You will definitely never have a problem finding a group either way you go!<br /><br />Well the thing about the Oculus was, so many people were leaving it. Every time I joined, someone left. Then someone else would leave. Now maybe people will take the time to learn it. <br /><br />It's obviously not going anywhere so it's better to have people actually learn it because you are going to end up getting it at some point doing randoms, no way around it except to leave. <br /><br />Are people going to be picking it instead of random? You can only get the rewards from a random, so all that this ups is the chance that people actually stay. <br /><br />It's really not a bad instance, I never have many problems with it. However the mechanics on the lass boss with the mounted combat can be very confusing to many people. And as I mentioned, no direction, but the mounts are able to give you some hints if you ask them. <br /><br />Maybe this will help more people to learn it, making it better all around. Because it looks that the Oculus is here to stay =pkaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787395619953110652.post-62461475323036365412010-01-07T06:45:21.042-06:002010-01-07T06:45:21.042-06:00This is a dungeon I actually liked, but as I was c...This is a dungeon I actually liked, but as I was chatting with my tanking buddy. I have mixed feelings about the changes. On the one hand, I guess it's great since more people will try the instance on the other hand I think it opens it up to people who have no clue what they are doing within this instance. They dumbed it down a few times already. <br /><br />I don't mind explaining the strats to people. It's something I automatically will do. I ask if people are familiar with the dragons. If they aren't, I'll go over their abilities. It just saves the aggravation. However, having people ignore them and try to brute force it simply isn't going to work. My buddy and I had this happen on the day the new changes hit, thankfully the member that simply didn't want to listen left the group. We picked up another DPS and knocked it out, no problems.<br /><br />I honestly didn't mind doing this dungeon. I've had this as a random (with Pouncie) a few times, before the change, and it was great. The people knew the strats and some even got the achievements. <br /><br />Even the times when people didn't know the strats we did well, since they listened. It's just the ones that have no clue and do whatever that makes this instance annoying.<br /><br />I already had the Oculus achievements that we got on a few of my 80's so it was nice to see others in the group get them too. :)<br />In other news Pouncie has started tanking, normal Northrend instances. She and her buddy 2-manned Azol Nerub yesterday. Pouncie's confident with her rotation, so she'll be tanking 'for real' soon. ;)Pouncealothttp://healsanddots.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
