Death rage!

[ironwood]

So very sorry to hear this Ironbaerd!

Ebmora@24 - Another avoidable low level death ..
Killed by General Marstone (Silverpine Forest, quest "Sowing Discord"), a 410 hit (Stormstrike). Maybe one of the supporters died due to two adds around earlier in the fight. This was my last try before MoP.

Wow .. died at 83 just now doing a quest The Drakkensryd in Storm Peaks. I didn't even do anything wrong the drake I was on just turned around then disappeared for no reason and I fell to my death.

I've probably done that quest 10 times in the past without any problems.
RIP Ironbaerd - Greymane.

As someone that has died twice at 83 and 82 respectively I understand your pain.

That is a reported problem with that quest, apparently something to do with multiple players on the quest trying to land on the same drake, or at least that's what some commenters on Wowhead theorized. It wasn't as much of a concern when there wasn't as many people in the zone, but now with CRZ I would think that the likelyhood of that happening has probably increased.

I made it through twice with Telzey and Sharm (although I managed to get Sharm killed immediately after with a bug on the next quest, (that I could have avoided had I been thinking) but it always worried me.

Yeah, this cross realm zone is playing havoc with disappearing mounts and disconnections not to mention the lag and fps for some people (me included at times). I'm not playing my ironman until after MoP has been released and they get these bugs worked out..

My FPS/lag issues have improved over the last week but I still have some issues in CRZ zones, not in SW or Raids though. I read yesterday that changing the settings from Direct X 11 back to 9 is supposed to help with the FPS. I tried that last night but I haven't thoroughly tested it yet (it did seem to run through the loading screens alot faster though).

Fell at 71 in Skettis, while doing the quest where you drink a potion to see out of phases mobs. Those dailies are way too dangerous to do in the low 70....

I was so sorry hear of this, Xaya.

I think you're right, that's a really dangerous place for irons.

[gopher]

Sorry to hear about that Xaya. My commiserations.

Sorry to hear of all these deaths even though I'm bumping this too. I've left with the latest postings on the board as I did take a long break with other games and have only returned since MoP came out. WOW what a difference! My then-existing 32, got to 33 then died to tigers if I recalled... Sin'Dall and Bhag'thera seem to have both been boosted to 5K+HP - that or our damage is just reduced.

Now that it's a week or two later and I'm back from a fresh start to 26 thus far, I can simply see that Warriors are ever more restricted. From old 32 to new, we for example, lose Battle Shout, Rend, and Overpower. and rage gain seemed to be nearly non-existant. I'm holding out so far in Duskwood but there have been way too many close calls with silver rares, stealthed Worgen in the Rotting Orchard, and trying to run through Raven Hill.

Whereas originally you'd get to Raven Hill or even Stranglethorn entry before the mobs would match, and then exceed, your HP, now is not the case. The simple ghouls at Manor Mistmantle and most Worgen already exceed your HP even if they're 22-23 and you're 25-26. Some mobs are already at +30% HP, making it a significant effort to bring them down and where two mobs are either barely livable or undoable.

I know it seems that Lysanne (spelling), got to 79 on the charts but I'm almost afraid to say that if none of us could do this during an "easier" time in Cata, doing this in MoP will be incredibly challenging indeed!

So far a dozen times or more I have fallen but I have picked myself up to continue. I do hope the best for everyone out there and that they may continue with the spirit!

Oh and while this is quite a bit late past my highest death, I did capture just how nasty the Drakes are on the quest I died on (Blade Edge Mountains "What Came First, The Drake or The Egg?"). The Drakes hit SIGNIFICANTLY harder than anything else that's a regular mob so I'd highly advise skipping that quest for you higher levels. Not sure if I ever linked it but here you go:

GRRRR STUPID STUPID STUPID CRZ I was killed by a ganking PvP'er from another realm. I forgot that the Stink bombing marked you for PvP.
Poor Paladrina.

[gopher]

Oh No !!! So so sorry to hear that Dran. I hope you reroll soon. Hallows end will be over shortly thank goodness.

Major commiserations.

[Dranina]

Luckily I always play two or more Irontoons at a time. Only this was my highest, bad luck I decided to do Hallow's End dailies with her first.

[Xaya]

sorry to hear that :-(

I think I'll stop doing that daily from now on...

[Dranina]

Well, you'll have to anyway as Hallow's End ends at midnight.

[Xaya]

well it shows that I've never had a melee into Outlands. Waited till 63 before trying the first quests there and I get killed by the first mob

But monk is a good melee class. I think I'll stick with it
