Hello everyone one the things I love doing most is reading about grand adventures which is probably why I enjoy reading epic fantasy and one piece. Which is why I also enjoy reading about MMOs stories to. I've heard some really good ones like the EVE online ones and this other one in which this guy tricked the whole server into giving him a billion gold. Now I'm sure you all have some great ones and new ones that you hope happen in Ashes and makes you excited for it. Anything specific perhaps like "I hope during a castle siege a surprise army shows up to help us win the day just like in game of thrones." or that your able to lead the raid that kills the dragon attacking a node since dynamic events will happen due to node development or "I cant wait to 40 man raid again its such a great CF". And no they definitely don't have to be as long as mine. But the more the merrier. I will start
Now this storys a little short but and probably not my best but here goes. When I was playing Raider Z I was still a little new to mmos or I didn't know I had walked into a dungeon or something. All I know is that when I walked that skeleton hit way harder than I thought it would and I almost died. Since it was a dungeon they were elite mobs and way stronger than regular. After I killed the skeleton I realized killing the whole dungeon would take forever. So I eventually came back with a party of five. Things went relatively smoothly as I remember until that one moment. When a caster moved the mob we were attacking to far to the right and I missed my ultimate attack because of it. Since Raider Z was an action based mmo with dodging and such. I heard some rumors about a reboot but I dont think its going to pan out. From what I can remember there was a lack of content and pvp was annoying unless you were mage. pvp was getting kited by mages and other ranged classes.
Anyway she apologized in chat for making me miss (gasp someone used chat to talk in a mmo that is so rare today.
) We then go to the boss room to fight maglus or was it maverick. I don't know it was something that started with a M. There were other rooms with more bosses but they must have been optional since we didn't kill them. The main boss was this kind of wizard knight who may have been undead since you fight him in a Catacomb.
Things were going well for a bit until we realized the bosses health was not going down he kept healing.
After a bit of this someone said make sure you avoid the balls. Since he was shooting these electric balls in all directions. That didn't work either his health was still going up. After a few minutes of his health going back up someone said RUN AWAY and then everyone but me ran away. I was hesitant since I thought we could do it. I didn't want to give up. But I didn't want to be one shot so I followed suit. I still remember to this day everyone running away and the annoyed feeling I had 😦. Just outside the boss room. One guy started talking about how the boss was overpowered and how he was the final boss in the beta. At this moment it would have been great to talk strategy or something. But one guy said he was going to bring in his lv 40 mage to kill the lv 20 boss. I thought that was even more dumb than running away. In hindsight I wished I had spoken up to convince everyone to not cheese the boss. But at the time I was a little shy and everyone seemed on board with it so I just kinda rolled with it. 10 min later the lv 40 mage comes in and 2 shots the boss. Leaving me with a feeling of having cheated and a finished story.
P.s. I checked on the dungeon and added his picture and I found out why we couldn't kill him. Quote from a video that kills the boss "Later on after playing with a whole different group I learned that the theories from the other group were all wrong - to get the final boss you actually have to hit his shield down and not wait for it to do down." I personally think it would have been way more fun to spend sometime trying to figure out mechanics instead of immediately cheesing but thats just me. Oh and I guess the story is a little longer than I thought.

But sadly since the brought 3 lv 30s they also cheese him.
They start Manelloth at 12:12
TL;DR I am basically annoyed that we cheesed a boss during a dungeon run.
