Every instance group was formed with people having no idea what they were going to face, but just being ready to go tackle it. If someone had been to an instance before, they wouldn't say anything in party chat to 'spoil' it, they'd just let the others in the group experience it for the first time. <BR/><BR/>We're still doing the same thing when we step into heroics, and guild/party chat still tends to be very very vague about strategies for the people who are still levelling up slowly. It's really great, and hearing someone say how much an instance/encounter/quest amazed them always makes me smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-13367293045243610772008-11-27T16:08:00.000+01:002008-11-27T16:08:00.000+01:00@Amortia: thank you!

I get so happy when regular guests who have been hiding in a dark corner finally speaks up and say hi!<BR/><BR/><BR/>@Gevlon and 2ndnin: yeah, I think you're right. It IS a bit saddening it went so easily, but mind you, it's still on normal. I expect something completely different on heroics... Time will show if I'll get it or if I'll get disappointed.<BR/><BR/>@Eishen: as you I try to enjoy the fun of exploring when it is there for me. It's a one-time opportunity. I find it hard to judge if it's easier than TBC or not. When I did the instances in TBC at the right level I don't think I had as good gear as I have now, coming from high-level raiding. (in TBC I had barely done anything but quested.) So I figured the instances would have been harder to me if I had been new to the game and in fresh gear.<BR/><BR/>Actually I can imagine this one would be lots tougher in heroic. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>@Esdras: oh, the priviliege of being a healer: always being wanted. Mages aren't that rare.<BR/>But fishing and cooking will hve to wait for me. I want to get to 80 asap. That's my only focus right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-45042741679228172692008-11-27T13:53:00.000+01:002008-11-27T13:53:00.000+01:00Didn't that annoy you Lar?Entering an instance, un...Didn't that annoy you Lar?<BR/><BR/>Entering an instance, unprepared, unaware and without pre-knowledge and not failing?<BR/><BR/>I ran this last night with a few people, and it was the same deal, we ran into the room with Brann, and pulled 3 of the 4 golems, no wipe there despite it being a stupid pull, same thing earlier on before the Gruul boss turn off we pulled 3 packs of mobs, and no deaths. I am acting like a stupid tank now because I know it won't hurt, and it really should, SH can still kill me (well it could @ 70) if I ran them like this in T6, doing it at 80 in pre-T7 seems horribly wrong to me.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415648946567949701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-60875184301939097912008-11-27T13:39:00.000+01:002008-11-27T13:39:00.000+01:00Its good is it, i have started to just wing it a b...Its good is it, i have started to just wing it a bit when i log on.<BR/><BR/>As a priest i forever get the "Are you a healer".<BR/><BR/>And as i am i get invited to at least 1 instance every 30 mins and its great.<BR/><BR/>I have been questing lately but ive started to fish a lot and cook also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-50785275343179659702008-11-27T10:02:00.000+01:002008-11-27T10:02:00.000+01:00Wotlk is being a lot easier than TBC, that is a fa...Wotlk is being a lot easier than TBC, that is a fact that doesn´t like to everybody, I don´t know if it will be for better or worse in the long run but for now i´´m having fun discovering by trial-and-error for my own the instances.<BR/><BR/>I have liked so much questing that have only made two or three instance runs to 80 so I´m going directly in heroic mode (at the least you allways have reputation points even if loot doesn´t show for you) and its MUCH fun o discover little tactics to win <BR/><BR/>As a side note, I could not beat the dwarf escort in halls of stone heroic, I think brann (the dwarf) is undergeared for that instance ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-49311790367185646122008-11-27T08:09:00.000+01:002008-11-27T08:09:00.000+01:00Same thing happened to me, but actually it saddens...Same thing happened to me, but actually it saddens me. You went in unprepared, still, you smashed the instance without any trouble.<BR/><BR/>Explorers should face some challenges I think. Moving in unprepared, wiping some and conquer the instance would be epic. Now it's just grinding. You move in, you nuke the monsters, you return the quest.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-67174257390734132322008-11-27T06:09:00.000+01:002008-11-27T06:09:00.000+01:00Hi :)I'm a long time reader of your blog, first ti...Hi :)<BR/><BR/>I'm a long time reader of your blog, first time poster.<BR/><BR/>First of all let me say that I love your blog and enjoy reading it :)<BR/><BR/>Secondly I'd just like to say that I agree with your post about being unprepared, yet utterly happy.<BR/><BR/>My guild recently ran through a few of the new 5-man instances where there was an almost complete lack of guidance anywhere. We didn't know what to do, or what to expect after we had done something, and it really was a great feeling, something that is rare. It was really refreshing being able to do something that wasn't the proper way to take down a boss, but we had fun and many laughs while working it all out :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's all for now, keep up your great blog writing :)Amortiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144483991932811546noreply@blogger.com
