Incase you were wondering if Deathwing was flying around...

[Ryai]

Yeah, he's flying around. And you don't always get a yell warning. All I got was a wierd sound when I grabbed a quest and everything had a reddish aura- which also I thought was part of the quest and....

[Vephriel]

*nod* It's one of the new achievements and Cataclysm 'events'. Deathwing can randomly appear in any zone in Azeroth (excluding Blood Elf/Draenei areas I think). It's bad for people that want to get it since it's complete RNG of when he'll appear and you just have to get lucky. >< Not to mention it's been purported to become a Feat of Strength since it's not something that will be around forever.

[Azunara]

D: I want to be roasted!

[Ryai]

Yeah it is becoming a FoS it's just I was on the fence about bothering trying to get it and well yeah my advice?

Park a toon somewhere and afk >-> Deathwing will show up. Just stay logged on.

All I was doing was trying to unlock the flamefly quest! ><

[Vephriel]

I was in Burning Steppes for 2 hours yesterday doing the Flamefly quest chain too. :<

I bet I'll get it on one of my new alts instead of Veph. T_T

[Ariamodasu]

T'was one of the strangest tells I've ever had I can tell you D: Not seen or heard someone struck by him prior to this but then we know rng despises me.

[Sei]

/jealous.
I want a fiery demise

[SylviaDragon]

I want I want I want /kicks and screams

[Vephriel]

Ah yes, confirmation about the retired Feat of Strength aspect.

Blizzard said:

The achievement is a Feat of Strength since it won't be available forever. Given the rate at which this occurs and the random way in which he chooses to attack, virtually everyone who earns the Feat of Strength will get it by accident -- it's a wrong place at the wrong time sort of thing.

B@stards! Seriously, they make a totally addictive system that reflects the way we play our characters, and then they make an achievement for a one-time-only world event that's pure RNG??? I hate that so much!




Ok, maybe that's a strong word to use, but it quite aptly reflects how I feel about purely RNG-based achievements.

[Anyia]

While I've yet to manage to be in the right place at the right time, so far I've seen guildies get roasted in Tanaris and Winterspring, so I can confirm those two zones being "strafed" by Deathwing.

Well just go and afk in the zone, mean aslong as you're where a toasting can happen the best thing to do is just afk camp. >-> I'm scared to afk on alts now myself.

Once I run out of quests, that's what I'll have to do I suppose, unless I get lucky before that. Only 15 zones to go according to my achievement log... >.>

[VelkynKarma]

That's a little disappointing that it's RNG based. My RNG luck is terrible.

Plus...I wouldn't want to just AFK camp for it. I want to actually see it happen. I can't do that if I'm reading a book across the room 'cause I've been sitting here for four hours and can't take it anymore...

I haven't yet seen him, nor heard of anyone on realm who has Still waiting!
