Am i the only one that has not gone in there? I hear people spending hours on end inside, got better things to do.
Am I the only one that has not set foot there?
I would like to, like the idea of it…just not enough time in my day for it, I also think it will bit me later for not doing it when they split it and make it a + key.
But the question is who else has not done it?

I haven’t done it yet. But probably 'cause I don’t like pugging anymore. If it was a guild or group I liked who were around then I’d have done way more in this game as it is even this expansion.

I tried once, didn’t even reach first boss
I’ll wait for the heroic version

Tried a few times. Problem is the time it takes to get a group together. With only a few hours a days to spend in game. Makes it tough. BFA is not friendly for the super casual. Got worse with .2 as well.

I haven’t done it on any of my characters. Just don’t feel like it right now.
If your usual M+ group was already doing 10-15+ in the previous season, the run shouldn’t take more than an hour and a half. That’s about how long my group took in 410 gear on our first run ever at the start of 8.2, and only had like 1 wipe? I reckon it should be a lot faster now with a lot more people in 430 gear.
Honestly, Karazhan in Legion took waaaaaaay longer.

I am a very casual player. I wanted to see Mechagon so I did a grind on benthic, got lucky in lfr, and raised my ilvl to 408. Then I put together a random pug.
I haven’t done a mythic anything since launch either. We started the run at 7pm and the run finally ended at 2:30am
Only myself and one dps remained of the original pug when we downed King Mechagon.
I led the dungeon until we got into Mechagon and our third tank, a cool as hell dude named Killian with a giant ilvl was happy to lead hs through the rest. Up to that point I was watching boss tutorials on youtube and using the in-game voice chat to communicate with my pug.
Operation Mechagon is gorgeous and has fun mechanics. It is also WAY too hard. I will probably never run it again this entire expansion unless I crazy outgear it or it releases as heroic soon as Karazhan did (which it probably will).
It is total crap that this dungeon is not welcoming to all the wonderful other casual players I know. I feel it was a very poor design decision to continue with the philosophy that kept so many from also enjoying Karazhan at launch. I never got to do Karazhan in Legion for the same reason.

Our first time was like three hours because we were figuring everything out, wiping to trash and getting hit by literally every avoidable mechanic. Every time after that has been pretty easy, and we’re normally out of there in a little over an hour.

Have not been in there either. Not that I don’t want to for any reason. I don’t have the time required to dedicate getting through many dungeons right now.

I done it. To last boss. Everyone quit. No reason. No rime. Just all left. No one dead at all. We all doing around 24 k in dps. So not sure why left. it was weird. Now it did take about two hours. cause tank kept taking breaks.
I do it in 90mins now, it’s too easy.
P.S. Don’t bother with classic wow dungeons if you can’t even do a 90min mega dungeon on WoW. This is a short dungeon compared to everything in vanilla.
Well it sounds like I won’t be running it, I’d rather get a root canal without anesthesia and someone hitting my thumb with a hammer while singing the Shake it off Song at the top of their lungs, than run Gnomeregon ever again, and this sounds even worse.
Mechagon isn’t that bad once you know the mechanics.
Shrine is still worse imo.

It only takes as much time as the DPS is in there..meaning your ilvl 377, your gonna be in there for hours unless other 2 DPS and tank do 25k+ average while you do 12k. If you get your ilvl up to 415+ and get your enchants and stuff, you will take less then 90minutes. it’s mainly all the trash that stops it from being a gogogo.

I tried it twice today. Both started with the 2 gnomes boss. We just wiped over and over and disbanded.
I’m not sure about the other bosses, but the gnome boss is absurdly hard to pug for a mythic 0.

Give me a break. The gnomes boss alone is 100 times harder than any dungeon in classic.

This. I lived the dream. EVERY dungeon was a megadungeon.
Trixie and Naeno? LOL nothing hard about them, I’ll break down the mechanics:
Trixie: Interrupt as MUCH as possible. When she does “mega taze” the person being targeted hides in the smoke cloud at the last second.
Naeno: He gets on his wheel bike thing and charges twice through group. Be aware and move out of his path, nothing hard.
They both have to die at the same time almost or the other one powers up from the other’s death.

Yes we knew that. And we couldn’t interrupt trixie reliably enough to prevent stacks of her taze while dpsing the other guy.
Believe me I have played every classic dungeon countless times. They are a JOKE compared to this fight alone.
I mean both grps I was in were noob grps and they didn’t watch videos like I did, but I explained everything and it was just a gong show.

Haven’t done it and I won’t do it until LFG is available (or I just solo it next xpac).
