The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: World of Warcraft

I know, I know. It's a WoW post. The internet seems to get all twisted whenever wow is mentioned. However, this is probably the one thing in video games that I hate more than anything else. Every time I get to talking about it my brain starts melting from rage...

I hate you  I hate you I hate you I hate you

A little intro for those of you not addicted to WoW: In the expansion prior to Cataclysm (known to some as Catacalysm), for the final dungeon you and all your specifically selected friends went and stormed the Lich Kings Tower/Castle/Lair thing. Long and short of it is, you run up, fight bosses, run some more, fight some not bosses, run, fight more bosses, etc. etc. Well, there is one specific boss that makes even the LK (Lich King) fight seem relatively simple. That fight, is with the mother fucking bitch of a dragon, Sindragosa.




So, I could go into depth about the specific methods used to "down" Sindragosa, but that will take to long.. and those of you who don't know how.. probably don't care. Long and short is, on paper it's a fairly simple strategy. It involves very little instruction, and the actions carried out by each team member are spelled out explicitly, and when to carry those instructions out is also fairly obvious. For whatever reason.. even a group that was been competent and successful for the entire dungeon, can immediately turn into bumbling fools tripping over their own feet when encountering this boss.

Here is what you are supposed to do...




Here is what usually happens...




You'll note, that they nearly killed her. They lost in the last phase of Sindragosa's fight. The frustrating thing about Sindy, is the hardest part is her last 10%. She is decently simple to get to that point, but when that point arrives, its the balls. Time and time and time again, my groups take Sindy down to 5% and lose. We spend 10mins, reviving and getting rebuffed, addressing what went wrong and how to improve it and going again, only to lose at her last 2%.
over and over again....

To sum up. She is a bitch.
