In regards to Sarth 0:

Our guild really wanted to get ‘of the Nightfall’ and we wanted it the real way. No zerging for us. We tried and tried and wiped and wiped. People started getting tired, so we said the hell with it and ‘cheated’ by zerging. So we got our emblems and our title/achieve. The fight took..what? 75 seconds? The trash is laughable now, so also fast.

If only we had managed a true kill as it was meant to be. But alas, another time perhaps. Sarth +3 is still a tough fight, even for a good team of people who know what they are doing. Good luck getting it to all!

Yep, the breeding ground of the virus currently infecting the heroics

Yeah I think they did it for conveiniece and let’s face it, if you are running it with a regular group it makes sense to skip to the better boss.

It also makes sense to wipe on the hard boss and not get saved, so you can try later with a better group.

It’s just a same that people don’t apply the same time:emblem ratio to VoA that they do to the randoms.

One wipe won’t delay to much, at least wait until the 2nd wipe before /ragequitting.

To be honest, VoA has always been the place to spot the One-Wipe Pansies since Emalon was released. It was also always the place with some of the nastiest pugs I’ve ever seen. Very little tolerance for anything other than ‘uber play’, likely because people always expected to be able to get in and out in 15 minutes, and anything worse was unacceptable.

Hmm, sounds a lot like the view of heroics with the random pug tool.

In all honesty, I think this was what blizzard designed the encounter to do, since they don’t even pretend (till the next boss) that you should do any first, archavon? way in the back, when emalon launched? look he’s first on the right, the way most people are inclined to go, koralon? look he’s right across from emalon and you don’t have to do anything new to get to him really. They said ‘here, we’ll put these on the way to archavon, just in case for giggles you decide to do him’

if they’d made it more linear and forced you to do the easier bosses first, I think it would have been better, you can usually tell on archavon who could cut koralon or not, and……I mean, people wouldn’t get nearly as upset coming in with archavon down, than they would with koralon down.

Krizz has such a way with words doesn’t he.

BTW, I think your appearance on TNB yesterday was one of, if not the best TNB I have had the pleasure of listening to… and I was in the audience (damn shame I wasn’t in your lounge room – I’ll make it down soon to partake in some of the best coffee in the world!)

actually… Having a LAN over the weekend 29-31st if you want to drop over.

lol. We all like a surprise from time to time… Right?

I’m honored to be in your favorites category, it can be hard some times to keep up with bloggers outside of our class/role group… There are so many great bloggers within this group and I’ll be the first to admit that more often than not I am catching up on BBB a month at a time.

But then… Well it’s like a movie marathon… All the best of my favorites back to back…

Pass the popcorn, I’m catching up on The Bear!

Mmmm why is it dicks are responsible for 99% of all abortions…

What is it they say… “Thinking with your dick”. When you are 100% dick there is no hope.

I’ve guided at least one newbie tank through instances (pre LFD). I was a new healer once and got through because tanks were prepared to wear a repair bill to get new healers into the system and the least I can do is return that favour.

Just like DPS, dicks are a dime a dozen!
