Rumor...

[Velassra]

Heard a rumor that the new emblems are going to require heroics (randomly chosen) w/ a random PuG in your group to get. Guess it's going onto the ptr.


Bad system is bad imo.

In other news.....

The sky IS falling.

[Velassra]

Wrong.

You get EXTRA emblems for randomly pugging.

Ah ic. As long as they don't decide to double the emblem price of rewards then I guess.

I can't see why they would add this in anyway.

I PuG on an 80 priest, never had an issue getting a group as either Shad. or Disc. I just can't see why they did this.

lolpugging




oh wait, I actually do pug pretty frequently

Apparently, if you do a full random PuG, the "leader" gets like 70g or something in bonus cash. (?!)

And the new instancing / LFG system works like BGs - once you queue up, you get instantly transported to the instance!

a.) Not worth the headaches.

b.) Imo bad system.

Intersting, no PuG Arenas yet.

I think that's a great feature, but how many pugs will be torn apart by "If I can't lead, I'm leaving". oh well I guess.

Hmm, where did you guys read this? From the information i've seen posted the 2 emblem reward from the daily quest is constant while the amount of gold rewarded from the quest is dynamic and scales based on the number of random group members.

Does anyone know how the random element works? Does it just pick 4 other people from LFG channel and if so, whats stopping you from endlessly "rolling the dice" to get your 4 alts? Does it put "cooldowns" on people you have grouped with?

Well thats just it - the "leader" is the guy who starts inviting people. So perhaps everyone will never accept an invite because they want to lead? lol

That would be fine, just start the daily as lead on your main, and then only accept with your clones. Get the bonus and no one else cares, since they only wanted to be leader.

I can't wait for the tank and healer who get joined to my group: "WTF IS THIS!?!?!"

Me: "Don't worry :8"

[daviddoran]

gonna be interesting, to say the least. Im loving the instant teleport to entrance feature.... would make the goddamn Headless Horseman easier to get to..... there were like 100 horde camping everywhere between the instance portal and the summoning stone, i had to corpse hop, and id barely make it 10 feet before i even knew what was happening.... and the lag, oh the lag....

time to figure out how to macro joining LFG.....

[Naysayer]

So, as leader do you pick the rest of the group or is it random?
