WOW...funny moments you will never forget
Saturday, December 8th, 2007 - 6:16pm
It seems that things have been getting a bit too serious and we tend to forget to stop and enjoy ourselves. We all have those moments in the time we have invested that make us chuckle whenever we enter the same instance where we forgot that quest item in the bank to turn in or died over and over again before realizing you were equipped with your riding crop and argent dawn commission.

The key to victory is to not suck as bad as the other side.


i think it is rather sickening when i "auto-dismount" over never never land and fall "forever" it seems to my death ... i hate "auto-dismount". and, thank you Krindle for the time you found my body in Nagrand and rezzed me. i could not find my way back to the graveyard and was heading toward never being able to play WoW again with that toon.
i think about the time my GWJ pals let me die in Heroic Botanica while soloing the third boss. Well, trying to solo him. and then we watched Hanta solo the sucker down to 10% before we came in and killed him off. Hanta, a holy pally got that Heroic boss down to 10% solo! wow!
I did like the time Juturna, when asked before the Moroes fight, which NPC she shackled in the past, said, "The one with the star over it's head" ... hehe, that was classic!
Merry Christmas, Goojers!
WOW: GWJ Alliance on Blackhand (BHA)
Seeing Mal and Cyrana getting slapped like red-headed step-children by that 3rd boss in Heroic Bot, then having tears in my eyes watching Hanta (3 or 4 6-packs to the wind) solo him gets up there in my top funny moments.
And how can I forget the wondering out loud "Wow my DPS sucks tonight" in heroic UB only to have it pointed out that indeed I had a riding crop equiped.
And how will I ever forget ShadowStepping off the edge of SMV while farming air. The best part of that move was I was on vent at the time talking about how much better sub rogues were compared to combat rogues
*Bandolique (70 Combat Rogue)
*Amara (70 Fire Mage)
*Zeus the Good Luck Dog making the Lords of Kara/SSC/TK cry whenever he is around
OPPS...I meant to do that..really!!!<--------says on vent after someone points out what you just did. Also hoping noone saw that priceless move.

The Group: Azorius, Copingsaw, Cinster, [KillerTomato's character], Veloreyn.
The Setting: Scarlet Monestary Cathedral, first time we ran it as a group (this being at level).
So this was our 5th or 6th instance we've run as a static group, and we've really gotten comfortable with everyone's abilities. Az is tanking like a pro, I'm pulling and sheeping with style, Cinster and KT are throwing down the DPS, and Cope is making sure we never have to even look at our health bars. We have a few bad pulls, but nothing out of the ordinary of a group's first time in there.
We clear up to the last group before Mograine (still have the wings to clear), and Cope happens to mention that he just got the mind control ability. So, in the interest of seeing how good it was, I tell him to MC the mob right in front of Mograine on the next pull, I'd sheep one of them, Cinster would have his succy seduce one, leaving only one to deal with. At the time, I didn't know that once you MC a mob, it pretty much takes on the same agro radius you have. There's nothing more surprising than the first time you see a large group of guys, accompanied by a boss, come to beat you to a bloody pulp. That was probably my worst noob moment as an instance leader, but at least we all got a good laugh out of it.

Some of my favorite moments:
- Getting Shay a white moth and watching her run around with it as her "mini-Mothra."
- Seeing Shay on a Reindeer in a big progression of about 30 people, all of whom trotted from SW to BB riding them, singing Christmas songs.
- Doing Blackheart when it came down to Sun & a priest, neither with mana, neither able to do much damage, just beating on each other while the DPS kept running back in, only to have the chaos start before they'd ever make it back to the room, killing each other off or running into mobs in the first room. Took 20 minutes, but we did it and had a long laugh about the battle after that.
- Telling the group on an Heroic SH run that "I can shackle lock any mob you want removed from battle" only to have my first shackle drop in 2 seconds, have the mob resist the next 2, and then 1 shot me. Ah, me and my big mouth!
- First time I got turned into a frog, turtle, sheep, pig, etc. It's fun stuff when you don't expect it.
- First time I was tossed about in the air by Godzilla, was controlled by Blackheart, etc. All those boss events that are memorable the first time through (and even thereafter).
- Having Bynn tank in cat gear for all of a run and healing it, then (after we were done) having him embarrassingly admit that he forgot to change items. Of course, next time we grouped (and pretty much every time thereafter when he's the tank) having us all snarkily ask if he's in his tanking gear this time, which he assured us he was... only to go about 2 pulls in and have him go, "oops."
- First time I grouped with Dhalvid while in Vent and heard him go, "Yeah, baby!"
- Going to Blasted Lands as Sun along with Tibby's paly alt and going, "Hey, lets see if we can pull all those elites at once." "Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all" was uttered jogging from the graveyard.
- Running through War Song Gulch in a premade group completely naked, every one of us, and having the Horde join in on the naked BG. That premade gang is on my friends list (and the vent chat was classic). I try to make time to run with them still.
It is easy to go on with stuff like this, isn't it?

One time in Gnomerang (sp) in a PUG, someone was telling the group about a shortcut to the lower levels. So we dropped down to the lower level and everyone made it. 5 seconds later about 50 mobs attacked us and we could not figure out why. Turned out the hunter had his pet out and it ran all the way down to the lower level, dragging everything in the dungeon with it!

Great so far guys....I gots a few for ya.
When I was running MC (40 man raid)..we were clearing mobs to Golemagg. He is a huge rock/fire elemental with 2 dogs that are pulled with him and must all be tanked at once. The path to the fight is down a long winding ramp with mob pulls all the way down. You carefully pull one group at a time to get to the boss. After 1 pull and people were mana'ing up, A pally healer in the group out of the blue says "O NO" Needless to say we were all confused until a priest in his group says "O CRAP"...makes us even more confused. Come to find out, he fell off the path and into the boss room. the patroling dogs in the room were aggro'ed and the priest, seeing her fellow groupee taking dmg and without thinking, thru him a heal. The damage he took was from the fall and he was promptly 1 shotted by the dogs. THEN, the priest looks down and sees the boss, his 2 dogs (which are immune to all attacks BTW) start coming up the ramp without anyone else seeing them..AND bringing the 5 or 6 pulls with him between the boss and the raid. They were on top of us pretty quick, and the whole raid goes into panic mode. The raid leader, trying to take charge, ACTUALLY starts barking out orders. You tank this.....you tank this..all DPS on this. It was a joke with people getting 1 shotted all over. Then the kicker....one of the guild leaders starts playing the theme song from Benny Hill over Vent. It had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen and fell out of my chair laughing. After that prompt wipe, we picked ourselves off the walls and started pulling again...priceless.
Being in a pre-made AB against the premier horde giuld our server (blackhand) "Warfare". We lost 5 matches in a row to them and were just punch-drunk. Getting into the 6th game in a row againt these guys, the group leader says...screw this....let's all kill Tankin (the MT for the guild and a PVP machine with his pocket priest and 'lock) OVER AND OVER AGAIN. We mamaged to lose that match too.....but chasing him around the BG MOUNTED and killing him over and over was a blast. We even followed him to the graveyard not to give him a chance to run away from us...all 15 of us. I would have loved to hear his vent channel.
...hey guys..i'm dead. what the hell just happened?
....I tried to heal you, but there were 8 of em' on you.
<'Lock>.....Guys...they are running to the GY....what the hell are these guys doing?
...%%^&*$ guys..they just killed me at the graveyard. you think they are a bit angry?

hehe... You know, the whole pet-drags-half-an-instance thing has to be done at least once, doesn't it? I wiped a group in Uldaman, myself.
Sadly, I also had a similar situation with doing something newbish, except it was when I should have known better. For me, it was in a Heroic Slave Pens (maybe my second or third heroic). We had finished Mennu and was working our way towards the big lobster. I had to AFK briefly and everyone else had gotten ahead a bit. They had already slipped by the last group that patrols at the top of the ramps and had jumped down in the water. I sprinted to try to catch up, unfortunately, I didn't time my slip-by so well. Worse yet, my first impulse was to jump to safety. I made it.
Aesildur: Um... guys... Oops?
Tank: Oops??
Aes: I hope there's no easy path from up there to down here.
DPS: ...
We waited, I don't know, felt like at least 30 seconds and nothing happened. Whew. Let's go on. Started the next pull. Ut oh.
It's a long pathing from up there to down at the bottom, apparently, especially if you stop off and gather up some friends on your way. At least the twenty or thirty or whatever it was heroic naga didn't take long at dispatching us.
Yeah, so... jumping to freedom.. not such a good idea.

Yea..not recommended Shade. I have seen that happen so many times, and It just keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!!! FYI....if you are in an instance and a "Lock summons you to another part of instance, AND somehow you aggro a mob then hit the accept summon key real quick, they tend not to forget and makes em even madder. They will find the quickest path to you dragging all of their buddies with them including bosses.
Happened to me once in MC....single death on trash pull. that person entered the instance and went the wrong way to us. Without saying a word, he accepts the summon and we start to buff up like business as usual. Then all of a sudden about 2 minutes later..BAM...about 30 different mobs and 2 BOSSES make us wall decorations.
Funny...the guy who caused that was very quiet the rest of the raid.

That's a new one on me. Hadn't seen that yet. That takes some skilled timing to pull off.

Something most of you can probably related to... I remember laughing at myself as I'd press my Vent push-to-talk button while at work on the phone. Maybe that's less amusing and more indicative of the addiction?

Along those lines i pushed to talk when i started cussing someone out in RB6:vegas while waiting for people to get their crap together in BWL.
Probably my funniest moment was during beta. Me and a friend of mine were Horde. We were wanting to train in 1h swords. So we did the usual. Asked around in global. No response. We both checked online and the only mention at the time we could find of a 1h sword trainer was in this town called Stormwind. We looked on the map and saw that the most direct route was to take a boat to Booty Bay and run up to Stormwind.
OK keep in mind we were like 23-25 at the time so we take one step into STV and we pretty much agro the whole zone. My friend was saved a couple of extra times because he was a rogue and would sometimes successfully vanish out of harms way. Still we weren't even to the Arena and we were already 0% on our armor. We discussed turning around and decided we were already at 0% and when looking on the map we didn't have far to go. So onward we'd go. 2 steps. Die. 2 steps. Die. 5 steps, "hey looks like we'll get out this time". Die. 2 steps... and so on. We finally wormed our way bloody and torn through STV. We looked at the map again and was relieved to see a city ahead and was hoping to repair and be on our way to Stormwind. We're running and along the way we had to dodge some spiders and while running away from the spiders we attracted the attention of some wolves. With them hot on our tail and the city in sight we thought we were home free. We were even more excited when we saw the city guards leave their posts to save us from the wolves. Imagine our surprise when they came right to us and knocked us flat on our faces. It wasn't until the 2nd time they did this that we realized Duskwood was an Alliance city and they didn't like us being Horde. Then the realization kicked in that we weren't even getting close to Stormwind any time soon. So the hearthstones were used when we finally stopped laughing/crying.

Stories of Yesterday
The Home Tree
OOO>YES
I remember seeing that...really funny

I'll never forget it. It was when I first started playing, and one of my first times on Vent with my brother and his step-brother, who were kick-butt Taurens in their late level 50's. I was somewhere around 35. The two of them were moving around, looking for the dragon they would see flying around Tarren Mill. They couldn't find it, and the talk we were having on vent was pretty funny. While looking for the dragon to no avail, they started exploring, with me following along. We ended up in some run-down looking chapel-like place area across a lake. There were seemingly no mobs there whatsoever.
My brother suddenly says over vent, "Hey. This blood is activate-able. Huh. Blood of heroes..."
I'd hung back a little ways, so I didn't see what he was doing. And the next moments on vent were priceless, as both of them began swearing and laughing hysterically, and all I could make out was, "RUN, Jenn, RUUUNNN!" And I did. I saw them coming galloping out. Step-bro jumped in the lake, and my brother put some distance between him and the elite dwarven ghosts. I stealthed and went for a swim. Somehow, we all made it out of that one alive...

Some of my favorites:
The Stormguard Keep run where I was abandoned by my fellow party members. One minute Neph, Tzig and Juturna are right behind me fighting ogres, the next thing I know I'm standing there by myself. It took me about 40 minutes to retrieve my body thanks to the insanely long run and the respawns.
On a Strat run where we're getting hammered by the casters and I can't LoS pull I say to Bounce: "Bounce, can you please Counterspell the casters"? To which Bounce replies "What's Counterspell"?
About a month and a half after WoW came out I was questing in Ferelas with Meldbeard. I was still playing a Paladin and he was a on his Hunter. We were on the bridge just east of the dock by the Feathermoon Stronghold. It was such a nice view we took a screenshot. I'm sure that pic is out there somewhere.
Well I ahve a couple of funny stories but I think the one that will bring the most amusement is How I got the Nickname BoomChicken. As a good many of you know i play a balance druid and as such i had to get used to the various nicknames Moonkin druid Boomkin etc well one daysomeone in trade chat was commenting that Moonkin looked rater funny like big chickens to which i responded Thats Kentucky Fried Boomkin and me and my 11 herbs and spices are coming to Moonfire yer Butt ....... IT was the typica /2 channel postering and it would have blown over except .... that my roomate happened to see the comment and starte calling me Bomchicken in guild chat i still giggle at the name
Also I have gorrtn lost or fallen in a few instances Including Kara

Maybe not funny, but neat story. A long time ago, like in the first 6 months the game was retail, me Leap, McFinn(no longer in guild) and a couple others, I don't remember who were in Sunken Temple and we got to the final boss, the huge dragon. Well we got him down to like 5% and Stormspain was the only one still alive. I was slowly damaging him and he kept sleeping me/stunning me and I made the comment that he was just playing with me like a cat beating on a mouse. Anyways I managed to kill him with hardly any life left and was trying to click on someone to rez them and accidently clicked on the mob to loot. Leap yelled hey Storms, remember to rez the party before looting:)
Wannabe priest with a sword....
I do remember Bear's comment after your question on that Baron run....and it is not printable.
The key to victory is to not suck as bad as the other side.
I'd been a lvl 60 Hunter for all of a month, and in Molten Core only a handful of times (back when we raided with the now defunct SGA), when the raid leader (Dusty) picked me to initiate a Boss fight with a misdirect shot. Up to this point, I was just one of many Ranged DPS in the back lines (you know, one of the masses, without a speaking part).
As everyone started to shuffle to their prearranged places, I set Dusty as my misdirect target, moved to his side, and clicked on the Boss to sight him in. Unfortunately, I was so nervous at the time, that I hit the wrong button, and shot the Boss instead of just targetting him.
Now, if you can picture a kicked anthill, that's how the raid group reacted, with Dusty barking out orders and priorities.
I managed with the next shot to get a misdirect onto Dusty, and in the end (although a few of us died that maybe shouldn't have) we succeeded.
What I remember most during the hectic fight, was taking a couple shots, and in the few seconds of cool-downs, typing apologies to Dusty in PM.
When the dust had settled, Dusty PM'd me back, saying that he had told me to take the shot, and should have told me to wait until everyone was in position first. He assumed the premature fight was really his fault, not mine. That said, he never asked me to start a Boss fight again, and still today, I prefer to stay in the back lines and DPS.

I've had to accept the fact that in every new instance where you can fall off a bridge/ledge, I'll be looking for the route back and hoping that what I've landed in doesn't cause damage over time. This may be why I like my rogue so much. When I primarily played a hunter, I spent a lot of time running back from the graveyard after falling off of something into (insert site appropriate mob here).
Things I have managed to repeatedly step off of:
So now it is time to get back to my flying lessons...

Caught an ally warrior on the island off STV where you get the quests/rewards, caught him apparently AFK so I decide to own his butt. Got him down to half-health when he returned, then and only then do I realize he's got a thunderfury on his back. He pummeled me.

REGULATORS! MOUNT UP!
Jumping off the Twin Colossus on our mounts! Here's a tip kids, the parachute won't open when you're mounted. Rann thought he was being clever though and dismounted just before the jump, laughing at us all the way down. He faced a hard reality at the bottom though, when the ground broke his fall.
Bear getting eaten by the ogres! How could I forget? Ahh, thems was good times! Anyway, I wasn't running away from danger so much as I was running *to* safety.
Speaking of running, our first attempt at Heroic Shattered Halls was hilarious. I really put my running skills to use here. Every pull was followed by "RUN!". It got to the point that I was halfway to the door before Krin even started the pull. If ever we needed the Benny Hill music, this was it.
So many good times, it's hard to name them all. And here's to more!
YEAH BABY!
