Beta Instance Attempt
by Laneer on Jul.25, 2008, under Beta, Questing, WoW
I got in beta today with the explecit goal of doing an instance. I sort of succeeded
I have been seeing this since the day I logged into beta but hadn’t shared it. There is a graphic glitch that occurs when your mounted to anything. You randomly tilt back like this and look goofy
On my long run to Azjol-Nerub I saw these polar bears. The mobs are even more animated and seem to do more than randomly path now. It is neat to see the one with a baby
I made it! Everyone had to run we couldn’t use the stone. I thought initially it was broken then I find out this is a 72-74 zone. The first boss is a wave sort of attack. All the mobs in this instance are really creepy.
This was standing over by the second boss which we never killed. I don’t think it was level or equipment, all the players were in like sunwell level gear. The tank was just not listening. We were trying to figure out how you deal with them. Basically you kill mobs while your standing on this web and a big giant spider comes closer and closer. The boss attacks some of the mobs and I think you wait till he gets to the middle but the tank kept running to him agroing tons of mobs. I kept everyone alive surprisingly long time.
This instance looks like it is going to be a blast though
I decided I wanted to try the Howling Fjord questing area instead of Borean Tundra which I had been in. I like Howling Fjord better so far. For one it is the dwarf settlement
Two the music is awesome! It is sort of scottish sounding
