In this thread, feel free to leave feedback on the new Elemental Rune Dungeons: Protocol Twilight, after you’ve playtested them on the Cataclysm Classic PTR.
Please see our full development notes here.
please make the ilvel requirment higher then 353, we dont have the progression from normal-hc-inferon-twillight we should. at 353 we can just buy bloodthirsty gear and go in and do almost 0 dmg and grief our group. atleast make the ilevl 365. i beg of you.
The following trinkets :
- Matrix Restabilizer
- Vessel of Acceleration
- Variable Pulse Lightning Capacitor
- The Hungerer
- Jaws of Defeat
- Scales of Life
- Eye of Blazing Power
- Spidersilk Spindle
Why is the BoE trash trinket Scales of Life available but not Apparatus of Khaz’goroth?
- Why include 1 BoE trash trinket, but not the other.
- Why do you continue shafting Plate Melees who need to pay 20-50k for their BiS trinket in first 2 tiers? Just let people buy the Str trinket as well, nobody will care at this point.
Also, increase the iLvl requirement to at least 359, or even 365. 150% hp with extra mechanics is going to be a horrible experience with 353 avg. ilvl players.

So, the entire DS tier will be about getting full “bis” gear from the dungeons and then only upgrading the itemlevel in the raid?
well after running a few of the new twilight protocol dungeons i gotta say this is some crazy mess you have put together and will need alot more testing then a weekend as most players are gonna be focused on the raid and not dungeons but my pointers comes here
Blue buff is completly not workable in the dungeon enviorments that we are running today, there is no group that will stand will for over 1 min to let stacks build to get any use of it and having an 10 second lockout from reganing the buff is way to long, we are always on the move and constantly need to move. In my opinion this buff would need a rework to get useful in the dungeons.
Bronze buff is alright but might need some tunning to not drop from none damaging abilitys, even a simple none damage psuhback seems to be droping the buff.
red and green i have not gotten around testing so cant mention alot around it but the tanking one dont seem to make big diffrence for dk’s and that is completly fine as they already have massive damage and dont really need it.
But now comes the big thing the slimes that spawn on the bosses, intresting idea but atm they are spawning within 5-10 yards from the boss and have over 1100k hp. there is no way for a dungeon group to even kill one of these and would never even try to do so as they is almost 10-20% of the boss hp and is a complete waste of time to try and kill. the mechanic of the slimes them self really makes the fights harder and people need to know what every slimes dose, (good traning for dragon soul) but yes they need way less hp and spawn further away from the boss so people can kill them and they should not have what 100% mount speed when running to the boss.
the main problem i see atm the slimes will more or less remove and buffs for dps what so ever, thanks to having to move and then all the aoe damage that comes with them.
TDLR: the whole protocol system seems rushed as hell and need major reworks and improvements and I can almost promise there will not be enough players out there testing this dungeons to get an good opinion on the systems and mechnics.
then to the vendor, good ideas but lots of items missing even more so, some items that are bis for many for next phase from firelands are not in the vendors. Also just pick one hc or normal dont have a mix of both hc and normal gear in there, that make no seens, give us hc or normal loot not both.
Also what the point of putting in T12 helmet and shoulders normal when people can just get T13 set instead and completly ignore them.
Next thing to debunk what LFR cloaks there are no cloaks in DS there are for valor but that is it or are you guys making new items ?? and then as someone above me said you are giving us some trinkets but not all where is Apparatus of Khaz’goroth?? you are already giving scales of life that is a boe. where is bis cloak for agi users ? (Dreadfire Drape), like i get it your attentions are nice but there really should be alot more though and time put into this things befour even providing them to use to testing. not a rushed 3 week ptr befour release of new phase and giving ptr notices 1 day befour they start.
like yes there might be thing just missed in the blue post like last time but then again then give us the vendors in the PTR so we can test and check for you if stuff are missing, feel so bad to test half added things when we are there to test them.
well that was my rant about what i tested and notice so far hope the read aint to bad english not main langauge and my grammer is not the best.
have a great night everyone !
Please remove the item level from the pvp craftable gear with resilience on it.
These items have been and will be abused again to get into those dungeons and lead to toxic situations for the rest of the group.
