The Unreality of SA
so anyone done them yet? ran ZA with a full guild group last nite, only one wipe on the last boss (thanks wowhead) but many wipes on trash packs. 2 maelstroms for me, so Im happy :) wont pug either for a while though, not a chance
 
didn't finish we got stuck at lynx, more like 1 wipe then guildies had to go did not bother, failed mount run because of trash lol

as we all know everyone goes to za for mount run ofc.

try this weekend again for the mount.
 
Actually found most of the trash in ZA gave more problems than the actual bosses(they hit like trucks) and on top of that we all kept getting dced 4/5 bosses in so after the 3rd dc we gave up for the evening.

Haven't tried tonight yet but planning on trying ZG tomorrow.
 
I have done both so far, finish both 1st in guild groups on main. Finished ZA so far on alt and ZG all but 1 on alt.

Trash in ZA is only a problem if you let the gongbongers bong the gongs. If you have smart dps that can completely be prevented, having 2 less hard hitting mofos on your tank.

Update:

Right I was Royally pissed off with CTA in ZG, really pisses me off when it takes me 15min to teach a boss to morons just to have them ninja my tank loot. Left that group and put the ****er on ignore to be sure I don't group again with that toon.

Cooled down after 30 minutes of raging, then joined for another run, where we wiped on the 1st boss, but after that it was a damn decent run after everyone got over their egos, which got me a nice 2H weapon from Jindo. Funny thing is, I joined that ZG with CTA, but then 2x DPS stayed on for another run, where we got ZA, almost made the bear run, just 1 mistake with CC screwed us over, but again I got the CTA reward, was pretty cool cuz I got a tiny raptor pet.

I've done ZG. Awesome mechanics on the boss fights. Not very easy to do, but had a nice group :)
 
steam rolled both dungeons fairly easily. one wipe at final boss in ZG to get the achievement. but thats it , both fairly easy considering the loot you can get. but still no upgrades at all :(
 
I ran them a few times now. Amazes me how little people know of the boss encounters. Wiped more than I ever had due to nobody knowing what to do. Luckily the pugs started to learn the tacts.

Got Legacy of Arlokk staff, Touch of Discord wand and Wristwraps of Departed spirits on my mage already. Not bad loot so far.
 
Did them both on my main, just to do it, need nothing so I'll never be stepping back into them with my main again. Bosses ok, fun decently easy/hard. Trash and instance, sux. It's not fun, and I'm pretty much sure it is not fun for the casual ppl who will be doing it allot.

I think Blizz lost the plot somewhere, confusing annoying and fun with each other.
 
Was fun to see the old place again, felt just like old times.
Will probably be the same as the other HC's after doing a time or two.

Suspended my account and will be back for 4.2.
 
Heh. ZA/ZG is great for alts, love farming that place atm whilst not playing my main. Faster than alt raids, though a bit harder.
 
It sux donkey balls. Interesting the 1st time, annoying thereafter. Blizz fails, subs are getting lower and lower..
 
Been enjoying them a fair amount, been farming ZG for the the bow and polearm on my hunter, no luck yet.

Got a nice guild group together, rotating a few people here and there for ZA mount runs on my resto shaman. One tiny mistake costs you the mount though. Managed to get 3 already, I got mine on our second successful run. Strangely enough, our first ever attempt was flawless...

As a healer, the mount run is much tougher than 25man HC healing, a few times on trash I'm hitting 15k hps+ one particular run, just over 20k hps on a single trash pack.
 
I gem my gear
I enchant it to
Then I get kicked at last boss of ZG cos it's a pug and we wiped 10 times.
Apparently 4 people from the same guild where the all do sub 10k DPS whit a lock pushing out 6k beats the shadow priest doing 12k DPS cos he not in our guild.
 
did it easy this weekend, though last boss in zg achievement is hard cant get that done :P

failed on trash for mount run :(
 
Well IMHO dps on the last boss in ZG doesn't mean jack if you don't do the strats right. I would also consider kicking a 20k dps'er on that boss if he misses the body slam constantly, especially after explaining the tactic 10 times...

Then again I wasn't there so I don't know. Just saying why I would consider kicking a stupid high dps'er there. 20k dps means nothing if you keep on missing body slam on the chains, which is why people in the end wipe there.
 
If I join a run and the tank or healer goes... "sweet place ..oh btw I have not been here yet" I just leave not worth the time and effort at all!

Love doing the place again hate that people fail to understand boss mechanics and moving from stuff that clearly hurt
 
I don't mind revisiting ZA and ZG but...Blizzard definitely fooked up by brining back a pink (wtf?) bear mount. So much for exclusivity. Just like the Raven Lord, seen hundreds since 4.1. #uck Blizzard, seriously.
