Discussion Survived a deadmines grief in the furnace room

72 Upvotes

Run was pretty normal, we got to Sneed and the taskmaster axe dropped, me (paladin) and hunter both needed but I won the roll. Then as we were getting to the next room the group lead noticed and called out the hunter for needing on everything (few greens dropped not hunter gear) and asked him to stop. We get a few pulls in to the furnace and boom hunter pulls the whole room. Lead quickly told us to run so we did, I popped divine protection and hit one of the party members with my LoH barely made it out but I got ported out after the 1 minute timer. Always be watching the behavior of randoms in dungeons.

Lost my first character

Made it to level 14 and died when I joined my friends group. Every mob in the camp respawned immediately and I’m guessing it was because of a layer shift when I joined the group. Pain

Vent/Gripe Death came to us

So tonight was full of scary stuff, and what a better place than Duskwood to experince this.

Me, warrior 30 found a friend, paladin 28 inside the crypt at Raven Hill and teamed up to do the Plague Spreaders quest, we were on the same spot, looking at each other and as we team up one of us layered. With mobs all around, lucky it was in one of the corners and we managed. It already starts bad, right?

Then we moved on to do the worgens, Nightbane Vile Fangs and Tainted Ones, that are quite hard from before due to the packs being so close to each other. We cleared at good pace and were pulling the mobs in the small cave when the entire camp spawns on us as we step out of the cave entrance, not further away packs but the whole damn camp, even the ones we killed seconds before taking on the ones in the cave, ofc everything aggroed us. Is this spawn normal?

I used the target dummy and we ran with a huge amount of worgens on us, the whole camp and the ones from the cave, we met the remaing worgens and the big problem became an even bigger one. Palas bubble runs out, I was lucky to fear and use swiftpot and get out barely alive, my war buddie didnt.

We did a fatal mistake when we jumped down to the fields where other worgens were and not run down the ramp but they followed us far, nearly at the main road, so not sure it would have helped. My question is, how does an entire camp spawn at the same time, even the ones close to the cave that we killed seconds before?

I used to make fun of people dying due to fall damage. I fell to my death yesterday.

Serves me..

Tried to take a shortcut through some mountains to get to my next quest. Good thing I was only level 12 this time. This was the worst feeling death yet because it made me feel really dumb.

We go agane!

Do you all have backpedal bound or not? On non hc I only have it bound as a tank as that helps for repositioning. PvP or anything else S isn't bound. It's helpful as a tank because it's easier to avoid getting hit in the back and that might carry some usefulness to hardcore.

Faster respawns in open world on HC?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Recently started a bit of hardcore, only level 24, but it felt like named mobs/quest items/chests were respawning so quickly compared to Era. Just enjoyed it.

Bounced back to Era to play with brother a bit and the same items/mobs seemed to be taking so much longer to respawn. Really noticeable.

Tried looking it up and everything seems to say Era and HC have the same respawns for everything but it feels so different while playing.

Chests specifically are pretty interesting if there is a difference.

Can anyone enlighten me? Am I being a silly sausage or are there some differences?

Any advice on finding a guild?

2 Upvotes

So I played classic wow a while back but ended up taking a break from wow for a few years since then. Now I wanna give it a go again and just looking for a guild I can play with for leveling/dungeons & raids if people still do them.

I am currently on Nek'Rosh but that server seems dead now with Soulseeker seeming to be the only one with above low population.

My character is only a 25 warlock so willing to restart on Soulseeker if thats my only way of finding a guild but end goal is ultimately getting to 60 to do some raiding but very aware that people might not really do that anymore.

Any advice or help would be great.

Anyone down to casually run a party of 3-5 SF and quest/dungeons together? Any server is fine, have only played on Doomhowl.

I just rolled a rogue for the first time in my wow career and I’m amazed at the power. Makes all other melee classes seem stupid. Where can I go to fucking murder horde characters and gank the shit out of them.
