Except for Vepo’s pointer on the Framerate I have absolutely nothing to say besides awesome about this video.

This kind of videos makes me close youtube and log ingame.

Unlike most of the posts on here since the patch hit, I’m not going to complain about the difficulty of Tequatl now. Instead, I’m going to tell you how I view this update.

Tequatl was once an open-world “boss”. However, he has turned into something that I haven’t seen in an MMO for quite some time. He’s now an open-world RAID. Back in the GOOD days of WoW, there were several open-world raids. They were spectacular, and a thrill to participate in. They were challenging, and it took both skill and coordination to kill them. Granted, I don’t want to see any of the concepts of modern day WoW introduced in this game. That would be terrible. However… Some of the classic bits of content that made the game good? I’m okay with that.

That being said… It seems like most of the people complaining are upset that they can no longer treat him the same way as with every other world “boss”. Even after the buffs, Jormag and Shatterer are still essentially “point and shoot” bosses. I’m fine with 90% of the open-world bosses being this way. Especially the ones in lower level areas. However, I personally think that Jormag and Shatterer should be brought up to the level that Tequatl is now at. Leave Tequatl’s difficulty where it is. Keep the challenge there for those of us that want it. Leave the better loot tied to him. Leave the rest of the open-world “bosses” the way they are for those that can’t appreciate the feeling of accomplishing what so many people have called impossible.

And before you say I’m “elitist” or “lucky”. It’s been 5 years since I’ve been in a raid (5 years WoW-sober, and going strong!), so I’m a bit rusty on the “don’t stand in the way of the giant wall of death” maneuvering, but I’m getting back into the swing of things.

Also… I’m on Northern Shiverpeaks. Many of you will say that I’ll never get to see him die unless I guest over to a larger server, but I’ve got faith that, once the people that are tired of the event move back to the easier content, I’ll see the others on my server that appreciate the challenge as much as I do band together to form an unstoppable force of ultimate “Tequatl killitude”. All it takes on my part, is a continued effort to learn the fight a bit better in the face of constant failure and death, and the patience to wait for everyone that needs to do so, to band together to make sure he dies.

Those of you that are with me, throw your hands in the air for challenging content!

I pity you NSP and I know these xoxos boys represent like 0.1% of what NSP really is but it’s just sad… having these people to be the voice of NSP in the official forums… geez
