Oh this is a good thread.

On blizzards part - Dropping a bot on the stairs around vashj's room. Yeah, the only recourse was telling the slow and or not on vent people to type /tar field to find it. That was entertaining enough to warrant getting another bot from the mailbox ><

Frogger was one of the reasons that naxx and thaddius provided enough entertainment to not bash our heads on the desk until passout time. Snowballs were by far the single most entertaining thing to HELP our fellow raiders learn frogger. Of course the recruits who managed to successfully do frogger were summarily pelted on subsequent attempts to invoke the wrath of the raid leader or class leader in charge of them :]

Did everyone else also have 2-3 ressers wait right after frogger during gluth wipes?

Just in case anyone here is wondering yes you can pickpocket mags channelers, YES it does flash immune if they are not already engaged, and YES they do get angry when you do it.

Also, turns out that if you drop a bot over water, it sinks and you can't interact with it. Just FYI =)

I had a short-lived policy of one beer per death during Magtheridon learning attempts, I polished off half a Keystone boulder (boulder is 30!) before I was stricken from the raid, pretty sure I was unable to continue clicking boxes at that point.

The first time we killed Huhu, one of the Warlocks decided to check out what was down the next hallway with his Eye of Kilrogg. Needless to say more than one of those trash mobs at once is very unpleasant.

We had one of our tanks fall out of the bottom of Naxx while tanking a mob on the way to Razuvious. He was backed into a corner and then all the sudden he just started free falling until he went splat in EPL.

Learning shahraz I had intervene macroed so that it would target a healer we had outside the ranged stack who healed people who were FA'd farther away from shahraz. I could mash this macro and instantly shoot away from the FA'd clump to safety

About an hour into attempts the night of our kill we changed our strategy a little, swapping the outside healer into the stack and moving a different healer outside, but I didn't catch this and left my macro like it was. We were having a very smooth attempt and then I got FA'd at 20% :I


I did this twice in one night when we were learning mag. I was a channeler tank and would use the steam tonks to proc second wind before we started, and none of us could believe the tonks would start aggro. Gurg was getting really mad because he thought people were being retarded and autoattacking without owning up to it, but I tested it again after we were finished

No, but if I ever go back to AQ20, I'll give it the old college try. Isn't there more trash over there though? I'm not sure, it's been a while. I think the reason for the jump was so we didn't have to clear the extra trash.

While learning Lurker, rezzing people into the boiling water is a fun trick. If they are alert, they live, if not...

We do this quite a lot too. Once, we waited after Mag until loot was completely done then had 4-5 mages all open a portal to Exodar/Darnassus at the same time. I think only 1 person fell for it.

Another amusing one was on Razuvious. We had a mage who would wait until the last second before moving out of LoS of the mana burn. Another mage decided to pelt him with snowballs while he was moving back in.

There is a hole in the geometry of the stairs, so no one should have been able to repair.

Water will do the same thing, your best bet is to use the rock before the water.



Hunters' MD the wrong person is always good for a wipe or two .

 

• Marroc

I think it was one more pack of 3 bugs.

Honestly, I always made the raid clear it because our raid group was never good at 'jumping' things... Hence my original post about the ZG bridge.

 

• Fogbug

In MC a thunder bluff portal once opened while we were summoning people to magmadar or something and none of the mages would own up to it. I'm not sure we ever did solve that mystery

We have a druid with atiesh that still fools people into taking a karazhan port. It's pretty funny opening the guild tab and seeing deadwind pass next to a few people.

 

Cloak-SH

Thats why its funny, having people looking for it frantically since you can still target it without it being on screen.

Edit - do other guilds' warlocks often try to get soulshards off themselves on spell reflecting mobs, or at least have tried?

Our MT does this to see if healers are paying attention before we pull Lurker. I no longer heal him for it, and sometimes he gets below half before someone tosses him a heal. That's always encouraging for the night.

Die to Spout.

It baffles the mind.

We once got Al'ar to phase 2 with only two tanks, after one disconnected and the other had the sheet rock over his head collapse and pour hundreds of gallons of water onto him(?????). Then we wiped when one of them decided to taunt with Melt Armor on.

We once aggroed Chromaggus, and just Chromaggus, during wipe recovery after a Firemaw attempt. No one involved has any clue how, to this day.

In my previous guild, after nearly a month of learning Twin Emperors and wiping endlessly due to tank deaths and neutral bug aggro, our resident retard DPS warrior piped up "Does anyone know if demo shout aggros the bugs?"

He's still in that guild, but I'm not.

 

Cloak-SH

Spout falls under the same heading as left or right, very serious business.

Best thing to use back in the day on Frogger were snowballs, when they knocked people down. =]

 

Thrawnseg

We have just started (SSC our server is slow) and we were doing Hydross. Everyone was lining up to charge him when I was rotating my camara and typing "Stay away from the ledge" as I proceeded to back up and fall in. Of course, I died.

Then a paladin fell in trying to rez me. And a shaman fell in trying to heal the paladin.

So we all get rezzes and wouldn't you know it...the rezzers were right on the edge of the ledge. Hit accept, appear next to the priest, which happens to be in mid air and back into the water.

And at that crack by lurker, I think we lost 10-12 people the first time there.

Just last night actually. We trigger Kael'thas. Long boring introduction. Lets see how your nerves hold up against the darkener, Thaladred. Gaze on our MT, sweet. I run in to idly hit him, and he instantly changes targets.. to me.

That was somewhat embarrasing. I died about 10 seconds into a Kael attempt, on the most simplistic thing ever, and to top it off it was something I shouldn't have been doing in front of basically the entire guild.

Oddly enough i've never died to Thaledred before, but i've seen plenty of dumb folks fail to get out of the way. Walking right into it takes the cake.

BoPing the Main Tank is a clever thing to do.

I've pretty much only done two things (that I can recall!) that fall into the "stupid" category..

First was Searing Totem on Magtheridon before engaging. Was just zoned out mentally, heard a 'in 10..' call on vent, and cycled through my totems; wrath of air, mana spring.. searing totem, tremor totem. Fireball.. aggro.. wipe. Was sorta embarrassing.

Other was far, far worse. While learning Lurker, I'd put Water Walk on to rez a bunch of dead people who'd died to Spout (sigh..). We engage, going well, Spout happens. Back off to drop into the water and.. walk on it. I cursed out loud and scrambled to click the buff off. Alas, I was too slow. Died to Spout; I was ashamed. Thankfully I was able to ankh and get back into the fight. Was either our first kill or attempt before first kill.

Seen a -lot- of "stupid" stuff from guildies. Dropping off ledges in Kara, SSC.. VR makes me cringe due to stupidity from people. But the worst, bar none, is the first elevator in SSC. We have a walkthrough guide for it in our strategy forum for a reason. Not a night in SSC goes by where we don't have 5-6 deaths to the damned thing. Usually Paladins and Rogues; which makes it okay.

We also do the "kill the MCed person!" stuff. I've yet to die. I always Earth Shield myself for those pulls for a reason.. *Cough*

My guild learns Thaddius and as you know on some server it’s was almost impossible kill him or learn before 00:00 due heavy lag while charge is changing.

I stay on right platform with melee DPS and juts fall asleep, when i open eyes i was under platform and giggle in raid channel.

One time in ZG, we used priests to MC the mobs to aid in crowd control. So what does our Paladin do? DI's a Hakkari Soulpriest. And we wait an agonizing 3 minutes for DI to break so we can kill it.
