Why can't Blizzard ever make things clear...

Money... If they made things perfectly clear there'd be no "what if" factor. That what if factor keeps mofos like us beating our heads against the same thing repeatedly for hours/days/weeks/months/years in the hope that we'll get that new shiny thing. While we're spending all that TIME trying for this or that, many of us are also spending MONEY. I loathe Companies that do shady shit like that but it is what it is.
 
The ultimate trolls at blizzard changed the boss to endlessly re cast army of the dead until every player in the cave figures out that interrupting bugs the boss. (Which is hilarious to watch)

Another thing i noticed is lots of 110 players bitching about loot / only getting gray items.
 
After testing this on 20+ different level 20s/29s, over the past 2 days (with only once per character per day), I'm somewhat convinced that the Epic Loot off this boss is not meant to drop for lower level characters. And with various reports from different sources, probably only for characters level 60 and above..

I mean.. my luck can't be thaaat bad right? Nvm.. it probably can.

I'm still confused with the way this all works. First time I tried the boss on my Warrior, the boss stayed on 6 health for like 10 mins then seemed to run out of cave and despawn.
I tried it again today (2 days since first try) on my Warrior and he showed up as an elite. I didn't pay attention the first time as to what it was showing but I'm guessing that means even though he bugged out the first time, I've lost my chance at a purple, if in fact 20's can get a purple?
Also, strange thing is he seemed to stay on 6 health for ages again the 2nd time round, but there must have been some good healers and eventually I stopped targeting the boss and started going for the ghouls. After smashing a cr@p ton of ghouls, all of a sudden I get the achieve for participating and get to loot boss body. But only greys and white vendor trash. So, is he bugging out or does he just stay on low health for a long time till ghouls die or something?
And is it a once a week loot only, which really means once a month?

The boss was bugged previously, he won't drop before the summoning is complete. Previously, i think if you interrupt him more than 3 times he will just become unkillable. Now he will keep resummon till anyone who's trying to interrupt gets it and give up. Achievement pops when the song ends, but if there are ghouls left, they will stay but become much easier to kill.
To be honest the amount of high lvl loot reported make it look like something definitely repeatable and we are just out of the loop.

Edit: didn't pop on Dalaran server at 10:30, but worked on AP, not sure why
 
Saw some interesting wowhead comments, these comments were made on the mace but could also be the same for the headpieces/toys:

I think his rare loot is on a weekly/monthly timer.

You can enter this line into the game and if it says "true" it means the game flagged you as having already killed him and he will no longer show up as rare or have a chance at the rare loot.

/dump IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(47767)

This is a link to the quest Death Metal Knight.

Seems like you have only one chance per day to loot it. After that you keep getting grey items.

I believe that lower-levels cannot participate for the toy and epic gear pieces currently.

The Death Metal Knight does not have a silver dragon elite around it for lower-level characters.

The quest seems to indicate that it should be able to be completed by all characters based on http://www.wowhead.com/quest=47767/death-metal-knight

When using the command "/dump IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(47767)" it will come up with false on a lower-level character, meaning that the Death Metal Knight should come up as a silver dragon elite.

I am not sure what the point is at which the silver dragon elite will appear, but it could potentially be something like 101+ even though the quest is supposed to be for all levels.


Hopefully someone confirms my suspicions wrong, but until there is an armory around with the gear equipped, I have doubts that we can obtain these items.
 
From what I can tell so far, it's leaning towards once a month per toon.

It's also possible that we can't loot the items. I've heard of 20s looting and having the items but have yet to actually see any. Shame on anyone who would lie about something so stupid.

However, I wonder if you could get them on a higher level toon and trade them to a 20. I know you can trade some gear and it will scale down. I haven't been able to try it yet, have yet to get any epics to drop at all.

@Valotian I think the min level is 60. In one of the threads somebody posted the armory of a 60 night elf warrior with the mace.

Alright, thank you. Odd that they would make it 60+ specifically... That does give some hope that perhaps it is just an oversight and will eventually be adjusted to all levels... But since it's Blizzard it will likely take awhile.

I'm pretty sure this is intentional unfortunately. I'm picturing it in my head, "Lol! A level 10 or 20 with a 2h epic mace and helmet? Nah, crank it up to a 60 requirement"

In all honesty, I can somewhat agree. low level players with epic gear other than tabards or shirts? Does seem crazy. But it's shitty of them to deny it to us after teasing us with epic necklaces during the love event. I can almost guarentee it crosses their minds that twinks will utilize it.

Except the Epic Stats are basically the same (scaled down) to Looms at any lower Level. The only thing Epic about it is that it's purple. Here's one example for a Level 20:

Tattered Dreadmist Mask (Cloth):

Armor: 6
Int: 7
Stam: 10
Haste: 9

Lightly-Padded Cage Helm (Cloth):

Armor: 6 [same]
Int: 9 [Better]
Stam: 13 [Better]
Haste: 6 [Worse]
Mast: 6 [Useless]

Yeah, but tbh with these stats in mind (particularly the uselessness of Mastery) I'm not even trippin that much that we can't get these epics; cuz I'm one of those weirdos that PvEs with their twinks, lol

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Epics in every slot on my low Level Twinks. I was just pointing out that I can't see the validity in Blizz making the Level requirement 60 just so low Level Twinks don't "take advantage of it".

Oh yeah, I totally agree. I guess my post was just meant to express how I felt about the stats on the helmets, and how it made it not such a big deal to me.

I mean, yeah I would have loved to be able to *collect* them on my twinks, but I'm not as bothered anymore.

However, if that mastery was crit or versa, I would still be a little upset and stubbornly trying to farm them on my level 20s; while being in denial about not being able to loot them. [emoji38]
