Ask Gauss

So it is Sunday the day of the week that comes after Saturday and before Monday every week. Sunday is also the day of Ask Gauss the day of the week where I answer all your questions no matter what they may be. For those of you that still don't know how to be a part of this send your questions at anytime to gaussafication@gmail.com. So lets get to it shall we.


So with the addition of Heroic Deadmines and Shadowfang keep is there another instance you would like to see in heroic mode from classic?


It would obviously be great if they all were. Now my choice here is not because it was my favourite but because I think it would be a challenge. When Zul'Farak first came out or really in fact when you were of level to do this instance it was insanely difficult. The divino-matic rod event was near impossible even when you had level 60s in the group. I really believe this was the reason that I have never been a fan of troll instances. I remember the wipe upon wipe on that event over and over again. I remember finally completing it and getting that stupid blue ring as the quest reward.


So based upon that I would love to see how crazy they could make this instance and at the same time it would be worth the challenge.

What is your opinion on the dungeon finder for leveling to 85?

Well I have never been a fan on doing dungeons to level. This was of course when you had to find groups and such and was time consuming. Also the experience gained in the time spent in them was not nearly as high as mass questing. This is actually seen through my achievements for completed dungeons at level 80. I didn't complete a normal version of an instance before doing the heroic version. Which probably says a lot of the level of "heroic" mode in wrath as well.

I like to level fast and enjoy it at the same time. To see the areas through the development and experience it through the crazy launch period. I also generally save group quests and come back to them. Some people will say the gear from instances and instance quests make them worth your time. My response to that is the blues you would be getting won't be sticking around with you long enough and not to mention the stat gains from levels versus the gear you will gain.

What boss do you hope they make a Lil' non combat pet of?

Illidan. Like how is there any other choice.

So that is it for this week. If you want your question answered you have to send it along for that to happen. The next Reader Post is going to be about your favourite moment of this expansion. It could be funny, it could be stupid, or it could be completely epic. Just tell me what it is regardless of what it is.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend!
