HA awesome.
The tabard you get is AWESOME. I didn't realize it had a use until a guildmate told me.

We looked all over for stuff after we patched, but then headed to the dark portal. There's a quest there with the argent dawn to kill 6 invading felguards. Good luck doing it though, this event is a lot like the AQ gates.

Good luck. /flex





Basically it makes you flex and does a golden arcane explosion. It's pretty neat. I like it anyway. ;D

And as usual there's a bunch of locks there with their felguards out so that the whole thing is just extra confusing. This is pretty much AQ all over again with the "OMGZ tag it before anyone else quick!".

Oh and I'm going to add this tagging strategy for horde players, if you're interested. What I did was use a lightning shield and stood at the gate, right near the green. Occasionally monsters would come out and hit me first, tagging them for my party. We also had hunters dropping traps. This was, of course, amongst 25 or so alliance people AoE spamming the same spot. So it takes a while, but it's possible. I assume the same strategy would work for alliance too. GOOD LUCK. <3

does it do anything other than flash and make you flex?

Nope, but that's 2 more uses than any other tabards you get.

Plus, I never got the AD tabard back when it was available and easy to get, so it's nice to have this one.

On my server there are at lest 50 alliance guys crammed in the gate. all flagged and Aoeing so any horde that wishes to partake has to try to target the felgaurds then attack before the aoe's tag it. and if you misfire on the alliance you are quickly dispatched. isn't that lovely

[info]thecrimsondrago

Ours too. And they have their felguards out and flagged to make it even harder.

My best advice is to get some traps down right at the green part of the gate, or if you're a shaman you can do what I did and stand at the gate with a lightning shield and just wait for something to attack you. The LS will automatically tag it. It takes a bit longer but it works.

This is fuckin lame. I've been trying to do this on Shattered Hand and there's no less than 4 full raid parties camping the enter portal. They let themselves all get the quest, and then kill the NPC who gives it out.

Fuck Alliance. I miss the good ole days when their were honorable guilds. Looks like i'll be doing this at 4am...

I was able to get this done pretty quickly, and then helped some guildmates get their tabard as well.

Tips for Hunters:

Stand near the portal on a spawn point, with your pet on defensive. You should be able to tag a few this way.

Also, Volley wasn't flagging me for PvP (just about everyone there was flagged, and it was a gank fest), so I was able to tag a few of the demons using that.

I didn't even think of using an Explosive Trap. Good idea!

I discovered as an Undead Priest, to counter all the asshole Alliance on my server who'd flag and cram up the portal:

Use Curse of Weakness, and plant yourself where the Felguards spawn. You don't even have to do anything-some of them will aggro you eventually and a level 60's CoW is does just enough damage to tap the mob to you. Everyone else will kill it fast.

I love the tabard and SPARKLIES. How can anyone not like teh sparklies?!

Thankfully, I'm on a relatively low-medium pop PVP server so the camping wasn't that bad. Felt sorry for the Horde that got steamrolled by Alliance, but it was amusing to see the Horde amass outside of the entrance and snipe at people who were entering and leaving.

I'm not, I'm on thorium brotherhood. xD I'm in the vengeance group.

Sadly though, lately I've seen a son of people with variations of my name. There's a druid alliance side with the name "Amalithia". Blrguh. I guess people got the idea from the last unicorn whose name was Amalthea (Honestly, I had forgotten about that movie when I named my char. I guess I just loved it so much that it unconsciously crept in.)

No, it'll happen automatically.

Things are coming through the other side of the dark portal into Azeroth -- you can't go through yet. Argent Dawn is "holding the line" for the Horde and Alliance to arrive, which'll likely happen next week at expansion release when the same NPCs sitting there from both factions on the beta servers are there on the live servers.

OK, as a lock, I spammed Hellfire (better AoE hitting) while a druid healed me constantly and we all got the quest done quickly, because the gate was full of flagged Alli. I made sure I had nothing targeted so didn't hit any of the dimwits, and we were all fine.

Then 10 of our friends showed up, I helped them, we all formed a raid, and proceeded to kill every single flagged Alli there, repeatedly. Until there were none left willing to come back flagged.

Muradin Horde rule :>

And if any of the Alli there who were messing with us earlier as we misclicked, trying to flag - if any of them roll Blood ELves, and I know about it, I'm charging them double for herbs, at least at the beginning. So there.

I did it in about 30 seconds - I blizzarded the portal tagged a slew of mobs, thankfully they didn't kill me @_@

I'm just happy because I roleplay an 'Archmage of the Argent Dawn' (honorific title of course) and my tabard from the invasion event was eaten by a server glitch.

I'm so glad I could get a look alike! ^_^

AND IT SPARKLES!
