A little help in BRD...Follow

Finally at lvl 58 I can safely enter BRD. Most of you might say that i should be heading OL, forget about Azeroth, and stuff like that. Well, NO. I am, with the help of some close friends, trying to defeat all the instances in Azeroth. And now I've come to this: BRD.


The 1st thing that came to my mind was that I will very often find myself in PUGs. And scarred me a lot, but what can I do? Just hope I won't meet any NINJA, casters meleeing or guys who just go blindly ahead, without even reading the chat, where a priest had been yelling for 15 minutes: MANA BREAK!!!

Btw, I want to apologize right now if I can't remember names and locations precisely.

So..I am with this 57 Holy priest, friend of mine, both LFG BRD. This happens at 9.15 PM, sever time.we wait, some join, we find out they haven't been in BRD not even once(instant kick, no offence). Still waiting, and of course that strange feeling occurs. You know, the one when you wait too much and start thinking IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TONIGHT. But we decide to keep waiting.

AFter half an hour our savior comes :D. Exactly what I wanted, a FROST MAGE( Bye bye LYCEUM). This guy is a good friend of BGs with me, so I know the way he plays and also I know that he is good at CC. He is sure to bring a tank, prot warrior, also a cool gamer, good at tanking mainly. I find after 1 bloody hour a rogue, subtlety.

So the party is complete: 58 feral dr00d, 57 Holy priest, 59 Frost mage, 60 prot warrior and a 60 subtlety rogue

We finally enter BRD. Start planning, sharing quests, decide which way to go, who has the key, stuff like that. We clear the first room, nice and easy. Enter the arena, finish that one a bit hard, because of those F**** bats, with silence. But we complete that one too.

We keep clearing the instance, small bosses or not, all the way to the LYCEUM.


Here is where my problem is. We talk for about 15 minutes who where when how. So me and the rogue stealth and start looking for those flame keepers. We mark them, and pray the lord that the mage knows what to do. Amazingly, he leads us through mobs like a knife through butter. we head straight for the braziers, and there we stand and fight until a dwarf with the torch comes near. Kill him too, same with the other brazier, and we finish lyceum.

And all of a sudden we find ourselves standing there and watching at the doors who are NOT OPENED! Again we revalue what have we done, good or wrong alike. And no one knows what to do...

Does any of you have any idea what on earth has gone sooo wrong?!

Hey, it's my decision which people I accept into my party. It is my right. And I don't want to wipe 3 times before reaching Ribbly because the other guys don't know what to do and what not to. I just want to finish this instance. And this thread is about what happened inside the Lyceum.

Who looted the torches from the Flame Keepers, and did you actually remember to use them?

I believe the point is that no one could run any instance if no one wanted people in their group that hadn't run it.

If I run into people like you, I'll LIE about running it and show you my skill and tell you later how wrong you are.

Yea, it could just be a glitch. Like the one in Blood Furnace where all the orcs aggro through the gates... Hate that o.0

I must agree with Norellicus though. Kicking someone just because they havent run the instance before is (for lack of better terms) lame. Not flaming you its just... odd. I mean we I remember having a druid tank that never ran or even heard of Hellfire Citadel - Ramparts. We told him how to tank the flying dragon thingy and he pulled it off perfectly.

"You kicked people because they had never run the instance before? My god... that's pathetic. You should be ashamed."

Yeah, you should be ashamed because you actually wanted to run the instance without having to constantly teach others how. Seriously, whats with all the bogus morals in WoW these days...

Why couldn't you tank?

Mhm, sensible enough.
My apologies. =/

Sadly enough you could have saved yourself allot of grief by just asking the question without the lengthly discourse about waiting for people in your friends list to get online. again your actions put you into the 'I know more than you so I'll play my way types of people' who only ask when they hit a wall. perhaps you know better than the others and god knows there are allot of bad players out there. However noone will ever know how many good players you alienated though your actions.

ps. end of the day it's probabally a bug you encountered and yes you probabally did it correctly.

i know you asked a fair queston, but still kicking some one that never ran the place before is just stupid if every one had that mentality instence will never get done, plus how would you feel if it was your first run and someone did that to you? if i was was leader of the group and some one ask me to kick some one coz it was there 1st run the guy that asked will be out before he knows what hit him.
