US F2P BRD clear

[Brihan]

oh shit! You guys keep trucking. Im like 2 hours from getting on a flight but I wanna keep up vicariously with your progress.

Is someone recording? Can you give us a solid play-by-play when you're finished?

We are two people recording
But getting further than this boss is hard and requires some imagination to not aggro half of the dungeon ^^

And also ... some people took things on the table in the bar ... so they all turned hostile ... which ended our run because our spawnpoint is basically a giant trap where you instant die ...

We'll try again tomorrow to get the tavern cleaned first.

And of course, for what we would have finished, we would offer a nice guide

But for real, that's really hardcore PvE, more intense than Mythic+

yea, thats a full reset right there.

Extremely my style. Look forward to your recap.

My solo BRD adventure started when Phalanx hit me and ended when he hit me again

Also, I tried smuggling the timeless isle shrine buff for 25% Crit and haste, but it disappeared upon entry.

Also go go Brihans group! 1 boss down!

I am so ready for this! Let's try to gather up for the first run (US-side).

How did you do to interact with Phalanx and get him hostile?

I duo queued with my p2p, got dwarf drunk then logged out of it. Won’t work if you’re doing a 5man tho

Here comes Golem Lord Argelmach's body!

Woo-hoo! F2P POWAH!!!

Is someone recording?

No worries... I found a clip of their first boss-kill:

Brihan vs. Argelmach

I don't mind waiting for video... but for now, at least give us team-comp and methodology-highlights!

Ouch... if you really can't beat Phalanx, you could always "flip the script" and see how far you can get in the other direction!

Also go go Brihans group! 1 boss down!

Agreed! (We're also gonna' need @Brihan to choose a short group-name for referencing... like "B-Squad" or "EuroPain" or "BRDogs" or something.)

How did you do to interact with Phalanx and get him hostile?

We could ask you the same thing!

Seriously though, props to @Brihan for getting this party started... now it's time for everyone else to get busy as well!

(...and gimmie video, damnit!)

Well, some updates on our run of today!

We managed to find a way to clear beautifully the tavern, without dying too much, as well as killing his boss, Plugger Spazzring!

We are at 2h30 on the timer, everything is ready to start the next boss Lord Incendius, and then we will try Fineous Darvire, and maybe again Golem Lord Argelmach.
We are trying to make it the "real run" by completing it entirely, even if we are learning new mechanics everytime

Our current composition is:
- DPS Hunter -- Crihan-Argentdawn
- DPS Hunter -- Dundie-BurningLegion
- HEAL Shaman -- Céle-Argentdawn
- HEAL Shaman -- Mortagon-Quel'Thalas
- TANK Druid -- Картофанчик-Борейскаятундра

And our strategy? Well, we don't have any
We basically read the dungeon guide while fighting the boss, aggro too many mobs too often, try to kite the mobs while hunters kill only one, ...
But slowly we learn how to clean it "professionnaly"

More updates later today

 

[Mythic Al]

Look at all the fun they're having across the pond!

Calling you out, NA F2Ps! Let's get our group going!

I have the following classes available for these runs:

Hunter (Damage) - [Both Alliance & Horde]
Warrior (Tank) - [Both Alliance & Horde]
Paladin (Tank/Healer) - [Both Alliance & Horde]
Priest (Healer) - [Both Alliance & Horde]
Monk (Healer) - [Both Alliance & Horde]

 

[Chops]

I'm so hyped for you guys. This is so cool. Can't wait to get started on it.

If theres a vet run hmu priest any spec

As we don't want to take too much place here to share our progression, and as you need this place to recruit fellow US players, I created another thread dedicated

Good luck to you all, it's not easy to find people motivated enough to be part of such an adventure.
But when you found your team, the fights inside BRD can be really fun and complex, and even require serious strategy. And I think that finding the strategy is also part of the challenge, as in everything related to F2P

 

[Imnotabelf]

I’d love to join in on this if possible. F2P Paladin can go any of the 3 roles.

Alright, back in town! Lets set up a run for this weekend. I've gathered from the EU teams posts that there are some things to consider that may affect your availability/willingness. Namely, it seems to take roughly 2 hours to clear to/kill a boss, wiping will be a frequent occurrence (they had 200ish wipes it seems like) and all the fun that comes with that (repair bills, food for buffs, elixirs etc) so in the immortal words of Light, gonna need folks to "stay loose"

I'd like to "rush" Emperor so we can get you guys the achievement and then, if everyone is still feeling it, back clear the rest of the bosses for giggles and /flex.

So given that this is going to take some time, I say lets expect to start at 10am cst on saturday? This should give you plenty of time to stock mats for cooking and elixirs as well as walnut stocks for repair bills.

@Donor @Fat Al @Zemmix @Imnotabelf @Derpyhooves @Hashbrowns everyone has expressed interest. Lets talk availability and comp. I can heal or tank (or DPS but my hunters are only passably geared)

Tank - Chops, warrior
Heal 1 - Ohti, shaman
Heal 2 - Fat Al, priest
DPS 1 - Drad, hunter
DPS 2 -

! will very much ask that this also be a full pure F2P run. We're going to set up a vet clear with @ohti and the <TF> boys too, so if some of you would prefer that or are expecting that, let us know and we'll get that going too.

I will also ask that everyone at least be able to listen in discord. The EU boys have expressed that some of these pulls and bosses require a pretty impressive level of coordination.

My priest and monk are really the only up to date toons atm. I can always bring my hunter too shes not too far behind.

That being said I'd like to heal if possible
