All the Ancient Beings Use Apostrophes

This is mildly entertaining … complaints and threats about World of Warcraft’s C’Thun encounter in Ahn’Qiraj. If the search function worked on the Warcraft forums, you could search for C’Thun and pull up a whole day’s worth of reading but that would be about as fun as hanging out in an IRC chat room for endgame guilds at 2:30 in the morning. On a related note, I renew my objection to adults using the word “retard” in their everyday vocabulary. (UPDATE: “threats” link killed their bandwidth. Screencap of first page here.)

    I agree with Tigole on this one(reading that second link): Just because you can’t beat something doesn’t mean it’s broken. The entity C’Thun is an OLD GOD, for chrissakes! You can’t just knock over a deity every day, you know.

    No one can beat it… yet. It’s just a matter of time. It’s highly possible that the key to beating him has already been overlooked…

    Is that really what’s going on here? Is it just a matter of the content being difficult? My main is still not level 60, so I haven’t really done any endgame instances and I really am just wanting to know.

    If it’s just a matter of being difficult, dtguild can take a flying leap. Frankly, I WANT my games to be difficult. If they are so difficult that even top guilds can’t beat the content, yet, then great. That means a LOT of other people will get the chance to contribute to finding the perfect strategy to bring down C’Thun. OTOH, if it really is a question of QA/playtesting, then admittedly, that is bad.

    I really don’t know, though. I’m still LFG for my first BRD run.

    Oh wow, looks like the dtguild page exceeded their bandwidth limits or something. Gotta love that!

    I didn’t Furl archive it in time, but did have it in my cache and screencapped it.

    I don’t anything about the C’thun encounter (still working on getting Nef down), but I would like to hit whoever is responsible for Rajaxx in the balls (or whatever) with a ballpeen hammer. That is probably the least fun I have ever had in a game…and I played SWG.

    I don’t mean to comment flood, but…

    A friend of mine informed me that a European Server had beaten C’thun. I have nothing to verify this, though.

    Heh, funny thing was that I was doing just that last night. Surprisingly, it was quite fun though.

    Regardless of whether the content is broken or just plain hard, is it really proper for a developer to be calling one of the big guilds a retard like that? It doesn’t matter if he’s ‘off duty’ as it were, surely that’s a really bad idea?

    […] If n3rfed keeps posting my eyebrows are going to pop off. An amusing comparison of the Foton-captured AQ rant and a long-lost complaint from EQ. In either case, Blizzard failed the community communication test here. No official comment on C’thun being looked into after uber guild after uber guild was failing consistently. No official comment on the C’thun encounter being broken and players should wait until a fix. Nothing from the 157 Community Managers that Blizzard employs. And yet will no one think of the fanbois??!! […]
