I used the backdoor last week sometime. I was exploring a cave full of crabs and found a puddle that I swam down and got some ominous warning on my screen. Being me, I of course continued to swim down.
And long story short, appeared at the Eternal Palace. It was rather fun.
Have they broken it since then? I guess that’s possible. But I know the backdoor was active on live servers at least.
That was ages ago tho, we don’t live in vanilla and TBC wow anymore, we live in a new WoW where any character can enter any raid without attunement. They will be changing this(should have been acc-wide unlock).
It seems so
How strange
Nah. You couldn’t do most of the old-Old raid attunements alone. Naz just needs diligent daily questing (doesn’t take long to do per day).
If you’re in a guild that can’t get two people far enough along to go in there and summon the rest of you, waiting for LFR might be your best option.
The one sentence I’d describe BFA…
I encountered this problem last night. I hadn’t completed the Nazjatar questline so couldn’t get into the raid entrance.
Fortunately, we had a warlock on hand so I was still able to raid.
So true. Blizzard hit the mark with Legion… an excellent expac on so many levels. Then they decided to dive for the bottom with BFA. An expansion that got almost everything wrong.
Yeah, it was a while ago. You said, “NEVER,” which isn’t true.
You could not zone into Kara without doing the attunement until it was removed as a requirement in a later patch.
After that the attunement quest was just for the key to open the physical gate.
Just a quick FYI that we are looking into a change for this.
It’s called a “raid attunement”, sonny. Back in my day you had them for almost every raid.
You young whippersnappers have it easy.
They can still enter the actual raid, though - so no, it’s not attunement, really.
On one hand, i guess it is a bother if someone gets invited and they havent done it and have to get kicked because they didnt realize or something, but on the other hand I dont think it hurts players to have an extra step once in a blue moon.
RAID?
heck Heroic dungeons had restrictions on em before you even got to raids with em.
Isn’t some of the story gated through the follower system?
Pretty sure no one outside of Moonguard’s EP is actually Role Playing…
You would have really hated attunements back in Vanilla and BC then.
What’s that? You need more raiders for EP?
Recruit people and run them through hours of quests chains, then force your whole raid to go back and do Uldir, BoD, and Crucible. Now you can summon them into EP to finally work on progression.
What’s that? They gquit and joined another guild you say? Whelp… do it all over again.
It doesnt even hurt a player that much. You can still be summoned in, afaik.
So this only effected raids that had no summoning.
The update for this should be live btw.
