about time.

My life would be complete if Bliz had an achievement accompany this statistic.
But then the achievement would become the bane of raid leaders in BWD everywhere.

[We're no strangers to lifts]
*Complete BWD without dying to fall damage
Or the best thing ever? Depends on the achievement. :)
droknar Feb 24th 2011 3:53PM
[Lifted Spirits]
All members of the raid die due to falling damage within 10 seconds of each other

Thanks to DKs, we used to pull that off almost every time doing ToC. What is it about DKs that they can't resist activating path of frost while an entire raid is falling towards what *should* be a soft splashdown in a big puddle?
Shadowwind Feb 24th 2011 4:18PM
Turning that around for a moment... What is it about non-DK/shamans that makes them incapable of figuring out that if you right-click your mouse and point straight down, you will go through the water and achieve that soft splashdown you wanted?! (Before anyone says, "well how do I know if I should do this?", I'd like to point out that you should do this any time you're in a raid with either a shaman or a DK.)
(For the record, I pointed this out to my guild every time we were in ToC. [No, I was not the one doing the Water Walking, it was another guildie.] NO ONE ever figured it out, even when the DK and I were the only ones landing safely!)
Shinhan Feb 25th 2011 2:32AM
Really? The other shaman that was using the water walking died? lol
AudreyR Feb 24th 2011 3:58PM
Finally! A stat that matters to a mad jumper like me!

Reminds me of a guild named "UC Elevator Victims". Perhaps fix the bad design rather than poking fun at it?
Krystana Feb 24th 2011 4:27PM
LOL Undercity Elevator Victims...my favorite guild name form Terenas...

Wha? It's not bad design and it's not something to be "fixed." The speed of the elevator is almost certainly on purpose and intended to be one little platforming element in the raid. It's like Naxx's Frogger, or ICC's gas walls, or H-Deadmines' electric boogaloo.
Why can't they make a joke about something that's seemingly working as intended?
Samuel Feb 24th 2011 5:36PM
Everything in that dungeon wants to kill you. Why should Blizzard make any place in it safe? It gives the raid a sense of adventure.
Nurowyn Feb 24th 2011 6:56PM
Last night I kept falling through the elevator. Not past, through. I guess it's my fault for assuming that it would be solid even when in motion. But I guess it helped raid morale to see a naked female dwarf at the bottom of the elevator after our Nth wipe of the night. :P
Miri Feb 24th 2011 3:59PM
The SSC elevator was referred to as "soandso's Bane" when we were raiding SSC. We had one guy who had horrific latency--every time we zoned in, he died. Dude would be at like 60% before the first trash pack pull...
dj.clayden Feb 24th 2011 4:02PM
I hope it isn't retroactive.
A stat jumping from 0 to over a million the moment I log in might impact my gameplay :(
Bynde Feb 24th 2011 4:02PM
Please tell me this isn't a 'jumping 'eye-hand coordination'' type of arcade thing you have to do.
Homie don't play that. If Homie wanted to play that, Homie would play Mario Bros.
It's like that horrible, bad ,no-good, jousting-bird thing in Hyjal. My computer learned a great many new words involving, but not limited to, several Gods, physically impossible acts of intercourse , the act of sucking/blowing, and the cramming of large objects up tiny orifices.
pinteresque Feb 24th 2011 4:14PM
nope. it's just an elevator that activates after the first 2 bosses in BWD; an elevator that, for whatever reason, kills raids dead.
Don't parachute and jump off the edge, either, unless you angle yourself correctly - your forward momentum will carry you into fire, lava-flavored death. I made that mistake once or twice.
(Most of the time I beat the elevator boss the magey way - step off the edge, plummet towards the ground and blink before I turn into a gooey crater. Almost gave my raid leader a heart attack once. :))
BB Crisp Feb 24th 2011 5:00PM
It's possible to jump that chasm as a priest. If you boost yourself with Body and Soul, jump at the edge of the elevator, and cast Levitate on yourself at the highest point of your jump, you can make it across with about 10 meters to spare. Just make sure that you start your sprint right before the elevator reaches the top. It'll start going down really fast and you need to make sure to be at the other end of it while it's still all the way up.
It's alot of fun, but scary as hell.
Revynn Feb 24th 2011 4:03PM
I still want to see Blizz implement those Feats of Fail someone suggested a while back. This would be perfect for it.
"Die 50 times to the elevator boss"
Callow Feb 24th 2011 4:19PM
Am I the only one who hasn't died to the elevator? I have to get there, wait for it to go down then come back up, and then I get on it. I'd just rather wait 10 seconds than die.
