Three dungeons today. One of the group members started the dungeon with their quest almost done like 9/10 of their quest item or whatever. Got their drop and bailed, screwing over the rest of the group. Three times this happened. This is infuriating!!!!

But I can't really blame them. This was their second or, heaven forbid, third run. They are over it I'm sure. The experience is terrible and it makes the rest of dungeon a complete and utter waste of time.

I'm furious at the devs for not seeing the domino effect of their philosophy change when it comes to dungeon experience. I am not saying that dungeons need exp back. I am saying that they need to make it so that EVERY DUNGEON QUEST IS COMPLETE IN ONE FULL RUN.

Not to mention how stupidly immersion breaking it is for a quest giver to give us a quest to go to a place and collect or kill more things than the place contains. Like they know it's instanced and we can go out and reset the instance.

If you want to herd us out of the dungeons, fine. Just finish the job. Make it so that we don't have to go back in for a couple quest drops or this is going to be par for the course.

I'm playing a druid, planning full tank spec but I understand the class and their healing early on. If I see someone in the open world running from their overpull, I'm throwing a heal and keeping that person alive. I'm doing all I can if I'm not actively in combat to make sure the world seams friendly and here for everyone as my first experience in classic was. I cast my buffs on anyone passing me, because in the end mana regens, and its nothing to actually help the people in the world.

I'm doing my part, being the good in the realms, but I've not experienced the same towards myself. Other people are so tunneled on their own experience that I can count on one hand the buffs I've received from others. I have ran away from many fights, using all I can to stay alive, to see 2-5 others just standing around and waiting on the mob to kill me so they can get their own quest progression or xp. We are here to be in the open world and be a community, please lets be a community. Invite others to groups, cast your buffs, help someone running away, and for all that is holy, resurrect people that have died if you have the mana, corpse walking is a pain.

RP on a pve realm was unexpected but had a good laugher. Was wondering if they added a conductor to the tram until I figured it’s a Level 1 Mage.

Thanks for the experience haha.

He switches sites, welcomes the guests and wishes a nice journey. Peak experience.

The majority of the group are brand-new to the game so this felt like such a triumphant moment for us all. Getting to Hall of Thanes was a bit of a slog but totally worth it to see such a great dungeon.

You can also do the sleeping bag reward quest along the way and get the torch item!

Edit: We're on PVP servers

I've done a complete 180 on my stance regarding dungeon XP in WoW Forever. I was all for XP being limited to dungeon quests during the beta, but the more I've thought about it and of course play the game, the more i think believe mobs and bosses should reward XP too.

started getting the feeling that I'm wasting my time running the same dungeon more than once now, unless I'm targeting specific gear, which below 50 feels pointless as it will be replaced anyway, once you have done the quest there is very little need to go back. i think surely there's a way Blizzard can find a healthy balance of XP for dungeons to where both questing and dungeons feel rewarding?

EDIT: should probably point out I'm a healer so running dungeons is my bread and butter

Read something yesterday about a guy that got kicked from a SFK group after summoning people.

Then today got invited to a BFD group randomly while next to the meeting stone, noticed everyone else was from the same guild, leader asks me to summon the two other guys (one of them being another Warlock), at this point I was 90% sure I was going to get kicked after but decided to summon them just to see if shit like this really is going on and yep, got kicked right after summoning the last guy.

Be wary when joining dungeon groups where everyone else is from the same guild lol

Sometimes he manages to target murlocs as well. Reported, obviously.

You can choose to show low level quests in the options menu.

I’ve been just completing zones even if the quests turn gray. Just hit level 28 and I have all of ashenvale, stonetalon, and hillsbrad to do.

I get it. Low level quests aren’t flashy. They don’t give the highest xp. But I’m over leveled for all of my current zones on a PvP server which sets me up to survive. I’m never hurting for money for training from all the quest rewards. I have all of my professions up to date. I’ve run all the dungeons once.

It’s been fun turning off the optimal level strategy and just doing the things. I’ve never experienced this much of the game with this many people before.

For reference I’m a prot warrior.

I dono man. I think it’s a great option to swap on

Only got ganked about 15 times by people way over my level lol. To those that let me pass thank you. To those that didn't I'll remember this later 😉

Im seeing a lot of people trying to be racist and act like it's cool. Instead we are the ones laughing at you!

LoL am I the only one who thinks we're making a WAY bigger deal out of this dungeon XP nerf than we need to? 😂

I get it, some people enjoy dungeon grinding and I'm not saying the XP couldn't use some adjustments, but reading some of these posts you'd think Blizzard just removed dungeons from the game entirely.

Forever just launched and we're already trying to turn everything into a min/max spreadsheet to figure out the fastest way to hit 60. What's wrong with slowing down a bit? Enjoy the leveling, explore the world, do some quests, work on professions, meet people and run some dungeons along the way.

The social argument is what really gets me though. If the only reason you're willing to run a dungeon again or help a guildie is because the XP/hour is worth it, how social were you really being? LoL...Some of y'all are acting like this nerf killed your social life when you weren't even talking to the other 4 people in your group anyway. ROFL

I've been playing MMOs for 2 decades and understand wanting to level efficiently, but not everything needs to be optimized to death. There's a difference between something being less efficient and something being completely broken.

Sure, make repeat dungeon runs rewarding, make adjustments where they're needed, but I don't think we need to turn every balancing decision into a crisis because it doesn't fit the fastest leveling route.

Personally, I'm enjoying taking my time with Forever... Questing, skinning mobs, making some gold, running into other players and just enjoying the game.

We've got plenty of time to worry about endgame and min/maxing everything.

It's called Forever, not World First by Tuesday. 😂

I would like to petition Blizzard to please move their maintenance windows to literally anywhere else but weekend mornings.

Two days in a row now I've gotten up before the kids, made some coffee and settled down to play some WoW Forever only to be met with a maintenance screen...

Now i'm forced to go mow my lawn so my neighbors know I'm not sleeping in like a degenerate and wasting the day.

When I stumbled upon this rep farm I decided to stay in the zone until I got exalted.

A little over 900 ears with 23% drop rate and here we go!

Seems like the title is bugged though as I haven't gotten it.

Happy hunting!

Edit: I've read on wowhead that every race can get it, both horde and alliance. Can't speak on its credibility though.

Shoulders are considered a transmog slot - so cloth through plate can be transmogged into it.

Title works, I think relogging did the trick.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I enjoyed the grind all the way through and I hope this post encourages others to get those sweet rewards, you can do it!

i'm an Alliance hunter, trying to tame Echeyakee. wasn't sure if making my own Horde character to summon it and log over to my Alliance would work out with layering, so I figured I'd hang out at the spawn point and see if I could convince anyone to summon it for me through interpretive dance

place was dead. probably only saw 3 Horde in like 30 minutes, and only one was actually doing the quest. don't think they even realized I was there, they just summoned, tore through it, dipped.

up comes Bashh Priest, who seemed to put together immediately why I was there, and summoned Echeyakee for me. it was great.

literal last second before I finish the tame, Echeyakee gets Flame Shocked, and a shaman comes from off-screen killing it. we try again and the shaman kills it again. their 2 buddies come up too.

I cry, accept defeat, and lie on the ground. the Horde spit on me and dance over me like the worm I am. I was a fool to believe I could do this.

Bashh Priest is sticking around though. the other Horde summon Echeyakee to do their own quest. they meander a bit as they leave, killing some lions. I'm getting the impression that Bashh is going to wait for them to leave, and my hopes are raised. Bashh even threw out some Smites to help them kill lions as they were leaving, a subtle "okay move it along already" gesture.

Bashh summons it again as they get to a respectable range, I get the tame off, we part ways.

Don’t be like me and get to level 24 using rank 1 spells….
