I [Heigan / Thaddius]

Post subject: I [Heigan / Thaddius] Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2006 08:09 AM

I have so much to say, and so very little time or space to say it, so I'll do it as quickly as possible. The hellscream hardware is completely shit (albeit not as bad as some servers), I'm sick and tired of not being able to cancel spells, I'm sick and tired of 5-30 second lag spikes that endlessly wipe raids on the easiest pulls (hell, we've seen people die to level 40 mobs during said lag). We've been told we got a "temporary hardware update" and it seems to help some, we got 8ish attempts on Thaddius before it started going completely haywire laggy on us (like in the video link I will post later on). The first 7 attempts today were >10% wipes, due to retardation of the game throwing people offline, and allowing them to blow people up (or they're not allowed to log in due to the shittiness of rendering an entire raid, boss, encounter and raid zone all at once). Once a person is thrown offline (due to the encounter), they are gone for good. Their character will usually sit idle for a good 1-2 minutes, where they have 2-4 changes at fucking that entire side of the raid with 2k dmg to everyone's face (which never fails). Our winning attempt had one of these linkdeaths, but it did not wipe us this time, we killed Thaddius with 8 seconds to spare (thanks casting/ability lag).

Heigan we didn't spend a lot of time learning, mainly due to "other things to do" holding us back, an AQ40 clear > shitless attempts at a lagged server (we had a night where making it through the gauntlet alone was difficult). After Thaddius lag kicked up today, we went back to get some work done on Heigan and papped him, first attempt in the last week. After killing him we sat idle in Ironforge for 50 minutes before zoning back to Naxx, but our zone still hadn't reset. Funny that half the skeletons in the zone were gone, but the ones we left when we decided to go to Heigan instead of continue on the lagged Thaddius were still there (very odd indeed). The lag nearly held us back again (as you can see in the video), but we overcame. The highlight of the Heigan kill is when my mouse starts going nuts running me in circles during "dance phase" of Heigan, and continues a while after the next phase starts.

I'd like to add, the Gluth video got an insane amount of feedback. I hear from people daily about the video and such, and I thank you all for your comments. If you are just browsing the KTF page and haven't seen it before, I will direct you its way, it seems it's the most enjoyed KTF video thus far.

Let me next express my growing hatred for Blizzard and their shitless attempt to make casual and raiders happy at the same time (even if they don't have the balls to come out and admit that's what the 25 man raid caps are actually for). What the fuck is your problem Blizzard? You really do often prove that you're completely ran by CEO's that have no idea about the game itself, and definately don't play the game. I feel bad for the devs and CMs at Blizzard, they are just like the ones at EQ, that have absolutely no control of anything going on inside those locked office doors. The ones calling the shots are the ones that don't have a clue. We have no problem with 25 man raid caps, had it been that way for the last fucking year. But you spit in our face, you shat where you eat. For the last 2 years thousands of guilds around the world have built and sustained their guilds centered around 40 man raids, only to be told they are going to have to cut people from their guild.

Here's a little something for you Blizzard, instead of trying to appease every fucking noob in one quick sweep, how about addressing your issues as they occur? ONE SINGLE 5 man instance over the last year and a half? ZERO 10 man instances over the last year and a half? TWO 20 mans and THREE 40 mans. I've got news for you, the people running 40 man raids are going to run 20 man raids, as well as 10 man groups, as well as 5 man groups. Your casual cry out for more content but you feed them nothing but bullshit that for some reason they think is going to be their ultimate savior, while in all reality it will crush them worse than the current 40 man zones do. I and no one else has problems with 25 man raid zones being introduced, but you fucking built your goddamed game around 40 people end-game content. You are now adding a new class that brings a lot to the table (for both factions), and you LOWER the fucking cap? THROW ME A BONE. Look how EQ was destroyed and ignored about LDoN. I was there, this guild was there, and even your developers were there, yet you still make the most retarded decision in the history of any MMO (not the first time its happened obviously.

I come to play with these people, this guild, and any other friend I may make along the way. MMOs transgressed past a video game long ago, and became a large social game where you build friendships you could never have anywhere else. You're telling us that we have to alter everything we've been doing for so long and tell some of our friends to quit? Fuck you. I'm here for them, and they're the ultimate reason I play this game 18-20 hours a day you assholes. There is no such thing as recruiting to run a second raid, there will always be retarded constraints holding back the second group, and endless drama because the first group will be able to progress at the normal rate, while the second one is "second best". Rethink your fucking actions, goddamit, I'm so fucking pissed.

Now that that's out of my system, even if the KTF boards aren't frequented by any amount of people that matters, I wanted to get it out there. Here's some fun things, to help negate the retardation that is Blizzard CEO HQ.
