A player has just started with World of Warcraft and is experiencing an unpredictable “oh wow” moment during the leveling phase, which the community is celebrating.
What happened to the player? On Reddit, DopeBikes reports that he recently started playing WoW. When he reached level 44 and completed a long dungeon, he was chilling with his pet owl in one of the beautiful fields of Azeroth.
As he rummaged through his bags, the aspiring world-saver suddenly burst into flames. Surprised, he looked up to the sky, where he could faintly make out something with huge wings. Meanwhile, he unlocked the achievement “Bathed in Fire.” Deathwing himself had caught the newbie.
At the start of the expansion Cataclysm, the Master of Destruction managed to break free from his prison beneath the earth and rise to become the final boss. Until the last confrontation, it could happen to adventurers that the dragon suddenly swooped down from the sky to literally turn them into a barbecue on two legs.
This unpredictable event triggered multiple emotions in DopeBikes. He was surprised, of course, but also laughed out loud thinking, “This game is fantastic!” You can find more great WoW moments here:

Some Reddit users wonder which version of WoW the newcomer is playing. Traditional-Roof1984 asks: “Wait a minute, the guy is still flying after 15 years?” After some digressions about Chromie Time, it is clarified: DopeBikes jumped straight in with Cataclysm Classic.
