This cross-server grouping, multiple phase per server thing is really crazy

it's 1:15pm and every time one of the major rares spawn, a raid group is created in the finder and it's near instantly full. I just witnessed two groups pop up with 1-5 players and fill to 80/80 in under 10 seconds when Vengeance spawned on one server

servers are also lagging like crazy whenever 100 dudes pop on/off the server

The realm hopping is getting out of hand in tanaan and destroys both immersion and fun for me. 90% of people who join a group for the events through finder are realm hopping and stay for a minute or so iff you dont realize it and kick them. Its so fucking annoying. there should be a cooldown on that.

I'm not a fan of the 1 hour cooldown rares instantly having an army of players spawn next to them the moment they pop up and instantly dieing TBH, i've been literally next to them and failed to even tag them before. It doesn't feel like you can even camp a rare, my experience is sit there refreshing the group finder for 5-10 minutes hoping to get in a raid before it's instantly full

also, you CANNOT get quest credit for killing a rare while in a raid, so that step consistently takes the longest for me every day

Took them this long and they still haven't done the 3 hardest bosses. Just shows that Mythic is not easy by any means. Good luck to all of the guilds trying for world first clear.

It turns on automatically whenever it is required. It wont show up before that time.

You should be able to see it when your in the mode that lets you move around the display area's. Make sure its not off-screen of hidden behind some other UI elements.

Dont know if there is a way to hard force it to display. Check the manual ^^

/range does it in dbm so probably something similar.
/range 40 can be quite useful as a tank, knowing when your healers are out of range.

Run back and forth in the cave/tunnel that leads from the harbor towards the bleeding hollow area and just loot the chests that spawn there for the apexis fragments. Or summon the 3 saberspawn elites each day for a good chunk of them. You won't get other loot or rep from the kills more than once a week though.

Maybe a day or so. I've got them all finished except the last one because I dont have any ship to beat a battleship. You will still finish your shipyard portion before the tome quest gets finished.

apparently method is doing another maidens/BF by doing xhul'horac instead of velhari?

this tier's progression race seems pretty good

last phase of xul vs p2 of vel. which hell do you choose?

also guild decided to skip split runs this week and bang our heads repeatedly at mythic until it breaks. took 70+ pulls of hellfire assault to down it, what a waste of time.

70 pulls isn't that much for a max difficulty boss, especially on relatively short fight with no distance to run back

the only big deal i see there is not getting gear. With the way gear scaling in this game is, i don't personally understand the rush for progress unless you're a top top guild like method-tier - since we're going to be in HFC for around 7-15 months probably, i would like to take a month, maybe two in the "get as much gear as possible without abusing game mechanics" mode. Wiping on heroic bosses instead of rekilling Xhul and Mannoroth for tier or going for archimonde (raid clear and trinket drops) isn't really ideal for me.

A lot of the people pushing to play this way are the ones who burned out and quit 8-12 weeks into BRF, then magically re-subbed for 6.2 - that's not a fun way to play the game, IMO.
