Commento di Rankkor

despite the lower-level of this quest, it's actually shaping up to be the winner of the "Quest of the year" award, due to it's sheer awesomeness.

in this quest, YOU are the questgiver.

you don't really have to do anything, just sit back and have a few laughs as the hillarious dialog ensues.

basically, you get 3 quests that you gotta give to someone else, just get on the pale skeletal horse next to you, and ta-dah now u're a questgiver (complete with the "!" above your head)

then watch as 3 NPC's (representing 3 stereotypes of players) come to you, and take your quests, once u've given them those quests, you get off the horse, and u're done.

the following dialoge happens with the 3 NPC's

High Executor Darthalia says: Stand tall and proud, <name>. Don't let any of these scrubs give you any trouble. Show them who's boss!

High Executor Darthalia says: I see one coming now! Looks like a real winner. Keep it cool, <name>. Keep it cool.

A level 19 character named Dumass walks in, saying everything in capital letters.

Dumass says: HI! HI! HELP!

Dumass says: HI! HI! HELP!

Dumass says: HI! I'M NEW! BIG WHITE LIGHT CREATURE WITH WINGS MADE ME ALIVE! I SERVE THE BANSHEE QUEEN! YAY!
HELP!
HI!

Maybe you should go take a nap or something. I don't know if I have any work for you.

Dumass says: OK! THANKS! I'LL JUST WAIT HERE WITH YOU! THANKS! OK!

Wait a minute. It looks like something just came up. Yes, right here on this sheet of paper. You need to head southeast to to the Azurelode Mine and report to Captain Keyton. Southeast is that way *you point southeast*.

Dumass says: NORTH! GOT IT! THANKS! BYE! THANKS!

High Executor Darthalia says: These new Forsaken tend to be a little... um... stupid. It usually takes awhile for them to acclimate.

High Executor Darthalia says: Oh great... not this one again. I know this orc. He's got no business being here, but since he's a bottom-feeding pansy he likes to hang around here and prey on the helpless. Don't let him bully you.

The level 80 Kingslayer Orkus of the guild <Red Like My Rage> flies in on his frost wyrm mount, fully equipped with tier 10 gear.

Kingslayer Orkus yells: CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE LOK'TAR IS COOKIN'?

Kingslayer Orkus says: HAH! Looks like you're running out of idiots to put atop this horse, Darthalia. This is the puniest one yet.

Kingslayer Orkus says: What have you got for me today, weakling? Point me to where the Alliance hide and I shall DOMINATE THEM!

Kingslayer Orkus says: I have seen the fall of the Lich King. Creations of the titans have fallen before my mighty axe. When called upon, I alone spearheaded a victory for the Argent Crusade against the beasts of Northrend. Now, I come for the ultimate challenge. What does Hillsbrad Foothills have to offer Kingslayer Orkus?

Um... Apparently there are bloodthirsty worgen running rampant in the south. Maybe you could help with them?

Kingslayer Orkus says: Bloodthirsty you say? Is there any risk of death or dismemberment to me?

None.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Then Orkus WILL DO IT! YES!

Right, thanks. Just go ahead and head south. Far south. Probably off the coast.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Yes, cowardly quest giver, sit atop your pale horse while Orkus brings glory to the Horde! I shall return with a thousand skulls!

High Executor Darthalia says: Here's to hoping he never returns. Maybe he'll drown?

High Executor Darthalia says: Ah, crap. You're on your own with this one, <name>.

Johnny Awesome, a level 20 blood elf, of the <Uber Town> guild rides in on a Celestial Steed and fully equipped with heirlooms.

Johnny Awesome says: Johnny Awesome has arrived, philistine. Present me with your menial tasks so that I may complete them with only mild enthusiasm and most likely a complete disregard for any directions that you provide that are more complicated than what my map is able to display.

Johnny Awesome says: Look at me, peasant. Heirlooms cover my body from head to toe, gifted to me by the greatest heroes Azeroth has ever known.

Now look at yourself.

Quickly, look back at me.

Yes, this IS horse made of STARS.

What pointless series of tasks befitting a mentally deficient orc have you prepared for me?

Well, we are having some problems at the Sludge Fields, located northeast of here. Warden Stillwater could use your help.

Johnny Awesome says: Fine, fine, what else?

That's all.

Johnny Awesome says: That's all? One quest? Surely you jest. Are there not bear asses to collect? Perhaps a rare flower that I could pick from which you will make some mildly hallucinogenic tonic which you will then drink, resulting in visions of a great apocalypse? Perhaps the local populace of mildly annoying, ill-tempered gophers are acting up and need to be brought to justice? No? Nothing?

THAT'S ALL, JOHNNY AWESOME. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

Johnny Awesome says: I will do this ONE thing that you ask of me, quest giver. Pray I find more menial tasks to accomplish or you will be hearing from me again and I assure you that my commentary on forums of public opinion will be most unkind.

is obvious that the 3 NPCs represent 3 THICK stereotypes of players, with dumass representing the n00b idiots who don't pay atention to any simple instructions and say all in caps, Orkus represents the elitist player who somehow belives to be superior to the rest due to his or her acomplishments, yet frowns on taking an actual challenge, and prefer to display bravado by killing stuff that is in no way a real danger to them.

Johnny Awesome is....... urg I better not start xD

after this rather hillarius dialog, just dismount from the horse, turn your quest in, and with this your days doing "desk jobs" are over, it's just so much easier to build and lead a 25man raid than put up with the diferent kinds of players as a quest-giver isn't it?

this quest is full of references, for example the quest name and the opening sentence of the quest refers to the songs "Welcome to the Machine" and "Have a Cigar" by Pink Floyd respectively.

and the "Now look at yourself. Quickly, look back at me. Yes, this IS horse made of STARS." quote by Johnny Awesome is a reference to an Old Spice commercial.

Kudos to blizzard for making what is arguably the most memorable quest in online gaming.

Edit: Typos, and also added the full dialog

Commento di Sumadin

~~Why do horde get all the cool quests?~~... erm I mean: Why do horde get to give out all the cool quests?

Commento di 11459

Best quest EVER. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Commento di gaudaloht

My god, Literally rofled

That quest is full of pure win

Hands down to blizzard

When I saw that guy dumass, i saw Donald

Commento di forgottenring

Man this quest is the best. Totally unexpected. Once I hopped on the horse and got a "!" I bust out laughing. Dumass was hilarious, but Johnny Awesome takes the award in this quest.

Commento di 362997

Agree.. this is the single best quest ever made by Blizzard !

Commento di 708808

As if this quest wasn't golden as is,
the homage to Pink Floyd makes it absolutely perfect.

BTW which one's Pink?

Commento di 139938

You'll eventually encounter all three NPCs again, if you so choose:

1) Kingslayer Orkus is found just off the docks in the Ruins of Southshore, and will start this quest.

2) You will need to rescue Dumass from deep inside the Azurelode Mine.

3) Warden Stillwater from the Sludge Fields will send you to find Johnny Awesome after he gets lost amidst all those mushrooms.

Commento di 696978

This quest cracked me up. I was actually, literally laughing out loud. Awesome.

Commento di 386747

I've mained Alliance for all 6 years I've played WoW, but this certainly has to be one of the most hilarious quests I've ever done.

Commento di 76065

I've still got tears drying on my cheeks and I cannot stop laughing. Thank you, Blizz - this was truly the most epic quest ever! Oh man, the laughing is making my gut hurt, but it is totally worth it!

Commento di jaq1010

I can't figure out, between this and the "Day When Deathwing Came" quests, what my favorite quest in the game is, but this one is right up there. Quest made me chuckle because I'm a Kingslayer who has spent the last three days running low level quests for fun. Quest givers must look at me and go "why the heck is HE here?" Johnny Awesome just says the truth about what we've all thought about silly and pointless quests, and the horse made of stars line had me rolling on the floor. And oh, Dumass. So much win in so little time, hilarious quest.

Commento di simbic

So awesome quest. Blizzard, hats off!

Commento di 710930

Possibly my favourite new quest thus far. Despite just sitting there, its a great way for blizzard to poke fun at the more annoying parts of the playerbase, something we all do at some times.

Seeing Orkus not being able to swim later just capped it all off.

Commento di omer681

This quest is an obvious reference to World of Warcraft.

Commento di potenzix

Good ol' Blizzard heavily bashes their players in this quest. Good to know that the people who run this game know their players.

Commento di Giantfoamhat

Haha, amazing quest. Please take the time to read it. Don't be a Johnny Awesome!

Commento di 104207

awesome quest,died laughing trough it .... and thought what kind of players quest givers have to deal with

Commento di 357385

Best. Quest. Ever.

Commento di Mewbaraue

In Soviet Russia NPCs get quests from you!

Commento di Icarui

Honestly, my second favorite part of this entire quest is the reward the 'Cue Cue Gloves'

Someone one my server made a habit of linking it anytime someone whines on trade xD

Commento di 439253

I want an Alliance counterpart.

Commento di jakj

This quest has been given full voice-acting glory!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvF1o1ObPr0

Laugh and enjoy the voices of Dumass, Orkus, and Awesome!

Commento di Axar

This entire chain is genuinely funny! And so are the rest of the quests over here in Hillsbrad. I don't think I've ever had such a great time questing, lol.

Commento di 671292

I actually have a friend that uses the title "Kingslayer" and his name is Orkus, i thought it was game mechanics copying a random friend, but it was so hilarious when i found out it was simple coincidence.

Commento di Gyaris

Just be glad it isn't an escort quest.

Commento di 719483

if only this was the guy to give you the quest

Floyd Pinkus

Commento di Lilyrose1646

Never thought Blizzard could come up with a quest as great as this one, due to all the boring quests in the past...

Well done, Blizzard. Well done, I am impressed.

I laughed out loud when I saw Orkus.

I've seen too many players like that! Haha. xD

This quest is probably in one of the "Top Five Best Quests" :0

Least that's what I think.

They're making quests more fun and enjoyable in Cataclysm! In past expansions, quests were just.. boring. Lol.

Anyone else agree?

Commento di karwara

you get another quest a bit further on where you have to rescue dumass from the mine haha

Commento di 669865

Best quest ever and the follow up quests of the three NPCs are even better.

Commento di 742253

This quest is absolutely awesome. I laughed at every single line of dialogue said.

Commento di Grashka

It's been said before but it bears repeating:

Best. Quest. Ever.

And oh-dear-god... the hilarity of the blonde Belf on the Sparkle Pony. Even Blizzard makes fun of Elves.

I love this game.

Commento di 122049

Seriously the most epic quest ever imo ^^

Commento di 477028

Blizzard needs to make a quest like this for Alliance it would knock our socks off!

Commento di Broodix

This quest is so awesome that I abandoned it just to do it again.

Commento di Saltlick7

They even give you a buff showing up as a gold quest cup with the text "You are dispensing quests AND JUSTICE! YEA!"

Best ... quest ... EVER.

Commento di ProverbialNoose

This may be my favorite quest in the entire game. No matter what level you are, you have to do this quest, and read everything, it's hilarious.

Commento di 732970

I suspect that those saying this is the "best quest ever" have not yet experienced the Gnomebliteration quest in Uldum. This quest *is* entertaining, but I think that one takes the cake.

Commento di 782711

It cannot be said enough (capped in true Dumass fashion): GREATEST! QUEST! EVER! Love their own hysterical quests later down the road when you have to save their asses, but the reaction of Captain Keyton to you bringing Dumass back with you is one for the ages.

Commento di 743774

Best buff too:

Quest Giver: "You are dispensing quests. AND JUSTICE! YEA!"

Commento di 445863

Johnny awesome is really awesome! :D Reference to Old Spice Commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE

Commento di Deaconn

Yes, this IS horse made of STARS.

Brilliant.

Commento di 98301

Everything good I was gonna say about this quest has already been said. Just one thing....

"Are there not bear asses to pick?"

hehe

Commento di 463376

Repetitive I know but I must say it again. Best. Quest. EVER.

Commento di 142762

Almost as funny as saving damsels with that knight in Un'Goro.

Commento di Velariana

Now look at yourself.

Quickly, look back at me.

Yes, this quest IS made of WIN.

Commento di Deathbang

I'm just going to say this: I have done over 3000 quests in this game. This quest is in my top 5. Every WoW player ever should do this quest. If you are alliance, make an undead and level it just to do this quest. It's that awesome.

Commento di sherrasama

I laughed so hard, I peed a little

Commento di 822408

the next quest with the 'bear eggs' is a real downer though

Commento di Quilan

Time to dispense quests... AND JUSTICE.

Commento di Iconoclast

This quest was awesome, I literally lol'd.

Commento di Khalipso

yes. this is, hands down, the BEST quest i have EVER done. classic.

Commento di iluvsilver11

Johnny Awesome is riding a TRH! :D
I thought he did look a bit retarded XD

Commento di Spankypants

I think this has just become my favourite quest ever!

Look at me peasant. Heirlooms cover my body from head to toe, gifted to me by the greatest heroes Azeroth has ever known.

Now look at yourself.

Quickly, look back at me.

Yes, this horse IS made of STARS.

Commento di Kalx

From the August 16 hotfix notes:

Players should now be able to keep the Quest Giver buff from the quest Welcome to the Machine in Hillsbrad Foothills.

Commento di 489530

Clearly a hat tip to Nyhm's song "Death Knight Spree"...

Now EVERYONE'S toon can be a quest giver!

Commento di 878962

Can you smell,what the LOK'TAR is cooking? lmao

Commento di 610373

I agree with many others, this is by and far the BEST QUEST EVER. The only thing that would have made it better is if there was another cursor floating around and clicking on you.

Commento di Chr15ty

Perhaps the local poopulace of mildly annoying, ill-tempered gophers are acting up and need to be brought to justice?

I SO want to see the follow-up. lol

Commento di 886991

I love how blizz even recognized that players in BOA's are generally tool bags haha

Great Quest

Commento di lford78

Ok, that was just awesome.

Commento di Pypode

"Kingslayer Orkus says: Bloodthirsty you say? Is there any risk of death or dismemberment to me?"
Made me laugh out loud.

Commento di Luhka

"Are there not bear asses to collect?"

Laughed so hard I may or may not have done something involuntary. And messy.

Commento di 923612

That was hysterical, its like looking at players from the games point of view. I like the orc that will kill anything as long as its not dangerous. Reminds me of people playing leveled toons in the starting area, lololol..

Commento di 418351

The fact that the first quest that I gave out was to "Dumass" has got my attention, also the fact that Johnny Awesome from <Uber Town> acts like the Old Spice guy is ridiculously funny!

My wife thought I was going to have a heart attack, because I was laughing so hard. Blizz needs more quests in there like this!

(side note to lozerette)
Gnombliteration is a fun quest, however after doing it 8 times on all of my toons, it gets old... If the gnomes were closer together or the quest only asked for 500 instead of 1000, it might have been better, IMHO Welcome to the Machine is better.

Commento di dayoodin

Like the others said, this quest line is both fun and funny, especially the parts involving Dumass! I like that you encounter each person you gave a quest to as you go along, and help them. It was kind of awesome getting to be a quest giver for a short time. ^_^

Commento di 940869

Best part is that this doesn't reqiuire you have done a quest chain for any zones before it.

Best. Quest. Ever.

Commento di Ruaten

Best quest ever? Possibly. My favoriote? No doubt.
I giggled the whole way through. XD

Commento di Zoeteklem

A good fourth stereo type would be the toon that runs up with like 5 baddies attacking him, tries to get help by the guards, nobody helps, he tries to get the quest but dies before excepting it/turning it in.

Commento di Spikeyman

There should be an Alliance quest thats like this... but blizz hates the Alliance...

Commento di shadowdragon986

So...

Am I the only one who tried to click himself to give himself a quest?

Damn you Pavlov.

Commento di saminata

I want this voiced so bad....

Commento di George14

Kingslayer Orkus was talking to Darthalia but Darthalia is an NPC. Lonely, much?

Commento di iFitzGerald

When says "CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE LOK'TAR IS COOKIN'?", it's a reference to one of the catchphrases of professional wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsson from WWF/WWE. The original phrase is "Can you smell what The Rock is cookin'?"

Commento di ExperimentX4d2

I think there should've been a fourth NPC with dungeon gear, in a levelling guild, that runs up, says "How many and what do I get?", nods, and runs off.

To describe the majority of players that quest. Go to the quest giver, take the quest, do quest, take reward.

Commento di raggedysally

For me, the only thing that would make this quest better is if even one of the hapless adventurers returned to turn in their quest... and you get to give them a Carrot on a Stick.
