The Maelstrom is probably epic enough for you now

Re: The Maelstrom?Maybe I missed the memo on levels of "epicosity" or something, but I'm pretty sure the Maelstrom is a CLASS 10 epic zone. Though I guess it is missing sharks with laser beams patrolling the waters and Arthur Fonzarelli jumping across it with water skis. And dinosaurs.
And then, a bit later, posted:
Re: The Maelstrom?After reading this post I called for a meeting with TOP TOP MEN (that's two tops) in order to figure out a solution to the problem at hand. Frankly, I think we hit a home run. The next 4.0 build (or the one after) should have a Maelstrom that's between 10 - 50x more epic than what currently exists.
Buckle yourselves into your computer chairs or face being blown away!

And sure enough, as promised, this latest beta build has turned the "Epic" dial up to 11 where the Maelstrom is concerned. Flying around it is Epicus Maximus <Paragon of Epicosity>, a level 90 elite shark, who is being ridden by an elite rare devilsaur named <And a Dinosaur> riding a rocket and manning (dinosauring?) a laser beam, being ridden by an undead mage playing guitar named <Rock On>.
That should suffice.

That was so epic my monitor couldn't render the whole thing.

It was like the good ol' dial up days! I even made the modem dial up bleep blork sound for added authenticity.

Nothing I will ever do will ever be as awesome as that screencap.

Sane, if only you had buckled yourself into you computer chair... Valnoth gave you warning, you just brought it upon yourself to not listen

Lol. This is the kind of stuff I love so much. Awesome!

Why does the dial go to 11? Why not like... just 10?
Rawromg Jul 30th 2010 9:16PM
IT GOES TO ELEVEN.

Zack Vee, if the dial only goes up to ten, it is obligatory to turn it up to eleven in the presence of Pure Awesome.

Zack Vee, Zeknif,
I'm not sure you got the reference.
You guys are making me feel old :(

I do get the reference, but the actual response had already been used. Was I supposed to tell him he should have said "Why don't you just make ten more epic and make ten the top number and make that a little more epic?"?

So...we're getting laser-shark mounts in Cataclysm, right?

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be do... What? We do have them? Frau, fire the lasers.
