have seen someone hunting in the same area as one of these gold farmers and the farmer whispered him in another language (I wont say which language, but you already know). My friend ignored him. Not long after, 3 lvl 60 Horde showed up (The farmer and my friend were Alliance) and killed my friends character. Then all 4, yes, the Alliance farmer too, /laugh, /rude, /spit, etc. at him. Then they camped him until he just rezzed at the graveyard. I showed up stealthed and watched them gank him twice before he rezzed. Theres one problem with them. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Dressed the same, acted the same, drove the same car, etc.. and I only let the caucasion in, instead of the African American, then yes, I would have a problem on my hands. Why? Because the ADA protects against that. Now if an African American came up to me while I was working on my car, at my home, and asked to use my phone and I told him in no polite manner to get off my property and he called the police on a neighbors phone, then came back and waited for the police to come... guess who would be asked to leave.

Personally it would depend on the kind of guild on whether I would do it. Friendly family-type guild? He can stay, though he'll soon feel left out as once the vent starts it's harder to start convos in /g. If it was a hardcore guild of any kind (raiding/pvp) then he'd be out.

I'm sorry I don't bend over backwards for people when their disabilities would exclude them from an activity I'm engaging in unless I do them special favours. Although I take back the raiding comment, there you can do the whole tells thing fine. And I'm fine with doing the little things as long as they work. In a PVP guild? Sorry son, but if I can't relay a voice comment to you and have you pick up on it that very SECOND I'm not taking you. There's no way to get around not being able to hear in PVP. Yeah you can do ok just doing your own thing, but if I wanted to do ok it wouldn't be a "hardcore" PVP guild. Hell, if you don't have a mic and there's enough people who do, you aren't coming. I did that to my brother for the week his mic was broken, though I would make an exception for a mute. EDIT: I've been exluded from things because of my past weight, my height, and my condition. I don't particularly like it, but I suck it up. Certain things should always be done of course, but for non-public recreational activities you shouldn't expect special favours.

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Der Helm on December 02, 2005, 01:59:00 AM I don't think you're right. I was not able to read the thread, it seems to be gone or I can't access those forums from work.But could someone enlighten my why somebody should be entitled to play with a certain group of people just because he is deaf ? Last time I played, guilds where player run, since when can't the players decide for themself whom to play with ? Not that this is a mindset I understand, but "forced guilding" I do not like any better. PS: Pardon lack of coherence and bad grammar, I am posting from work with a hefty hangover. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Ironwood on December 02, 2005, 02:50:15 AM Look, here's my take on it :
In this case the Guild Master is a cock. Not for what he did, per se, but because he seems like a cock. Further, the Deaf dude is a cock as well. Not for being deaf or getting upset at being left out and ridiculed for his disability, but because he handled it totally wrong and came off as a cock. So. However, the deeper issue here is that because you are not on Vent/TS, you are a bad player. Or, because of same, you cannot find ways around it, such as comm macros and whatnot. It's a fucking game. People who are excluding other people due to disabilities are TOTAL FUCKING COCKMASTERS. Like, alas, the poster above. Sorry Calantus, but I don't think you're right. If you're good at PvP and have a system, I see no reason at all why you cannot participate, deaf or not. The problem that the thread highlights is that people don't want to help each other out to make the game more enjoyable for all. And that's fucking sad. Edited to add : I promised I was going to make a wee personal comment, but; we have 2 deaf people in our guild. Apparently. With one of them, I didn't even know until after he'd helped us beat Ragnaros. And, like me, he's a stone guard and moving on up the pvp chain. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Calantus on December 02, 2005, 03:46:48 AM Like I said you can do ok in PVP without it, but the whole point of a PVP guild is for co-ordinated PVP. You can't do that with typing, the lag time would be too much of a disadvantage. I'm fine with going the extra step to help players who are skilled overcome small problems (took me a hell of a time to get our vent compatable with macs for a single guildie for instance), but there's a line. I'm not going to make myself suffer through having to bend over backward so someone can play along with us. Maybe I'm just a selfish bastard, but I'm not really interested in spending my rec time accomodating people's special needs.
Also, I'd kick someone who had a head cold if they gave me shit over it and threatened to take action if I didn't help them with it. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Cal, get a life please. When you're wearing chocolate chips and calling in supporting ranged artillery your perspective is dead-on. When you think a simple game that can be completely re-created the next night has met the same threshold you've lost something valuable that most of us call humanity. And people like that we politely call "Dicks". Impolitely, once the ladies leave the room, it gets bad real fast. I'd happily take someone behind the woodshed if they expressed that opinion under my roof. And feel no remorse when I spent the night in the drunk tank. Sure the deaf dude was a prick. Gee I wonder if he'd ever run into this sort of genetic-garbage stupidity before... think he might already be primed to react to bigots? Maybe. Just maybe. Of course it could also be said deaf dude was just some asshat jacking with the guild. But to a certain degree we have to take even virtual personalities at face value. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Paelos on December 02, 2005, 11:26:22 PM I'm no liberal man, and I don't really care for the coddle everyone philosophy that some have.
However, I don't advocate shunning the physically disabled because I don't want to spend a little extra time out of my day of gaming. Seriously, macros take five minutes to set up fully for any BG you're in. Hell, I could do the same for any instance i'm in too. It's sort of the same logic that doesn't have us shooting our wounded in a war. It's counter-productive. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Post by: Sairon on December 03, 2005, 09:24:03 AM If we're talking about a deaf dude geting kicked out of his guild because he couldn't communicate on voice com, then I'm with Calantus. My guild just as a lot of other guilds kicks people who refuse/can't use voice com, and even if the guy is deaf we won't let an entire guild adapt to 1 guy. I'm sorry but you're naive if you think some macros are even close to the power that voice com brings. It doesn't only take team play to another level but it's also much more fun to be able to talk to the people you're playing with. Call me a selfish "dick" or whatever but when pay and play something on my free time I won't reduce my fun to adapt to someone handicaped.

Post by: Calantus on December 04, 2005, 07:19:36 AM It doesn't only take team play to another level but it's also much more fun to be able to talk to the people you're playing with. I gotta comment on this. In one of my old old guilds there was a huge divide between people with voice comms and those without. Everyone who was on the comms would hardly ever talk in /g unless it was to link items. We'd have to say "are you guys reading guild/raid/party chat?" just to make sure they actually read something if it was important, otherwise some would miss it. Then you'd often see groups where everyone was either on vent or off vent, people who were on vent related better and grouped more often, people without vent related with eachother better and grouped more often. We even had one guy quit because he got sick of his questions being ignored accidently (all the officers had vent). One day we were in the core clearing some lava packs and he explodes with "FUCK THIS NOBODY EVER READS CHAT VENTRILO IS THE WORST THING EVER TO HAPPEN TO THIS GUILD" and then he /gquit. I had to scroll up to see what the hell set him off 'cause I'd missed it. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Sairon on December 04, 2005, 09:43:54 AM People should also bear in mind that we have a larger percentage of Language Issues on the European servers. I think that adds some spice to vent. For example we have a bunch of people from iceland, and they have a really funy accent. In the begining some people had problems geting their point across on vent, but it didn't take long before everyone started talking more or less fluently. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Dren on December 05, 2005, 05:58:22 AM I just look at it as "what are the results?" I wouldn't kick people strictly for not using a tool. If their performance was such that they needed to be kicked, then do it for that reason. This guy could perhaps perform just fine by picking up on subtle visual keys that non-deaf people can't. I dunno.
This guy may be able to play just fine without voice. I would have just waited until it was painfully clear he couldn't perform (caused too many wipes, etc.) Then made that the reason for dismissal. Or, just stop inviting him to groups and he'll get the picture pretty quickly and leave on his own accord. I certainly wouldn't require everyone in the guild to stop using voice chat for one person. That is just not very realistic. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Would anyone really say, "This is totally unfair. I don't want to use voice chat, but Bobby is the only one that doesn't have to because he's deaf!" My point was, let him play without it. If he sucks due the lack of voice chat, then he'll be left out of groups without ever having to bring the drama. Then the question would be, "Why do you leave me out of groups." The answer would be very simple and without any reference to a disability. It would be, "Because you suck!" Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: SurfD on December 08, 2005, 07:31:53 AM i think what people are trying to say is that Voice Chat and Text Chat need not be magicly mutually exclusiive.
Any guild who sets up a vent server, starts using it, and then completely ignores everything in the in game guild chat channel is just asking for trouble in my opinion. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Hoax on December 08, 2005, 08:49:10 AM Actually what happens is, during combat nobody reads the chat channels. There are plenty of people who either never speak on the mic unless forced or do not even have the ability to speak on the mic. Therefore guild/raid chat is used often during raid downtimes, and almost always for loot division I would imagine. But during combat the likelyhood of something important being missed in the chat channels is quite good and therefore it is frowned upon for someone to not be logged unto vent to hear important exclimations.
Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: cevik on December 08, 2005, 09:04:15 AM i think what people are trying to say is that Voice Chat and Text Chat need not be magicly mutually exclusiive. Any guild who sets up a vent server, starts using it, and then completely ignores everything in the in game guild chat channel is just asking for trouble in my opinion. I've spent a ton of time using teamspeak to pvp, and the action is fast enough and the words in the headset are coming fast enough that I rarely notice the chat box at all. In fact, it is difficult to associate the chat that I do manage to read with the words in the headset, i.e. Voice Chat: "Who needs help?!" /g Chat: "Farm" When I hear one then read the other, they do not connect in my mind, and I assume this happens to a lot of others (at least in my experience 90% of the people I pvp with are the same way). So the above conversation makes literally no sense to me, the "Farm" and the "Who needs help" are processed in such drastically different ways in my mind that they end up being different conversations and have no connection. Now all of that being said, my penis is plenty large enough that I'm willing to take a disadvantage and lose sometimes because of this long before I'd kick someone out of my guild for having a major disability like being a mac user or even being deaf. Hell I've never been in a guild where 100% of the people are on teamspeak, we've usually only gotten like 30% or so of the people, granted they will be the most effective 30% and having that group can make or break a battle, but no where near 100%. Of course I'd label all my guilds as "casual" guilds, not hardcore guilds. I also label myself as "casual" even though I typically spend 3-4 hours a day in game on the weekdays and even more on the weekends.. and the time I'm not in game on the weekdays I usually spend reseraching the best way to min/max my character (I am very much a min/maxer, ohh noes, the horror!).. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: HaemishM on December 08, 2005, 11:31:28 AM In the newer games like WoW especially, the chat box is secondary. It's superfluous. If you've ever seen me in :nda: or WoW or CoH, I miss guild chat all the damn time. The action in front of my character takes up all or most of my attention.
The chat box is a fucking dinosaur and needs to be replaced. Unless you are deaf, at which point at least your computer doesn't need a sound card. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

It's something I've noticed as I'm in a guild with people where half use it all the time and half don't. I don't use it except on the weekends after the kids are in bed because it means I can't hear them otherwise. This means I don't get into groups or guild raids during the week without spamming Guildchat until someone noticies it.

This is what I mean (http://www.f13.net/commentary.php?subaction=showfull&id=1100294384&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&). I'm absolutely horrible at not being able to read the chat box because I'm actively engaged in the stuff my character is doing. In EQ, I was looking at the chat box almost exclusviely, because that was the only way to tell when somethings were possible. Same with DAOC. In WoW and CoH, seeing debuffs, positional stuff, or specials like parry that require my input is all in the middle of the screen, centered on my character. But I've found since I quit EQ/DAoC, I have a lot less ability to multitask in an MMOG anyways. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Calantus on December 09, 2005, 02:19:08 PM Yea, I have people bitching at me to dispell if I leave a debuff on them for more than a second, and health bars where things go really bad if I don't keep them from going empty. I'm watching my party as it's my main responsibility, then im also watching my ctraid panels if in a raid, and I'm watching what's going on so I can fade/whatever when certain events happen. Then I'm also having a conversation in vent. I honestly can't also read the chat a lot of the time when I'm fighting or doing anything remotely engaging. If you can, then you're better at multitasking than me.

The snooze alarm is a .50 caliber to the face. Chuck Norris' wake up call is a 12-gauge shotgun to the right leg. The snooze alarm is a .50 caliber to the face. See, not the same. Vin Diesel > Chuck Norris. AHA - While resurrecting the other thread, I found this: http://4q.cc/chuck/ Apparently the Vin Diesel thing didn't take off like the Chuck Norris thing in some places. Which makes no fucking sense. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: cevik on January 04, 2006, 07:48:08 AM Quote Chuck Norris/10 There is a fad going on on the WoW boards (it's not been going long enough to call it any more than a fad), to rate posts (mainly trolls), i.e. 1/10 for a bad troll, or 10/10 for a really really good troll that gets a lot of people. The better trolls do stuff like spell out t r o l l with the first letter of every sentence, or are posted with a lvl 1 troll character and no one realises it a troll for at least the first few pages. There is also a fad, often perpetuated by the devs, to say that Chuck Norris is the most uberest ever (probably mostly because Chuck Norris is so lame, thus the irony of saying that someone so obviously lame is "cool"). So this guy gave the post a Chuck Norris out of 10 possible points, i.e. it's the "best" rating you can get.. Fairly clever actually. It will get old fast though, because now EVERY post is going to have some retard rating it Chuck Norris/10. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Then along came Walker, Texas Pussy and nothing has ever been the same. Yeah, that's what I mean behind the irony of choosing Chuck Norris to be above all. It's one part a reminder of when we were 8, one part a reminder of how lame Chuck Norris has become, and one part a subtle dig at the person you are comparing to Chuck Norris. Overall a pretty good pick. I probably like it better than Vin Diesel because I can recall a time where Chuck was uber alles. Never did Vin Diesel reach such heights with me (though had I been younger, I'm sure the thought would be reversed). Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Here is my personal favorite: Quote Re: [WoW] WoW-erize your favourite book/movie/music quotes (scene: The streets of Gadgetzan. Enter Sampson and Gregory, of the Alliance.) Sampson: Here comes two of the house of Orgrimmar. Gregory: My epix are equipped: quarrel, I will back thee! Sampson: I will /spit at them as they walk by, which is a disgrace to them if they bear it. (enter Abraham and Balthasar, of the Horde) Abraham: Do you emote at us, sir? Sampson: I do emote, sir. Abraham: Do you emote at us, sir? Sampson: No, sir, I do not emote at you, sir, but I do emote, sir! Gregory: Do you quarrel, sir? Abraham: Quarrel, sir? No sir. Sampson: If you quarrel, sir, I am for you; I play as good a faction as you. Abraham: No better? Gregory: Say "better," here comes one of my guildies! Sampson: Yes, better, sir! Abraham: You lie! Sampson: Flag if you be men! (enter Benvolio) Benvolio: Part, n00bs! You'll aggro the Bruisers! There are other good ones, as well. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Also, from the parody thread: Quote "We had two bags of soul shards, 75 Major Healing Potions, five sets of Goblin Jumper Cables, a Runecloth Bag half-full of Fire Resistance potions, and a whole galaxy of +Fire greens, blues, epics...and also a Noggenfogger Elixir, some Savory Deviate Delight, and two dozen Bottles of Pinot Noir.

Here is the follow up thread and some background for every one. The Alliance uber guild "Imperial Order" IO, worked with a bunch of other guilds, horde and alliance on our server to do the war effort, and create the scpter. Apon completion of the war effort, IO has gone completely silent about when they are going to open the gates and start the event. Now this has a bunch of people pissed off in and of itself. The information is going around the high end guilds that they are going to trigger the event at 2:00 in the afternoon after server maintenance tomorrow. Since most people will be at work at this time, they had a bunch of their members take sick days or vacation days, so they can do the event with out interference. I dont like this. But to top it off, they started posting that they wouldnt open the gates until the people of the server donated 5,000 gold to them.

It's like looking closely at Pro Football, seeing how they shout shit at each other, abuse members, backstab in the media and showboat. You wonder why they bother (aside from the $$$) but the players don't see it as a big deal. It's all part of the game. You don't HAVE to play at that level, though. I raid regularly and we don't curse at each other, the raid leader doesn't call us fucking asshole noobs and we don't have meltdowns like the Ony guy or the above image. We do get a "what happened there <x-class>" in a very frustrated tone, or call raids off if people are acting like they're completly drunk but it's rare. Again, it's about finding people with the same attitude as you, and the same goals. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Rasix on December 20, 2006, 10:25:12 AM That guy is hillarius. We didn't see much of that from my old guild leader or any of the raid leaders (from when the guild leader was out for the birth of his son). A raid leader supposedly did that when I was away from the game (flipping out on MC dog packs) and was told to leave.
All raid/guild leaders say this sort of stuff, though. Unless your guild is constantly one shotting everything, there's going to be some disappointment, some reinforcement of what needs to be done, and some pointing out of who fucked up and why they did. Usually most aren't such dicks about it or so blatantly disparaging. Still, I think he's funny. Reminds me a lot of my old soccer coach from when I was doing club soccer from when I was 13 & 14. Nothing like being on a talented, yet struggling team being coached by a group of JUCO players (one who was on a club team that placed in nationals) with bad drug problems. A quote from him during warmups after we got demoted a level (4th flight to 5th), "Wave to 5th flight cars guys, you earned it." Quote Again, it's about finding people with the same attitude as you, and the same goals. This is killing me. My two friends just quit again. They can't stand being easy targets in PVP and they can't reconcile that a big part of that is their pre-MC level gear. I can't find a casual guild, consisting of mainly mature individuals that likes to PVP as a team on occasion. And that plays during my current time frame. And that doesn't have a completely retarded guild name. Sorry, I'm not joining "Generous Package". I'd like to raid, but I know I can't. I miss the raid guild though. I miss playing with decent players that are actually good at this game. I miss not having to deal with PUGs. I miss the organization. I don't miss 4 days a week at 7PM PST, though.

Post by: Paelos on December 20, 2006, 11:54:06 AM Not all raiding is like that, espeically if you're in large raiding alliances where you can choose which of 2-3 MC runs or BWL runs you want to attend. I know I have led a BWL run and now a Naxx run, and I just treat it as fun. We look at strategy we talk in the forums, but day of we go with one idea, try to learn, and then react to it in the forums after we're done.
Trying to make adjustments on a plan in the heat of battle to 40 other people just pisses everyone off. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Righ on December 20, 2006, 12:16:56 PM I think folks are reading it too seriously. Bear in mind that (much of) the context is missing.

I'm surprised more people don't recognise the tone from physical education or more accurately, a military squad leader. He gets to say this shit because he's earned respect, and is able to take it as good as he gives it. Our raid leader is not dissimilar. He has a short fuse and yet he has a kind heart. If you need to be cosseted and soothed when a raid encounter goes wrong, there's probably a guild out there for you (they're probably still on Baron Geddon though).

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Morat20 on December 20, 2006, 01:44:17 PM Our raid leader is fairly sarcastic, but in the funny/positive way. He's mostly bitching about the people who jump in before the attack call, and Hunters dropping stings that push off the 'lock DOTs.
In the Hunters defense, our 'locks are retards and we only drop our pussy-ass serpent stings on there when it appears the warlocks have completely forgotten the existance of their DoTs. In deference to our Warlocks, the rule was amended to "No stings if we're on the second row of effects". Currently, I think he's trying to teach the raid: "When I call a wipe, please do not run over the FD'd hunters. They will not thank you for the repair bill. Just unequip and die, please."

It's not the military, it's slaying fictional dragons for fun. One style is correcting people to get things done, the other is about letting the emotional baggage of your leadership style loose on a bunch of people trying to have a good time. I just don't like the implication that you have to be verbally abusive, comical or otherwise, to get things done in raiding, which is what I think the casuals see and use as examples on why not to try.

It's not the swear words that bother me, it's the fact that the guy genuinely seems to be insulting and demeaning to the people who are supposed to be his allies. I've never raided; I don't understand half the crap he's bitching about in there. But taken out of context (the way it's presented here) it looks a lot like one of those IT guys who will jump down your throat because you don't already know everything they do. Maybe his guild knows not to take him seriously. Maybe he thinks that flipping out and insulting people is hilarious. But stuff like this (like that whole "More Dots!" thing that was floating around a while back) really reinforces the whole "So, once I get to level sixty, there's nothing for me to do but get yelled at by jackasses like this? And I pay a subscription fee for such a privilege?" kind of feeling. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: caladein on December 20, 2006, 10:47:15 PM That sort of statement about raid leaders is kinda like saying everyone that plays DAoC is gonna scream "I own the fucking VN boards" when they get pissed off.
Still, it's important to find out what kind of leader you like. One of my friends would only go on a raid with his guild if the guild leader (or I) was leading the raid, he just couldn't stand the rest of the leadership of the guild. When I was third-string raid leader for my Alliance guild, I'd tend to get comments about my leadership style versus the guild leader's or main tank's, some folks liked mine better, some didn't. (I tended to run a looser ship, which the guys liked because the guild leader was running us like a kindergarten by the time I left.) I mean, good raiders are not really easy to find, and raiding guilds are rather common. It may take a while to find a leadership style you happen to like, but if you work well with your raid leader, and the rest of the guild is good, you'll have a hell of a time raiding. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Ironwood on December 21, 2006, 07:01:56 AM You know, I just realised that quite a few of the comments were whispers. That pretty much takes it out of 'public lighthearted fun' to 'Stop harrassing me you fucking cunt'.
That's how I'd feel anyways. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Righ on December 21, 2006, 08:52:02 AM Click portal to help summon:

There's often a need for both pressure and humour when you're three hours into some ass encounter, and this is often the result. Personally, I think it's hilarious.

Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Threash on December 21, 2006, 12:03:29 PM My guild was never like that but i certainly wouldn't mind a having a guy like that lead our raids, ill take one guy being an asshole over wiping to a mob we had on farm status three months ago because people cant be bothered to pay attention any day of the week. My guild was extremely laid back and casual friendly, we got very far being laid back and casual friendly but eventually we hit a wall. There was just no way we could progress any farther with the attitude we had and the people we had and a month of no progress followed by a month of backwards progress pretty much killed the guild. We killed razuvius in naxx and huhuran in AQ, a month later we couldn't finish BWL, today the few people that are left do only pvp.

-- Z. Title: Re: Board thread of the day... Post by: Trouble on January 07, 2007, 09:32:13 PM As a raid leader, I wouldn't want to be in a raid lead in that manner, nor lead a raid in that manner. Maybe it's just a matter of degree, and people in raids I help lead do get yelled at, but I feel a line is crossed when you systematically and continually make it clear to people that they aren't valuable. Fact is that at the higher levels of raiding, it really does take quite a like of skill and experience to perform adequately. The people that are in your raid are not worthless or stupid or incompetent, if you've done a good job recruiting and filtering your roster. Either he's insulting people who deserve better treatment than that, or he is the one who failed his guild for doing a bad job of building a good roster.
As I said, there is a place for people to get heat for making mistakes. People need to be able to take responsibility for their actions when they make mistakes or simply give a poor performance. If the leadership doesn't hold people responsible for these things, then they usually continue doing them and degrading the quality of the raid. There's a difference between berating and talking down to someone and making them feel heat for doing a poor job. It's the difference between attacking a person and attacking a person's actions. The guy is hilarious though. Many of those lines I can tell what fight he was on, or just the general concern. Every guild has the same problems more or less. It makes me laugh to read some of that because I know there was probably a time I thought roughly what he said to his raid. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

I don't think she'd have wanted the things to be combined into a one-piece outfit; well it would have saved some space, but like those hats that NE's like to use, she probably wanted to keep that separate.
She was a druid; at some point she went after the whole Tier 1 priest outfit (I forget the name) just for its looks (the priests in the guild had Prophecy/Transcendence by then, so shrug, nobody cared).

It seems that a few teams have been invited despite having too many ineligible, at least one team has been invited where their paladin is ineligible which screws the team, one team had most of it xfer to another battlegroup entirely and thus has only 1 player in the roster, but they got invited. Probably the worst one is it seems Blizzard took the armory values from the specified end-date to qualify, only the armory is 2 days behind the ingame values so a few teams missed out and are pissed. Lots of muckups from Blizzard on this one.

On another note some people are theorizing that the current spike in gold spammage is due to the armory and people feeling the need to buy blues/purples off the AH to keep up with the Joneses. The gold sellers are also desperate to get enough gold to fill demand and thus all this keylogging. The armory supports terrorism, there I said it. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

This (http://www.lordoftheringswords.com/witchKingsword.html) is on my wall. Impressive, but not over the top. Course if anyone points out how nerdy it is that I have that sword, I always point out that it was purchased for me as an anniversary gift by a girlfriend. Not sure I'd have the confidence to put it on my wall had I actually invested a few hundred of my own dollars into it. Title: Re: Board thread of the day...

Drama at the Wrathgate (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19820876667&sid=1) Posted below for the working/ lazy. Highlord Bolvar Fordragon walks among his men. Alliance Soldier 1: Highlord Bolvar! Alliance Soldier 2: Thank the Light! Alliance Soldier 3: For Lordaeron! Alliance Soldier 4: For the Alliance! Bolvar roars as he and his men charge into the undead. Highlord Fordragon: Back, you mindless wretches! The gates open and Scourge vrykul, speaking in their native tongue, charge out. Highlord Fordragon: Fight on, brothers! As the battle continues, Saurfang the Younger observes the conflict and raises his axe to rally his soldiers. Saurfang the Younger: Rise up, sons of the Horde! Blood and glory await us! Back at the battle, Bolvar glances up at the sound of an orcish horn, and Saurfang and his troops arrive. Saurfang the Younger: Lok'tar ogar! For the Horde! Horde army: FOR THE HORDE! Bolvar and Saurfang fight side-by-side. Highlord Fordragon: I was wondering if you'd show up! Saurfang the Younger: I couldn't let the Alliance have ALL the fun today! Saurfang swings his axe, killing three undead vrykul in one slash. After the battle ends, Bolvar and Saurfang approach the gate. Highlord Fordragon: Arthas! The blood of your father, of your people, demands justice! Come forth, coward, and answer for your crimes! The gate rumbles and opens again, revealing the Lich King, Frostmourne in hand. The Lich King: You speak of justice? Of cowardice? I will show you the justice of the grave and the true meaning of fear! As the Lich King approaches, undead legions rise behind him. Saurfang the Younger: Enough talk! Let it be finished! Saurfang charges. The Lich King swings Frostmourne, shattering Saurfang's axe and killing the orc instantly. Frostmourne consumes the soul of the slain orc. Highlord Fordragon: You will pay for all the lives you've stolen, traitor. The Lich King: Boldly stated. But there is nothing you can-- An explosion and a green cloud behind Bolvar interrupts the confrontation. The Lich King: What? Laughter from the heights above the Wrathgate as Grand Apothecary Putress approaches. Grand Apothecary Putress: Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven? As he speaks, the catapults come forward. Grand Apothecary Putress: Behold, now, the terrible ven-- Kanye West has appeared beside Putress on the cliff face. Kanye West: YO PUTRESS, I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU, I'MMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT ARTHAS HAD ONE OF THE BEST BETRAYALS OF ALL TIME. THE BEST BETRAYAL OF ALL TIME. PEACE. Kanye West has teleported away!

Quote Kologarn is going to stop your raid Yogg-Saron: Okay, so this whole plan is going pretty well. I've gunked up a tree in Grizzly Hills, I've enslaved the Keepers of Ulduar, and I've set up an impassable ravine between my inner sanctum and the outside world, so nobody can get in to stop me. Kologarn: AND I WILL STAND IN IT. Yogg-Saron: Seriously not necessary, K-Garn. I've got that whole thing under control. Check out the map. It says that's "The Shattered Walkway." It used to just be "The Walkway." Until I shattered it. No walkway, no progress. Pure effin' genius. Kologarn: AND THAT IS WHERE I WILL SQUEEZE THE LIFE OUT OF THEM. Yogg-Saron: No, dude. You don't need to go there at all. You can pretty much just take the week off. Maybe meet some ladies. I can't even remember the last time you hooked up. Kologarn: NONE SHALL PASS. Yogg-Saron: Well, that's the point of a huge ravine. So I don't really need your help. Kologarn: I CAN CRUSH AN ARMORED TAUREN IN MY POWERFUL STONE GRIP. Yogg-Saron: Yeah, but the tauren can't get over the ravine anyway. And it will be extra funny, because they could totally get over the ravine if they could use their flying mounts, but flying mounts are disabled in Ulduar. That will make them crazy. See, that's what I do. Kologarn: WITH MY OVERHEAD SMASH, I CAN MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE. MY FOCUSED EYEBEAMS TURN MY VERY RAGE INTO LAZERS. Yogg-Saron: Okay, I guess if you really want a crack at them. But it's fine with me if you just want to knock off. What's your hard mode? Kologarn: HARD MODE? Yogg-Saron: Can you, like, buff yourself to do double damage, or have twice as much health or something? Kologarn: I AM VERY LARGE. Yogg-Saron: Fair enough. Go hang out there. I guess, even if they beat you, I've still got my bases covered with the whole shattering-the-walkway plan. Kologarn: YEAH. I DON'T SEE ANY WAY YOU'LL BE SORRY ABOUT THIS. |
