Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Lift my days, light up my nights
Beta tester Zombina of Drenden (US-H) writes, "Something went terribly wrong when I was flying my goblin warlock over Searing Gorge. I was suddenly dismounted and fell to my death. After deciding to resurrect at the spirit healer, I was stuck there. I could only walk a few meters from the graveyard. So I decided to hop on my trike and see if I could ride out. Doing that caused me to fall into the darkness, and I was trapped under the earth, I guess. While waiting for my hearthstone cooldown, I decided to play with the darkness and my cool spells. The hearth never worked, by the way. That little gobby is still stuck under the earth in Searing Gorge."

Cataclysm moves the world in mysterious ways!

Glad I'm not the only one who had U2 pop in my head upon reading the title!

Yeah so I'm the only one that thought of Negativland?

I just stopped by to say props on the U2 reference.
Carry on.

Kudos on the great reference.

Let me be the FIRST1111!!!! to say that it's quite stunning to see the spells on a black background, nice screenshot :)

Damn, the sarcasm filter on the comments system didn't engage, and put me second.
Helston Sep 23rd 2010 10:34AM
Sarcasm or not, it still screams "FIRST" while intending to be the first post in a topic. The way to sarcastically do it is when you're quite clearly NOT the first poster and in response to someone screaming first or some other troll-like internet meme.

FIRST!

That's a really awesome screenshot -- It looks like a scene out of Diablo 3, haha.

Really, I only think "its all right, its all right, all right."

Get a warlock to summon you back to top side if you still can't get out.
That was interesting, imagine a place in wow that required something like engineer mining lights to replace your helm or something to light up a cave for a quest, or mini boss.
Hmmmm.

Very nice screenie indeed!

Awesome!

Warlocks have some bright, colorful abilities! What other class would you like to see light up the darkness with its spells and abilities? Which would have the most interesting, the highest "Wow!" factor?
Pyromelter Sep 23rd 2010 11:46AM
Mages. Flamestrike + flame orb + blizzard + mirror images and then depending on spec, combustion, arcane power, icy veins. With all that illumination, it wouldn't be very dark for long if you had a mage there. :)

Simply gorgeous! It's one of the few Around Azeroth screenshots that I've seen which could stand on it's own as a piece of art. Well done, Zombina!
Zombina Sep 23rd 2010 11:32AM
Just an update on my little lock. I finally faction changed and then changed back, which put me in a graveyard somewhere near Tarren Mill...yay freedom!
Feldring Sep 23rd 2010 11:43AM
Oh, clever lateral thinking! Congratulations on escaping the abyss, and thanks for sharing such a great screenshot. :)

"I decided to play with the darkness"
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
