Kommentar von Killa

Just had a game master confirm this item did not exist ingame and i have proof + he said you can post fake items ingame if you know the code!

Kommentar von 26820

Okay.. this used to be linkable/clickable on Khadgar and now it just disconnects you when you try it.

I petitioned a Game Master, and she confirmed that this item did in fact exist, but as of a recent hotfix, the item has been taken out of the item database, making it unlinkable across all servers.

Kommentar von 50090

This item has been linked in /trade on Durotan. So its been in-game, probably a GM inspection or something, because its clickable and linkable on Live realms.

Kommentar von 64731

You CAN see GMs on live servers. It's probably very rare, but I've seen one once. It was Pre-TBC in the BG part of ironforge.

This isn't a "GM Item" it is actually a Blizzard programming tool. It may look cool and all but is actually hardly ever used except when testing wide-spread mobs, or other server related issues where this may come in handy.
I have some experience with Blizzard and WOW software engineering and have seen these tools. This item is practically non-existent for a simple reason, Blizzard came out with test realms where they can easily get regular players to "play" or "test" new things that do not require program or software developers to go on test realms and use these tools to save time (in this instance, killing mobs for a quest asking to kill 30 ghosts, etc.) It was never removed by Blizzard. Developers that use character classes to test stuff (usually on a very low level that is a non-public test realm) also have developer spells (a.k.a. SpellAQ's) for crowd control (i.e. paralyze, permanent frost nova, etc.) or killing mobs (i.e. touch of death).
There are also no realm specific GM except depending on what TYPE of server you are on (Language variances, etc...). The "GMs" you encounter on real WOW servers are entry-level based customer support reps that sit in a call-center based office building with "chat room interface" programs to talk to the next individual on the ticket list. GM's do not have any powers to alter anything in game. In the event that you have a item, character descrepancy, etc - your issue is escalated to a small group that has programming tool access. Usually these items are created/added via a server command interface (similar to the -console) that is directly linked to the server.

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. This item is a valid weapon and its ID number corresponds with the same ID in their MPQ files.

This weapon is linkable in game on a few servers (Aggamaggan being one).

And GMs do, sometimes, use weapons for looks.

Kommentar von Sorvtyl

Cool, btw do anyone know a good site where items are browsable with filters other then this site and the armory, Zam that bougth this place is too affiliated with the goldseliing business even tho they claim they're not for me to use it any more.

Kommentar von Apoclypse

If you really want this weapon just play on a private server for god sakes. You all seem to be drooling over it.

Not actually that good except for its use ability.

:P

but how in the world do i get it ????

Kommentar von 73665

Yah ive seen this weapon before on my character Kalmurdor on Mannoroth realm.. some people had linked it, thought it was real until i saw the 137 dps and kills all players in 30 yards lol

Kommentar von 75521

Real or not, this weapon sure is powerful...

The GMs, are something like players. See this:

http://www.wow-europe.com/en/support/gm-article.html

Kommentar von 75521

Correction: This item does exist! It's very simple. Download WoW model Viewer. There you can see all models of WoW. This program reads the patches. It reads the models in the patches. It has Martin Thunder, so if the model of this item exists in a patch, the item is real! Very simple! :)

Kommentar von 54088

of couse it exists. there shouldn't be this discussion really.

it has been seen on live servers. it has been linked and spammed through most battlegroups. it's in the game files.

that's pretty much it.

would be fun to have tho =)

Kommentar von 81603

This may be outta place but does anyone know the item IDs of the robes and hood and stuff of the GM or whatever it is in the screenshot?

Kommentar von 86678

On my old Hunter, my pet was bugging, and GM's couldn't figure out how to fix it, so one of them had me log off for a few minutes, to see if he could fix it. I guess when he logged off, he forgot to change the <GM> mark, on my name.

Was fun while it lasted.

Kommentar von Hunterios

I once had an meeting with an GM, man, will never forget it.

I reported this bot in a ticket and at same time i asked some stuff for my friend Mes.
Once he showed up, i walked to the botter, and told him.

'You may want to step back a little :)'

Thats what he said, then he spawned like 3/4 mobs on the botters head, which killed the botter :D

Kommentar von Rasztra

GMs have a /kill command, so they have no need for this weapon. As such, it's only used as an aesthetic item by GMs wishing to show-off a bit. :)

Kommentar von 99360

Has this item been removed from the game? It can't be sniffed anymore.

Kommentar von 10891

This item removed from blizzard database as of patch 2.4.
I've found this out by packet scan(there's way to get all items/creatures and quests that way), and this and more items have been removed as of the new patch, probably database cleanup.

Kommentar von 133035

We aren't seeing Warglaive of Azzinoth, We're seeing Martin Thunder. But if ya wanna see DUAL WIELDED Warglaives of Azzinoth, we've got a few on Icecrown realm in our best Raiding Guild <Vindicatum> Injek and one other person are one of the few who dual wield it. It looks completely raw. Executioner and Mongoose. They've beaten Sunwell Plateau already and get asked by the GM's all the time to go to test realms, lucky duckys.

Kommentar von 92579

I've noticed that it doesn't seem to have a weapon class (sword, mace, dagger, etc.). Is this because it really doesn't have one or is it just because no one knows?

Kommentar von Divisor

It is because it's just like it was said above. It's not a GM weapon, it's not even a weapon, it's a tool. There are certain moments in the game, usually after some content is added, when Blizzard employees(testers) test the new areas before the players get there. Mostly this happens on test realms, but it happens that the deadline for the patch comes and there are still a few things that are not completely polished, so they continue the testing on the live realms. So they just go there and check stuff. Can't tell exactly what, never worked for Blizz :) And when you test stuff, things can get out of hand. So they need some tools. They could go for a long script in the command line, or they could use an item. They really don't care how the item looks, what damage it does, what item type it is. They need it for one purpose. This item's purpose is to kill everything in 30 yards radius. Probably to check the world drops, or the aggro range, or the behavior of mobs that can't reach you (they should evade your attacks), or other stuff like that. And to prove that this is the case of this item, check the link:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/search.xml?searchQuery=martin%20thunder&searchType=items

Also, this is a quote from the armory:

Are all items in the game searchable in the Armory?
Only items that have been 'discovered' in-game (at least one of that item has been acquired) are searchable in the Armory.

This means that NO Martin Thunder was EVER looted on the live realms.

Gms have appeared in game as characters to solve problems such as wall walking which has obviously been fixed. the only time i know of it happening was "The Last Wall walk". A Gm had appeared at the entrance to discourage the abuse of wall walking.

Kommentar von 277652

I have had my own encounter with a GM. We were doing Naxx 25, and after we finally managed to down Kel'thuzad he instantly reset, without dropping anything, and wiped our raid. Our raid leader managed to get all of us to open a ticket and in about 20mins of waiting, a GM "walked" into the instance, ran up to Kel'thuzad and downed him with a very very, flahshy shadow/pyro blast thingy. Afterwards she appologized for the inconvinience and Kel'thuzad dropped twice as many items as he normally would (double badges too). Pretty epic experience, but one i probably will never see again. I got the Betrayer of Humanity out of it ^^.

Kommentar von lonewolf351

I once had an encounter with a GM because I was in a place I wasn't supposed to be apparently (on top of Mount Hyjal because of my curiosity) and he appeared to me. He then asked me how I got up there and I explained to him the trick of how to climb the hill and mountain in a certain way and use your mount to exploit your way up. He then threw a snowball at me that bounced be backwards off of the mountain and he cast some big, shiny, gold looking wings on me from that one Draenei quest in their starting area and I floated back down the mountain and landed safely in Winterspring. Then he told me not to go up there anymore and that it was going to get hot-fixed soon. I apologized to him and he was nice about it. :) That was the only time I was sure I had an encounter with a GM. I use to have a screen shot of it on my old hard drive but I formatted since then.

Kommentar von Gwalchgwyn

Currently linkable in-game, whereas before it wasn't

Kommentar von 314061

I've had two encounters with GM's in less than a month for a couple of different reasons, (the first being a mob in RFK spawning underground but still beating the hell out of me), in that instance, the GM appeared to me outside, we had a nice chat, they promised to look into it, and said farewell with a "May your bubble never pop Paladin!" and vanished. The floating was so cool :P and in the second case, we still had a nice chat. The GM's are very nice people, and very amusing sometimes but damn I just wish I could get hold of that Martin's Thunder and run into Orgrimmar and be like "Hey Thrall! *bam!* You and your buddies are dead! Word!" then run off :P

Kommentar von 239466

Why is it called 'Martin Thunder'?

Kommentar von Twonkle

GM appearing in one of my Naxx rounds... Yes they do appear now and then! But its pretty uncommon.

I have asked a GM about this weapon.

Me: "Can you tell me something about martin thunder?"

GM: "It was mainly used as a weapon all GMs used, but now they dont use it anymore."

Me: "What do you use now?" (Hoping for him to show me some awesome stuffs)

GM: "I use my finger!" /point "Much more powerfull"

Ill submit screenshots later. EDIT: No i wont... (Dunno how to) :(

Totally a rogue weapon.

As of patch 3.2, both this and Martin Fury have been changed to grey items, and the Area Death spell on both of these items has been changed to a Suicide effect instead.

Martin Thunder
Martin Fury

If you don't take my word for it, click the 'Link' button at the top of the page and paste it ingame. I was able to query the server for a tooltip on my realm (Bloodhoof EU), however, I'm not sure if the same is true for all other realms.

Kommentar von 447146

Talk about a nerf.

Kommentar von 386977

3.2:
Changed Quality from Artifact to Grey
Changed Name from Martin Thunder to Martin's Broken Staff
Changed Use effekt from "Kills everything in a radius auf 30 Yards" to Commit Suicide

Kommentar von 315859

As of now, the area instantkill has been changed to a caster-only suicide. This is likely to prevent another occasion of someone getting something like this in the mail and using it in raids (such as Karatechop did).
I heard the Martin Fury (the item Karatechop got) got the same nerf as Martin Thunder.

Kommentar von Naris17

So... it looks like they gave Martin Thunder to an engineer to be improved.

I also wonder if they gave these a remote activation switch. You know, to "handle" GMs that overextend their authority and the like.

Kommentar von Vordon

I recently went to my local Blacksmith to purchase one. He said I could have it Half price as it was broken. Sadly when I went he was dead. He left a note saying: Undead: Don't eat me. And also in his note he went on to say Martin was Nat Pagles Brother!-

Before, with Martin Thunder and Martin Fury
~~Martin~~ Thunder
~~Martin~~ Fury
THUNDERFURY!

Kommentar von szamsung

Before:
"Martin Thunder is an Artifact weapon which can rarely be linkable on certain realms. Quite uniquely, it has no weapon type so it can be wielded by any class. Given its description, the weapon is likely a weapon used by Blizzard for testing purposes. It is not accessible to regular players and has only appeared wielded by Game Masters in screenshots.
Its graphic is almost exactly like that of the Argent Avenger from a Stratholme quest line, but has some blue on the hilt."

After new patch:
"Formerly Martin Thunder, Martin's Broken Staff is the new name for the item since it was changed in Patch 3.3. It's appearance has not changed, but its quality was reduced to Poor, it's spell effect changed to kill the wielder as opposed to enemies, and it's sell price was reduced tenfold."

Kommentar von weezel

@ Dathil: The GM on your screen is named "Ingroothor" while the person in your chatlog is named "Ingrothor". See the difference? Double "o" in the GM on your screen and just a single "o" in your chatlog.

I say it's a fake screenshot.

The only reason the name is different is because when you first speak to a GM they're talking to you through a chat interface not all that dissimilar from something like an instant messenger. that is, no game interface but instead a chat interface. they can then log into the game using a game client, and chat there too, if they wanted. The name is different purely because you can have 2 names the same. Try it, get a GM to appear and talk in /say or something. and then in PM. you will notice it's different

so.. in other words, Gm's can NOT Intervene no matter how HORRIBLE a raid gets? wow, really I saw a few youtube.com videos showing a few GM's ( before cata was released ) intervening in some Horde Low level dungons, one, was a Stratholme run, and the baron was near death but didnt die, he glitched at some point to where his HP was 1% and woudnt die, the group had to wipe, the tank ( orc warrior asked a favor from a GM,) hours Later a GM stepped in , and SMITED the Baron Rivendare, and they won. The barons mount didnt drop, though, but they still WON that fight. All of the members in that group got the achievement for stratholme and the GM departed.

Funny thing is about this item is that blizzard has made a joke about the incident. If you type in the script command to paste martin fury into chat it will post martins broken staff instead making a joke about how it pretty much killed everyone who used the item in the end!
