Bumping this ^^ On a side note, what does everyone see as epic ? It seems the majority of the replies here are about big raids, big dragons, and large amounts of time invested. All of which I would agree with being epic. For me, the thing that was absolutely coolest about the Kael'Thas fight (apart from gravity lapse)... when he ascends at the beginning of the 4th phase, dragged up by his magic, causing a massive explosion in the room, shattering all the glass - you look outside and actually see netherstorm, where you probably just came from after a wipe. Kael'Thas, now twice the size he was before, descends to start the fight again. This to me was epic on Ultimecia scales (if you have ever played FF8). :) |

The conspiracy isn't that it was reset to fix anything, but that it was reset because the devs/GMs didn't know what would happen if the sleeper died.

For anyone that can remember it...
[Crap just noticed that the screenship of Lord British getting PK'd was copy-writed. ] Crap. Well, for any old-schoolers: Here's a link to Wiki.

And I just remembered one of the most epic encounters in all of MMO history. "Well, there was a time when I was quick to judge others based on what little I'd heard. But... traveling with even the worst, slimiest, smelliest of tieflings and no-honor tree-worshipping elves has taught me some of them are all right." -Khelgar Ironfist |

Without a doubt its Absolute Virtue from FFXI. I was in a Japanese LS and we formed a massive alliance with all major Japanese LS's, and several equipt with relics. Our tank had 2 excalibur/aegis. We had well over 150 people and the majority of us had really nice equipment. We fought Absolute virtue for hours upon hours. Whatever the key to doing it is, no one has found out how its done(to my knowlage anyways.) It cant get anymore epic than that. Waiting for:ArcheAge |

The dragons from the L2 pics look great! Never played it though. Some of the ex-EQers sound like they had similar raids to that of DAOC. From my personal experience, the most "epic" boss(es) I've fought would have to be the first Legion raid after Darkness Falls was released in DAOC. 80-100+ people, wiping left and right, sure it was a clusterfck but it sure had an epic feel. That and any of the dragons in DAOC the first time I fought em.
I read an article about that whole FF online boss and some players fighting it for hours and hours and never killing it, I fail to see how that is epic, sounds like a waste of time to me. |

The Molten Core bosses in WoW. Back before MC was nerfed, and no one knew the strategies needed to take down the bosses.... it took a lot of trial and error as well as perfect timing and roles being played out. We were one of the first guilds to beat MC and honestly it was the most epic feeling. The bosses were so so difficult and only certain methods could bring them down, even then one wrong move and a wipe could happen. Again this is BEFORE they made MC easier. Blizzard didnt want people to beat it yet. |

Agree. Maybe not as "epic" as other raids later in history, but truly memorable. After nearly 6 years of playing EQ, I only have 2 screenshots left from that game: one of my ranger fighting Naggy and one of my Necro fighting Vox. |

The trees in FFXI were great. Hundreds of characters getting smacked across the screen with every blow from the tree... and it took days to kill them. It was hilarious.

Common is the the WoW WoW bosses are cool post? Anarchy online :: Beast The first few tries ( like 6 months ) whipe over and over. Than one day we kickd the hell out of him and the global message was epic. Now it is like a walk in the park but back in the day it was a happy moment everytime we managed it. |

A tank and spank fight can't be epic, imo. There has to be a lot of strategy and moving for an epic fight. Those fights were your guild whips two dozen times before getting it. The Four Horsemen from the original Naxx come to mind.

I totally agree with everyone on raganors and onyxia pre TBC. That is when I remmber feeling amazing being made a primary mage in my guild having the honor of being able to raid above all the other mages and then thoughs few times of getting the extremely rare loot off of one of these gods we defeated. The release of TBC kill WoW for me. It took what was an amazing achievement of 40 people working together and made it into half that if not less to get the same reward. raids have been made into carebear playing grounds. No attention required. Put on some suto heals and walk away. who cares its just green bars your watching anyways right?!?!?!?  |

Yogg-Saron because I was in a casual raiding guild and I didn't raid before/during TBC. He's like a less kickass version of C'Thun.
