The Shattering can happen at anytime might not be on a Tuesday.


I really doubt that they can switch it over without downtime.

But we'll see.

....but these canned dungeon bosses are completely unsatisfactory. I want to see Ragnaros appear in Orgrimmar, and start destroying buildings and slaughtering noobs. I am going to be a sad panda if we don't see some serious world boss action with this pre-expansion event. I mean c'mon, we're talking about the unsettling of the main elemental planes, some nasty stuff has gotta get loose soon!


Part of the problem with things like that is that the servers tend to go boom and the entire game world converges on a single location. Plus, weird things happen with the models and such causing issues.

How do I know? Somebody asked a dev about this a few years ago and that is what they said.

Don't get me wrong, if I worked at Blizzard, you would get exactly what you just said, with huge bosses going through the cities killing everybody and dropping amazing phat lewt if killed.



Just give the dragon a 'zone block' power preventing people from entering the zone and write it into lore ffs.

So you'd have to be in the Zone when it happened to participate.

I talked with my friend about this last night. He said that during the LK pre-release they had the "zombie invasion", by which one person would open an infected container and become a zombie. If they were able to defeat another player, then they would become a zombie as well. Pretty soon, you had a bunch of zombies in the cities. Then people started to btch and moan saying stuff like "I just wanted to check my bank and I can't b/c others keep turning me into a zombie". Shortly after, they nerfed it. I can't really be surprised that we got the watered down things that we have now after that. The sound of the waaaambunaces would be deafening if they had an epic boss cutting down swathes of players. Though I do agree, they really should do it. The current events feel really nonimmersive. The old worlds as we know it are about to change forever damnit! Lets make it feel like it is!

Let me know how Cataclysm goes, upon rolling over in bed, deathwing severed my ISP's connection to blizzard servers.

I haven't even bothered to try these guys. Are they like the headless horseman?

- queue
- accept queue
- go take a leak and grab a drink
- come back and open loot bag to see if mount was in it
- repeat with alts
