Well yesterday I ran about 7 instances... every single one of them wouldnt launch the first time we ran in. You basically get that "no more instances can be launched" error message and get chucked out. After around 5-8 min you can get in, but it takes a lot of attempts.

Anyone else on any of the other servers experiencing that?
 
they are busy revamping the instance servers, blizzard have mentioned this in numerous blue posts, and they are currently working on it.
 
It was actually also on a motd once:), and on mmo-champion:)

Im kinda immune to advertising and notices... which as I can see now.. has its down side.

Only messages I ever read is that one that says "free moves from X to Y", and "severs are ganna be down at this time". I dont recall anything there that mentioned instance servers but I could have very easily missed it. I dont know what mmo-champion is :p
 
Wow sema.. check some of the cool new options we will possibly have!!
This will really really help a lot:

Cross Server LFG

* This will let you PUG 5-man instances and search for groups through multiple servers.
* It will come with its own reward systems. If you're the leader of a PUG and complete the dungeon succesfully you will be rewarded.
* It should be out for patch 3.3.0.
 
Yep new expansion seems pretty cool, alot of nice new features. I am not one of those people who suffer from nostalgia but dead mines heroic is gonna be so awesome lol
 
cross server LFG dear god now instead of 1 servers kuk pugs were gonna get a couple... Imo guild runs still the best to go on
 
I'll be 100% honest.

Since I'm a dead weight tank in our guild I had to PUG to get all my gear going. That being said, I have had more fun and success in PUG's than with my own guild. Don't ever try and ask them to help you with an HC, they are too good for that now.

Yesterday in a PUG with me as MT we ran through Naxx 3/4 wings with no problem. Our OT dc'd and 2 DPS left the PUG. We where unable to fill those spots so we called it off.

That was an Epic Naxx PUG, too bad it crashed out.

I have made a vow not to tank for any of the Guildies or even Tank on any raid. If they run short on Tanks it's their problem. I PUG and I love it :p
 
That cross server LFG does look very interesting, and the expansion has a lot of exciting elements to it - Deadmines HC is going to be sooooo grand, and exploring the "new" old world is something I'm really looking forward to.

Hell, I'm finding it hard to resist the temptation to renew my subs *now* already, and we don't have any news on when the xpac is due yet.
 
tank getin 2shoted. Tanks lettin there healer die. Tankin and bein top dps by 50%. Tanking whit a guild healer and the pug dps cant kill the boss b4 the full T7.5 and 18k mana runs out of mana
 
Hate pugs generally but may be of some benefit to do heroic dailies.

I wonder what heroic DM will be like? VC has alwyas jsut been a tank and spank :p I wonder what the heroic VC will do and an epic Cruel Barb will be a laugh.
 
We also couldn't get into any instance for a long time last night...hope they get to fix it quickly...
 
On top of that, a selection of realms will be getting extended maintenance to hopefully fix that annoying instance-launching problem.

Aerie Peak, Anachronos, Boulderfist, Chamber of Aspects, Eonar, Frostmane, Grim Batol, Jaedenar, Kazzak, Kilrogg, Outland, Ravenholdt, Saurfang, Tarren Mill, Vek'nilash and Wildhammer will all be offline from 1:00am to 3:00pm (CEST) on Wednesday, and also from 3:00am to 7:00am on Thursday 27th August. The sheer length of this maintenance means that hopefully Blizzard might be close to cracking it, so hang on in there, okay?

Hope your realm is one of those above. (mine is ;p)
