World of WarCraft video: Onyxia slain

[Kouler]

Hey, I saw this video today.
http://www.fileplanet.com/150533/150000/fileinfo/World-of-Warcraft---Discordia-Onyxia-Kill
A guild called Discordia legitimately killed the Onyxia (the most powerful NPC in the whole game). This is a video of them doing it. Pretty cool.

Onyxia (the most powerful NPC in the whole game).

for now...

Two of our early raids will be Onyxia, a full-fledged dragon, and the god of fire Ragnaros. Ragnaros will be a higher-tiered raid boss than Onyxia, but players can access both early on. Ragnaros will just be more difficult to beat.

not sure when they're introducing this ragnaros guy

oh and i tried to download the video twice yesterday but it cut short both times so i couldn't get it

I admit that I'm not into MMORPG's but I dabble in the odd RPG. The video was just really boring and uninteresting. I am sure that if I had wow this would be far more wow (pun intended) Not all the players are from that clan and also the last 3rd is just the group dancing, which is hardly worth putting in.

Ragnaros is already in the game. AFAIK the farthest anyone has gotten his health down to is 97%. He supposed to be twice as hard as Oxynia as well.

I really want to fight Oxynia just to so I can buy the Tee Shirt and say "been there, done that". Don't care about defeating it, but just want to have the experience of wiping. I'm 3 quests away from getting the key to Oxynia's lair.

Wow they slayed Oxynia a long time ago. My friend who's been playing since WoW came out (he got to level 60 in exactly 2 weeks) has killed it. From what he tells me the final boss in MC is actually harder than Oxynia.

Maybe it's for the EU version which has been out for not even a month.

I saw the video where they got it down to 60% at which it started to fly and wiped everyone out in a few seconds.

Which level is it again?

 

[The Monkey]

It seems like everybody here has got WoW. Is it really worth $15/month? I still don't believe it.

 

[Gray Fox]

Yeah I saw that video about 3 weeks ago, but I think all of you are forgetting the main point here.

The dance at the end of the video, now thats the cool part, the rest it's shit. Anyway I cut myself just the last bit out, it's about 20 mb then and I regularly listen to it, that part kicks so much ass.

And if you are intersted in more goed videos download from filefront the video about a troll that literally reaches the end of the world.

In 2 weeks is impossible (or so i think, never know though), im at lvl 46 and my play time is about 11 days. Thats right folks, thats 24 hours x 11 and you get my hours played. >>> Just for the non-WoWer's who couldnt believe it

PS i suck at math and didnt bother looking for a calculator.

Its level 63 elite my bro said (he plays US servers - level 57). Only problem Blizzard have done is made it so the lower level you are the harder it becomes to hit higher level mobs (not players, thats ALOT easier to hit someone, even 10 levels above you). The highest they could put in without having to change things is probably 65 elite (dont know if you play WoW and understand what Elite status means on mobs? - Lets just say a level 62 mob Vs a level 62 Elite mob would be completely and utterly annihilated )

Being the MMO fanboi i am, WoW is worth double that a month. You get so much for your money, people just don't want to believe that pay monthly games are so much more than a standard MP game.

Well Blizzard always planned to up the level limits as they added stuff, the plan was to make sure that the players didn't get to the max level (say 100) before there was any content for those levels. Maybe its blizzard compensating for an unfinished game (pah you say) or maybe they're allowing for slow levelers to get up to 60 as well instead of being left in the dust

I like the IDEA of MMORPG's but I just got burned out with them. My first MMORPG was one called 10six, it wasn't even a real MMORPG but damn it was good. Then I switched to everquest, got bored after 2 months. I then tried anarchy online, once again I got bored.

I figured I would go back to 10six but found out it was shut down. So I didn't play a MMORPG for a while but got COH a while after it came out.

Bored after 2 weeks. I just got so sick of fighting. I like the idea of MMORPGs but I just get too bored with them too fast. Plus I don't have alot of money so I would only be willing to pay for it if it was atleast better than 10six, and that would be DAMN hard to do. It's like paying money to do work so some day you MIGHT be able to do something kind of cool when I play a MMORPG.

Man, I miss 10six...

No, the plan was to set the cap at 60 and leave it there...

Wrong, they are going to raise it.

 

[seinfeldrules]

Not anytime soon they wont. There is a crapload of other stuff they need to fix first. From what I hear, there is barely any high end content as of the moment. I'm pretty sure they will fix this before raising any level cap.

It still doesn't change the fact that they are going to raise it.

I play it and know my elites

That's why I like PvP, you're not automatically doomed against someone 5 levels higher,

 

[VirusType2]

If you change the names of the mobs, everything everyone said sounds Exactly like EQ on PS2.

I hear WoW is alot better. That scares me. As much as I loved EQ, If i get WoW, My social life is OVER. for like a year minimum.

Where the eff are you getting that crap? They'd have to completely restructure the game to raise it...

 

[Asus]

Maybe heroes. They don't have to restucture the game, just add to it.

Anyway, WoW is worth the 15$. I guess I'm used to having to pay monthly since I used to help pay for a line to our box for hosting CS/DOD/NS/BF42/JK2/CSS servers.
But it's a lot of fun. Especially if you know ppl when playing, whether you meet them on WoW or you know them before hand.

 

[VirusType2]

Heres what happend in EQ.

In EQ for PS2, when they released frontiers (basically a stand alone expansion), they raised the cap from level 50 to level 60.

it could be done from an update. Basically to increase the cap is one, or a few lines of code.
max_level = 60
done.
But depending on how many variables it would affect in the game would determine how huge of an update.

They would ahve to create new higher levels of armour weapons, items, and experience multipliers all that jazz

 

[Foxtrot]

Onyxia was killed before this, all that happened is that nce Discordia got the mob down to %14 health or so Blizzard released a patch that fixed the taunt bug making it harder to taunt Onyxia(I think that is what it did) and then they finished it off. It took like 4 days to kill it, so this is nothing special and Discordia aren't leet d00ds.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I've heard several times both in game and on the blizzard forum that they plan to raise the cap eventually adding new content for high levelers.

That's the stuff that's coming soon. Anything that's not on that list is either waaaaay too far away to actually confirm, or is still being discussed, or won't happen. Notice the speech bubbles... arg, the speech bubbles! OOh, and hero classes are creeping up. We've known about hero classes for ages.... but the name is all we know... lol

And yes, Blizzard ARE intending to raise the level cap... but not for fecking ages. As Letters said, they would have to do a lot of work, and the game's only recently came out... But there is still plenty of room for level 70 areas, as there are unfilled regeons of the map, as well as potential areas such as northerland, where they could add high level quests.
