Our server just opened the gates to AQ today...It was fuckin insane down in Silithus! I jumped into a 20man pug an we got to the first boss but wiped 3 times...other pugs were already at the third boss. Some nice loots were droppin...AQ is SICK!!

Chronic · Mar 2, 2006

I have lost the will to play and live after spending 3 days in AQ40 (and we're on 2 weeks now).

I was reading up on some lore and got really excited about AQ opening.
Entrance of zone was great, trash mobs were pretty cool (the Egyptian ones) and first boss looked very cool. Then we entered the hive and shit started to suck major dick. It's like the hives in Silithis only bigger and more empty.
Bunch of really boring bug clearing till the second (optional) boss, which is 3 big bugs. Then clear towards the third boss, a Qiraji. The concept of the Qiraji is basically humanoid insects. That boss is a woman with bug arms and legs = shitty looking. The fight itself is annoying as fuck. She and her 3 adds do whirlwind, become immune to taunt and basically fly towards a _random_ person (even peops who didn't do shit got aggro). If you get close to one you'll prob die.
After that you have to kill a bunch of bugs which respawn after 30 seconds or something, so you have to keep on moving while killing (which is basically like the Broodlord fight in BWL). After fighting your way through you meet the next boss. A combination of a scorpion and a maggot or something. Looks shit. It's another zerg encounter, bugs and snakes will spawn.
Then you have to clear some scorpions and then the shit clearing starts. Group of wasps, of which 1 will instantly kill you if you have a debuff on you while it charges, and 1 of those adds of the qiraji boss Sucks to pull them, sucks killing them.
After doing those you meet the next boss. It's a giant wasp..
At 30% she enrages and shoots poison at the 15 closest people. Since there are only a handful of good nature resistance items we had to mass farm Maraudon to get NR gear. So basically you just get a bunch of people with a lot of shitty NR gear, stand close to wasp and keep them alive at all costs (1 dead = chain reaction of deaths unless everyone has very high NR gear on and gets healed).

At this point I already wanted to delete my character. The zone itself is boring as fuck, it's empty. You're just killing a bunch of boring as bugs the whole time, the bosses are lame as fuck and annoying.
But then the fun starts!
6-7 Anubian Defenders (they're similar to the Anubis like giants in AQ20). They have the ability to meteor (damage gets divided among the people it hits. If you get hit by it standing alone you'll get 15K damage), shadowbolt (have to be close to it to avoid), thunderclap (have to be far away from it) and they plague people (dot for like 30-60 secs that hits for a lot with no NR and hits people around you as well). They get 2 of those abilities. We spent 3 hours wiping on them, only killing 4 (and you fight them one at a time) and then we decided to train past them into the room of the next boss. Rezzed up/summoned etc. and went to the try the next boss but the guardians aggro automatically if you engage so no dice

The boss = twin emperos. Two qiraji twins. Basically they took the module of a night elf, put them in purple/orange clothes, added big spikes on their backs, little ones on their legs and gave them a bug face. They look shit.
There's also another optional boss (which is a very big blob... you know those green/brown blobs in Un'Goro/Hinterlands etc) which has been brought to 90% or something at most (record on every server). We tried once and wiped after 5 seconds.

As far as I know there's only 2 cool mobs in the game, Ouro (very big worm, looks great) and C'Thun.
For the rest it's a boring, piece of shit zone with retarded encounters.

At this point in the game, high-end guilds should have tier 2 armor. Tier 2 armor costs a lot to repair. People have been getting 60 gold repairs every day. Trash mobs don't drop cash and bosses drop something like 2 gold. What the fuck?! You get better money in Molten Core.

All of this might be worth it if you got insanely good items. But fuck no. The only items I want from this zone are Silitid Claw (I had been trying to get Hakkar's Warblade of the Hakkari for months but it never dropped, Silithid Claw is 1 agility better so I figured I'd go for that but I got Warblade yesterday so no need anymore) + a dagger which isn't insanely great. As a hunter my set armor is PvP orientated. 'Major' upgrades are 151 ac and 25 sta..... agility upgrade is 16 and I lose 2% hit, so I'm probably off worse. The set bonusses are insanely crappy and so are the passive effects. One is something like 10% less mana on arcane shot. I use arcane shot once a day max.

To summize: Shit zone, shit mobs, shit bosses, insane repair costs, hardly any money back, crap upgrades.
And to add, there is hardly any lore in the zone. There's a lot of history that surrounds it but all you get in the zone is 3 dragons in human form talking bullshit. Also I have yet to see an explanation for the Egyptian shit. I think it's very cool but I kind if need to know that Blizzard thought it through or just thought 'it's a desert, some Egyptian crap would be cool!'. Why include Anibus and Horus?

And this is what we spent a month farming for?

I'm thinking of quitting, which sucks cause I put a lot of time and effort into the game as I was planning on playing it for a long time. What I love about these games is that they're constantly expanding but there's no point in continuing when new content makes me want to delete my char and puts me in a shit mood all day.

Needed to vent!

I'll be back to wanting to stab someone tomorrow though.

Damn dude...that is crazy, well if we can only get to Vael in BWL iam sure we wont be beating AQ40 anytime soon an we still need to farm NR gear for the most part. You gotta admit the opening of the gates was awesome and the following 10 hours of chaos and Brood of Nozdormu rep grinding. It was like Armageddon down there!

Shiiiit, don't quit yet Chron you still got the expansion pack to get your hands on! imagine the end game instances to the expansion? i can't wait.

Da_Funk · Mar 2, 2006

Chronic what server are you on? I have a 60 mage on Elune, alliance side. My guild just downed the first AQ40 boss yesterday with our first Nef kill just over 2 weeks ago

. Your kidding me there's no good loot in AQ40, the weapons in there blow the doors off anything in the game, even GM weapons. Also I know some of the sets are kick ass too, the mage one is amazing for + damage, but I just can't pass up my set bonuses from Netherwind =\.

Actually didn't see the opening, we went straight into the zone.
Not quiting just yet, I still like the game and don't want to throw away all the effort I put into it. I've slowly been getting tired of the game regardless of AQ though. If I don't stab myself in the chest 50 times because of AQ I'll prob wait to see how Naxxramas is before I quit.

Emerald Dream.
There's is some nice gear yeah but the upgrade is quite small especially for the amount of effort/money you put into it. I dunno about other classes' armor sets though, just looked at hunters.
Post some links to the weapons that "blow the doors off anything in the game" though.

Ahh ok, I definatley understand the risk vs. reward factor, here's a couple weapons

http://www.wowguru.com/db/itemsearc...ax=&dps_min=&dps_max=&sortby=name&orderby=asc <--- this thing is just wow heh.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21673 <-- probably an equal to that, but its still extremely nice

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21677 <-- sick ring, almost the same stats as Nefs head reward.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21635 <--- By FAR the best polearm in the game.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21664 <--- Not sure if this is better than Nef's neck piece as I dont play a melee.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21616 <-- Is this better than that crossbow off Chromag?

All these drops are just off the first 5 bosses, except for the dark edge of insanity - thats off C'thun. If you wanna look at any of the bosses' loot tables I'd suggest going to Allakazham and searching each different boss.

Flipmo · Mar 3, 2006

I haven't played for a while now. Have they added any new realms since November? I'm thinkin of going back and raising hell once again.

Good weapon indeed.

Da_Funk said:

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19865

As a hunter that's 1 agility (= 2 AP) less.

Da_Funk said:

Like you said, pretty much the same as Nef's head reward.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19898
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19925

^^(together have 30 AP bonus) Those together give 39 agi, 1% crit, 1% hit, 16 sta. AQ ring gives 20 agi, 12 sta, 1% crit so you need to get another ring with more than 19 agi, 5 sta and 1% hit in order for it to be an upgrade.
You can get rings based on reputation with the Brood of Nozdormu

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21201
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21202
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21203
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21204

Revered is 22 agi, 11 stam, 1% hit.

So with those 2 rings replacing the ZG set, you get an increase of 3 agi, 6 sta and 0.5% crit (considering the fact that agility translates into chance to crit).

Da_Funk said:

Good for warriors yeah.

Da_Funk said:

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18404
= 10 agility less and 0.2% crit better.

Nef neck = -10 sta, +8 agi, -0.44% crit

Da_Funk said:

= 0.7 dps upgrade over Crossbow. I think Crossbow is still better because of the higher crits you can get.

Besides dps weapons for warriors, no real upgrades.

Da_Funk · Mar 6, 2006

All I have to say about AQ40 so far is FUCK Battleguard Sartura, we spent 2 nights wiping on her and just downed her last night. She has to be one of the most annoying fights in the game so far.

Da_Funk · Mar 16, 2006
