Note To Devs: Fix your game (Dire Maul is BROKEN)

I decided to use the last few days of sub time I have to get a few guild achieves… but guess what? ALL old world dungeons are experiencing various levels of broken-ness. Any mob on a raised platform acts as if it is glued in place and you can only attack them if you get right up in their face (evasion glitch for being out of range)

All dungeons are able to be completed despite how broken they are EXCEPT for dire maul east where every single mob is glitched

Pulsin cannot move so you cant do that boss

Ironbark the redeemed is stuck and can’t open the door to the final boss

OH and dire maul west’s crystal shard guardians are broken so bad that they FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR and you can’t get at immol’thar

What happened to you blizzard? you can’t even keep 16 year old content working…

It’s as though we’re playing on a buggy private server.

Timewalk raids? Do you mean the random dungeons, or legacy raids?

BT, Firelands and Ulduar…
was there another…? Meh doesn’t matter. anyway point is they don’t seem to have been upkept since they were initially shoved in.
now forgotten.

Why would you bother about guild achievements if you are leaving?

Just doing a world tour of wow’s glory days, getting some achievements my guild never had to unlock the guild vendor nonsense in case next expansion is any good…

I hope the game gets better, just the way every single activity is engineered to waste as much time as possible now EVEN WORLD QUESTS

I dunno, kinda like watching home movies of before your parent turned abusive, good memories even if things are awful now. (also wow helps keep my mind off all the death around me, I don’t really know what to do with myself right now so its better to be busy than to be sad…)

Dire Maul was a great dungeon in it’s day.
Tribute runs were a cool feature.

Today I queued up with my lvl 60 toon to spam some old dungeons for fun.

Maraudon is complete broken. Trash mobs just stands still and we literally just walk past half of the dungeon. When you hit them the screen says evade.

Fix this game!!!

I reported Dire Maul being unplayable six days ago when it started in the Bug Report forum.

Should it really take this long to fix this? Utterly ridiculous.

I love to level on my three accounts, now I have to purposely skip Classic dungeons in fear I will get one of several unplayable dungeons.

FIX this.

Yeah. Bugs aren’t a snap your fingers and it’s fixed sort of thing. Not even with the best of code for a base.

WoW does not have the best of code. It has a mess of spaghetti masquerading as game code. So yeah, fixes take more than six days. Especially if the report was “Game broken, you fix.”

yep, they should just wave that magic wand and do a quick fix.

I don’t know how fix the broken items as fast as they break them. I mean the small Indie Meme is long over this is sheer lazy and pure incomptence on the company.
Usually I would side with you but not this time there just too much that is damaged in the game and none of it is important they just want to funnel people to the new content and say screw the rest. Which is basically giving people the middle finger and a hearty FU we have your money as well.

Ya gotta love armchair devs that have NO IDEA what programming is like.

At this point I am CONVINCED you are an Ion alt.

But why is the pathing for almost ALL old world dungeon mobs broken now? Why would they be doing anything withy the coding related to monsters in this ancient content?

This is equivalent to me repairing a hole in my wall and my neighbor 5 doors down’s toilet explodes as a result…

This is just straight incompetence… like “I left the excel sheet open and accidentally clicked onto it and hit delete… hopefully what I deleted wasn’t important” levels of what the heck…

Maybe these dungeons are going to fix themselves, eventually, like Ion claims Legion Legacy content will. :grin:

Exactly like the people who write 500 pages books?
Yeah, they could have reduced that story to 2 or 3 pages for fast reading: no time to waste… All evil people!

Unfortunately, old content is about the last thing on the list of their priorities.

It’s not old content for new people that Blizzard is trying to sell hard to with the discounts to Shadowlands. Dungeon leveling is something probably 90%+ of the playerbase does on a regular basis, as alts is always a big thing. If you get dungeons that are 100% unable to be completed and have to settle for a 30 minute dungeon debuff, then it should be their top priority.
