The Face of True Evil: Brutosaur Owners Playing Tricks

Recommended Posts

Clipboard01.jpg
 

We've heard the many, many wholesome and heart-warming stories about wonderful Brutosaur owners sitting next to the Oribos mailbox so players can have a normal Auction House experience in peace, but today we have the exact opposite of that.

There are some Brutosaur owners who have... different ideas about what to do with their 5 million gold investment, and their take is to have fun with it - at the expense of the players needing their AH! There are actually many methods being used to either prevent or play tricks on players trying to use the Brutosaur AH, from the owners ejecting the AH NPC, to the somewhat more ingenious parking at an angle so the NPC isn't reachable, and then there's... this pinnacle of evil:

While we just went with it in the article title, it's important to note that this is actually completely fine and no one here is actually evil. It's their Brutosaur and they can do with it what they want to, and if they want to have a little fun with it that's totally ok, and even a little funny. We've even come across stories of the Good Samaritans actually feeling bad when they have to leave to, you know, actually play and enjoy their game, with people whispering them not quite nice things, so there's definitely a cost (other than the 5 million gold) that comes with owning one of these. Some have come up with macros that warn players they'll be moving, with countdowns and many other creative ways to say "look I know you need this but I kinda have to play the game too", so keep that in mind the next time you might get annoyed one of them moved or left in the middle of your transaction.

Here are the more conventional tricksters:

Also, while this doesn't really apply to this particular post, as it's overflowing with Brutosaurs, I feel compelled to re-post this thrilling goodbye to the Brutosaur from back when it was getting removed:

I had one yesterday where the guy started running at random intervals for a few yds for about 15 minutes. It looked amazing with a group of people following it in stutter-step just trying to get their shopping done.

He can sit with me, I mount up on mine after hearthing back to Oribos just to ride 20 yds to the teleporter for Ring of Transference.

      Ogrimmmar has tried to express various WoW zones via emojis, and there's a pretty fun guessing game in there as well!
      It's pretty fun trying to decipher the pictograms and where they belong exactly, with some being pretty obvious, and one even being a bit misleading/confusing (see if you can spot that one). You can check out the solutions below the image, and see how well you did (the last one is especially solid)!

      Number 8 was the problematic one, as the author combined Silithus and Uldum, but the rest are pretty much on point. Also, this obviously needs to be a thing for WoW terms in general, as it's pretty fun spotting the intended meaning, and we could use some tougher ones!

      Blizzard talk about the specifics of the Valor caps and how they will be accelerating them due to the systems late addition, with a 5000 cap to start, increasing by 750 each week. You also won't be able to hoard it, as a character can only hold 1500 at a time.

      As we’ve tested and iterated on the changes in patch 9.0.5, we’ve concluded that Valor for Mythic Keystone Dungeon gear would benefit from an immediate kickstart, so we’re adjusting the configuration of Valor caps. This currency is being added well into Shadowlands Season 1, so we want to pace it as though it’s been available for several weeks, giving players a large measure of gear catch-up capacity from the start.
      In 9.0.5, there will be a weekly Valor cap that increases by 750 Valor each week, and the cap will start at 5000 Valor earnable in the first week. In the second week of 9.0.5, the Valor cap will be 5750. In week 3, the Valor cap will be 6500, etc. There will be a cap of 1500 on how much Valor a character can hold at a time. As always, thank you for your testing and feedback.

      The Alliance Castle Nathria Mythic Hall of Fame is finally full, but it appears that a Chinese boosting guild has filled it with many Cutting Edge runs discovered by players through Warcraft Logs.
      The Alliance has filled the Hall of Fame 29 days after the Horde, but according to reports, a Chinese guild named Q728 has sold more than 50 Hall of Fame / Cutting Edge pilots this tier. The alleged boosting occurs in each tier, but it is super obvious this time around.
      Reddit user Drathos1337 provided us with two interesting Warcraft Logs links. The first one links to their rosters and contains hundreds of characters with oddly similar performance on the final bosses after not performing that well on early ones, which hints at pilots. The second link contains their calendar, where you can view the individual runs.
      Many players are calling for a complete overhaul of the Hall of Fame system due to the boosts and Alliance taking a long time to fill it.

      We've seen plenty of WoW recreations in other games, from Minecraft, the Sims and so on, but this is a pretty new one as a part of Stormwind has been made in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater!
      While the details aren't exactly high, the architecture seems to be all there, but more importantly it looks to be a pretty solid skate park, with plenty of places to grind, wheelie and other skating terms I definitely know and didn't google like like ollie, boardslide and darkslide. The music isn't half bad either!
      This particular map is only available on the PS4, however, but it's still damn cool to just look at.

      It seems there's a much easier way to handle Devos, the final boss of the Spires of Ascension, as many players have been using this extremely powerful cheese/creative use of game mechanics/exploit to speed things up and make the encounter trivial.
      As spotted by the WoW Highlights Youtube channel, the method actually kind of breaks the boss, as Devos does none of her mechanics after the cheese, and it's pretty easy to pull off too. While this seems like an extremely obvious exploit, it's interesting to know that something very similar happened back in King's Rest, where you could do the same thing to Mchimba the Embalmer, the second boss, and Blizzard actually allowed that, even in the MDI, as Ellesmere points out and explains this new Spires method:

      You can see the results of the method here, as the boss just does nothing after the first spear throw interrupts her:

      And here are two more examples, where we can actually see the method being done directly (in the first two examples):
      This particular one seems like it will be getting fixed fast by Blizzard, however, as it is the final boss and the method basically removes the majority of the fight and makes it very trivial.
