Your Most Absurd Raid Experiences

[vMoPPy]

I was wondering, what are your most memorable/funny/crazy raid experiences that you can remember.

So my guild and I were running DS, and had to pick up a pug tank for the night.
We got to Yor'sahj without any problems, and had two more packs of trash to kill before the boss fight, when suddenly, the tank pug goes afk. He sounded extremely high in vent the whole time.
Next thing we know, the tank pulls the boss while nobody is ready, and we wipe. We later found out that the tanks friend who never played WoW before decided to try to help the raid out and tank the boss. The reason he did this was because his friend was so high that he was throwing up.

That's all I can think of right now, but I have plenty more, I'm sure. :P
How about you guys?

one time when i missed a court date (FOR A SPEEDING TICKET) the fuzz showed up at my door and arrested my ass in the middle of Festergut. "GETTING ARRESTED GUYS GOTTA GO NOW LOL"... bounty hunters have no respect for progression, but at least they let me have a smoke before they brought me in. yeah i didn't live that one down

Fellow guild officers taking as yet unresolved misunderstandings between officers to guild vent during a raid.

Most absurd.

guildie playing from his computer shop getting a gun pointed at his head for a robbery buring naxx (at least that's what he said)

Mine was during HLK:25 our guild leader had left 2 weeks earlier because he said we all sucked and would never kill the boss. He logs into vent at like 30% on our kill attempt, it was glorious.

Some kid pissed himself during a raid I was in.

[Funion]

During BoT my cousin who was the old guild leader was in vent and didnt say a word for liek 10 minutes... said he needed a smoke break... then about 10 minutes later you hear him going "yes yes yes" and heard a porn in the background... his arm was on his speak key on accident while he was "taking care of business"

During BWL progression, back in the day. We finaly got broodlord down for the first time, and got to the 3 drakes. We killed all 3 of them in the first try, but that is not the point.

The second of the drakes, Ebonroc, was totaly crazy. Our tanks just didnt get taunting right, and he kept healing up with his debuff. We got him under 75% at least 20 times, and the stupid tanks always healed him up again. After 25 minutes, he was back at 100% life. Everybody was sort of out of mana and yelling at the tanks like there is no tomorrow. I remember one of them was called "doomfrog". We got Ebonroc down after i think 35 - 40 minutes, still on first try. But what a try that was !

Another one was our kael'thas ( the eye ) first kill. Right at the start of phase 5, our main tank died. Our fury warrior tanked him down, no problem

oh, and one time, mechanar heroic, we pulled the end boss, and my music randomiser choses to play carmina burana. The song was just so perfect. When tension rose and adds came, it would go all hyper, and it ended the same second as the boss died, if it were a movie soundtrack, it could not have been timed any better. That was some crazy coincidence

I don't know about "most absurd", but I still have a chat log from way back in my previous guild about one particular VoA pug run with my sister and gm tagging along. Removed a couple player names for privacy.

Back in Kara days we had a mage who kept pulling aggro off tanks and dying. He got so frustrated that he took his gear off and dps'd naked. We all rofl'd which didn't help him calm down any

[Hottage]

At level 60 when a randomly placed engineering target dummy bugged out in Blackwing Lair and managed to aggro Ebonroc, Flamegor and Chromaggus... and all the trash in between... at the same time.

Even if we could have pulled it off we were all paralysed with laughter.

We have a guy in the guild that can get a bit overemotional when he's hitting the booze.

And he has no problems sharing over Teamspeak... in the middle of raid. And most of the members can't bring themselves to kick or mute him, since they feel sorry for him.

He's just like any other guy when he's sober but the booze brings the tears. And we have to listen to it.

Someone failing to move on the Rocket Strike in Ulduar just ago. I mean , the animation is like soooooooooooo obvious.

[MAGAmobile]

Doing 80% of the raid's total dps on Jaraxxus because a friend invited me to a "super fun pirate adventure" thing that promised gold and candy. I was disappointed after 3 hours of BS wiping with 6 people in the raid with him peacing out after beasts.

There's also the ever promising how many bosses can 1 hunter in MC pull at once scenario. I think his best record was geddon shazzrah and Garr somehow. We just killed Magmadar at that point.

Yeah, there was this one guy we took on our raids when we did Ulduar who would ALWAYS die to that. We ended up stopping our wondering of why he never moved and just planned for him always dying.

Join a guild back in Wrath that my friend said was pretty awesome.

GM and others invited me to AQ run like an hour after joining. Halfway through, some like cloth bracers drop and the rogue takes them. I whisper her after saying that "someone might have wanted those, so taking something you have no use for can be considered 'ninjaing' to some people".

I said this in the nicest way possible, since I knew whatever I said wouldn't really matter and no one probably needed them anyway, but I may as well have given her some tips before she starts doing that in random dungeons.

She flew off the handle yelling at me that her husband told her to need on them, and then the raid leader starts complaining at me too, then proceeding to raid kick me AND guild kick me.

I still don't know what stuff they were on, but it must have been pretty powerful.

I entered a LFR once.

In ICC, my old raid leader was a degenerate. We used to take a 5 min break halfway through raid to bio/chill. Well, he left his mic queued, and decided to fap. We all heard it. He heard incredible amounts of noise through his headphones on his desk, he said "fuck is this shit on" as we heard him fumbling with it. Priceless, and 100% true.

My old GM started to cry loudly on vent when we got server first C'thun back in the day.
