4.3 Release date

I tried the LFR feature on the PTR and left after the second boss, you literally just zerg away at the boss disregarding all mechanics and loot your shinies at the end.

I personally got zero satisfaction from it although I will be using it purely to acquire my 2pc bonus asap.

Looks like the LFR feature won't get you into existing raids and also the raids you enter with LFR will be a dumbed down version as the loot will slightly inferior compared to raiding the same dungeon using the current raid "system".

Yes, but they have been saying that since the start. Also you can only receive loot from a boss once a week with the LFR
 
new patch is awesome, the three new dungeons are really good. They kind of like the later three icecrown dungeons where they follow each other. Much better than the existing dungeons.
 
Was there any additional downloads required other than the 760 meg patch from a week or two back ?
 
I must say, the new raid bosses in the LFR is really easy, the should have been 378 like the new instances.

Now, on normal 10 man its a different story, Morchok we got down one time but Yor'sahj gave us uphill. I also think it could be that our dps was low, only 3 people managing the high 19 to 20k mark.
 
Well I will say this, LFR is awesome, I get to see the raid bosses without having to be in a Raiding guild, and even better is I get to skip the guild emo and politics ect. Granted my previous guild had very little of that, the fact that I can log in, raid when I want to, then log off without having to worry about letting someone else down is pure awesomeness.

I understand this is breaking down ingame friends/community even more, but hey I am personally at a stage where I don't want to spend too much time anymore, even more important, I don't want to lock down time anymore for a game. So this kinda suits me perfect.
 
I like the fact that the wait time on the LFR is not long. But that could also be the fact that so many people are trying it out.

One bad thing in all 4 the PUG's I've done with hardly 2 mins go by without someone being called a retard or worse. You have to not be bothered by ego driven idiots otherwise it wont be fun. At least those idiots normally gets down to just calling each other names in the end though.
 
I must then be lucky to not have seen that much name calling, except when I won that 2H weapon, then all of a sudden people were upset. Its probably just easy enough for me to ignore raid chat.

Hey bugger them, if its not in your class / spec you don't get the need bonus so they can't complain
 
10 or 25?

I think 10 might be 384, 25 being 390 for LFR

Deathwing's drops (both Spine of Deathwing and Madness of Deathwing) are 6 item levels higher than the rest of the raid loot.

So:

  • LFR is ilvl 384, Deathwing drops ilvl 390
  • Normal is ilvl 397, Deathwing drops ilvl 403
  • Heroic is ilvl 410, Deathwing drops ilvl 416

Makes no difference whether it's 10 man or 25 man.
 
Very dissapointed at how easy new raid is. DW pugged in 1st day. ICC was best. Even at 85 in T12 Lich King normal is still a challenge.
