Take Grim Batol out of rotation until dragons are fixed

It’s messing with queueing and no one can complete the dungeon unless they manually want to slog through all that trash. This is really frustrating as the drakes have been bugged since march and the dungeon is basically unable to be completed.

I agree with you that its a problem, though there does seem to be a couple of ways to get past it. I believe using the ‘leave and return to dungeon’ option works, for one.

But it does need to be either fixed or removed from the rotation.

Nope, we tried that. They’re still stuck in place, and sometimes you can’t even teleport out because it says you’re stuck in combat.

This feels like the quality of a janky private server.

Is there a quest connected to it? I havent done it recently, but I read dropping the quest can clear it.

There are the initial dungeon quests, but once you’ve done them, there’s no way to re-do them, so abandoning is impossible.

They don’t care. Dragons have been bugged for a very long time.

I can only suggest that people keep submitting bug reports on the bug forum and just drop the instance if you get it. I know its annoying with the debuff but it seems the only way around it.

If they’re not going to fix it, then take the dungeon out of timewalking rotation.

They won’t lol.

What makes you think Blizzard cares about this small issue? They are focused on what mount to release in LK and focusing on the drawing board to get more micro-transactions in the game.

Protip: run heroic Grim Batol solo, then queue for cata timewalk. This will somehow remove the dungeon from the timewalk “playlist”.

I just came here to say the exact same thing. I got into a run, drakes bugged. Left and waited 10m for the debuff to requeue. Requeue and went right back into Grim Batol with broken drakes.

It’s a cascading problem. If one person if left and the finder is still looking for people, it will throw 4 more unsuspecting victims into the mix. The group needs to disband totally so you’re not chaining queue refills.

I did my 5 yesterday afternoon and got Grim Batol out the gate. Tank told us not to even touch the drakes but I did anyway to show the healer the bug. Logged out and back in, my hunter was sitting at the entrance no problems.

Trash took an extra few minutes but we finished it just fine.
