This was on Atlantic and apparently there was an issue, I contacted them and got a brief reply. The EM had requested a Stygian Abyss boss to fight and instead got some not for public shard badass test boss of some sort. I wasn't kidding when I said it froze everyone in the room... you couldn't move for 6 seconds and were stunned again, and again, every 8 seconds or so leaving 2 seconds of movement. That combined with the one shot kill mechanic on everyone but samps and dragon pets it was pretty dumb. There was 15 or so dragons and an equal number of sampires so it did die, eventually. <y archer couldn't get in range, I'd be dead before I could (even when I turned on my heal script and yes, I had max resist gear on a GM resist archer, didn't matter). I never got a good look at it, it was hidden behind dragons the entire time, so I had to use the ctrl+shift method of targeting. Didn't help that it was in the bottom of hyloth and half the group got stuck in the maze.
The reward was a skinned deer corpse visual with some fancy text and you could buy one for 1 billion gold for the first couple hours. 6 hours later a couple of the people were spamming chat for 150 million. Yeah, they don't get it. It dawned on me that I have EVERY rare given out in game at this point, all of them, every EM event and reward given out even when I wasn't playing. How is that possible? Most of these EM items are just existing items with different colors or titles, which is hardly exciting.
