Black War Bear

We tried to kill the Thunderbluff guy last night with 40 fully sunwell geared players. We got him to 60% or so before we were overwhelmed by horde players. Almost nothing could hit him and he has a knock back which resets aggro.
 
Ya, for Thunderbluff we brought in 6 or so tanks. You have to have them all simultaneously taunt when he drops aggro. We had two Ret Paladins and 2 Mages on horde control. They could barely make it in the door.

We nailed all 4 in 1 night. All one shot. Was a lot of fun.

Now it is time to get "Battlemaster".

edit: Kill order was - Thunderbluff, Orgrimaar, Undercity, Shithole. - If your raid can kill leader of Thunderbluff, then the spirits are high and people will move on.

Well there's one problem for our server.

Lag. If you go with one raid, you will get wiped by 100 horde (no joke, even in Thunder Bluff etc). If you bring more, you will have unbearable (10 second) lag, meaning you will be wiped by laggy mages jumping around with AE going off every minute or so.

Some horde did it. Really late at night with about 4 raid groups of people from P V E raid guilds. I was amazed the server didn't crash, but only 20 or so alliance actually showed up at the IF king and only a few actually had the balls to run in and AE (even though it's almost impossible to be killed). It took them at least and hour to kill him. I was doing some arenas and did an 8 minute game and came out with 2% difference on his health. I did get a couple hundred HKs though.

Oh the woes of a high population PVP server with 4:1 horde to alliance ratio :)

And forget about doing more than one boss at a time.
 
We did it with a single 40man raid. Made sure to keep it on the down low and only brought in 40 of the most skilled players.

You have to turn your spell effects completely down in order to not lag crazily. I have a pretty nice computer and I wasn't really lagging, at least not locally.

Of course when you have a few hundred people in the zone the server will lag, but it just wasn't an issue thankfully.

I don't understand the obsession with getting the silly mount before 80.

My e-peen is 2 inches bigger with all the people riding on my cock through Alterac Valley. All the people who "don't care" are just jealous they cannot acquire one. And the fact that I will have a few months and more people on the jock while leveling.

The whole point of this game is to get the best shit as quick as possible.

And grats Mistake :)

Killing the 3.0 horde leaders is defiantly the hardest content in game until tomorrow. We might make one more push at it tonight but if we don't get it I don't mind waiting till 80. I got the ZA bear when it first came out and was actually kinda difficult.
 
When I first read this thread I scrolled down and thought I saw colosus pic at the bottom and was wondering why it was there.



Then I scrolled over.

 
I'm on Garona, a PvE server, and some person always thinks it's funny to tip off the alliance side, who already outnumber horde 3:1.

We were in Stormwind and a bunch of rogues walked up to our remaining tanks and simultaneously dismantled them. We had him at 37% with 60 people and it went downhill from there.

Bah, going to try again soon.

Try it on a populated PVP server.

The top horde raiding guild (on a server with 25:1 horde to alliance ratio) brought about 12 other raid groups to kill the IF king. I think they had tried a few times already too.

And you don't get graphics lag... it's server lag.

Thanks for leaving out the next line -- GG out of context.

And I transferred from Frostmane last month, after playing there since release (well after Frostwolf xfers), I know all about PvP on PvP servers.

The thing is, when you enter a horde town, you are all flagged, and they can & will attack, so your arguement of "If it was on a PvP server" doesn't fly. They had all the opportunities in the world to try and stop us, and didn't. In fact, it was made even easier for the horde to stop us given that we could not preemptively kill them until they flagged.

PS: Lightbringer has queue times to join the server, so it doesn't get much more populated then that.

PPS: Lightbringer had the #1 5v5 in the battle group so trying to say we don't PvP or know how to is lame. The ONLY thing PvP servers offer now days is a chance to be ganked while doing dailies.

When I joined Frostwolf it was because the ONLY PvP was massive battles in Southshore, but after the implementation of all the battlegrounds and basically killing world PvP, there is no point other then to be annoyed. I leveled the hard way on a PvP server, I know the issues, and they have been completely minimized now. There is little to nothing that a PvP server can offer to me now.

Back in the day when rolling in 8/8 Nightslayer made you the shit and wrecking fools was fun, PvP servers were worth it. But after all Blizzard has done to separate the two, and completely nullify my hard work in PvE, I don't want the headache when I am doing PvE. Of course I have full PvP gear set as well, but if Blizzard is going to do everything it can to seperate the two, then I don't see why I need to fight it. I will just enjoy PvE when I want PvE, and PvP when I want PvP.

Instead I will get 2k+ in the Arena, while being Battlemaster, and doing dailies without the headache. If the horde want to set up a massive world PvP battle, be my guest, and I will be on the front lines.

2 ret paladins and 2 mages on horde control? Sounds like you had quite a resistance!

I got summoned out to thunder bluff yesterday right as a raid was pulling. By the time he was at 75% or so there were about 60 horde there.

But ret paladins and mages ARE pretty OP right?

Were the 5 people who know how to PVP on your server there?

You pretty much summed it up for me. All of the people on the server are afraid of being bothered by a pesky little thing called PVP. Why be annoyed by the opposite faction in your own city when you can just stand and watch?

Sorry I can't hold back my anger I'm so jealous of your PVE accomplishment on a PVE server.
 
It was kind of a pain on Skullcrusher (PvP), the ratio is pretty even I believe so the Alliance came in full force the first night we rode on Ironforge. It jumped from 30-40 Alliance to 60 or 70 in a matter of minutes.

We also crashed the server attempting the King in Stormwind the first night. Fun stuff.
 
Yes, Ret paladins are THAT overpowered.

You are blaming US for the horde being pussies and not attacking us? That is not my fault, regardless of what server you are on. The only thing being on a PvP server would have accomplished is me getting more HK's in the horde city.

Face it, regardless if it was on a PvP server or not, IT WAS A PVP EVENT. We were all flagged, it was just like being on a PvP server, they just didn't step up.

You are trying to argue with me when I played on a PvP server for 4 years. You and your argument are retarded. Just because you can get ganked while doing the Skettis escort does not make you better then me. In fact, I am sure I am superior to you in all ways. If you would like to try and compare PvP or PvE achievements please feel free.

Or I can just beat your ass in a Battleground, whatever your choice is, scrub.
 
The fact that you only had 4-5 people on PvP control kinda takes away from it, at least it would for me, as we had a good 15-20 Mages, Warlocks, etc on Alliance-control at the door.
 
We just raped them before they could assemble correctly.

Thunderbluff - They can't make it past the door
Undercity - Long corridor to stop them
Ogrimaar - Fuck, they just kept coming
Shithole - No point

The only reason it took 5 of us was because we were smart in killing them off. We have been wiped previously in Undercity. We just used the proper tactics this time and got it done.

It was not down to a lack of horde trying to stop us, they just didn't this time. We wiped in Undercity & Ogrimaar for the past two weekends.

zomg not tactics~ There were only 40 of us, putting any more on horde control would kill the DPS and our chances of killing them before reinforcments showed up. And then we would portal out and go onto the next city before the horde had time to readjust.

And my challenge is extended to anyone who is able to set up a meeting in my battlegroup - I will fight and destroy any of you, cheap ass ret paladins included.

There's been three or four horde raids on Mal'Ganis that have done it so far, don't think any alliance have been able to do the same. They've all taken place very early in the morning, 4 am or so and have met little to no resistance.
