Every single group I join, everyone is in a different phase. I’m in the middle of the maw, trying to find a group for “Words of Warding”, and I just can’t get into the same phase as my group.
Aye, I no longer bother with the group finder because of this. As if I would bother going back to Oribos, and then return to the questing area just to do a few objectives? No. By the time I’ve come back the other people would be done and I have to do it all over again.
I am a half normal dungeon, half heroic dungeon geared paladin who keyboard turns. I can take down 117k mobs with ease as long as i pull them one by one and use cooldowns when neccesary. You can even skip most elites if you watch the patrol routes; i think i only had to kill two elites near the gate leading to the assassin spawn area and then the assassin himself. After that the invis cloak makes all other objectives and dailies easymode. It really isn’t that hard if you know how to play your class properly.
I solo all open-world group content, yes it’s possible. Don’t forget that the vast majority of players are not at this level of gameplay. The group finder is added, then the least they can do is make it functional. Right now they might as well remove it.
There are private servers out there with almost non-stop 12.000 players online… all of this without phasing.
There are only a couple of EU Retail Servers which can exceed that number, which are Draenor, Outland, Argent Dawn, Kazzak etc., by reaching to what I would assume 20k players. And with the infinite amount of cash Lizzard have at their disposal they are still not competent enough to provide the same quality services some private servers are able to.
The Maw doesn’t allow you to phase in and out of it through joining groups. You need to go back to Oribos, sometimes both of you, to be able to see each other in the Maw.
I hate blizzard technical quality, basically in this moment if i will turn warmode on i have no lag but i’m often ganked by 4-5 allies so game is unplayable, when i go warmode off i have 1,5s input lag which makes playing painful, the only place where lag is not present is instanced content, this is total BS for such huge company.
