IE. the new extra badges and chance at a blue drake. Seems to have convinced pugs on my group to stick it out,haven't had a quitter yet.

Also picked up the blue drake reins today at lunch :)
 
Nope, I still get the quitters and the bad luck with that place. Reached my cap the last time I was there. :(
 
My group kicked some bloke who said our dps was crap. And this was before the portal. lol. We got a replacement and it was uneventful. No drake droppped.

My biggest problem in LFG has been people who like to pass comments on other players lack of proper gems/gear etc. Its like their Christmas bonus is at stake if they wipe a little bit. sigh. Kiddies. Avoid LFG on Sat mornings.
 
I haven't had a group not finish it yet. Few deaths on dps'ers here and there, but we always finish the instance in pretty good time. Maybe it helps that I am the tank as well that I can explain the fights fairly well incase people dont dont what to do.
 
Drake dropped for me on my first pug to there after that patch :p

Not an impressive looking mount, but nice to have :> I like my Netherdrake more :D
 
Pugged it last week with two guildies and two randoms. The drake dropped for me (resulting in me getting the 50 mount achievement and my albino drake :D).
Took a while to get the pug together though since the first two tanks and one of the dps left.
But it went a lot faster overall than my previous tries and we managed to get the 20 minute achievement as well.
 
Place is easier now, done a pug or two in it but really, it's still a long, lengthy boring drag. 2 extra triumph badges and bag of gems, big whoop. As for reins, I've got 2 protos so, again, big whoop.
 
I've got a twilight drake,black drake and plagued/rusted protos,this makes a nice addition
 
lol im unucky with stuff like this... i have not seen battered hilt drop .. nor this drake nor the drake in up:P
 
Ran it a couple times over the weekend, 7 badges for 20min with a focused group is great :p

Only hit one snag so far - A mage in full T9 (i expected him to at least know the place) got lost after picking a drake and aggro'd half the instance, while half the group was trying to explain to him where we were
 
Always amazes me that after all this time the majority of people still love to add an extra C to The Oculus. :)
 
Force of habit after shortening it to "HC Occ" in old lfg days >.>
 
mm yeah wont see the drake ever drop, they don't call me the most unluckiest wow player ever for nothing :P

Click to expand...

What drake drops in UP? Only other drake that drops in a HC that I know of is the bronze drake in Culling of Stratholme. Which is easy to get these days.
Joined a group as healer after the first 3 healers dropped them and we still made timed run with 5 minutes to spare. The one dps was also new and wasn't overgeared for the instance.
 
Absolutely hated Oculus back in the day, but now I look forward to 8 badges in 15 mins.
 
Correct , you have about 1% chance to receive the drake in your gem bag.

*Note : in order to be able to loot the gem bag , oculus needs to be selected by the random dungeon finder.
 
Some people still don;t know you need to manually loot the bag. So everytime I loot mine people whisper me "WTF why didn't we get to roll on that?!?!" to which I say just loot it yourself :P
