Just ran Azjol-Nerub, and there was new healer player, who greeted everyone with “Hi”, immediately there was copy paste message from 11 twink: “hey im a leveling booster, if you want personal boost just whisper and ask, my price is 2500g per dung, very fast runs and leveling”.
Bro ran so fast no one could catch him, the healer was so confused and died multiple time, with no one answering. Kinda felt bad for them. Seen this so many times during TWW event now it’s so stressing. I feel bad for those who want to “play” the game themself, this is not de way.
I use dbm, but thank you anyway. That said I don´t see how others can have problems with mechanics that are telegraphed so hard and /or have voice emotes a sbosses and even some trash does these days. But maybe that’s just me, as I still remember a time before DBM and Bigwigs existed where we still had to figure out what happens when
The problem was simply that at the time firemage was still far undertuned and also brann was level 10, 15 or something and had like 6 level 2 land 3 level 1 curios or something like that… we´re talking about week 1 or 2 of the season here, long before the spec got numerous buffs. I mean no disrespect or to cound cocky, but I´m not a new or inexperienced player, nor someone that usually needs to reroll just to complete casual content @ get a ret paladin.
Nobody said anything about introduicing diablo gearing, it´s merely an example of an infinitely scaling system that at least semi works.
try killing an egg with the camera at your back missing his heal or better yet getting his OHK to the back as you can’t see it… DBM plays the game for you lol…
Well Blizzard designed content without addons in mind before.
If you couldn’t do it in week 1 or 2 when brann did the work then lol…
Ret because its got all the tools for the fight…
And how do you combat mobs in that infinite scaling without gear… See Levelling now hit 74 and you got no power
So, not exploiting brann to level 60 before everyone got reset to 25 max is and using a spec that´s almost unversally regarded as broken is now a skill issue?
We´´ll just have to agree to disagree, because we clearly have both wildly different approaches to playing the game as well as viewpoints on what constitutes skill.
This problem has nothing to do with twinking. Twinks have existed (in peace) for well over a decade. The fundamental issue is to do with scaling through Chromie Time, which is create an unwanted cross over between low levels and high levels doing the same content together (makes zero sense). Removing Chromie Time would be the first major leap into reinstilling a sense of coherence and normality into the leveling experience of Retail WoW.
This was level 70 Vengeance DH. There was similar thing that happened to me again in Halls of Lightning with self advertising booster in the run. Dude ran so fast, left us all behind at the start, I dont know what the lighting dwarf ads do, but they dot you with electic dot, and we were all dying to it one by one. And at the last boss, when we were closing in to Loken, the tank was soloing it, we all died to some unseen aoe miles away while trying to get to boss. After the boss died, the tank had the nerve to spam “Offering boosting service, 1000g per run, fast runs , stay in the party if you want to continue, payment by trade before new run.”
We sat there, 4 of us was dead no one could ress, the tank was DH, it was so comedic I cannot even get angry, I just accept this is World of Warcraft, before, now and the future. It’s never going to change, just need to accept it. And yes we had to run from the start to get loot, at least for me I was farming time badges, so I didnt just leave after dungeon is done.
i’m not against level 10 twinks just don’t use rdf to boost your alt… i don’t have to keep up with your boost i want to play the game. i don’t want to leave & get deserter either.
it’s literally gameplay disruption the way they DEMAND certain stuff like dont attack, dont let my alt stay behind etc.
Don’t stand in melee when they spin… Not unseen AOE… the boss does one you hide behind the pillar… and you need to stack on boss as range takes more damage… This isn’t a twink issue this is a player needs to learn issue.
I was just kicked from a dungeon because the rest of the group were too bad at the game to not ninjapull a bunch of random trash lmao.
Besides, if you put up a statement “I play to play, not to be carried.” I can guarantee you without a doubt that you’re still being carried. You’re probably lowest on the DPS meters anyway lmao
WHile he doesn´t know the mechanic that killed him, that knowledge would have done him no good inn teh run, because
the dot from teh dwarves is not a melee attack, and has always had unlimited range for reasons that already frustrated us back in OG Wrath.
the demon hunter has enough speed to be on loken while the others are barely halfway through the room after Ionar… their collective deaths to Loken’s AoE were inevitable, and something the DH entirely calculated with and accepted as a reasonable loss. Arguably a valid reason to report him for griefing… That´s for CS to decide, I probably would have, because runs like that inevitably take the fun out for everyone that wan´ts something even remotely resembling gameplay.
Had an issue with two level 10 tank twinks. First one was a paladin who could keep agro but got hit like a truck. Second was 20 mins ago. Zul’farrak and pulled half the instance- not joke. They must have been fury spec, couldn’t keep aggro with most and killed everyone. I decided to take the debuff.
Absolutely, they´re also handicapping the group by at least one player… ignore + report. If possible votekick, if not suck it up and enjoy that ignore means you will never be auto-grouped with that player´s account ever again.
I don´t have issues with people carrying their alts or speedrunning dungeons.
But I have a MAJOR problem with anyone who believes that their will is law, especially in randomly grouped content where nobody has any choice. These ego-driven people need to simply be permabanned from using any LFG systems unless they have a 5 man premade, period. They can still carry their alts though Timewalking, they just have to build a group that is OK with adhering to their wishes, first. It will likely fail on the lack of social competence they display by doing these things to begin with, but that´s their problem, not ours.
Personally, I don’t understand what is wrong with the Level 10/11 twinks, so long as they know what they’re doing.
During WoTLK Timewalking, I had a Warrior Prot Twink who didn’t even need to be healed. He just steamrolled through the instances (started with Forge of Souls and then we did about 6 more and finished with Forge of Souls again) and I got my Night Elf Druid from 70 to 75 in about 45 minutes.
I do understand it when it’s the twinks who pull and wipe everyone though
That is what happened, the dwarf dot was not from melee attack. And after the second last boss Ionar died, the DH was at Loken in seconds, meanwhile we others were still running in second last room got blasted by unseen AoE 2 rooms away. I don’t know what this Croil dude means its player needs to learn issue, there was nothing we could have done.
I rather they fix the scaling issues a lvl 10 shouldn’t be able to carry lvl +74 players and Lvl +74 players the mobs health and damage should be way nerfed again because at that lvl when farming timewalking the dungeon becomes way harder than it should be because we are getting out geared.
As it stands right now, doing timewalking is very often not fun. Sure getting carried by a level 11 that can solo the whole dungeon can be interesting to some, and maybe Blizzard does think it is a good practice to allow boost sellers to ruin other players enjoyment.
Had the great experience playing as a lvl 72 tank, doing a timewalking group where a lvl 20 priest who signed up as a healer could just essentially solo the dungeon themselves, and had no interest in healing me. Which meant any time I tried to tank I just died, in a well designed game there would be ‘punishments’ for letting the tank die. But here the ‘healer’ could just finish off the mobs themselves leaving me to ress and then die in the next fight because of no healing. And then get deserter buff when I get fed up.
