Time Walking: too much of a good thing?

The first few weeks were great.
Nice groups, no antagonists, quickly but efficiently run.
This last week has been toxic.
Rude players, people queueing as healer just for the fast groups then not healing - or the bare basic “toss a healing circle” now and then, if that!
Kicking players for no real reason other than saying “hey tank want to slow down, you’re 3 rooms ahead because you have a speedy buff and no one else does” ;
tanks (see above) then cursing out the group as “bad” because they (tank) pulled too many, too far ahead, and died. Also sometimes not even in a tank spec or gear.
It’s just made it unenjoyable.

As long as the trivial content dies and we don’t I really don’t care what spec someone is.

There’s zero reason to slow down in this joke content.

IF you don’t die- in this case (this week) tanks have been speeding ahead, die, then rant at the group. Botanica has been especially hard on these kinds of tanks :wink:

It’s kind of more like “too much of a mid thing” because it’s not actually that good. Better without jerks, but anything is.

I purposely have my friend queue as heals and then dps instead while I tank because if someone needs healing, they did something wrong :slight_smile:

I dont mind the rush in timewalking dungeons too much. People are often trying to level characters, so I just assume they will be rushing through.
Theyve been a bit much here and there, but so far I havent seen any kicks. Actually some of the ones who have been overgeared have pretty much made it a free ride. They kill everything before I can get to the fight, so I just get to get the free stuff and experience for very little work.

Yeah. What makes it look good is that it’s being compared with the “intended” way to level through Dragonflight IE very boring questing zones with none of the replay value of, say, Redridge Mountains or Silverpine Forest. TW isn’t great in and of itself.

I did my 5 on my main and then leveled another guy to 70 this last week. I didn’t notice any more toxicity than previous weeks. Even had a few where the tank wiped the group multiple times by over pulling and dying or losing control of the mobs and surprisingly no one left or was rude.

Of course there is still toxicity, but I didn’t personally see more than normal for this week.

I didn’t have that. But all grouping in any content has that chance. You get good and bad.

I Q as tank or healer. No doubt you experienced that but I dont think there was anyone who was rude in all my recent TW.

One healer auto running into a wall during WoD TW that got us killed so was kicked. I think they might have been a bot idk.

Some of the Hellfire dungeons hit harder than I expected to be fair so ppl not healing would probably kill a few ppl.

I can’t even keep up with some of those tanks… and they end up dead sometimes. It’s not my fault I have short little legs and they drank 42 redbulls before the run.

Completely unrelated.

My favorite magic card? Time Walk.
The deck type I absolutely hate playing against? Time Walk infinite recursion.
The deck I’m playing right now in another window? Time Walk infinite recursion.
(I’m a huge M:tG hypocrite.)
Is it banned from play? Yes. Can you play it anyway? Yes.
Does this make any sense? No. Is that hilarious in its own way? You decide.

If no one’s dying they don’t really have to heal, but you could remove them if you want them to. We had a Healer who wanted a boss drop but never got on the boss’s threat table so we couldn’t trade to them.

Lots of complaining about the healing in particular this week… I usually heal in TW and I’ll tell you this week it feels like more damage is coming in. My healer dps took a dip this week because I had to focus more on healing.

Timewalking toxic?

I barely even see people talk during TW runs, they just happen so fast and everything dies so quickly.

This, I have not had one group yet out of 12 characters I’ve leveled bother to type hi, bye, hello, or any word. It’s been full steam ahead run, run, run, leave and queue again.

I do not even think people notice if someone dies.

Just keep running!

I always say hi and thank you.

But I have to admit, I do love TBC timewalking just for watching people who have never done a TBC instance before get pummeled and stunned when they pull the whole room.

I got booted from a TW like a week and a half ago and the attempt on my life left me scarred and deformed, lol.

Fr tho Andies are so toxic it blows my mind.

Not too much at all. Its optional. Just dont do it if youre not in the mood.
Id like to see TW dungeons every week. Alternate them every weekly reset.

is that the ones in outland with all the mobs that fear?
Those are hysterical when they pull them all at once.
