What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
But why, oh why does Kara hate my hunter so? The past 3 weeks, my shaman has gone in there and gotten Big Bad Wolf for the opera event. For the past 3 weeks, he's dropped the rifle. My hunter? Twice Romeo and Juliet and once Wizard of Oz. I can't bring myself to vendor or de the rifles on my shaman. Why the heck can't my hunter get the darned thing?

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
How the hell does one solo the chess game?
Can it even be done with less than 10 people?
Is there some trick we don't know about?
Two friends and I have been trying to get through that raid and keep getting stuck at the chess event.

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
That bow took me 48 weeks to get before I finally saw it drop. So essentially, just a little over 11 Months for me :/Castile wrote:Bloody BWL!

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
I haven't tried soloing it after the nerf, but I managed to do it easily with one friend helping. I would always use the king, cast hero on cooldown, not stand in the fire etc, while he did the other pieces.Sukurachi wrote:I'm sorry that this is mildly off-topic (well, it IS off topic, but since you have experience with Kara)..

Position your pieces as needed, then pilot your king, attack the enemy king when he gets close, and heal-to-full when he gets low.

On chess I can solo this pretty easy now using the method others have posted. I dont even need to heal the king, just move the pieces in front out so you can move him if Medivh cheats and pummel the oppositions king with the Mage. Easy win! I did get alot of "Wtf you solo chess??" on real id from a few ppl haha!!

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
I have multiple toons capable of soloing up to the Chess event (which I absolutely HATE).
last week I ran kara 5 times.. and each time, the opera was Red Riding Hood.
yesterday, I ran it twice in a row, and both times it was Romulo and Julianne.
does the opera event have a sort of schedule? like some days it's one, others it's another? or was this simply a case of really weird RNG?

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
I do this with my three toons each week as well and it seems to be completely random.Sukurachi wrote:I have a kara question:

The opera event is random. I've gone in on my 3 90's one after the other and gotten Big Bad, Romulo, and Oz one week and ended up getting Oz/Oz/Romulo the next.Sukurachi wrote:I have a kara question:

My shaman, however, seems to get Big Bad Wolf more often than the others. My hunter is just a magnet for Romulo and Julianne. Gads, I hate that one. I just want my sniper rifle!

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
I was starting to wonder if I needed to schedule kara on my toons according to what they needed/wanted!

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
Hubby and I duo'd it considerably pre nerf...took around 3 tries, just plain bruteforced it til we won. Should be pretty easy now with the changes and tactics others have posted.Sukurachi wrote: Two friends and I have been trying to get through that raid and keep getting stuck at the chess event.

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
Move the pawn in front of Blackhand forward one (to leave room for Blackhand to move onto when Medivh cheats).
Move the pawns diagonally in front of the "bishop" forward one space, then move the bishop diagonally into that space.
Use DBM and look out for the cheat move by Medivh, and move Blackhand out of the fire ASAP, so get out of whatever piece you're in about 10 seconds beforehand and jump into the Warchief for the cheat timer countdown.
Jump in the Warlock and spam firebolts at Llane, and into the Necrolyte to heal Blackhand when needed.
Back into the Warlock/Necrolyte as required, but mostly spamming the fireball and dot combo on Llane to burn him down ASAP.
It might take a go or two, depending on the other side, but I've been doing it on two characters for a few weeks now.

Re: What happened to you Karazhan? You used to be cool
Run kara on your nonhunters,if it's big bad wolf,invite a friend and make him come to the raid and run inside,
take your char outside so he wont get saved, log your hunter, get your friend to invite your hunter,get inside
and your friend may leave so he wont get saved,then it's all up to the lootgod.
Good luck and may the loot be in your favour, /Lynv
