A few nights ago, there was a guild event hosted by my guild. We tried our best to re-create a boss-like fight for level 1 cows to raid. We crunched some numbers, did some tests and balanced it for 25 level 1 cows. The fight had 4 phases, different abilities set off with different macros and emotes. The "boss" had roughly 4000hp, took about 10 mins to kill, did moderate damage to people as you'll see. Sadly we didn't manage a way to hold threat or make spells effective against the "boss".
Its kind of like a Shade of Aran style fight.
The group wiped many times before getting a hold of it, and this was the video that captured it all.
From the "boss" perspective: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KpLsyk076Cc
From a raider's perspective: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ryVIbvNJ98 (video by Whity)
The video by Whity includes some of the wipes of the group.
Enjoy!
Edit: I've added the file to filefront so it can be downloaded and enlarged. Sadly, the quality is still pretty bad but you should be able to make out the words I'm shouting and the emotes I'm flashing. I thought the /moo as I was sheeping something was pretty darn funny.
This is the only kind of role playing that would be fun.
WTB raid instance that uses the same mechanics of a player controlled boss.
The clearcasting effect from "Holy Concentration" increased from 2/4/6% to 5/10/15%.
"Meditation" increased from 5/10/15% to 8/16/25%
OMG I JUST FIXED PRIESTS AND DIDNT NERF SOMETHING!
AGREED. 10/10 for effort, originality, and coolness. Everyone has talked about how many level 1s it takes to kill a 70, and even thought this isn't quite the same, it's the first video to really test it. Thumbs up.
There is a huge raid on a lvl 70 druid on some server when a a lot of other servers were down. It was totally not planned or anything. The druid eventually died when some high lvl came and killed him. I'll search for it.
lol so the player can either give free loot or kill all the healers first?
The player that is the boss gets loot if the raid dies.
The raid gets loot if the boss dies (perhaps use the badge system).
If it is balanced akin to shade of aran it can easily be done (he has no threat list, he just casts stuff)
The clearcasting effect from "Holy Concentration" increased from 2/4/6% to 5/10/15%.
"Meditation" increased from 5/10/15% to 8/16/25%

That looks like it would have been a lot of fun to be a part of.
Nice work organizing something like this.
That was freakin deep fried in awesomesauce, put on a plate made of solid allolinum, sprinkled with wtfdressing, and served with a large helping of pwncakes with a side of w00tbeer.
