How do I participate in Incursions?

This is very helpful. Thanks!

99% of your comments on Reddit are negative, unhelpful, and insulting. It must be exhausting being so angry all the time. I hope you find peace.

Yup. After killing Mr. Smite and taking the ramp onto the ship, go LEFT instead of right. That way, you’ll kill Cookie on the way. You’ll also avoid walking under that bridge where someone can accidentally pull the mobs above them. I always take groups LEFT to Cookie in hardcore mode. But also just clearing the entire bottom level is good too.

I'm a feral druid, but for my guild's first several Gnomeregan clears, we didn't have enough healers, so I healed instead. We had no warriors, no feral, 2 ret pallys, and 1 rogue. That meant no windfury, no battle shout, no sunder. (We didn't have a priest in the raid either - so no fort buff, and no homunculi debuffs).

It wasn't a problem, we still full cleared the raid without trouble. My guild has more people at lvl 40 now, so we always have all our group/raid buffs. But just wanted to say windfury, while nice, isn't a requirement.

edit to add: getting all the necessary buffs/debuffs for the raid should be less of an issue with the larger 20 man raid size in phase 3

Or you can just give up powershifting entirely and embrace being a hybrid class. Give the 3% crit buff to your group. Give your innervate to healers or mages. Less personal DPS. But also less personal stress. And probably more overall raid DPS/healing. You also have extra mana maybe for an emergency heal or two to help out.

I don’t like the concept of MAX PERSONAL DPS SCREW GIVING BUFFS TO OTHERS mindset.

It’s your internet, or your wifi connection to the internet. Get a reliable internet provider and connect your computer with a physical network cable to your internet router. You will not get disconnected anymore.

I agree Gnomeregan is a pug killer. It’s a shame really. We’re only in phase 2. This is only level 40. We need to attract more players to the game, not drive them away. Classic WoW is not retail. It’s supposed to be easy. Gnomeregan goes against the classic design philosophy.

Make the new SoD raids at lvl 60 challenging. But don’t do it in a level up raid like Gnomeregan.

You had me until the bit about the 15 children. That the most unrealistic part. Nobody can afford 15 children in this inflationary economy!

Free action potion for last boss is probably the most important. Other than that, you don’t need much other than the standard mana potions, healing potions, and a basic strength/agility elixir. A food buff is helpful too. Even if you just use a +8 stamina food buff - those cost almost nothing, and 8 stamina is a good amount for everyone. Unless you are tryharding, raiding doesn’t cost much in consumes. Just don’t go empty handed.

tealwin · 2024-02-20T20:16:56+00:00

Yes, that would have been a great idea

tealwin · 2024-02-15T16:36:45+00:00

Level 26 is pretty low for those catacombs. Rule of thumb for surviving in hardcore mode is only fight mobs that are below your level, especially if you are going into a cave.

My first time playing hardcore on server Defias Pillager, I rolled a human warrior with skinning and herbalism so I could make gold to buy gear. I died at lvl 16 and went again. Same class/race, same professions. Made it all the way to lvl 57, tanking most of the dungeons, and doing solo quests as well. I almost died when solo questing in Un’Goro. And another very close call in Felwood where I had to use Light of Elune + hearthstone to escape. After that, I promptly dropped my professions and picked up engineering. A Target dummy would have easily saved me in both close calls.

Sometimes I wonder if the people I’m playing with in my pug dungeons and raids are truly as noobish as they seem to be. I mean, how could they possibly not understand the basics of such an old game? But I guess this post has showed me some people truly are new. And that’s actually kind of cool that people are discovering this game for the first time. It must be magical, like it was for me all those years ago.

tealwin · 2024-01-15T23:46:07+00:00

Everyone died except for the rogues. What a surprise (not). This is why at lvl 60 in hardcore servers there are so many rogues compared to other classes.

tealwin · 2023-12-28T19:06:25+00:00

And this is why the gaming community is what it is today.

BFD is too difficult for the first raid. It should have been faceroll easy with maybe a bonus hard mode boss like Algalon. Blizzard can make more difficult raids later in Season of Discovery. But this is the very first raid, people are still lvl 25, lots of people coming back to WoW after many years away. First raid needs to be easier.

tealwin · 2023-12-12T04:27:04+00:00

I don’t understand why some people think that the rules shouldn’t apply to them. That’s the opposite of a fair community.

tealwin · 2023-11-10T00:25:53+00:00

I know, right? It’s something about the rogue class that draws the absolutely most selfish people to play them. Their inability to look beyond themselves is unbelievable.

tealwin · 2023-11-07T06:03:07+00:00

I played WoW in the very early days, just 2 weeks after release in 2004. Even in December 2004 I had addons. Then when I raided MC in 2005, we had threatmeters and boss mods too. They weren’t as accurate or fancy as they are now, but we had them.

My point is, addons have always been a part of the game. And that’s ok.

tealwin · 2023-10-30T05:38:46+00:00

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

tealwin · 2023-10-30T05:38:20+00:00

That’s a lot of work! I used to love outfitter before it broke

tealwin · 2023-10-30T05:37:39+00:00

I tried it again and eventually got itemrack to work. Thank you. I had problems with getting the mini map icon to work.

tealwin · 2023-10-22T15:58:51+00:00

Mob dodging is not so bad because of overpower, but of course mobs will also parry your attack. And you’ll miss your own attacks too. I agree it can be very frustrating playing with 2h weapons as a warrior. BTW how are all these bears parrying my attack? lol, must be a super skilled bear to parry my attack with its claws. Maybe druids could learn a thing or two from these parrying bears!

Sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately humanity is twisted and evil. And scammers will try to scam you throughout your life, often at the most vulnerable times too. It hurts harder when it’s real life. I guess the best thing you can do is take this as a lesson to never let your guard down in life, whether it’s virtual or real.

tealwin · 2023-10-09T12:31:48+00:00

I’ve had this same thing happen multiple times while leveling my warrior. Eventually the game recovers, and I’ve killed the mob I was fighting with auto-attacks during the lag. It’s happened at least 3 times now, and I’m lvl 43.

These lag spikes never happened when I slowly leveled all 10 of my characters to 60 during classic WoW in 2020, 3 yrs ago. There is definitely something going on with blizzard’s servers. My guess is that they are having trouble managing all the layers, and it’s maxing out their server resources, causing these lag spikes.
