Waitā€¦
Really?

In my first week, with like 560 item level, I figured Iā€™d give it a go on the last day before reset to see what it was like and plan for next weekā€¦ then one shot it with absolutely trivial difficulty.

Are YOU dying or is the guy youā€™re protecting dying?
Are you doing the onlyā€¦ 3 mechanics?

Iā€™m sincerely not trying to be rude, but I was blown away and surprised by how completely trivial it is, Iā€™m genuinely curious to know where you are struggling, that I may be able to offer some advice.

There are also recolor pieces of the Council of Dorn cosmetic bits; shoulders, tabard, cloak, and a bonus cog backpiece.

That said, itā€™s wild how protecting the dude actually gets easier after wave 10.

Sorry you want to act so toxic that you canā€™t fathom someone having fun with the event and just need to try to belittle them.

This isnā€™t braindead for every spec. Grow up.

TWW world events are not as fun as DF world events to me. Awakening the Machine is pretty boring to me even when I struggled with it. I would rather do the pipe mini game again.

I prefer it to the soup pot. Iā€™m not huge on it but I think the TWW events are on par with the DF ones.

Where did people get the idea that it was supposed to be hard though?

I loved doing the soup pot, but it is hard to point what I donā€™t like about TWW events. I dread doing the machine so either I do it right at reset or the day before reset.

Iā€™ve had it with the Machine. This guy canā€™t get it right week after week? in constant need of help? Last time I queued, I let him die over and over.

If you can do the content you want to do, youā€™re not behind.

Itā€™s amazing how good Adventure and Veteran gear are at fishing.

It gets interesting with some classes at low ilevels. But it is just world content. No one at Blizz ever claimed it was a challenge mode. lol

Iā€™ll admit it gets hairier doing it on my arms warrior than it is on my priest or paladin. Iā€™m creeping up on wave 10 and kind of cringing at the NPCā€™s health like ā€œWill I or wonā€™t I get some med bots in time?ā€

Itā€™s interesting when my interrupt and stun are on cooldown and I canā€™t immediately explode the casters as melee. Iā€™m trying to kill them, stand in a beam and bouncing back and forth. lol

Exactly this ā€¦ Itā€™s one of the easy, low level weeklies we have. What are people thinking that it should be harder or reward more, LOL.

I think most people are just frustrated that they canā€™t pop all of the waves at once and turn it into a 30 second bountiful key.

Which would cheapen so much about the event and keys that it would be a negative imo.

Iā€™ve died on waking the machine!

Mind you. I DCā€™d and the game took 2 whole minutes to get me back insideā€¦ but it is possible! :rofl:

Now I canā€™t dispel the image of your toon river dancing in a counter clockwise circle while juggling flaming bowling pins and making purple 'splosions.
