well Onyxia was ''ment''' to be 40 man , its been done by 8 or was it 7?

Seeing as they keep gimping these raid bosses because they're too hard initially, I won't be surprised when Ragnaros is downed by a small group.

A group in China 6-Manned her.

This was done by the Paladin stacking glitch, I heard about it.

A skilled paladin could have solo'ed any instance before Blizzard fixed it.

Acturly it was hordes

That was a private server, I saw the video. Asian countries do host those, and there's excessive use of "questionable" game mechanics in them.

Does it make sense to you that six characters could take Onyxia down in about 10 or so minutes, when a full raid takes twelve? Even with full twink gear, that should verge upon the impossible with the N. American public servers, which are more maintained. I smell some serious bugging/exploits.

6-Man
40-Man

Suspicious time difference there.

its not just asians that have done it , its happend on official servers aswell maybe not down to 6, but below 10 im sure

Nope, otherwise there'd be more machinamas. I browsed Google on those achievements, and the 6-man was the lowest. All the logs I read were failed attempts; an 8-man managed to get her to about 50% before her fear spell turned things sour.

well hears MC done in a few mins by a norweagan guild

MC done quicker

Also it's all about game play iv'e seen a fully twinked (19)up hunter bring down a lvl 35 hunter without pots or the pet dying or even getting to half health.

And i myself got a lvl 35 druid in cat form down to 2% health before they ran, this was when i was a lvl 26 lock.

This is all an example of how stratagy can overcome gear or can be more important than gear.

/bump for good measure

so what is everyone's opinions on the lore of this game so far?... do tell 🙂

It seems to conflict with the previous games somewhat.

No, the paladin was decked out in judgement

And what was the shaman wearing? Details, details!

Right, right.

If you haven't figured out by now, the Paladin is not the first into battle. The warriors are. Paladins are figureheads as much as they are battlers, while warriors are just full out decked for combat. First one in. Last one out. Hence, the term "support".

- "Pally Horde" ?... I just dont think blood elves deserve "Pally" with all their demonism... orcs would make better pallys IMO... they have a lil thing called Honor..

No, you're wrong. Their "demonism" was used for what they thought was right. They were judged against by their own faction, while the Horde accepted them. A terrible thirst for magical energy does not make them demons, it doesn't make them go around slaying willy-nilly.

Warlocks are a better example of "demonism". Steal Soul. Blood Pact. And yet you see them getting along chummily with the Paladins, no?

Orcs? Hahahaha! Pure orc magic is solely of the natural world, and the spirits within. Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Wilds. While some delve into demonic energies. If you had bothered to read Lord of the Clans, you would understand. They believe in nothing Holy and they never will. And just because they're addicted to honor doesn't make them Paladin-worthy. Think of a modern day Pope, twenty years younger with rippling muscle, plate armor, and a warhammer. That's a Paladin. A paladin is as much a holy priest as he is a fighter, sometimes more so. It's pretty obvious if you look at some of the different names between the warrior and paladin armor sets. Valor, Heroism. Lawbringer, Judgement.

Why do you think some orc NPC's say "Strength and Honor!" when you click on them? The warrior class is their favourite.

- Of course you'd view a differing opinion as Anti-wow.. perhaps you should work for blizzard, possibly gathering brownie points from the mods along the way as well, hmm?

No. I view your opinions as anti-WoW. That's right, plural. Why? Because all I've seen you say about this game and all I've remembered you saying about this game, is negative. You've branded yourself the Official WoW Pessimist.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen you pipe out a good opinion of a game since....I can't even remember. Does that tell you anything about the impressions you hand out?

Ah, the old "accusatory suck up" cliche. Am I a Blizzard mod suck up, just because I'm loyal to the way the game is meant to be played? No. I'd keep my same opinion whether I worked for Blizzard or not.

Don't try and avoid the subject. If it's "moot", why is it not worthy of discussion? Just because you find the subject "silly" doesn't make it completely irrelevant and stupid. You haven't even explained why this subject annoys you in the first place. Efficiency, efficiency.

- Pallys dont fight for 'whatever' they think is right.. thats called a death knight, or scarlet paladin.. what is "right" is dictated by the light..not your personal goals

No, you're wrong. The Death Knight doesn't fight for what he thinks is right. He fights for what he craves. And that's power.

You missed one catch on the Scarlet Paladin. What is 'right' is dictated by the light? That's only for what their 'light' stands for. Which is why they retained their 'Holy' powers in the first place. Take modern day religion, there's only one God, but you have Roman Catholism, Protestants, etc. Paladins in different causes are very much the same.

Anyways, the automatic assumption that all Paladins are 'good' is just naive. You have religious wars going on even today; even if they're confined to the boardrooms instead of the battlefields. Why shouldn't it be similar in the WoW?

- Honestly the two of you are the ones who blew it out of proportion.. I made a simple statement of my dislike.. and the both of you felt the need to pile on me for it... I shouldnt reply?.. tsk

- To keep this to the point.. if you wish to reply just rez the other wow thread, so as not to continue 'this' in this particular thread 🙂 since it apparently angers so many people (i.e. you and your scout)


Don't be so ridiculous. Go check in the WoW Guild Thread before, you said something, Vinny replied, you continue to spread pessimism in a thread made for a guild, who appreciate WoW.

And you told me to keep it in the WoW general thread when you so obviously posted in the Guild thread after I told you to keep it here?

Try not to be such a hypocrite. And he's a Grunt now.

Oh, and it's not just us you're annoying.

That's right, they do...and they do so because of people who play the game as is and don't b*tch about some nerfing or other. It's pointless and stupid whining about some aspect in WoW you can't even change.

And no, I don't see you posting suggestions in the WoW Forums. One, I never go there in the first place, and two, I was under the impression that you were permanently banned.

Considering that they were adapting a real-time strategy game plot into a MMORPG, they still did a fine job.

Can't always have your cake and eat it too.

I was at first very intrigued by the idea of BE being able to be Paladins, and Draenei Shaman. Though, the more I think about it, the more I'm not liking it. It hurts lore, and ultimately, it hurts the gameplay. Plus, it's going to destroy faction numbers. People can be Alliance AND Shaman? Horde numbers are going to drop, big time. Plus it's just stupid from a lore perspective. Why the hell would Blood Elves be Paladins? Sats is right, they're demonic, they don't worship the light.

I love that last line.

It brings balance to the gameplay. Why would horde numbers drop exactly? What's happened to make the Alliance suddenly seem more appealing?

No, that's just being narrow-minded. Remember, an entire race is not bound to just one ideology. Look at the orcs, for instance. You have Orc Warlocks, Orc Shamans, and they're serving the same cause, the same motive. Why can't some Blood Elves be that way, be a bit different? That's how the Blood Elves, originally the High Elves came into being. They were once the Highborne(royalty-ish) class of Night Elves. It's not like the entire BE race is bound to just being a mage or a warlock.

Guess not.

I don't have much time for a long post but this is what 'm going to say:

The World of Warcraft staff had been getting lots of Emails asking why a Paladin couldn't be on Horde, and Shamen on Alliance. Well this fits together you see? Darkc is right, they weren't always bad, but they are extremely power hungry which makes them a somewhat "horde" They don't need to like the undead or orc, but they are going for most power. And a Paladin is a good choice. But I also agree with what someone else said, They should have made a Death Knight or something, that would have been a bit more interesting, but it doesn't seem to fit with Blood Elves. So, They are just making the game more all around, which is going to make PVP Much harder,esspicoally since its cross server now. So, its not really hurtting the WoW Community by giving Pallys to BE and Shamen to Alliance because most people want it that way.
