Lord DJo not spawning

[Lader]

<p>Went through forgotten pools tonight, Lord Djo was not spawned after we killed Gerg Taea and rode the griffon.</p>

[Morghus]

<p>Different issue, we were able to spawn and kill him, but never got the achievement for it. Made it back with plenty of time to spare and clicked the tree when he got near.</p>

[Gninja]

<p>Did you complete the event with him as a pet? I will check into some possible reasons why he might not be spawning.</p>

[Gninja]

<p>He had to be permakilled till an exploit could be fixed. It should be included with the next Hotfix.</p>

<p>So how do you get into the other instances ?</p>

[Gninja]

<p>Completing Forgotten Pools quests will unlock The Ascent. Completing the quests in the Ascent will Unlock the Fortress Spire.</p>

<p>so basically we cant do any of them instances because this was not tested enough to prevent this kind of thing?.... you guys break the servers, you break the zones, and quest .... just go ahead and take a magnet to what ever is holding the game info and say "oh we lost things, we will not waste your time anymore by not fixing it".... this kind of things is getting really sad and frustrating. happened with merge, now release of xpac, almost every update makes things worse then they already were</p>

[Blindsite]

<p>how do you even kill lord bob me and my guild have tried everything and cannot figure out a way to do it.</p>

[Lempo]

<p>He is not that hard to kill, all you have to do is pay attention to what happens. If you do not pay attention to the rain drops then things can get pretty ugly, pretty quickly...</p>

In order to fix the issue with the zone we would have to patch as well so we got it pushed up to the absolute soonest hotfix we could so that it was fixed and available once again. I am sorry it put you in a tough situation and added to frustration but it was the only option we had at the time. In the future we will defiantely try to get these things added to the MOTD for you guys.</p><p>Again my apologies!</p>

[Lempo]

<p>Thanks for the response Gninja, it still doesn't make sense that a mob can be yanked from a zone at any point in time but a message that is displayed or for that matter constantly broadcasts to that zone every 5 minutes or something couldn't be done w/o a patch. The zone in thing makes more sense to require a patch.</p><p>I can only hope that this actually gets added to the to-do list immediately after removal of a key mob such as this, not only in the MOTD but at least 3 broadcasts to all servers as well. I know there are thousands of droolers that will ask the very same question in the public channels the minute they login in when it is answered in the MOTD, those of us that play the game seriously and do not want it dumbed down any further so that the lowest common denominator WOW player can 'get it' do as well.</p><p>I see by the patch notes now that it is fixed so hopefully tonight assuming no server failures we can get 6 groups through these 3 zones.</p><p>Again thanks for the response and I am hoping that the Witchdoctor is not going to turn into a wipe fest...</p>

<p>There's both the welcome window and the MOTD... both of those could be used to inform folks about zones that aren't working properly.</p><p>It happens some times with the motd, but it's too inconsistent -- lots of folks just ignore the motd. I'd love to see it used more consistently for issues like that rather than just advertising (there's already SC advertising and a community message space in the welcome window).</p>
