Screw Alterac Valley with their faction leader bosses, they are Hogger to the new BG boss.
The DC boss.
He takes many forms, changing to meet the desire utmost of your heart.
- Mage food – he looks like a Mage table.
- Health stones – she looks like a Lock candy fountain
- Buff food – he looks like the oh-so desirable fish feast, or great feast, in fact any feast that gets your characters mouth watering is the DC boss.
- As for those noobs fighting for the flag in EotS when there are bases yet uncapped… Welcome to your greatest desire… THE DC BOSS!
If course if you do manage to grab the flag without meeting the DC boss, don’t take it to Fel Reaver Ruins, cause that’s bugged (won a few EotS this weekend while the Horde tried in a futile attempt to cap it there).
Of course your greatest desire when in a BG is recovering from a quick death, letting that spirit healer fill you full of health and mana so you can sacrifice your body and soul for the cause.
Deathwing’s minion, the spirit healer laughs upon you and you remain, Rez spawn after Rez spawn a helpless spirit.
Kind of makes it hard to bring your best to BGs, even if you are now fully geared in Wrathful.
Solutions?
Tell people not to summon the good stuff.
If they do, keep your mouse away from it.
The flag is a bugger, you just need to take your chances with that.
FFR – You do own more than one base don’t you?
Spirit non-Healer… Run away little Gnome! Then when out of Rez range, hit the big Return to Graveyard button… Works most of the time.
Getting Nasty
Of course, if you have a nasty streak, you can use this to your advantage.
I wouldn’t and haven’t, but I have heard of those nasty Horde leaving a feast at the flag, so people get two chances at disconnecting when trying for the flag… even running past if was enough.
Or if you can’t take all 4 bases in Eye of the Storm, why not leave Fel Reaver Ruins to your flag running opponents.
If they don’t DC when they try to pick it up, they have no where to plant it.
Of course it could all be fixed tonight…
I’m off to ride my new horse… maybe I’ll ride it in the BGs!
Gnomer and Out!
PS: Did you see the Raid from the Heart Video?
Last year’s Swingers soundtrack is one of my favorites.. this years another favorite, made all the better by the excessive presence of a certain hyperactive Gnome that you all know, and hopefully love.
Now I just have to work out how to get 40mb of screenshots to BBB…

Ugh, tell me about it. Been farming for my wrathful set, and getting d/ced every other bg.
When it goes in your favour, it’s fantastic, when it doesn’t… not so much.
I got a cap on an AB base last night, while the DC’d Hordie just stood there… it was a risk I was happy to take.
I’m sorry to hear this is all hurting your play fun, man. Still, as expected you’re not only making the best of it, but you’re turing it to your own evil advantage. Well played, sir.
Meh, PvP hurts in general.. it’s kind of par for the course.
While it’s frustrating that the bread bin my be boobytrapped, capturing the base may mean a little time out and the doctor may not release us back into battle when we want to return to battle… It is nothing like conditions the real armed force have to handle… and how much of the visible world can they trust?
I may find a booby trap, but I still get to sit back and enjoy my beer while I wait for WoW to come back to life.
Yeah…been staying away from a lot of stuff that summons the DC Boss. He’s annoying, and you never know when he’ll pop up! It’s like…Turn a corner…accidentally mouse over something and BAM! DC. Sigh…reload.
Thank you for making me laugh!
Even with CogFix, I am still getting occasional DCs when mousing over things in BGs and instances.
So, no lock candy for you. Sorry. It’s for your own good.
thank you for your advises/solutions, I kept the mouse away from the people and it has worked, great article
