Try to remember some fun stuff that got removed or fixed

[afhald]

Blessing of Salvation aka perma -30% threat generated

[Pope]

He did offer a quest on beta - that was the only thing I said. The people who care about it are those who keep asking the question.

Yeah, but look at the other replys in this thread, and also the link I posted. People are saying he was
a) used in the AQ-scepter quest
b) in some quest in tanaris
c) Did something funny if you did something to him

a) is bullshit, I did the whole quest b) is unlikely because everything is datamined and c) is also unlikely because of datamining and because a lot of people have tried everything with him.

I'm just not contend with discussing "stuff that was removed in beta" in this thread. Because then I could mention Maelstrom weapon-Lavabursts as enhance.

I'd rather list stuff they took from live servers.

[Hoddie]

If you just don't care simply because it was beta-only, why did you feel the need to say I'd pulled it outta my ass. Regardless, whether or not you personally do care, some people asked what he was for, and I told them. Then you steamed in and flipped the table.

[ambigiouslynamed]

mass rez, flying mounts, long lasting guild pots and probably more

And then you reply to me, ignoring most of my post. Cheers

Zalashji, the most questionable npc, until he was removed in cataclysm.

-He was naga, friendly to both alliance and horde.
-He would patrol in and out of his den in Tanaris, stopping to do a /roar emote at the ocean.
-As far as the players knew, there was literally nothing connected to this npc, no items, no quests, nothing.
-Everyone who asked a GM about it got a very vague response, never a clear answer.

From what I've heard, there's two rumors that went around this npc. One, being if you /roared back at him when he did, he would roar again, and if you timed it correctly, you could roar again, and have him roar multiple times at you. Another, was a player had a talk with a rather open npc, that said there were quests in the game that nobody had EVER completed before, and he was a part of one of those quests.

Either way, as far as we know, he's going forever now, still shrouded in complete and total mystery.

Way back, there was a quest chain where you ended up having to kill him.

As for the Orb of Deception, it drops randomly in a chest somewhere in Burning Steppes.

Huge raids on land mounts to kill the enemy faction bosses, that felt epic (flying mounts, have group will travel)

Erm, this is neither removed or fixed, you can still do it....

Wintergrasp battles with TONS of people causing the server to crash (fixed)

Weird sense of humour if that is your definition of fun....

Using Holy priest's ability "chastise" while the enemy was on a ramp, caused him to drop below the textures on battlegrounds, i know it was an exploit but was fun and didn't work all the time. (fixed?)

Again, fail to see the fun in it after a short while, good thing to fix that

Removing Paladin's Divine Intervention. It was great for wipe recovery, and would have done well alongside Mass Rez.

This one is definitely missed by me...

[coldbear]

Alliance Onyxia key quest line.

Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest line.

I seriously pity you if you have never had the opportunity to experience these two things. You really missed out and I'm sorry you did. I sincerely hope you have or find or make some other really cool memories for yourself, to equal or surpass mine, though.

Soooo... how many land mount attacks have you seen lately? Nobody in their right mind will choose to travel by land mount over flying if the objective is to kill an enemy faction leader.

Wall jumping. RIP

Blessing of Salvation aka perma -30% threat generated

Was basically required for dps warriors in BC :P.

I had to make macro '/ra Can i get a baby salv please'. Because of course blessings were class wide, and you couldnt throw salv on the warriors, because its likely one is the tank.

[Saeran]

You have? Where does it drop from now? I remember farming the rares in the Dire Maul arena, everything else had a less then 0.1% chance of dropping it.

I got one from a chest in winterspring a few weeks ago.

[bobyboucher]

I really miss wall climbing and getting to cool places you werent suppose to and discovering things like ...Mount Hijal during vanilla!

[wushootaki]

Sentry Totem stopping you mid-air while falling

Perfect to use as an elemental shaman in Vanilla wow at the lumber mill. Could jump off, sentry totem, and clip the ledge with lightning bolts from places no one saw you.

[Uriel]

how about Fun!?

Nah just Kidding.

1.)
Naming my Waterelemental and raiding with her. I dont get why they removed this "feature"..i didnt see any stupid Names like most Hunterpets have -.-
"Else" permanently pinned the Bombs at Bloodcouncil fight under the Roof and did some damage to Prof Putrice while everyone was stunned or turned to the Slimes. She was a honored member of our ICC raids

2.)
Also most nice paladin Mechanics like blessing of Sanctury/salvation, or the whole "do damage" when get hit mechanics like Holyshild combine with retributionaura Blessing and Shildspike. Activating and judging a seal...

3.)
Onyxia prequest... hell i hated that damn quest but it felt so damn epic when you escort Windsor through Stormwind. This and the whole Bolvar Fordring Story in wrath where the most epic Moments in my Wow History.

4.)
EARNING Stuff like your Gear. I remember farming for days to craft that Firesilk Robe... or farming Botanica for ages to get D3 Paladin Shoulderparts (although i didt like 74 Runs in Bota for that damn shoulders it is still my fav instance in BC). Doing Heroicsruns to obtain the Key for Karazhan...

5.)
Glitchy Onehitters like Windfurry Onehit Onyxia at 60 or the Reckoning Bomber palas.

[ovamaestro]

Pre-Nerf Faction Champions!

heroic mode? damn, i remember that, it was damn hard at the beggining and becoming very easy after killing the healers.
Mage kiting, calling out targets, switching, peelings on a 25 raid group was fun!
Good pvp skills on my raid group and good raid leading we kill it on the 1st week. Sadly it was dumbed down later.
I remember that i was hit by a "mana burn" from the NPC disc priest, and it did 28k dmg to me, made a ticket about it, GM said it was ok, wtf?

[Vesker]

Not sure if it's been mentioned already but there was a bug once that caused a player's corpse to keep moving if they died while running. Adventuring then suddenly seeing some random dead body slide by and disappear over the horizon was pretty surreal.

Blessing of Salvation aka perma -30% threat generated

This never actually was removed, it was just made baseline for every non-tank.

When the change to remove it as a blessing was implemented in Wrath, every single tank got a hidden 1.43 threat multiplier (1/0.7) manipulatively added to the threat bonus of their tanking stances.

Alliance Onyxia key quest line.

"The walk" was one of the greatest moments in WoW, ever.

[FireBorne]

Having a ridiculous amount of raid healing as any spec dk in bp.

[Trollfaced]

Knocking people off of flying mounts.

This
Is there any information anywhere whatsoever on why this was removed? They could remove it on PVE-realms but why on PVP-realms?
