really, there was no need to increase the timer on Gotta Go!

The only thing that was needed was to remove the randomness of his cast, as they were a real pain.

My best shot with some lucky rng (not lucky enough) I got him to 6% with 23 seconds left. If he somehow just started his pound on intervals like 76, 51, 26, this dude would still be challenging DPS wise, but one wouldnt need to wipe for 5 hours (like I did) before u got TWO lucky Pounds before his burrow percentages...

/beg Blizzard, do not increase the timer, just remove the randomness of his casts

No, they just need to have the adds spawn inside the ring, instead of taking forever and a day coming down the ramp. Gobs of time is wasted and stupid methods like having people outside the webwall for the encounter is part of those extreme strategies.

CoT strat timed runs are very doable, but I would much rather they shorten the timer even more and offer players some way to skip the annoying blather from Arthas and Co. and long waits between spawns after a boss has been killed.

Agreed. I totally didn't want a chance of getting an awesome PC to upgrade the bag of spanners I'm currently using. Thank you once again Curse for taking a dump all over us UK residents.

Sometimes I really wonder why such sweepstakes have a form which includes choosing a country where you live, if only one or two countries are truly eligible to participate.

agreed, they're giving away a $2000 computer, you would think they could pay a little extra for air mail

Agreed with some other posters, give stuff to us Europeans as well . While I can imagine the reasons for not doing this it still sucks

As for leveling zones, Icecrown is the coolest zone ever but Dragonblight isn't far behind.

Can't believe they are nerfing HEROIC achievements already, or actually at all. Yeah sure we did it with a 4DPS & 1 tank setup but then again it's an achievement not everyone is supposed to get either. At least not right away. Let's just hope they won't gimp it down with more then 15 seconds. As long as they force players to still skip one burrow phase then ok since it is a bit RNG'ish atm.

I have my doubts about this thou. I'm personally having quite a bit of fun doing all of these heroic dungeon achievements because there's a good few that you won't be one-shotting. I thought Less-rabi was one of the most fun ones to do. Not because it's hard, not at all. But it just reminded me of those good old trail and error games. Kind of the same with Gotta Go! Bash your head into the wall for a while and eventually you'll pull it off and it'll feel like a bit more of an accomplishment then just one-shotting...

Also don't think that Gotta Go is the one achievement that will be keeping people from getting the drake. If anything, the Oculus ones are probably the hardest. The 20 minute one leaves little or no room for error. Wiping almost certainly means you won't make the timer. Also took us quite a bit of time to do the last boss with 5 bronze drakes for the emerald & ruby void achievements. Let's just hope this nerf will be the one and only because it's not like these achievements are impossible to do atm.

Oh it's also funny how Blizzard thinks Holy Paladins are fine atm... they're not. I just don't understand why they're being so stubborn about Beacon of Light. It's not like increasing the range on it to 100 yards would suddenly make holy paladins completely overpowered. Beacon of Light in it's current state is virtually useless on 90% of all encounters and on top of that it takes way too much mana as well. In the end holy paladins are back to doing what they did 2 years ago, spam flash of light... looks like I rerolled my spec just in time.

If you have an issue with something not being available in your area, you'll need to contact your lawmakers.

That said we have found a ruleset that will work for most of Europe. Some are still going to be excluded due to territorial laws in regards to contests/sweepstakes.

We can't include it in this sweepstakes because it's what was agreed upon with the sponsors, but future contests/sweepstakes should include Europe where possible.
