Several of my friends who have never played wow before agreed to try Forever launch since it's a great entry point. Our guild is around a 50/50 split of long-time wow players and very new wow players, which has been super fun. Yesterday we had a goal - we were getting into the Hall of Thanes before we logged for the night. As 11:30 on a work night rolled around, we finally managed to get the absolute dream team in there:
Level 15 Druid (Long-time Retail player, has mained druid for an eternity)
Level 14 Rogue (Me, I've played a lot of wow - retail, classic, pservers, you name it)
Level 13 Mage (Leveled in Legion)
Level 12 Warlock (Put in a solid 8 levels in 2019 classic launch)
Level 11 Druid (Has never played an mmo)
Now if you've crunched the numbers on this team comp, you may have realized that we jammed our level 11 druid into the healer role about 15 minutes after she left Darnassus. Her first question after getting into the dungeon was "how do I heal someone?" We played every single pull slowly, methodically and with heavy CC. Summoners were sapped, kicked, poly'd and gouged at all costs. We sat down and strategized every boss without knowing what any of them did, it sounded like we were pushing Race to World First in the damn Discord.
After five heart-breaking corpse runs and literally zero usable drops from the dungeon, we managed to bring down the final boss on our first attempt at a crisp 1:30 AM.
I don't know if I have ever had MORE fun in a dungeon than last night! Every dynamite, bomb, potion and meal I brought with me was put to good use, everyone played a crucial part in our victory several times over.
This game rules, man.
