So I just reached 84...and can no longer cue for BRC...no problem.

However, AM never opened up for me. I'm about half way through Vash and still have not found a quest to open up AM, even if I wanted to.

So now, presumably, I'll have to wait till heroic to open these other dungeons that are locked to me.

Well at least I can take the smart appraoch and do the other dungeons on normal, that is when I do get them open. I still have three other zones to go through before opening them...IDK.

You know that you have to find the entrance to an instance before you can queue for it right?

The quests in AM aren't available until you've pretty much completed the zone, which I found a bit annoying.

If you did not find the entrance, you still see the dungeon in the list but locked.

So? You outleveled the loot in half the LK instances by 78 but could still queue for them.

What? No complaints? No long tl:dr posts? No personal attacks against people who have differing opinions on a video game?

You actually enjoy a game you're paying a monthly subscription for and having fun?!!??

That's right, buddy, reach into your wallet and hand over your "Whine & Cheese Weekly" membership card.

I'm cutting off your supply of Stilton!



Oh, and find a warlock or a group at a summoning stone?

I'd heard that....and yeah it is annoying. I mean..I can understand from a story point locked out of dungeons for the sake of the story but I got BRC to open in (what?) seven to ten quests?
So....
I decided to run some Vash quests.....
No luck.
Plus.....I started not getting rep for Earthen Ring. /shrug.
So back to Hyjal...where I got to Revered. Go a nice chest piece, necklace, and ring.
I'm friendly with Earthen Ring but have to go to Deepholm in order to get Honored...no biggie.

Just still bummed about AM....
Oh well.
As for other complaints? None. I'm just happy that I get to play at all.

Um maybe I am misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you think you need a quest to open up the instances ...

You just need to travel to the entrance, and get the [instance name] entrance discovered message, then you can queue for them. No quest needed.

You didn't need the quest to open up BRC, you could just have traveled to the entrance anyway.

^^^ that's what we did. 2 guildmates travelled out to entrance and used meeting stone to get the rest of us there.


btw, this might be handy:

I can sort of understand why Blizzard does the "dungeon doesn't show up on random" thing if you're too high level, but you would think that they would give you the option of opting in or out of cataclysm dungeons, seeing as how some people may not queue for the dungeon while they're questing, then suddenly they can't queue for it anymore period when they decide they want to run it. It's not like you're too ridiculously high level for it by that point, and not everyone wants to run a random heroic dungeon all the time either.

I gotta say, this is the first time I've ever seen "Throne of the Tides" abbreviated as "AM".. had to think about that one for a while.

But yes, it's a bit of a pain if you didn't choose to do Vashj'ir. You won't see the entrance until the very end of the zone's quests unless you go out of your way to go there. And you'll definitely need to do at least a few quests there to be able to breathe underwater etc.

Haha yeah, it sucks. I had opened a thread with that complaint some weeks before, too.
Thought I could quest and queue later into the normal instances like BC/WotLK. Imagine my surprise.

You can still go into the instance with a group of your server as somebody told me.

For me, it hurts twice since you do need normal instance experience before touching heroics (duh). I really consider you should try to get a group together for the normal ones or else you`ll attract putos and loudmouths if you go heroics without experience.

WARNING this post is going to blow your mind and freak out squares...be prepared

Form a group...go to the instance ...zone in... run the instance.


-----------
This is true of most of the instances in the game since you cant que for them past a certain level

You can get a random without discovering it, if you are in a group.
Maybe this is a bug ?
