Muchiha -> RE: AQ Rewind 2019 (12/14/2019 19:46:38)

First off, I wanna say thanks to Willow for making this thread and I think the title of it is just perfect. [:D]
In terms of my favorite moments/highlights from AQ this year I would list the following:
1) Staff Challenge Gauntlet 2019. (This is based on my first few attempts running through the gauntlet, without me knowing any of their abilities)
AfterlifeX (ALX) Man, oh man. [:D] I still have some PTSD from fighting ALX when he instantly one shotted me for 10,000+ damage when I thought I could just take him out in one turn. Here's a pic I made in honor of that moment: https://prnt.sc/qaxxnf.
DragonUltraMaster (D.U.M) was the most lethal moglin I've ever faced. Sorry Zorbak, you need to step up your game haha!
Celerity mage Carandor: Just when I thought I was feeling victorious and about to get to the Rewards shop, Carandor, getting first turn, stacks a few rounds of Celerity and just completely obliterates me, sending me to Death's realm before I could even finish blinking. Carandor if you're reading this, I hope you had fun sending countless players to their deaths trying to reach the rewards shop lmao [:D] On a more serious note: Thank you for your time and dedication in making the countless item entries you've done for the AQ Encyclopedia here on the forums over the years.
It would be hilarious if we could have ALX, D.U.M, and Carandor as House Guards. It gives some players an incentive to spend more Z-Tokens forcing them to buy more [;)]
2) Void Imbue skill Back in January/February of this year when the AQ Staff were asking us what we wanted to see in the GGB Crossovers, myself and a few other peeps from the forums and on Discord used the hashtag #VoidImbueSkill2k19 to give players a reliable way to deal pure Void damage.
IMR and Kamui saw that particular conversation and decided to troll us by using our suggestion for the Void Dragon Queen challenge battle and have the "Void Imbue" status effect applied on players, having our attacks deal Void damage, however the consequences of that would do nothing but have us heal the Void Dragon Queen since Void Dragons have a negative resistance to the element.
Well played IMR/Kamui, well played.
The good news is, the "Dragonslayer Aura" Imbue from the recent skill scroll release is the unofficial Void Imbue able to be used by players as long as the monster is fully tagged as a Dragon. So it looks like we got our wish after all. [8D]
And last but not least... :p
3) Having Cray enter the AQ Team. The quest writing and storyline arcs have been a joy to play through. Cray if you're reading this, you've really put a ton of effort (and so has the rest of the AQ Staff) in the world building and continuing to enrich the lore which is at the heart and soul that makes AQ what it is.
Though Falerin may no longer be physically present with us in this world, his work and legacy will live on forever through the stories and worlds he has created, and the people whose lives he touched both online and in real life. I raise a cup of Earl Grey tea to the late Loremaster Falerin :)
