Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
A small part of me is kind of going "Late April Fools?" since this seems like such a strange change to shut people up about queue times.
It's a little unfair if DPS never have a chance to be Called to Arms, that means all the pures will *never* see any of these goodies which will lead to bitching anew and this won't actually solve much. =/

Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
As a pure DPS, I find it sad that I very highly doubt that I or any other planning on choosing to DPS in the ques provided, will reap no benefit of this new "feature"
As a raider, I actually don't really do daily random heroic (in fact for close to a month since my last) as I essentially have all the points I need from raiding, so the inventive of shorter que times are of little use to me.
As a mount collector, whom avidly put a lot... and I mean A Lot of time into obtaining these mounts (I am lucky to have the three mentioned so far), that they are now being offered to only those whom are "Called To Arms" is a little disappointing for all those whom have put in the time and energy to specifically obtain these.
I may not be missing out on anything, but I still find it a tad sad that other tanks and healers in my place do get something desirable. Is it selfish, wanting to get the same options that others do?
On the other hand, I'm glad (well I hope it will work) that que times will go down for those whom don't have the time to wait for the current times offered and I'm glad that blizzard is looking at different ways to address this.
I just personally think that the rewards, no matter how "vanity item" they are, are still a bit too rare and rewarding considering that it is only offered a specific few.

As far as QQ goes, I think it's rather justified, although I'm obviously biased.

So you can keep farming it, it just will continue to be annoying instead of just being handed to you for being awesome.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
I found this an amusing summary of how a lot of us DPSers are acting:
"god damn it blizz make the queues shorter"
"we cant, not enough tanks are queueing"
"make them"
"we cant force them"
"i dont care i want shorter queues, fix it!"
"ok fine, you now get shinies when you queue as a tank, hopefully more tanks will queue, thus reduceing the time for DPS classes"
"fuck you blizzard i want shinies!"
"you wanted a shorter queue?"
"i also want more shinies now!"

Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
I think what Nacht means is that these mounts they listed are still available through their given instances, which are more than easily soloed at level 85.Xakaal wrote:i dunno if its just me but im confused as to how thats worded..Nachtwulf wrote:As far as I know it's not "only"... those mounts will still drop from their original sources, much like the blue drake continued to sometimes drop from Maly but also might happen in the Oculus goodie bag.

Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
There was a few somewhat intelligent suggestions as to how to "fix" this proposal, however, with the most viable being to make the rewards BoA -- that way, you can get them on a tank/heals alt, and mail them to your collector. Plus, rewards that you already have on one toon won't be wasted.
If they do that, I can see this actually being a good idea (it will give me incentive to play as my Paladin again, and maybe dual-specc my DK). Otherwise, this would suck. Hunters are actually in a somewhat better position, as we can solo most of the old dungeons these old mounts dropped in. Clothies, however, have it really rough. My bf might be able to solo Magister's Terrace on his Ice Mage, but a lot of clothies aren't so good outside groups.
If this does go live (and it probably won't considering the QQ-ing), I hope Blizz will do something, anything, to make it more fair first.
If they don't ... well, I can almost hear the champaige bottles opening at RIFT HQ.

This, is a great suggestion and comprises much better. The rewards are very nice, the problem in eyes, is the current suggestion possibly makes it way to limited to a selected few roles for how nice the rewards are.

Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
I think the BoA idea is great. What I think Blizzard is going for is providing more incentive for tanks and healers of all kinds to queue for the heroics--the benefit DPS get from this is lowered queue times, which is what they/we have been complaining about all along.Spiritbinder wrote:^Cerah wrote:the most viable being to make the rewards BoA -- that way, you can get them on a tank/heals alt, and mail them to your collector.

Re: Dungeon Finder: Call to Arms
Finally, because he said it much better than I can manage (and in a more civil tone):
All I can add is that I pay the same monthly subscription as someone whose main is a tank (or offspec tank, for that matter). Sure, we have accused Blizzard of giving one spec preference over another for years, but how fair it is to make such accusations is debatable; their goal is a more balanced game in PvE and PvP. But, overtly giving preferential treatment to certain classes...Spiritbinder wrote:I may not be missing out on anything, but I still find it a tad sad that other tanks and healers in my place do get something desirable. Is it selfish, wanting to get the same options that others do?
Cute doesn't need an explanation.
