Archimonde Down! (Sort of..)

[Mikentosh]

This is kind of old news, but I'll share it anyway.

I'm not one to advocate exploiting encounters, but at least it was done on the PTR so that Blizzard can fix this before the patch goes live.
The EU-Kazzak guild Forte defeated Archimonde last night, during a trip to the PTR to test out Hyjal. There was apparently an exploit that's possible to avoid certain parts of the encounter, and Forte used this to their advantage to check out the loot Archimonde would drop. It's also important to note that there WAS a scripted event that took place that brought about Archimonde's death; this wasn't a "let's spit on lore to give raiders something to do" situation.
You can check out the loot below-

• 2 Tier 6 Helm Tokens
• Cloth Healing Legs
• Leather Melee DPS Chestpiece

It means Forte has killed the hardest boss in WoW currently.. with exploits. Just look at the pictures, smile, and nod.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

what exploits?

i would like that leather for my rouge tho

This is a scandal… I can't believe they actually dared…

The Caverns of Time is fun. You go back in time and mess with things, then the Bronze Dragonflight have to fix up what you've done. Funtime

Anywho, they probably managed to get Archimonde stuck somewhere and held him long enough for the event to take place, seeing as I have a fair feeling to defeat Archimonde you just need to hold him off long enough, like in RoC

It does look like they've held him off, because at a certain health percent (I forgot) he makes the whole ground into fire.

EDIT: Somehow I've lost the picture. I'll look for it later.

Ok let me correct you a bit...

1) Forte has the THIRD kill on Archimonde http://www.wowwiki.com/Guild_progression_(TBC)/Hyjal

2) Nihilum is the farthest guild in terms of progression, they have downed every piece of end game content blizzard has thrown at them. http://www.wowwiki.com/Guild:Nihilum_(Magtheridon_EU)

3) Archimonde IS NOT the hardest boss in WoW, in fact Hyjal Summit comes before Black Temple in progression. Illidan is the current hardest boss in WoW.

Nihilum Illidan Kill (World 1st): http://video.google.com/videoplay?d...05&start=20&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=6

Forte is just the first guild to release an actual video of the Archimonde encounter, which does not mean they are the first to kill him. Also Forte just finally killed Illidan last night, after Nihilum (1st), Last Resort (2nd), Giving them also the third kill on Illidan. http://www.wowwiki.com/Guild_progression_(TBC)/BT
