I didn’t play the anniversary event the last couple years, so the “Kill 3 World Bosses” quest was new to me.
I picked up The Originals. My character is level 45, so not quite max.
I apparently can’t use the pre-made group finder before max level, which means I can’t find a group to do this quest, so I can’t seem to find a way to actually do this event. The bosses aren’t queueable, I can’t use the group finder, and there’s no one at the boss. Do I just stand here and wait? I’ve been standing next to Kazzak for 45 minutes and no one’s even entered the zone
Sadly, pretty much, if you aren’t at 50. It also doesn’t help that warmode on/off affects phasing, so you can only see other people in the same warmode “phase” as you.
Thanks Achanar for asking this question. I just returned to the game after 18months and am still catching up on some of the changes. I was beyond surprised to see that I could not use the group finder anymore below max level.
Year before last I ran multiple characters for these bosses, the gear scaled and it was useful for many of my alts.
I’m a little put off by the group finder not being useable , that’s going to make it impossible to do this on as many people as I wanted. I just sat at Kazzak for 40 minutes, and I’m on my way to the nightmare dragon. We’ll see how long that takes. I’ve always enjoyed this quest but not being able to queue for the group finder will make it a lot less funl
The world bosses were meant for MAX level in vanilla/classic wow to begin with, not anything lower. I don’t know where you got the idea that your supposed to be able to do this before max level.
The loot that drops from the bosses scales to level, but most importantly you can pick up the quest to kill the world bosses well below max level. It’s literally a scaled holiday quest.
WORST IDEA! Ok maybe not the worst. The aoe cap is also pretty bad. But its a bad idea. Ion sneaking in his terrible ideas on a smaller scale while he is overwritten on larger topics like high elves.
Yeah I’ll admit I can’t see the upside of not letting people use the premade finder. Is it just to prevent power leveling? Either way its heartbreaking
Pretty much the hardest part is finding which Dragon of Nightmare is up . Other then that just go to the zones where the bosses are .
Kazzak is in the Blasted Lands , Azuregos is in Azshara. There will likely be people already there. If I remember correctly there is no faction lock on them so it was a free for all. So as people started attacking I joined in.
You’re probably in some sub-50 phase. With as easy as it is to hit 50, I’d encourage you to just grind out the last 5 levels. Then go and try finding these bosses.
I did that quest on a Level ~45 character, and I had to just wait around for a good while until enough Level 50s showed up at the world bosses and pulled them.
Not being to start a group in group finder on Level <50 characters has been a real pain. I don’t know what Blizzard was doing by taking away this game function that is incredibly useful while leveling, tackling holiday events, or completing group quests that you can no longer group for.
Imo i think that’s one of the dumbest decisions they’ve made with the prepatch. (along with many others ofc) But why on earth would they take the ability to use the custom group finder from everyone under max lvl (atm) when it’s kinda half built for low lvls to see if someone has a group questing, dungeons, BGs, and so on. The best thing to do is form your own group the old way but these days there’s no max lvl going to run with a low lvls group if they can just join a max lvl group. They need to drop it to lvl 10 the lvl you’re able to start doing group things…
