Please, for the love of all the gods, add the dungeon keys to a Reals Vendor in BB.
Literally no one is running Dire Maul East. And now I can’t get the stupid flag done for T0.5 unless I spend (probably) thousands of gold to level engineering to get Seaforium Charges, to blow the DM Library door open.
PS: I’m rolling as a tank. You’d think it’d be easy…not when the place isn’t being run anymore.
PSS: Yes, I tried to solo; nearly died from the second trash pack in the instance.
you know you could just wait for a hunter who sells dmt buffs to have an instance open and ask them to open the lib door for you.
probably only have to pay 10g.
just a thought.
Or make a friend. Or maybe several friends who can all do DM:E together. What a novel idea!
What OP doesn’t seem to get, which is something many players don’t seem to understand when grouped content is the topic. If there are enough people for it to be a problem, there are enough people to solve it yourself.
honestly if it were something like the scholo key which requires more effort and travel i could see maybe asking for it to be on the real vendor.
but the key is like a 10-15 min run away right next to the instance he wants to get into.
not to mention there are dmt sellers and once you have the key you can skip ALL the mobs and get in no problem. (getting out is a bit of a problem but you can just die and run back in)
I’ve seen two Tribute runs, both looking for a healer. Haven’t seen anyone selling them.
And that’s not really a solution, it’s a bandaid-fix. And seeing as you can just buy T0 from the Reals Vendor, I don’t see why adding dungeon keys is ‘going too far’.
Did you not read the part of “literally no one doing DME”.
So, no, the OP does get it. If a dungeon is no longer required content. Then those ‘coming in late’ will not be able to get groups for them.
I. CANNOT. SOLO. THIS. PLACE.
This means I cannot get to the DM Library to talk to Falrin. - Either I need the key, a rogue, or explosives; I have neither of these.
i dont know. if all else fails pay people to run it.
or get in a guild and maybe pay a bit less.
or make some friends that wouldnt mind running a 15 min max dungeon.
i mean there are ways to get stuff done .
edit to add:
btw you probably wont be able to solo the other steps on the .5 chain either after that so what then?
I’ve talked with a lot of people who are doing world instance runs right now for the T2 bracers, including all the wings of DM. Blizz also increased the last boss dropping more reals, so even the less boss count instances are still good when you’ve done strat/scholo for the day and generally you’re also in and out fast. DME loot table is pretty bad in general, but I’m shocked you’re having this hard of a time getting groups for it since most people are just in it for the reals. Maybe advertise that you want to do 2-3 wings for reals. Are you playing during off-hours for why it’s so hard that you can’t find dps/heals as a tank? Just pretty shocked it’s this hard.
But on the key topic, I wouldn’t be against being able to buy the keys with reals or maybe just make a vendor who makes “key copies” for a price if you already have them on a main and can send to your alts, kinda would be a fun idea. Set them up near the blacksmithing area in a major city. (basically like the Onyxia neck piece u can buy for alts)
People are actively running U/LBRS, BRD (including arena), Scholo, Strat (Live/UD).
…it’s a key, folks. A KEY.
And (to all not directly at you, Xtra) don’t even pull the “slippery slope” BS. You are all still playing despite: Rune skip for alts, T0 on vendor for currency you can farm out of just BRD, piss-easy Hydraxian and Thorium rep, “welfare Rares” (Emerald Wardens). That a ‘key’ is suddenly just “too far” is weird.
Don’t think that’ll work, either. No one’s running Dire Maul. There was two groups doing a Tribute run and it’s been over an hour with just my entry in LFG Bulletin Board.
Everyone’s running Scholo, Strat, or BRD for Reals because it’s faster. - Like there’s several unique groups running each and a handful of players looking to join any of them.
So I can’t really say if 4:30PM on a Thursday is ‘off hours’ or not. But it sure doesn’t look it.
what server do you play on.
i find it hard to believe nobody is selling dmt buffs that like ALL raiders want.
maybe its the time of day or something i dont know.
just seems really odd.
if youre on cs or something and nobody is selling them , thats surely an alliance problem.
there are like 3 on horde side selling it right now.
Either there are enough people without the ability to get the key for it to be a problem, and thus there are enough people to run the dungeon or there aren’t enough people that need the key and thus it’s not a problem as you can ask someone for help.
The point is, make a damn friend. Form a damn group. This is nobody’s problem but yours as we all have the key.
Wild Growth. I know there’ll be some sold but WG’s raiding guilds seem to raid Tuesday/[other day]. So DMTs will mostly be sold on Tuesday.
PS: There’s a singular DMT run being advertised right now.
There it is. “We got ours, so screw everyone else that comes in later. - Oh. But we still think you gotta earn it.”
I did, finally, manage to get a group to get the key…after several hours. And guess what. I still think, even after “earning it” it should be sold on the Real Vendor; something like 15 Reals.
((Just an FYI: 1 Real for SM Key, 15 for BRD key, 30 for Scholo and Strat key))
I play actively on WG and there is usually at least one person spamming LFG during the day for DMT buffs. At night though? Good luck lol. I don’t see an issue with adding the keys to the real vendors, although I also would never spend the money on them and would just get a group together with buddies to get the keys myself.
Stupid answer. Like yeah everyone wants to waste time getting to a dungeon at the far end of azeroth and then do it.
When all most players do is raidlog lmao.
They even took away the farming to prep for dungeons aspect since everything is abundance now
It’s a video game. It’s kind of the point. Yea, if you want an item in a game you earn the item in the game.
It’s obvious you can’t follow the logic here, which is sad, but let me try to help you understand. You seem to be coming at the video game from a position that you are entitled to something. You’re not. Not beyond the ability to login, that is. Everything beyond that point is up to you to do the work.
Then you don’t get the key. If I don’t want to do Stratholme, why should I be entitled to loot from Stratholme? Learn the genre.
It sucks that you’re stuck on this, but I do wonder why you don’t just go to a few pug MCs and collect T1 over T0.5 at this point. Heck, you could do MC, BWL, and x2 ZGs a week and probably be better geared faster than it would take you to complete the absolutely hellish T0.5 questchain in it’s entirety.
You’re on step 20 of 80 right now, and already getting frustrated enough to post about it on the forums. Maybe it’s time to reassess whether T0.5 is worth getting at this point in SoD’s life cycle.
I did my time in Classic 2019, it got to be pretty crazy ‘globe-trotting’ to get WBs then not being able to log onto your raid-character until raid night (pre-Chronoboons); experienced the Vanilla Raids when they were ‘current content’ instead of “we just killed LK and have an hour to kill; lets blitz MC for bindings”.
I doubt I’ll get back into raiding, which is fine.
Well, I’m now at the point of BRD Arena. No clue how far along that is since WoWHead doesn’t exactly layout multi-class quest chains really well and you often need to look at the comments to find ‘this leads to this other quest, which starts it’s own chain’.
And I still would have posted because DM Library access would still be an issue.
‘Speed Bumps’ aren’t bad in MMOs, but when they morph into Barriers then they need to go. DM Key was a ‘speed bump’ during the first month or so of P4, when people were running all wings of Dire Maul regularly. Now it’s become a barrier; as has the other Keys.
((Fun Fact: I would have posted about the Scholo key earlier had it not been for a lucky break that someone had killed Araj and his pot still there to be looted. - Again, no one does this quest chain these days.))
I just sit in SW once in a while, get the important world buffs, and then chronoboon them. Honestly, most pug MCs aren’t even gonna check you for them. They’re incredibly chill.
Here this wowhead guide lays it out rather neatly:
https://www.wowhead.com/classic/guide/dungeon-sets-1-2-quests-wow-classic
You’re making good progress, though Part 4 is where it gets rather infuriating. Specifically the Silithus part.
Still, even if you give up there, at least you’ll have 6 out of 8 T0.5 pieces.
I couldn’t imagine playing WoW without coming together with other people who are willing to help each other out for things like this. Is it that so few people play like this now that it is hard to find, or that people refuse to be social enough that they in turn put themselves in such a position that they demand alternate ways of getting things that require a group?
I think it’s more that most people are already past that content at this point in time. Plenty of folks still coming together to do current endgame content. But Dungeon Set is not exactly worth the time or effort invested in it at this point. The only time it was, was in the first two weeks back at the start of Phase 4 before MC came out when nobody had anything better to do.
EDIT: OP is essentially late to the party, and walking up and asking if people want to do Calculus. That’s about how fun getting T0.5 is lol. Like chewing glass levels of fun.
Hey, this is a nice idea. Make a Locksmith NPC that sells copies of keys for Reals or gold that you can mail to an alt. Good idea.
Also add LBRS gems to the real vendor.
