As part of EME’s fundraising efforts, they included open world boss spawning (BAM’s as well as the Harrowhold raid boss Vergos). These are usually server stressing, client FPS lagging events that are still fun and funny. I missed a couple of spawns including the one directly in Velika. But it was all for a good cause.
Lagasaurus Vergosius – server ended up crashing around 15 minutes later
Vergos never did render here on my client so just had to attack blindly where everyone else was (server crashed not too long after this)
“It’s so big!” – that’s not what she said xD
But yeah, there is a point when a raid boss is just TOO HUGE
What do you get when a huge raid boss is spawned in Veritas Vault at Highwatch along with at least a hundred plus players trying to cram themselves into this tiny area?
A hilariously stupendous FPS lagfest 😀
A Mount Tyrannas player generously donated $1000 and requested for a spawn of 10 Vergos in the Celestial Hills zone (they also requested that this be done on all servers – double awesome!) Took my valkerie out for a spin (hadn’t played it in months).
It already takes time for the texture of 1 Vergos to render so the FPS lag went through the roof where if you weren’t in a good starting position, it turned into a RIP-a-thon. Controls were often times delayed (there was one point where I saw a dead elin and the server did not register my key presses to move back; BAM – texture of one of the spawned Vergos tail rendered on top of me).
The time on my clock tells the story. Many RIP’s later, the last Vergos went down 25 minutes after they were spawned. Thank you to the MT player for this fun/funny opportunity. It was worth it for the kids!
I am doing fundraising until November 8th (giveaway info in my participant link below):
