/fail = + or - ?

So last night’s Heroic Violet Hold run wasn’t all that successful. At like 2300, after our 3rd try on the 2nd boss, we gave up. It always sucks when you have to just decide it’s not going to work. It sucks for a couple reasons…


  1. The instance beat you.

  2. You now have a high repair bill.

  3. You now put extra time into a fight you continually lost.

  4. You don’t get the boss loot (or gold to help w/ the repair bill).

And so on. But you know, it’s good for other reasons…
  1. You now have a lot more experience with that boss and what he does.

  2. You learn the quality of the people you’re in there with, on how they choose to handle the defeat.

  3. When you come back later and smash through the boss with the same group – it feels damn good.

  4. When Bliz comes out with an expansion and you solo the boss out of revenge – if feels even better.

So, probably not too long before we’ll be able to go back and beat the guy. I think it was mostly just a strategy issue, to be honest. And I like the setup of the instance, and how it works, so I’ve no doubt I’ll be back often and have plenty of chances to kill him. However, my guess is we won’t be going there tonight, lol.
