Yeah. There was no, and there was never a chance, no matter what role you were playing. D DBM is still yelling at me during this fight.
So I'm like, you know, getting up close and I'll say, run away or get away or the, you know, uh, D uh, debuff this or whatever. He was yelling stuff at me.

Yeah. And I realized, and I'm reacting to it. I'm going, well, yeah, let's get the hell out of that. That looks bad. Whatever it is. And then I started to realize it's not doing anything to me. I'm not dying. I'm not even coming close to like losing health. I don't think. So I just stayed and ignored DBM and took her down. And the stuff she does in that fight is pretty epic and cool.

I've seen the video of Heroic. It's insane. Like, awesome encounter.

Right.
Right.
Yeah. Sell it to me that way. It was sold in a very different way. Instead, just tell me. I think you're exactly right. If you are somebody who's either comes just for the story and the PV aspect of the games and you just don't care about the farming and the getting there and the beating the challenge doesn't matter to you.

The game's always been pretty nice to you that way, but you never get really good closure or it hamstrings the writers. So the writers are like, all right, well, we got to finish this quest line for those who don't see this raid. And but for people to see the raid. OK, how are we going to write that?

Because that is the same story, you know, different conclusion or it has to be lighter here or whatever. Now they're basically finding ways to say. No, we want the impact across the board. You're in here running some sort of Mythic World first attempt. We want that for you, and we want you to get out of those things also. But also, hey, Larry, you only have an hour to play once a week.

You should get to see this too because you worked pretty hard on the rest of these quests, and now you're at the end and you have no closure. So from that viewpoint, that's a really cool way to do this. But you're right. It's not that I don't think they were. It's not like conniving, but they weren't like the way this was presented to us was not what I ended up getting. You know what I mean?

Yeah, beef it up. It shouldn't be just a little side thing. And also, it's a spider who can't even really talk to me. Like, what are we doing? That was just a weird way to do the whole thing. And I kept questioning myself. Am I doing the right thing? Because then it would split off into... Go into the middle of town and disrupt it and destroy all these things.

And then do this other thing in the middle of town. All right, well done. Now go talk to the vizier. And I'm like, am I just on a quest chain I missed the first time through here? That's how it felt.
