- DI Razorgore... awesome wipe.
- Explaining pull, running through the motions while explaining, hitting ability he is telling another to use, thus starting the fight. (Happened on maiden)
- The amount of times my warrior has been BoP'd while tanking is amazing.
- Piccilo of Flaming Fire interrupts MC on orb for Razorgore. I still to this day have no understand of why we found this out.
- "It's just a trash pull, let's just wing it." /death

Words can't describe how amazed I was at this gem:

I was in a run-of-the-mill raiding guild long before BC, and we were setting up for Baron Geddon. Being the spineless guild that we were, we let our MT's wife bring her under-geared BM spec hunter Qrystal along (remember, this was BM before it was good).

We explain the bomb concept, and send a pet in for the pull. The fight seems to be going well, and then I see a big CTRA message warning QRYSTAL IS THE BOMB!

I turn my screen over to Qrystal standing there, swirling red flames burning all around her. Everyone over TS is shouting "QRYSTAL MOVE!!"

/Feign Death
/BOOM

She killed 4 people in that single Feign, and still had the cajones to ask us to stop swearing over TS so much later that night.

Yesterday we had one of our paladins hit the Windows key to alt-tab to browse something.

It somehow made him run straight up the stairs and into Lady Vashj while we were buffing.

Oh, I have that beaten so hard. We had a druid blow up the raid at Geddon because she was busy RP-cybering with someone in Stormwind. Proven by her hitting /r and oopsing the next sentence of smut to the RL who whispered asking her what the hell was going on.

I think the bouts of laughter following that one might've been more shameful than actually exploding in the middle of the raid.

From that night on, there was a special award, named after the druid in question, awarded to whoever caused the most retarded wipe of the evening.

We snomballed people on Golemaggs bridge.... once.

I know what you guys mean, but all this snowballing talk is hilarious.

I really hope AV comes again with hard packed snowballs this winter.
Oh so sweet memories.

Way back in summer 2005 (with my old guild), we had 2 warriors who more or less arbitrarily traded off as MT (neither was actually Prot, of course) in MC. One of them was a fairly quiet guy who would occasionally crack jokes, and the other was the quick-to-anger type who was often moderately drunk during raids. One night, through the normal course of Vent conversation, they discovered that they each had a sizeable amount of recently-purchased alcohol available. Naturally they decided to have a drinking contest -- whenever one of them died, he had to take a shot.

The fatal flaw in their plan was that they announced their game over Ventrilo, where all the healers could hear. After an hour or so the usually-drunk tank was not noticeably altered, whereas the 'nice guy' was literally talking nonstop, blathering about random shit, and never quit laughing.

A few hours into the raid we're pulling Geddon only to find that the guy who was supposed to be tanking is no longer at the keyboard. I think someone ended up tanking in DPS gear, and about 90 minutes later we were treated to this [paraphrased] gem on vent: "Heyyyy guys sorry I was *RETCH*" and he was offline for the rest of the night. I think the other guy kept going, despite his victory.



Several months ago we took a mage app to Karazhan, the night was running rather long as we decided to do a full clear and started a tad late. As we began clearing the flesh beasts after the Chess event, I said on vent "Hey XY don't forget to pick up your quest upstairs on the left!" For those who haven't explored this particular avenue of Karazhan, attempting to enter Medivh's study will immediately aggro two very angry flesh beasts who will happily devour whoever decided to open the door. Unfortunately several other people there didn't know about it either, and they managed to train aggro and wipe us (our healers were among those closest to the door, I was wisely keeping my distance, and the other tank was AFK). The app made it, but not everyone was as amused as I was.

Two weeks ago I did the same thing to a guildmate who wasn't there for the first incident. He said something along the lines of "Oh really?", dutifully ran up to open the door, and was eviscerated. This time there was only one person in the raid less amused than I was

Back in the Molten Core days, we were clearing through the zone fairly slowly and starting to worry about trash repops for when we'd run back to Ragnaros - as a result, we were trying to encourage everyone to hurry up and not go afk until after we'd gotten to Rag's Lair if they could help it at all.

Out of the blue, our MT disconnects, but we had a decent number of warriors with tanking gear (of course, none of them were protection) and so we kept going clearing trash and told the guy to log back in as quickly as he could. About thirty seconds later, we hear the MT on Ventrilo: "Uh, guys. Blizzard says I need to change my character's name because it was reported as being offensive."

We had a huge laugh at his expense, but then he proceeded to spend the next 20-30 minutes trying to decide on what his new character name should be while we got more and more irritated and started yelling "Just pick something for now, we'll report you for another offensive name and you can change it again later."

Not a pve-story, but i thought it was quite hilarious..

A few weeks ago, we had a conversation like this in our guild-chat :

Player A : How do i disband an arena-team ?
Player B : ./disband 2vs2
Player C : FUCK !!!!!!!

Turns out B just forgot a "." ...

A nice MC-moment from my first raiding guild.

On Gehennas we usually did a paladin-bubble-pull - giving plenty of time for people pealing of their targets.

It was not the first time for this pala doing it - after like 2-3 months of full MC's we'd done it loads of time. She's playing on a notepad using a touchpad as mouse - this is a pretty good hint on her average performance.

So - she's standing there at the slope ready to do the pull. The tanks are also there ready to grab their targets - most stuff have been sorted etc. DPS is standing up the hill ready to rock on the target beeing pulled to them. Then, for some reason I've forgotten, the RL cancels the pull and calls everyone back to the DPS-camp - buffs missing or something similar I guess.

Now this happens, and picture it in slow motion because thats how I see it infront of me:

The tanks turns around and runs to DPS camp.

The paladin runs towards DPS camp starting a WIIIDE keyboard-moving arc slowly and surely turning her 180 degrees around heading straight back into Gehennas and pulls him.


WHAT .... THE.... FUCK! Was basically heard on vent.


It was just the most amazing moment and my best MC/fuckup-memory by far. At that time I couldn't really laugh about it but today it's a precious gem that still make me laugh untill I cry.

Anyways - her explanation was pretty simple: "Sorry guys - I sort of got disoriented and forgot where I was" and I swear to god you could hear 39 people doing a joint /forehead at the same time.

After watching the Rag Dolled video, my 3v3 team decided to start putting raid icons over our heads, to help with LOS issues and such. I'm a rogue, and thus have one button to click in the minute prep time, so I was made leader to put the icons on. From my raid leading days, F1-F10 are the raid icons, so I click myself and try to make myself the star.

I hit 1, 2, then 3. Adrenaline rush, Blade flurry, and evasion. Amazingly we still won. Nerf locks.

Another time, in Naxx, shortly after joining a new guild, I was messing with bars and put my sinister strike macro on my tool bar. First trash pull, I can't quite figure out whats going on, but I'm not using any energy. Someone starts laughing on vent, and I look at raid chat to see I've been spamming my "Join Teampseak" macro, a 4 line macro, once every .5 seconds. We had a good laugh about it.

Stories about other people would take too long to tell.

I had some really stupid moments.

back in Onyxia times I kept using tremor totem on non-tank groups in phase 3 which wiped us for most of an evening. nobody ever noticed.

at my first visits to Ragnaros, my hardware was really WEAK. and I really mean it. 1-3 fps during combat in a 40 man raid. I never made it to the other side of the lava pool during sons phase (was on the inner platform buffing melee)

back several months ago I was doing Karazhan on my shammy (resto), after a few annoying wipes on Nightbane we start another attempt... NB lands, tanks grabs him, takes a spike of damage... and at the time I must've thought it's smart to open a fight with a max rank big heal. so after the damage spike my Healing Wave lands and crits for over 6k, all of this like 3 seconds into the fight or such, I get aggro, he does his breath, everyone dies, tank last. I think that's the fastest NB wipe I've ever experienced.


I took a 3 month break and got back recently with my rogue as my main now. so Karazhan again, Prince Malchezzar. after 3 months I didn't actually recall the actual mechanics of the fight, didn't do my homework there (also never did melee on that boss before). first enfeeble and shadow nova comes, I die. I get battlerez, next enfeeble + shadow nova, I die. I get another battlerez, this time I run out of shadow nova! right into an infernal's hellfire. I die.
either the 3rd druid didn't have brez ready or he didn't deem me worthy to use it ;-)

Players using wireless keyboard/mouse that battery run out during the fight.

I think we've done most of the things listed in this thread, but one of my favourites was back on Nefarian.

About half way through phase 2, and suddenly there's an aggro steal. I shout, I curse, shadow flame on the raid...

And then just as we're ressing, the MT says 'You know, those Limited Invulnerability pots have a very similar icon to the Flask of the Titans...'

Turns out he didn't flask pre-pull. . .

We had spent a bad night in SSC, leaving morogrim, Fathomlord and Leo up. So the next day we go to morogrim (skipping the first naga pack at the T-intersection), and clear. We run back down through morogrims room for vashj and i notice i have a priest AFK auto-following me.

So, like any good mage i pop invis and run through the middle of the pack standing at the intersection.

Turns out, the priest had 3 people auto-following him and a large portion of the raid was close enough to us that they got prox aggro.

Good stuff.

I managed to accidentally leave a conjured mana ruby in the bank on a raid day.

Well I have a hilarious story that our RL was telling us during an MC raid back in the day, but it's not really WoW-related. Is that still fair game for this thread?

If it happened in WoW and it's funny or stupid, it's fair game

Hah, fair enough.

Well our RL pre-BC was this bigtime womanizer type. Worked out all the time, played girls left and right, and made sure he told everyone about it.

During one of our Molten Crawls, he decided to tell us a bit about his trip to Boston (he's from So-Cal).

He began telling us about two cute Asian girls, Amy and her friend, that he met at one of the clubs there. He and Amy were clicking pretty well and talking/flirting over several drinks. Through much smooth-talking, he had convinced her to come back to his hotel room, and her friend decided to come along. Yea, the greedy bastard was going for the two-fer...

As we were approaching Golemagg, he continued telling us that the three of them began fooling around on the bed a bit, and Amy's friend said she needed to use the restroom, so our RL and Amy were there by themselves. Of course he is thinking "Move in for the kill", but he didn't expect what happened next...

Amy's friend comes out of the bathroom and says to Amy that she needs to go. Our RL did everything he could to convince them to stay, but Amy and her friend left our poor RL hangin' there high and dry. So, he passed out.

Later he got up to go to the bathroom, and found a heaping pile of poo on the floor between the toilet and the bathtub. If memory serves, he had to use a magazine or newspaper to pick it up and throw it in the toilet, but we were too busy laughing our asses off at that point to recall much more.

And conveniently, this was around the time of Snakes on a Plane, so our poor RL became the butt of many Hot Snakes in the Bathroom jokes...

Then Golemagg died. (WoW related!)
