Our first time on hakkar we got the add, killed it, and this guy starts spamming cleanse like a maniac. 2, 3, 4 attempts go by and NOT ONE SINGLE poison got past his machine-gun cleansing. Everybody is yelling in chat (no vent; ah, vanilla, I miss you) Stop cleansing! FFS!! STOP CLEANSING!!! He knew his duty and would not be disuaded - hero Druid CLEANSE ALL then dance XDChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528041261411665995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-5187322916030522922012-02-08T23:11:15.569-06:002012-02-08T23:11:15.569-06:00In the original fight players died a lot, not by a...In the original fight players died a lot, not by an outright one-shot, but by other mechanics, such as one where you'd watch you and if you looked at him the wrong way, he'd run over and give you and everyone around you a good smack. This tended to kill people. And then he'd level up.<br /><br />If you want gimmick, oh man... The original final boss was Hakkar and to beat him you had to drag a trash mob over, similar to now, except rather than waiting for a slam, you instead had to time the kill just right so that when it died and left a puddle of poison behind, you could all stand in it before Hakkar drained the entire raid's health. Success hurt him a lot. Failure healed him a lot. Getting the poison too soon just hurt you a lot. Poison cleansing totem was a problem.<br /><br />The fight is gone now, but there used to be a boss, a trio really, who had to be killed within a short time of each other, maybe 10-15 seconds, and who also healed each other and if they were not killed close enough together, would res the others. So kill one, kill the next, but if the last isn't dead in time, the first is back up again.<br /><br />To prevent players from bee-lining to the last boss, the other bosses, except Jindo (he used to be where Zanzil is) and Broodlord, would give him ridiculously dangerous new abilities, such as killing everyone, mind-controlling everyone, and healing himself for insane amounts of health.<br /><br />Also the old edge of madness required some extra effort, as in, rare ingredients for a rare potion that not all alchemists even knew how to use. And still being random, they dropped an item needed for a class set, part of which came from voodoo piles which would mind control players.<br /><br />It was a giant gimmick and I loved it.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-22571049358474800002012-02-08T19:25:09.249-06:002012-02-08T19:25:09.249-06:00we had four or five failed body slams
Wow, that p...<i>we had four or five failed body slams</i><br /><br />Wow, that place has really been de-fanged. The way I remember Jindo, two or more failed slams pretty much guaranteed a wipe.<br /><br />I really disliked the overly-gimmicky fights in ZG [was the level 60 version this gimmicky?] <i>especially</i> Raptor guy. I want to punch the face of the guy who though killing the players over and over would be a fun mechanic.Coreushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258450322199352185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-54518810334678624942012-02-08T09:28:32.228-06:002012-02-08T09:28:32.228-06:00I love the Broodlord fight.
