Saturday night, we attempted Onyxia. The plan, was to take her down, no matter how late it was. This was stated very early on in the week, in numerous places. Yet, after our second failed attempt at her (got her to 38% both times), people left. And not just 1 or 2 people, in upwards of 10 people left the raid group. Whether it be for work reasons, sleep reasons, or friend reasons… Now, I am not one to complain about “having a life outside WoW”, but I just dont understand why this many people would leave the group after only a second attempt. If it were 2 or 3 people, thats one thing, but 8-10 people? Dissapointing… We eventually tried 5 or 6 more times, but with only 30 people, it’s nearly impossible for a guild that has never taken her down.
Question… 1) How does your guild deal with people who leave the raid group? DKP hit? DKP for people who were there at the end of the raid? 2) This question actually came up with our group. Some people had heard that Onyxia’s difficulty level scales based on the amount of people in the raid group. Is this true?
The difficulty doesn’t change by having less or more people. The only thing that makes it easier is when you have people geared, also, people has to be experienced: knowing what to do, when to do it. Teamwork is also very important, at least me, on some raids I’m very low of health and I’m also running low on mana, then I usually use that mana on someone else rather than me, because I know that people is checking my hp (and healing me). That doesn’t work always, tho, but most of the times I can be sure I got people behind me.
I have a feeling when we attempt her again on Thursday, things will go a lot better.
that really sucks how people just up and left your raid grZZZZzzzzzzz…….
