MC was a nightmare to get into the que and to make it to the group while dying to everything. 40 pugs is definitely a challenge. fortunately i took the reins and lead them to victory. just took 5 hours. recommend friends or guild group until they fix the queuing issues.
Instant queue as dps, got in with 3 bosses to go. Then it turns out the helm, despite being 10 ilvls higher, isn't close to as good as the one I have... GG... You'd think with the way they're trying to push the new stats of Multistrike and Versatility, the helm would have at least one of those stats. Gotta say, it did the job perfectly. There was much nostalgia to be had - 40 man MC, running as a Frost Mage, and pretty much just hard-casting Frostbolt the entire time.. Oh, and decursing! It's been so long since a curse existed I had to find it on my bars...
No celebration package this year. :(I was hoping for a boost to level the rest of my characters.
I haven't been able to find any info on this yet. But when I was running MC Someone linked an epic 640IL Thunderfury. Do you know how they obtained it? I also saw someone link a blue version of it.
NICE GUIDE
MC was cake and 40 strangers managed to one shot every boss. As long as just a few of the raiders are old school'ers and don't mind standing up and leading this is so easy. Full clear in just over 2 hours.
Yet more "special events" geared to people who raid and PvP, but nothing for those who enjoy PvE & Dungeoneering. Way to go Blizzard.
I thought TM vs SS was great. I mean, just think about it. If you are a horde and go to Goldshire are you really going to belly ache about how many people they had vs you. Of course not, it is simulated pvp that happened in Vanilla. Do any of you remember that?
Added 10th anniversary hotfixes and Twitter clarification on Rag loot to the post.
10 years. I grew up thanks to that game. I was 10 now im 20. hah the time really flies away. Still... the game is awesome!
yes, but does Lil' Ragnaros still scream "Daddy, no!" when you win?
So not only is it lv. 100 but Ilevel 615 too -.-
I am so glad I got all the items on my first run, because there was no way I was going to run that nightmare again. Trying to deal with 39 other players that just want to AOE everything, and spawn 100 lava spawns was horrible.
You forgot to mention its LFderp. Trolls need to be fed.
dat old school feel
Now if they'd use the tech they have and open MC lfr up for level 90 players ... And make the BG work for players without WoD.
First, don't take me as a idiot because of this, but this raid was a WASTE of time. Ok, ok, the mount is hell of a beauty, the epic Head slot too, the pet and the Flame of Ragnaros too. As Lolus said, "biggest nightmare ever". As expected LFR made this old raid a pain without limits. I finished one time, and then when I started again next day, I feel all the dejection I didn't felt first time. It was like 2 hours in the first run, with half of the people knowing what to do. But next day was incredible, I'm not talking about players who never experienced that, being new on a raid is totally normal and everyone here were too. When you insist at the same mistake and do nothing to get better you can ruin everything; now imagine 40 people running around, without listen the most experienced players, misdirecting the tank when they want, do not turning away core hounds, imploding all the raid with a raid-wide stun, out sighting healers, etc. All because they hit 100 and do some damage. Again, nothing wrong with new players, but the most difficult part on new MC is the trash, most of the bosses were just a dps run. With raiders who didn't want to answer the callings, who didn't have any awareness of the surroundings, this experience start to being a trauma. On my second run, I was like 1 hour and a half and didn't make through Garr. I just left the raid. By no reason I will come back there. All for what? 5 pet drops, ONE flame of Ragnaros (0.03% drop chance) and the Epic Head Slot. Ten bosses, a lot of trash mobs, wipes, suicides, throws, bugs at the last boss, 1 hour+ queue to DPS classes... I don't know about you guys, but this was a unique run to my main char.
QQ about something free. Sad how people don't appreciate gifts. snip!
