  • Arthas's death

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

The whole Lich King seems to be a straight out of FFX with how they had to deal with Sin, except the guy who is the next Sin was controlled by Yu Yuvon from the start. You'd think they can just have the next Lich King order all the undead to kill themselves and then they can kill the new Lich King and now there isn't any undead left to mess up the world, before the new Lich King invariably gets corrupted again.

Wouldn't this be like the fourth time Arthas died Eric? =P

Err, no? Arthas never died.

I thought I killed him at least twice in Warcraft III.

Clearly you should play again!

Speaking of RTS, SC2's beta should be starting this week.

Not too surprised the video has been removed, considering its major spoilers for a boss I dont think anyone has killed yet.

Come to think of it, isn't Arthas like the only guy to become a Death Knight without actually dying?

Yes, yes he is.

Drama over the first Arthas kill apparently, the guild unknowingly exploited the encounter(Because Blizzard's QA testers quite frankly suck), which resulted in the entire guild being banned.

Of course considering WoW's former lead dungeon designer originally came from WoW, the rant at the end is a bit of a parody of his own rant on EQ(Scroll to the bottom)

Tigole was like a nobody who happened to lead a guild where some important guy in Blizzard was playing and got his job by giving that guy a bunch of raid loots. He doesn't even have the good rants. Furor's '14 days until I leave EQ' was a much better rant. Someone should've done a parody of that.

This was way back in Classic when the latest raid had 2 unkillable bosses.

The best part was when Furor saw it and responded. :P

*2 days later a hotfix goes life making them both killable*

Was there another rival guild doing '14 days until soandso leaves WoW' at the same time? That was what made the 14 day rant pretty funny because there was a countdown to when Furor leaves EQ on another guild that actually beat the stuff before FoH did.

This is already a 15 minute or so fight, and the heroic version of the fight has 103 million HP, up from 60 million HP. *Sob*

I don't think MMORPG makes a good spectator E-Sports.

I'd rather play Diablo 3, but since its timeline seems to be 'sometime after Starcraft 2 is done' who knows when might that be.

Whaaaat, so you liked Diablo over SC? I never knew that. I mean it's always hard to tell what YOU like Don, but I just thought. :P

I like the SC use map setting games more than the main game itself, but it's kind of hard to find anything worthwhile since people always have a gazillion different and totally imbalanced version of any good UMS games.

And finally, the kill of the Heroic(Hard Mode) Lich King fight.

Easily the hardest fight in WoW's history and longest, beating out the length of the normal mode easily(They hit the enrage timer). Only 2 kills in the world, today on April 11th, and last month on March 26th. It took a 5% boast to Health/Healing/Damage for the first kill, and even with a 10% buff the next week, nobody else killed it until today. :o
