Marudon. Don't mention the word.
Friend:"Hey, Azu! Wanna try tanking?"
Me:"Uh. I suppose I could..."
Friend:"Great! Let's go to Marudon!"
Me: (To Guild.) "AHMYFELSHAITPLEASEHELPMEIDON'TKNOWHOWTOTANK. (Shait is one of our MTs.)
And through all of that...In Marudon. First time. No mangle. Aggro -flew- because the mage was all for AoE, so they died a lot. Never complained though. We were all lost as hell. I couldn't tank. I was looking for EVERY excuse to get out of that place as fast I could.
I think we killed the water elemental and got to some part with bog lords and lashery things before we all ended up saying, "NO."

Re: New vs. Old wailing Caverns
Otherwise the dungeon just feels kinda... blah. No interesting fight mechanics, lore splashes, eye candy or anything to really make it "pop" - just a long rambling dungeon crawl.
I mean you get to this goblin boss whose standing there by himself, nothing around him - doesn't even look like a boss. Etc.

Re: New vs. Old wailing Caverns
It's not the instance itself that hurts when you're streamlined into a fairly linear PuG, it's getting in and out and around if you're not. My friend and I went there to get her the elder a while back - two decently geared 85s - and we were lost for hours. It got to the point where we had shifted into character, running around in RP gear and fighting off respawns going "Are we going to die in here?".
We made it out of the instance and wound up scrabbling around the non-instanced Mauradon basically begging for help. We talked to a few people in general chat who were just as lost as we were. :P When we finally made it out we said 'NEVER AGAIN' and went to get the last few elders. It wasn't a painful experience since I had a good friend with me, but it was certainly trying.

Re: New vs. Old wailing Caverns
I had a very similar experience. Only I was level 70 (Burning Crusade being the latest expansion at the time) and I was helping two ~40 friends of mine though the instance. So add in many deaths to the experience of being compeltely lost and fed up with the place. After what seemed like an eternity, we just called it quits and vowed never to return to the place.Nubhorns wrote:I would be completely okay with nuking Mauradon from orbit and I highly suggest it to any lurking devs.

It's funny, although I loathe Maraudon with a burning passion, I generally enjoy the other, larger, mazelike dungeons. BRD is one of my favourites. I love the atmosphere that place has and I know how to get around in it fairly well, having gone exploring in there many times with my brother. WC I like a lot too, although I'm not sad to see the maze go, all things considered. It always did feel long and boring compared to the rest of the instance... Well, with the exception of Skum's little pen anyway. XD

Re: New vs. Old wailing Caverns
i just completed around 50 runs of WC (spread out over a week or so) to get my firebelcher before the patch, and i did not see this guy even once.Wain wrote:Which reminds me... has ANYONE run into Trigore the Lasher (rare red hydra) since Cataclysm? Despite many passes I've never seen him once. Certainly never on the ptr. He spawns (or used to spawn) in the pools right outside the instance.

Thanks.

Re: New vs. Old wailing Caverns
Really? If so you're the first person to report him live. Maybe he's just a slow spawner.... I've asked Noah to check anyway.

Did a venture into WC to tame a snake and popped over by the pools beforehand and saw him swimming around. I also saw Gesheran or whatever his name is swimming in the oasis outside the cave =3

Re: New vs. Old wailing Caverns
All good The "maze" section still exists on the PTR, it's just been simplified to a kind of spiral, with a jump back to the water at the top. The rare faerie dragon was lower down in that section, from memory.Harley wrote:Oops. Guess I missed it both times I've read this, lol.
