...as your pathetic reset point betrays you!

Once upon a time, rather than having to engage Sindragosa upon the death of her lesser winged comrades, we would reset her by pulling her through the gates into the gauntlet room, thereby giving us the opportunity to pull her at our own choosing and without prior combat engagement with another dragon.



Yeah. That's not happening anymore. I narrowly escaped doom by making it up the elevator shaft, and the guy beside me was no so lucky as she teleported him to her before she decided to despawn.

fun :P
had something similar last week.
our tank pulled some trash from blood quarter while the healers were afk, so needless the say he died.
We then proceeded to run back to deathbringers rise to safely escape, only to find out the adds happily came thru the portal and slaughtered us there :P

Ahahah !
In my previous guild, we never used the reset function, and we were quite surprised when in our current guild, the first time we went there they told us "Run !" Ugh ???
I told them you can't reset her in heroic (maybe it's not true...) because I don't like running away.

Since, they drag the second dog inside and we have more time to go take the elevator...

Heroic was resettable, it just wasted one of your 50 attempts :) We traditionally would swap it to normal mode before engaging the last trash mob, thereby not wasting an attempt.

Usually, she despawned as soon as she left her room.

SURPRISE!

Ah yes, the first time we tried this she burst into the room most comically and killed us. I think it might be LoS that makes the difference, rather than distance. So if you all hide behind the butresses, she tends to reset...

We simply reset her like always on hc by running into the gauntlet room (EU servers).

At least the other bugs weren't so bad as to prevent you from even making it to Sindy...

Kae said...

We did normal mode last night, Kaethir, just to get some drake achievements out of the way for a couple of our newer raiders. It still was a sucky raid night, though, with mods broken and people not used to threat yet (tanks/dps both) or their full class rotations.

We nuked most of the bosses from orbit, when we were able to due to achievement restrictions. We killed Festergut before he even exhaled. Full House was another matter. >_>

The reset still works, but it's never been 100% guaranteed (at least not with my guild :\). We've had about a half dozen times pre-patch that she didn't reset, but usually she resets.

She did reset for us this past Saturday.

Tonight she didn't reset until she had teleported all 10 of us back to her and had snacks. From the gauntlet room, from other levels, from way back at the ICC entrance. She's nothing if not thorough now...

Kae said...

Ouch! Sindy is a fickle dragon...

Kayeri said...

Kae, I'm in need of a cuteness fix, and I'm wondering how River is growing...

::big anime eyes::

Please?? :)

Kae -

Slightly off topic, but have you been able to get your reskin of DBM to work? I've tried mine twice - only to have it 1) bug DBM out; and 2) cause horrendous lag :(

For now I'm using the "open" bar - as it's similar in style and not too obtrusive, but I miss my reskin!

Additionally, I second a River update! I imagine she's keeping you very busy :)

Kae said...

Puppy fix fixed. ;)

DamiaUI DBM... still not fixed. /sad Kae. I'm keeping an eye out for an update for the skin; it seems some alterations were made to the dbm template file that were necessary for 4.0. LunarSphere has also not yet updated, and along with GridStatusLifebloom, they make my top three most-anticipated mod updates remaining.

Jazzy said...

Lol. I love how you're running for your life but have time to take a screenshot <3
Thats true dedication right there, kids ^^

Kae said...

Chyeah. After kiting through the gauntlet room and looking over my shoulder as a giant undead dargon eats my raid? Totally screenshot time! Autorun ftw.

:D

I've reset her on normal since then with no problem and it seems like the same thing would work on heroic.

We pull the last dragon (Rimefang maybe?) back into that gauntlet room. Then when she spawns, most of the time she doesn't even come at us.

omg I've had the worst luck resetting her. One time she hit me from at the bottom of the elevator, and I was at the top not on the elevator. She's also teleported me to her from the beginning of the instance, and from Suarfang's platform, and just generally killed me if I hung around anywhere near her when she was pulled to reset. After a month or two of getting killed every time we did this. I just hearthed to Dalaran, and flew back. Normally she wasn't reset by the time I got there, so I flew in circles, whee.

With Cata I think she reincarnated as Lord Godfrey in SFK... he teleported me into the hills around SFK and spawned ghouls on me the other day. I haven't been back since ><
