Molten Core Anniversary Dungeon

[Xota]

I think if they made it have no weekly lockout that would be best. But as others have said before no ones knows if it will or wont XD

A simple and elegant solution.

[sXe Angel]

If they made it like holiday dungeons, have a fresh lockout with a special loot bag each day, so people can run it multiple times a week instead of once a week that'd be awesome and a more than fair way for people to have plenty of shots at getting the special mount and pet. While I enjoy exploring all of the new content (quests & zones) on my main's, I do keep a couple alts I just use to power level & craft on. It won't hurt me any to power level those toons, quite a few of which are healers, and get right into the Anniversary event. And it'd be nice if they decided to leave the new MC in game as a raid, and just remove the pet & mount from the loot table once the Anniversary event is over.

Well, what would the point be to running the new Molten Core? It is a raid with absolutely *no* loot in, other than the mount and possibility of a pet drop. I suspect most people won't want to do a 40 man run without any loot whatsoever.

Besides, with the pet drops that are in old Molten Core, I'd rather they left it as it is, at least for now.

[Makoes]

I believe the mount is given out for completing the new raid. So so long as you do it fully once, you should get the mount.
The only "chance" drop is the pet isn't it? and that's what people would want to farm.

Not sure if there is lv 100 versions of the old MC drops, that might also be "desired" for some people.

[Kurasu]

It has no drops at all, IIRC, other than the pet and the enchantment aura mentioned. Unless they changed their mind on that.

[Xella]

I -believe- they said you'll also get a helm for your spec from doing it, let me see if I can find a source on that... yeah here we go:

Making it through the underground gauntlet and defeating Ragnaros will reward players with a Core Hound mount and a Warlords of Draenor Raid Finder–quality helm (100% guaranteed!).

Not quite a drop though, I don't see anything about there being or not being actual item drops tho. We'll just have to see I guess :?

[cowmuflage]

I would assume you'd get rep like you do from normal MC?

[pop]

Any news on the new Corehound model as a tamable pet?

They NEVER should have decided to make it a level 100 MC. The event is celebratiing the LAST ten years. Honestly, if it goes live at level 100, I won't renew my subscription.

Everything from the twitter feed to the beta says it will go live at level 100... soooo, I hope you find something else to play.

I personally have no issues with it. For me, 8 days is more than enough time to get to level 100 so I can run it until I am sick and tired of it (yay LFR...), which will likely be by the second time through. lol
I wish the hints Muffinus drops could be a little more precise on the possible drop rate though. Do I need to start buying cases of energy drinks and push multiple toons to level 100? :O

It took me 3 months to go from 85-90 the first time. I like to enjoy the questing experience, do everything I can.

It's not okay to punish me for trying to actually take in the content Blizzard made for us. I shouldn't miss out on something celebrating the last 10 years I played simply because I didn't rush for 2 months.

They have level and gear scaling technology. They employ it in Challenge Modes, Proving Grounds, and Battlegrounds. They could SIMPLY make it so that the MC LFR scales all level 90-99 people to an average ilvl for a level 100 character, and voila. But instead they choose to punish people.

I'm sorry, but you have more than enough time to enjoy this anniversary event AND level your character painstakingly slowly if you enjoy that for whatever reason. I never understand the needless whining that plagues this WoW community. They didn't have to do ANYTHING afterall-this is all a bonus; we are not entitled to anniversary content.

[zedxrgal]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn all holiday /anniversary dungeons were always max level entry only???? I know that none of my toons below max could ever get in. So why would you expect this to be any different? No offense but Stephen is right in that players aren't entitled to anything except base game play. Everything else is just a perk so to speak.

If you want scaling events like that go play Guild Wars II if you don't already. That games mechanics are set up as such

[Lisaara]

You are correct, zed. All anniversary/holiday events were always for max level so this shouldn't be that much of a shocker, especially not one to say you won't renew cause of it. Since the holiday is during warlords, it will be max for warlords. We already had our holiday for mists.

[Castile]

Actually thats technically incorrect as I did brewfest at 89 and sometimes they are accessible at 88 too. The point of ppl's gripe was that blizzard advertised this as the "go slow" expansion and then add max lvl content 2 weeks in - seems pretty hypocritical to me.

[Kurasu]

The difference here, though, is that the holiday dungeons aren't 'one time only, and once the month is over, it will *NEVER* happen again'. Instead, with them, you have the chance to wait for next year.

[Lisaara]

We have two months to do it. Til near the end of January. Even the slowest of levelers will have atleast one max level by then, whereas a holiday only lasts a couple weeks. So I think people are truly making a mountain out of a molehill with this. I don't really even feel immersed by content til it's been out for awhile cause there's less people doing it.

[Wain]

It is a long time, but I can understand that it will make some people feel rushed, no matter how long they're given. Especially if they're going to be away over the Christmas/New Year period.

[Lisaara]

I suppose so. Even if they gave us 6 months to do it, people would still feel rushed cause they got that mindset "Gotta do this asap!"

[cowmuflage]

There will always be someone who will feel rushed.

[Kurasu]

I'm praying that what they're doing here is, essentially, a 40 man scenario. That is to say, no particular need for a specific number of tanks, healers, whatever. Plus, a scenario that you can queue for multiple times, and get the chance of the enchant and pet with each time (after the first; I expect the Core Hound is going to be the reward in the same way a 'Scenario Box' is the reward). Also, the pet should be boxable and the enchant should be AH'able .

There's a lot of reasons this would be the best idea. Not the least of which it will keep people running even *after* they have their Core Hound, Enchant, and Pet. Because see, this is the *biggest* worry I have: we're going to have *less* than two months to get everything. Because not only will there be the leveling time... but the longe it goes on, the fewer people will be wanting to run it.

Imagine how long it takes you, by the end of a holiday, to queue for a holiday boss. Now imagine that holiday boss needing *40* people instead of *5*.

Except according to twitter, the MC will -NEVER- happen again.

Only the BG may return and they made sure to specify that's a may, not a will.

Yeah, I think that's what he was saying...
