I saw you in heroic Halls of Lightning last week. I was healing, wearing a Velen’s Cowl of Conquest. You came in wearing full tier 1 with the banana shoulders. You tanked with skill and made the whole group smile. After the last boss, you headed back to Khadgar. Coffee, heroics and healing some time?
It was a “love” connection for two players from the Stormstrike battlegroup’s Dungeon Finder last week — and they reconnected right here in the comments of The Classifieds!
Hephaestus: … Keleili, I very much appreciated your post and comments. Getting recognition for being a good pally tank (as well as a sharp-dressed one) was the furthest thing from my mind, but it sure made for a great birthday present! If only you were healing me on the eve of the BC expansion when I was getting the best of both worlds. I’ll gladly run with you as my healer anytime; you, too, are a skilled player and a bacon saver! — Hephaestus of Khadgar
Jennifer: *LOL* You are very welcome. It made my day. I had only just started to think about raiding on my then-60 when BC came out, so I never got to actually see the vanilla raid content. (If I remember correctly, I was always doomed to have 7/8 of the tier .5 set.) So, you are totally awesome in my mind. — Keleili
All together now: Awww … Join us for more reader-to-reader connections, after the break.

Our friendly neighborhood Dungeon Finder will become the one and only method of accessing seasonal holiday bosses, come Patch 3.3.3. No longer will you need to worry about which players in your group have their daily summons available or whether your roll will be enough to win such rare but delicious vanity items such as the Big Love Rocket or the Horseman’s Reins. Everything will be streamlined and automated now — but that doesn’t mean the process won’t still prove to be a significant journey.
Al: One does not simply walk into holiday bosses.
Kurash: Not with ten thousand men could you do this! It is folly!
mtsadowski: I will do it. I will tank the holiday bosses … only I do not know the way.
Henrah: I will help you bear this burden, mtsadowski, as long as it is yours to bear.
tulipblossom: If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword.
Bril: And my axe.
D4: And my pet.
MarcSpirit: Great! Where are we going? – End of Disk One –
Join us for Disk Two of this week’s [1.Local], after the break.

The buzz this weekend is all about the upcoming improvements to the Dungeon Finder tool.
Snuzzle: “The Deserter debuff given to players who leave a dungeon prematurely when queuing via the Random Dungeon option has been increased to 30 minutes, up from 15 minutes. The cooldown for using the Random Dungeon option remains 15 minutes.” Awesome. Maybe this will help prevent whiny tanks from dropping group because something didn’t go their way if they know they’re faced with a queue time as long as a DPS.
“Players who use the Vote Kick option will now be prompted to provide a reason for kicking a party member. This reason will be presented to everyone in the party except for the person voted to be kicked.” Also awesome, will hopefully prevent said whiny tanks from kicking DPS “because I feel like it.” I they actually have to make up a reason on the fly, maybe they’ll be less likely to do so. I won’t click “yes” to kick without a reason, and almost no one says the reason in chat. Maybe they think it should be apparent, but most of the time when I ask them it’s just “because I feel like it.”
“Anyone in a dungeon party can now re-queue their group for a dungeon, as players will still be prompted whether or not to accept their chosen role.” Complete win.
I am glad Blizzard is continuing to improve upon their already awesome Dungeon Finder. They saw a lot of ways it was being exploited or used to grief other players and are working to prevent such. Bravo.
Find more on the upcoming patch changes and additional in-depth coverage throughout the weekend’s posts — and more of the chatter in [1.Local] after the break.

We don’t usually pick up comments from Breakfast Topics. It’s just too easy, bringing to mind that weird kid who sneaks back to the table to lick leftover maple syrup and powdered sugar off the plates after a sleepover party breakfast. And this BT about what content might tide us over until Cataclysm hits evoked exactly that feeling: an over-abundant, sticky-sweet pool soaking mushy leftovers that seem glued to the plate.
Possum: Some nice solo content to tie up loose ends would be nice. I always felt bad about leaving the BC factions behind so suddenly.
- Hey Consortium guys, hows it going? Sorry I haven’t been visiting lately. Oh, have you been keeping all those gems for me? Yeah, I guess you can just sell them or something …
- I hope the the Mag’har are still doing well, trapped on a world that is slowly dissolving into the Twisting Nether … But hey, at least Grom Hellscream is gone now, so that’s a plus, right?
- Also like to do a shout out for the Netherwing dragonflight. Hope things have improved for you guys since I defeated those Dragonmaw guys for you. I mean, it was a lot of work, but we got there in the end right? I hope you’ve built some crazy Netherdragon palace of magic and wonder in the Twisting Nether or whatever.
jealouspirate: Obviously, patch 3.3.3 will be “The Argent Afterparty!”
Features:
- Gather at the tournament grounds to do even more jousting dailies as a way to look back on the days when we had to do jousting dailies … Why did we need to learn those skills again?
- PvP content: Since the Lich King is defeated (sort of but not really), the Horde and Alliance have no reason to play nice. Tournament is no longer a Sanctuary. Good luck completing your dailies without getting ganked!
- PvE content: The Black Knight returns! Did you really think your petty tournament could stop an agent of the Scourge?
Possum: … Hey, wait, why did we have to do all that jousting? YOU MADE ME JOUST FOR NOTHING, BASTARDS! *shakes fist in the air*

Grab a cushion, flop down and give your weary dogs (puppies?) a rest. The photo above notwithstanding, rest assured that the rest of [1.Local] this week is an Ensidia-free zone. (So is the world-first 25-man Lich King kill, for that matter.) Can you imagine having to hash that out yet again? What a relief that [1.Local] isn’t merely a tally sheet for comments from stories with the most views — or even the stories with the most comments, or the most positive comments, or (as comment trolls hold fast to believing) the most negative comments … We can follow our own little quirky path through the conversation of the past week.
Let’s bite into the rest of this week’s goodies just like we all like it: nice and meaty, with a little bit of hot, runny juices from the odd little beasts we discovered just down yonder, off the beaten track…
