Yeah, I can see your point....@loveandwarinazeroth:<br /><br />Yeah, I can see your point. You could theoretically RP the instance as if you were all joining up together to fight, but the way that Blizz threw the RP servers into Battlegroups with non-RP servers kind of defeats the purpose of RP-ing in a LFD instance.<br /><br />A shame, really, because some of those bosses are just begging to be taunted.<br /><br />@Soul:<br />I enjoy the instances more when people are talking and enjoying themselves, throwing in a little RP wouldn't hurt so much either. It wasn't RP, but on Sunday night a Halls of Stone run consisted mainly of jokes about Lost. Because everyone was typing so much, the run took twice as long as normal, but it was hilarious. (Except for the part where I made a crack about Lost ending like the "Who Shot Bobby?" episode on Dallas, and somebody said "What's Dallas?" <i>Then</i>, I felt old.)Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-19434131653015398102010-05-24T18:34:20.849-04:002010-05-24T18:34:20.849-04:00I always enjoy dungeons more when people start tal...I always enjoy dungeons more when people start talking. I, for one, would be thoroughly amused if someone actually role played in the dungeon I was running. I'd be more likely than not to play along.<br /><br />"Why has though taken the Tyrannical Beheader... it doesn't look as if the weapon wouldst do though any good, nor your pet turtle.

After all, how do you RP using the LFD? There's a magic portal that randomly will send me to a dungeon to battle some baddies with random strangers? Too complicated. Me sitting there RPing about "Whoa. Where am I?" while the others are just trying to get the dungeon done is silly. If I want to RP in a dungeon, I find a group of friends to go with.<br /><br />Sometimes I do throw in a little silly character reaction during dungeons though, mostly to try to start a convo with the other players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-63375414398547598422010-05-24T12:28:46.454-04:002010-05-24T12:28:46.454-04:00That was what I thought the first time, but when I...That was what I thought the first time, but when I did it didn't fix things. What's strange is that is the only event timer that I don't see; all the others in the other instances are there.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-28162758909852733212010-05-24T12:22:20.214-04:002010-05-24T12:22:20.214-04:00Try updating your mod and see if that helps.Try updating your mod and see if that helps.Deftighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404189161333779934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-81391454411831417402010-05-24T11:27:26.455-04:002010-05-24T11:27:26.455-04:00There might have been something about that lightni...There might have been something about that lightning storm, because it was the Healer who got hit. The next time I go through HoS, I'm going to keep closer watch on the very end of that encounter and see what happens. (Usually I'm thwacking the last trash stragglers.)<br /><br />I know it wasn't the main beam, because I was the idiot running through that half the time trying to close on the Iron Dwarves blowing past the Tank. The Tank had... issues... holding aggro in that encounter the entire time, and not because of one of us. He just never seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and to a Warrior tank that can be problematic.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-70307177381834303512010-05-24T11:04:18.994-04:002010-05-24T11:04:18.994-04:00I'm not exactly sure what happened during your...I'm not exactly sure what happened during your HoS encounter, but this is what I have noticed from my runs through it (and I am a healer, so I have the luxury of sitting back, watching everything go down!). The whole time you are fighting adds, Bran is working on hacking the computer. When he finally succeeds, the computer welcomes Bran and procedes to turn the 3 tribunal faces against the remaining adds, causing a lightning like explosion. I have never noticed any party members being hit by this. I just know that while the encounter seems to end as soon as the computer starts to talk nice, people will continue to take damage from the adds and faces until the lightning storm kills them all. Hope this helps some!SayvilleLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926052899037298274noreply@blogger.com
