Dungeon finder in TBC

You too, read my first comment.

It’s full of facts.

There was a LFG tool in TBC back in the day (which almost nobody used BTW) and there will be a LFG tool in classic TBC. All you have to do is open it and whisper to the people in the list to find a group, which doesn’t seem too hard IMO. No need for auto-invites and such.

If I understand correctly what the developers have said so far is that they want to recreate the original experience as much as possible but fixing some things that did not feel right like the drums of battle being pretty much mandatory for everybody in the top-end guilds to give you an example because, you know how it works with players nowdays, if it is mandatory for the top-end guilds then it would become mandatory for almost everyone, like happened in classic with world buffs and such and, on a personal note, it would be very very sad to see a PUG for Karazhan requiring drums of battle for everybody, and you know it would happen.

So whenever you read that #somechanges tag make sure you don’t assume #anychanges because it really is not what they mean. The modern version of the game is Shadowlands. Since many WOW players don’t like the modern version they play classic WOW, and classic TBC when it gets released. Don’t expect them to turn TBC into a kind of Shadowlands clone with old content because you assume #anychanges from #somechanges. They would loose most of the classic players instantly which is bad for business.

I have a fact for you.

You have no concept of what a fact is and are using the term when you mean “my minority opinion”.

Also - your the one being a moron by playing classic and moaning that it’s classic and not retail and then acting offended when people point out this failure in logic and rightly tell you where to go and find the dungeon finder you alone crave.

It’s obvious to all others in this thread.

Imagine if these kids played back in 2005. They’d hate it.

I think you need to read up the difference between fact and opinion

It’s a recreation of a game. What is annoying or not is irrelevant.

We already have dungeon finder today. You can use it right now. What we don’t have is what we had back then.

You are so lost.

Little kid is getting mad?

Or what is your problem?

This is all about TBCC, not Classic like it is now.

That is the fact what you missed.

Did I hurt your feelings too much? Princess…

I think you’re mixing “full of facts” with “full of crap”. You’re presented with factual, logical arguments, you just ignore them and mindlessly repeat the same idiocies that have already been debunked.

Problem is that voluntary turns into mandatory. If even a few people start to do autoaccept, then you end up with everyone having to enable auto accept or groups will just wait till someone que’s up that has auto invite on. Don’t underestimate the lazyness of people!

There is an actual LFG tool in TBC. It was much more archaic than the LFD tool from WotLK but it was there. You could list your role and what dungeon you are looking for.

Best of all, you can’t get discriminated by writing your spec or ilvl if I remember correctly (just role and dungeon). It will make any Classic / retail tryhard rage so much because of that (not being able to discriminate without the need to inspect) if it ever become popular.

OT: I don’t know. I have mixed feelings about it. We know it worked perfectly at the peak of WoW in WotLK but i think i did work only because dungeons were really easy. TBC dungeons are not the same beast. You need spesific CCs etc. The auto-grouping aspect i like but i am not sure it’s a good fit for TBC.
The teleport thing not really. I still have nostalgia about swimming to the Steam vault etc and ganking horde on my sl/sl lock there. I think it’s important to not have the teleport to insure the future of ganking in TBC :slight_smile: we all saw how well that worked in phase 2 Classic. Proper game killer right there haha.

Short answer: NO
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No you couldn’t chose you role, you had to type a comment like “healer gud gear”
You could ‘only’ search for 3 different dungeons at the time and ilvl wasn’t invented yet.
Infact you couldn’t even inspect people’s talents, you had to take his world that he was infact a holy paladin and not a ret pally in a dress.

Omg, the worst of both worlds. The automatic group finder that was introduced late in WotLK, it was the beginning to the end of WoW for me. My DPS players, took 3 times as long to find a group, my healer was about the same, my tank was instant, but for some reason I always ended up with terribad players, so I ended up never joining unless I could get at least 1 DPS from my guild, even if it then took way longer to find a group for some reason. The 2 of us could carry the group through any dungeon, so we got our marks, no matter how bad the rest of the group were.
But it absolutely ruined the community. They will probably make WotLK too a few years down the line, but it autogrouping is implemented, that is the end for me and many others. A list where you can see name, lvl, class and willing roles for people wanting certain dungeon is fine, but automatic dungeons is the bane of wow if there ever was one. It murders the community, slowly, but surely.

wait another year for wrath of the lich king and we will get dungeon auto grouping. Vanilla and TBC did not have them so they wll not have in remake either.

I will argue A LOT against Dungeonfinder in WOTLK Classic if we ever get that.

What makes Dungeon Finder so extremely absurd is the fact that you get punished for not using it.

Players that use that tool get teleported to the dungeon automatically with zero effort AND get a massive percentage based “Luck of the Draw” damage/hp/healing buff. Players that form their own group and travel to the dungeon don’t get this buff. The tool is directly an incentive to NOT group up with friends.

The fact that the buff is percentage based means that the better gear you have, and the less you need it, the stronger it gets… The easier it is, the easier it becomes. It’s just absurd. And that is on top of all the other obviously bad things with Dungeon Finder.

If you want modern gaming, go to a modern game. If you don’t have the time to look for groups, you don’t have the time to play WoW classic. If your time is too precious to play that oh-so-horrible part of the game, don’t waste your precious time playing classic.

Easy as that. Go away now.

Ah nvm then, i did not remember that we could write anything. Thank you for the clarification. It will be the same issues as M+ pugging on retail then sadly. Bring the spec / gear > bring the player. Now i know i really have to boost a destro lock and give up any hope of finally playing moonkin.
