I'll never forget the first time a Fifth Column Boss went Warwolf on me in Independence Port.
Not least of which because I'd never even SEEN a Warwolf before. I'd been solo-ing or running missions with my friend Glenn who'd gotten me in the game. So I was a newbie level 20-ish sometime in mid-late November 2004 who had done some 5th Column missions. But somehow I'd never had one "Wolf-Out" on me. And neither had Glenn! So he didn't know to warn me either!
So here I am, on my first toon, a scrapper named Lora Doubet - street sweeping on an early mission in IP not too far from the Tram and Hospital. Have to take down 20 of these guys IIRC and I'm getting near the end...
"Okay... 17... not too long now, here's another group, this ought to finish it up.
Take the grenade thrower down... done. Boom! Foot to the face of the machine gunner. Big tall dude here with some extra flash on his chest, oh right... conning orange boss. No problem, no problem... Thunder Kick to Storm Kick to Crane Kick, sliver of health, almost there... "
RRRRAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!
*Boss wolfs out and goes back to full health*
"JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH WHAT?!?!?" Ironically it wasn't the
Warwolf that sent me to the hospital...
It was me backpedaling all the way into a
second group of 5th Column that did it...
