LFG 3.3 First day experiences

[jettzypher]

had a group with 3 dps, and found a healer and tank within minutes of jumping on the system.

did 2/3 new heroics. they decided to reset right when we got to HoR. cleaned up some trash and got the first boss down. battered hilt dropped and i lost the roll miserably to the tank from another server. maybe tomorrow will be better for me (also need some weighted dice, mine dont roll for shit). while they seemed pretty easy, a bad group could easily fail in there. so far though i havent found anything about the heroics i dont like.

Once the servers finally came up and I fixed all the UI errors I drew Old Kingdom as my random. Not my favorite instance but competed it for my emblems. Next attempt random instance was not found and I still got the debuff, which was annoying. Waited it out pulled Gundrak which was easy enough. Third attempt instance not found again and got debuff again. Just ran H ToC instead of waiting for debuff and called it a night.

Overall I think this is a pretty cool tool. Having to find groups (before making my own) got old fast.

Well, the patch went off flawless, but I struggled with dungeons.

I did my dailies, was happy to see some rep increases for Frosthold and the Explorer's league from quests and heroic dungeons. That means I can take those two out-of-the-way daily quests off of my rotation.

I attempted to do the random heroic and was given Utgarde Pinnacle. I gave it a shot, first two bosses down easy-peasy. Skadi's trash then proceeded to wipe the floor with me.

I'm confident I could kill him no problem. But I just couldn't handle killing adds and launching the harpoons at the same time. I used my tank to launch the harpoons. I did it using the reset glitch, and to be honest, I think I may have better luck just going through the guantlet the normal way.

After a few deaths, I gave up and tried the random dungeon option again. It attempted to load CoS. I was pretty excited about that, but then I received an error message that it was, "Unable to find the instance." and I got kicked back out to the map and got the 15 minute "deserter" debuff. At that point, I basically said, "F it." and just ran Grundrak and went to bed.

At least Gundrak was easy :P

I've been getting that every now and then too, but you don't have to wait (well, at least I didn't have to). My instance didn't open, but as soon as I've got back from the loading screen, I could choose to teleport to my instance from the minimap icon. Might need to use that teleport twice, but in the end it always worked for my group.

Oooh, that's good to know. I'll be sure to remember to use that. I want to get my badges of Frost!

Thanks Klesh, I didn't actually try it after I got the debuff. That's good to know.

The instance not found thing is cause instance servers have been repeatedly going down since the patch.

I was lucky and got CoS for my random hero and blazed through it. Went to the new 5 mans on normal, got through FoS and PoS, doing the quest chain (with EoF rewards). Entered HoR and all 5 toons could move but nothing around them was moving. Could not zone out, could not stone, stuck button didn't work, and could not log out! As usual chat was working fine... someone said levitate was working to get up the last ramp in HoR to the flying boat, so if the bug is still there tonight I might grab my priest for the workaround to finish the instance.

I plan on going back to Heroic versions of the new 5 mans tonight if the stability is there.

Did anyone else who did the normal versions of the new 5 mans get badges off the bosses? I did and I thought it was wierd at the time. I remember thinking is this on heroic, then I looked at the ilvl on the drops and it was 219 (normal) not 232 (heroic). If this is true... Triumph badge farming just got yet another boost.

OMG! There is zero tanking rewards from the battered hilt! He's probably gonna sell it for 10k or transfer to an alt.

I just took my solo-box main toon (rogue) and did the first two heroics. All we could manage with the "additional instances cannot be launched" crap. I got the battered hilt, so my rogue will have a 251 MH sword soon. Also got a sidegrade 232 hat and an upgrade from my 213 thrown to a 232 crossbow.

[jettzypher]

yeah...but w/e. im gonna do heroics over and over anyways, ill get one soon...
