Don't say you will open the gate and then don't do it... Spamming General Chat and getting no help is annoying as hell.

Could you please activate the instance on Brill? I have been online since 18:30 and so far I have only gotten the normal "You must be at least level 80 and in a raid group to enter.".

please be considerate for the time that we are give you to help develope the game.
Surely it doesnt take much effort to say on the realm that testing on the server is very limited today due to some issues. many guilds have just wasted an hour of our free time ready to help and iron out bugs.
I suspect you wont get much feedback on this one.

You might want to allow teams to get online to start with, jesus.

Few points:

1) Europe has moved to wintertime, hence you are starting testing 1 hour early. Most guilds are eating/not ready at all.

2) 75% of people couldnt even log on tonight.

3) Those that got on waited for 30 minutes staring at a gate that didnt get opened.

If you want us to spend our time helping you test your product, please at least be on schedule, and if not, alert us that its changed, and make sure we are actually able to log on and test it.

AND when we overcome the above, please make it so people dont have to stare at a closed gate for ½ hour.

Most guilds logged off to play live now, and I can't blame them.

Here's the Lady Deathwhisper feedback thread.

This is currently in very limited testing due to issues with the authentication servers and an instance crash on a few of the PTR servers, and this is being checked out right now.

There will be another opportunity to test this encounter.

---

So to put it easy, there is no Lady Deathwhisper testing?

Q u o t e:
Since these are the Public Test Realms, things do break on occasion. Issues discovered now are issues that should be fixed for live realms. The authentication/login issues affect my ability to login as much as yours, so I right now I can't login to help with access/door issues.

That being said, technicians are currently investigating the issue with login now.

We're also definitely going to schedule another test for this encounter.

GM not being able to login had me rolling over the floor ;D

anyway, we expect bugs to appear in the content (the little cubes yesterday for example) but not in the login servers, so this is kind of confusing for us (me and my guildmates anyway)

edit: Don't get me wrong though, as much as I may complain I still enjoy being able to test new content, it's exciting when there aren't any strategies ^^

Could you please confirm that the instance server on Brill is crashing and you are unable to get it up and running please? or whatever is happening that makes you unable to activate it. I tried to log Remulos and I got inside the instance instantly.

Hehehe... We were actually joking about that. Hope you work it out for next boss-test!

Now that people have full raids ready no gates opening!

Maybe change the Tanks getting DC'ed, but otherwise rather fine...
Might be a bit hard tuned for 25man normalmode, although that might have been due to Lag.

Question, it is still closed on brill, will it be opened?
edit: seeing how its still closed I guess not, on a sidenote, any info on when halls of reflection will be up? want to finish my quest :)

So, we were actually apparently among the few lucky ones managing to have a more-or-less functioning raid and have a gate opened, I guess. Our attempts were influenced very badly by lag, but I'll drop anyway a couple of lines. Some feedback is better than no feedback I guess.

Experience level: Anub'arak heroic on farm status, gear mostly ilvl 258/245.
Instance tested: 25 man version, most of the pulls done with 21-22 players online in raid.

The encounter is not totally broken, but defenitely severely misbehaving. On our very first pull we had about 7-8 members of the raid being mindcontrolled within 3 seconds of the pull without the first wave of adds even spawning. On second pull we had no mindcontrolling being cast around at all. I am not even sure you guys intend to have the mindcontrol as a mechanic in phase one at all, but in case you do, please make it so that it can't affect the adds tanks. Having both tanks mindcontrolled at the same time and all the adds jumping on our healers provided a very funny moment on the PTR, but I am sure I wouldn't be so amused should it happen on live as well :)

The Mana barrier didn't feel as replenishing the health on a 1:1 health to mana ratio. I have no idea if that is intended to be the ratio or if (most likely) this was a lag related issue. When we decided to pretty much just offtank the melee adds and bruteforce our way through the barrier, it felt like it was going down a bit too easily, lag considered. The adds transformation mechanics and buffs are nice as a deterrent against that, but I am not sure they would be enough to prevent bruteforcing in useful time on a proper-latency server environment (this ofc depends also by what it is supposed to happen once the barrier is shattered, which we didn't get to see)

Lastly: the random add coming from the stairs area felt like a gratuitous annoyance, but I guess that is exactly its scope :)

All in all, the encounter looks interesting and from what we could see definitely shows potential (at least in its first phase), but it also feels buggy and untuned. Severe lag of course did not help much.

On Remulos the encounter wasnt testable because of 5-6 second lag on every ability. Felt more like a Server stress test than testing a new encounter.

we dident have any problems on Remulos, when it comes to lag

but to the boss, p1 was okey, but after 3 trys and you how found out what add does what its really trivial, i would pref upping the hp on the mobs abit because now even with ToC gear instead of ICC gear, we had alot of time just turning and nuking the boss, the curse function was a nice ide with the 15sec CD you got, p2 was way to easy, felt like KT without any abilitys just frostbolt, giving this boss another ability in p2 or even keep the adds spawning is something you can do, enrage timer was okey aswell, a bit high maybe, down it to 7min :)


oh ye one thing, does the elevator behind her have to go up and down while we fight her? ^^

You were testing the normal difficulty of the SECOND boss in ICC. How much ICC gear do you expect to have gathered by the time you get to her? Oo

Hi,

I'm sorry if my english is not very good. Here is my point of view :

Our raid was mostly geared in 245/258 and the encounter was pretty easy. When you know the abilities of the adds, it takes you 2-3 pulls to adjust the dps required to down them as well as keeping some dps on the boss to break his mana shield. Increase a little the health of the adds.

Maybe don't let the mind control ability choose the tanks. In normal mode it's not a problem but in heroic mode when you have 2 tank mind controlled the adds may one shot the dps !


I guess the p2 is not yet fully implemented because she only do a frostbolt which is kickable... and the ghosts which randomly spwans were kinda bugged !
