The True Final Boss
The first Sauercrowd raid takes place on Sunday during prime time. What else often happens during prime time in WoW? Of course, disconnections. The servers of World of Warcraft have claimed many hardcore characters and are likely to try their luck again during the first raid.
Fortunately, no one in the raid is alone, and in many cases, the healing from teammates should be enough to survive a disconnect alive. However, it becomes dangerous if such a connection break comes at exactly the wrong moment.
For instance, with the player who just became the bomb at Baron Geddon. Or with a character who parks in a harmful area. Or with the teammate who must move to avoid pulling the approaching patrol. Or with the healer who is currently watching over a tank alone.
I hope Sauercrowd stays free from server problems on Sunday. And I would like to point out that World of Warcraft servers clearly belong to the losers of the current Hardcore event in the German Twitch scene: 10 Losers of Sauercrowd – These Twitch Streamers Could Have Done Better in WoW Classic Hardcore
The problem: In the heat of battle, players do not always pay attention to their debuffs (or alarm messages from installed addons) and therefore do not realize (in time) that they are the bomb. Or they do not run exactly to B, causing the bomb to affect several allies.
Another danger with Baron Geddon: Half the raid often consists of DPS-hungry warriors and rogues who only focus on their statistics. I have seen countless times how one or the other has either run too early to Geddon or too late away from Geddon, dying in the regularly appearing waves of flames. And all just to maximize their so-called uptime and deal a few extra points of damage.
