So last week i did operation mechagon and it was the most satisfyingly fun dungeon experience I’ve had since way back in TBC. The account below is so shockingly wholesome you’ll want to open a bakery to see the customers smiling faces.
Our tank was helpful and patient, fully prepared too explain the strategy to this first time newbies. When we wiped nobody got toxic or left, even when our other Mage pulled a boss after mistaking it for trash we just laughed.
So we had a good time, laughing off wipes but honestly learning what to do and how to win. We battled our way into the city full of confidence but we were often shown the price of overconfidence with a few wipes because of silly mistakes.
Still we persevered on good spirits with nobody leaving or getting annoyed at each other
But then we got to King Mechagon…
I thought for sure this was it when we kept on dying. So much more than other bosses too.
I thought we would call it and just leave but we didn’t, sure we got a little demoralised and it was one o’clock in the morning but we had all spent a good couple of hours getting to this point so giving up just didn’t feel right.
We took a short break of course, went afk to get away from the screen for five minutes and just cool off and doing what we needed to do too regain some focus.
Then we went back in and wiped two more times…
But we didn’t get mad or toxic. We just tried again until we had the mechanics down. Even the other Mage, who didn’t do dungeons if he could help it apparently, was alive for the second phase which was an achievement in itself.
And we finally beat him. That last ten seconds of combat when it’s just King Mechagon, no mech or flying machine, was just so sweet and satisfying. I swear i haven’t been that buzzed playing WoW in years. We had been beaten time and again but just kept on going and we succeeded.
I know this was random and a little corny but i wish more players were like this wonderful group i ended up with. Shrugging off a wipe feels much better than getting angry at the other players. I also had never met any of these guys before, it was a totally random group on Group Finder which made the fact that got along so well much sweeter, we just clicked. I hope others get this level of satisfaction from group content too
Thanks for reading
