Okaaaaaaay.

The boss fights in WoW are pretty much the same thing, raid or not.
Charge boss, attack, heal, attack attack, heal, loot.

I mean c'mooooon, you do that for every boss fight! Talk about boring.

So while i was watching the Resident Evil 5 death scenes (very entertaining), i thought, "Hey! Would'nt it be cool if the boss rush's you, grabs you, CHOKES the life out of you while you try to get out of his hold, and if you fail the boss then lands a critical hit, then tosses your body aside; yet if you survive and manage to get out of the bosses hold, your character does a cool racial move to get out of the bosses hands and you land a critical hit on 'em.

What if WoW had quicktime events?

This would be very interesting, boss rush's you, button sequence comes up (in real time) where you press certain keys on your keyboard (noticable keys, like enter and space at the same time)., you dodge boss's crit.

What're your thoughts?

How about a rhino that charges you and impales you on their horn while your group attempts to keep you alive?

Q u o t e:
Isn't the Malygos fight pretty dynamic compared to most other bosses? You get tossed around a lot, hyjack spinning disks and ride them around to shoot down other flying discs, then the floor blows up and you hop on to dragons and finish him off.


Wait for Ulduar because there will probably be more fights similar to that. You can't really judge Naxx seeing as that's still old world content that most people never saw.


Also, a good point.
