Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives (http://www.wow.com/category/shifting-perspectives/) explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them. This week, we squint at a series of notes scattered around our computer.
So there's a weird new bug on the beta causing people to disconnect whenever they hit a 5-man. I first realized this was happening around the time I finished a laborious sketch of what to expect in Stonecore to a group that hadn't yet seen the dungeon. I assigned group marks, went over mob abilities and gave a detailed explanation of how to handle the first boss. Around the time I finished this triumph of 5-man leadership, I noticed that everyone in the group had gone eerily silent. Moments later, they were -- to a man -- revealed to be offline.
Readers, I cried.
Crazy. But the disconnect bug is pretty common right now. As a reflection of the disjointed and surreal experience that is dungeoneering on the beta, you will find a collection of notes below that I've scribbled over the last week. I'm still not having a great time healing, but tanking's gotten better, and there's a wonderful bug with Ravage (http://cata.wowhead.com/spell=6785) that I have thus far managed to avoid reporting in the forlorn hopes that it will stick around.Continue reading Shifting Perspectives: Notes from bizarro world (http://www.wow.com/2010/09/07/shifting-perspectives-notes-from-bizarro-world/)
