This really blows. Cant even do most of the heroics right now :/ I've just been leveling a druid(which is way more fun then leveling my rogue).

This makes me want to pay for a character transfer to a low pop server. I mean, would that even help? I'm guessing the instance servers are realm specific, but I have no idea.

i'm on a medium population server and it's AWFUL. It just took me 3 hours to get into deadmines, and that's the only time I've been able to get into anything at all after 11am since the patch

It was pretty bad before the patch, now it's just absurd

fuck they just need to limit reg ToC to once a day, and make h toc more like 2 day lockout

I haven't gotten this message in a long time. Just lucky, I guess.

yeah, i think i might end up paying for an xfer to a buddies server. I was gonna wait but that was only to try and gear myself. Now that I can't get in instances, might as well move on :]

haha, and all everyone on I talked to kept saying that the patch would fix it, guess not. I knew this new lockout shit was going to screw it up worse.

yeah, this whole thing is ridiculous. on burning blade, it's taking between one and two hours per instance group to get into the instances. it makes me not want to really play my main, as i don't want to wallhump an instance portal just to get in. i really wish they'd have thought about this BEFORE WotLK or something.

That instance cap system was implemented before Classic release, and Blizz admitted to it being a quick fix that wouldn't hold to a larger player base.

I bought a second account to do some recruit-a-friend leveling. I was planning on instance grinding 1 of each class I didn't have to 60 within the free month, but I doubt that will happen now. I can't get into SHIT.

I ran about 6 hours worth of ToC this afternoon without interruption.

I'm pretty sure the new instances/raids have the highest priority. And thats the problem, everyone keeps farming reg toc. Need to make attunements or lockouts on reg toc.



OR they could just hurry the fuck up and upgrade the servers. There's like 20 servers that are updated and fixed. The rest of them are going to take a while because its a 2 part process. The first parts easy(fyi, i'm just regurgitating a blue post) but the second hardware upgrade could potentially cause a full day of downtime.

So I understand why they're not doing it, but eventually a day of downtime is not going to outweigh a month of no instances.

has this problem moved to outland instances or just vanilla and tbc instances?

on the alliance server i play on, it takes about 30-45min to get into a tbc heroic to try for the bird mount. on the horde server i usually have no problem zoning in. both are pretty old and active servers

wow you guys are actually willing to reward blizzard's incompetence by paying them for an xfer :rofl:

I don't think my 25$ matters either way. And its only 25$ :]

well i ran enough heroics for everything ill ever need

even got the new gear out of ToC, some of that stuff is ridiculous (the caster cloak is insane, almost as good as pennant but it lacks the socket)

The instance cap is a set number that doesn't discriminate. It doesn't matter if it's a ToC-25-heroic or a bored 80 trolling around in RFC, it all counts to the number.

They should start working on player housing, and use isntanced areas of the capitals to house them.

Actually, i'm pretty sure they give priority to the higher end instances. We were getting the additional instances for ToC for a few minutes and then it would let us in, didn't matter what night. I spent about half an hour last night trying to get into stocks and nothing.
