ppl bitched about zombie event because of hamsters wheel syndrome... they just cant mindless slack in main city or do some raid which they did 100 times before or pvp in same boring battlegrounds and inbalanced arenas...
pre release events are about fun and new experiences, not about farming best equip to kick newbies ass thats the problem, you cant rush those events so they are boring to those "pro gamers" which are destroying game that i used to love
i plan on summoning the aq again but i need all the research to do so if u have any thing to help me out plz contact me my name is tendorian im on the server gurbashi i need to know all the quest that connect to this fight to summon it or i will make the gm of gurbashi summon it for me if u wish to help me plz contact me
Holy shit. My friend was at AQ gates opening on Blackrock when he was like 13 lol, he still remembers it and was telling me about it. Vanilla was so fucking epic, all the guilds working together to open the gates...can't make MMO's like this anymore.
@zoneofthezero No way. 40 man raids were a bitch to organize and maintain. Too many AFKs, disconnects, lag, peeps getting left behind. 25 and 10 mans are better.
@zoneofthezero You are retarded. The hassle of trying to get 40 people together and then keep them coordinated and organize everyones roles was more of a pain then it was a game.
@zoneofthezero lmao 40man raids were annoying to get 40 ppl that know what there doing is hard if they bring 40mans back were just going to have to carry more people in raids
40 man's usually took a while there suppose to be guild only however i was in one ONY 40 pug and i puged some other stuff but back then pugging was a whole another thing
Ahn'Qiraj............. Molten Core......... Onyxia...... Black Rock Depth's...... Zul'Grub...... All memories form the past when cata comes out i hope they up these Raid's........... I remmember the old days of WoW my guild was the third on are server to Down ragnoras
blizz had the right idea with mass gathering events like this, after bc came out i lost interest and went to play eve online (like fleet battles like 1000+ people)
gotta say, vid was a 1/10 cuz u wimped out and didnt go leeroy on the monsters.. but the MUSIC made it 11/10! =D man i wish they did this nowadays, i healed ppl when it happened on alleria, was awesome, i never died once
I did a lot of healing as well, and I tried to hold back to film, since it was like 12 hours you can be sure I did some fighting and healing not seen.
There were NPC guards all over the place, in fact you had to pull the big bugs back there to get them to help if you wanted to kill them, at least we had to. We got the only one killed on our server, we tried the other two but just couldn't get it right.
Of course, so many people bitched, and whined, and moaned, and groaned about the zombie event, that it's unlikely anything that massive will happen again. Which is a real shame.
@Cyllid That was the greatest thing in WoW I have ever experienced. I'm so glad I was there. People literally took over cities and full zones. I couldn't go anywhere, which was kind of cool. I wish it would happen in Dalaran and kill off all the people that AFK and make it lag. Q.Q
ROFL allienaces racials are PVE oriented??? U use perception a lot in PVE ehh? nobody uses that shit arena...who needs imporoved stealth detection for pvp that sucks! rofl and orc racial more attack power but -50% healing recived is so pvp oriented rofl...
based on what jJenova said, the horde will always own alliance
we would win every BG if those bastards didnt hack (believe me, ive seen alliance obviously hacking. 2 seconds after the WSG started, draenei in our flag room (lvl 19). also, lvl 19 gnome always in sprint and vanishing at 19!!)
Lol private server. This was the event that opened up AQ40, it gave a ton of rep for the Brood that got peep a nice purple ring. It was incredibly special because AQ40 really changed the way raiding was perceived and was quite a bit harder than anything anyone had ever seen before.
hey i am an lvl 60 night elf hunter on the server thunderhorn i know a lot about world of warcraft aq stands for ahi qira and the event was 1 time server event named the gates of ahi qira so it wont come anymore and i was in the event but i didnt finished but i think nobody would let skip the event so blizzard knew they would win (the players) by the way it was great to be 1 time friends with the horde it is an shame if you missed it
lol my server crashed when AQ opened - allmost the whole server runned there to watch it ''even low lvls like lvl 1 ppl tryed to come there'' :S so the whole server crashed - and was queite laggy :P
hehe, Oh I died plenty don't doubt that. And when the big bug is on the road you can see me keel over at one point, I remember synching it close the word die in the song lyrics ;>b
And I most definately died when that big Egyptian looking fellow reached down and swatted me. I just faded to white to save everyone the horror. *shudders* Oh the horror!
It was pretty laggy but not as bad as that. Server only crashed twice early on, from then it was pretty steady. Well as steady as you could expect during an event like this.
