Honestly this is the first thing in WoW I've seen in 10 years that's made me interested in it. I loved when things in this game were cryptic and hard to accomplish. 100k people in discord for a puzzle? An actual community effort to accomplish something? Shit's cool.
Same here, took like three hours. I was also super tired prior to doing it so it felt like torture that I could only stop by randomly guessing where I needed to go successfully, finally allowing me to go to bed.
same lmao, took me around 4 hours or something just running mindlessly around. When I got the last orb I started mapping out with a pen and paper because I was going insane
I remember when this got figured out, I took my next day off bought a case of twisted tea and sat down and had one of the best days I’ve ever had playing wow. This was truly fun and interesting to go along with and try to figure out. The satisfaction I felt when I finished the maze was one I hadn’t had in a long time in WoW. Keep it up blizz
yes! you did exactly what i did! I made a grid map in mspaint and manage to map and finish my maze faster than people with the addon the addon often doesn't take into account the doors that send you to a random spot in the maze the key is to not pick up any orbs but map out the whole maze until you've found all the orbs and glyphs, then use your map to match each of them there are no duplicates of orbs and no dublicates of glyphs, so when you get teleported to a random room you just have to wander about until you find something new or old and adjust your map accordingly solved the puzzle in 1 hour 12 minutes.
Me and my friend actually did this with a bit of help for the code. It was in the beginning when people didn't really know much of it. I kept my map, which I'm very proud of, a really messy peace of paper full of rooms. It was so fun to spend 5+ hours and to get that beautiful mount. :D
I did the exact same thing he did, with no addons, followed the guide on MMO-Champion and did it all in under 2 hours. But there were 100s of other players doing it at the same time, so people were just stacked on top of some things that you had to click, which was also time-gated since only 1 person could click on it at one time every 5 seconds.
I also did not use add-ons. I did the maze with a pencil and multiple pieces of paper. It was probably one of the most fun experiences I've ever had with this game
I was there as this was solved on discord, helped with some clues missed out on finding the puzzle in the hut by about 20 seconds lol. Think i was one of the first on Draenor to get this. I got lucky with the pandaria bit, didn't take me too long
I did lucid nightmare along with the discord as soon as they were solving it over the course of several days. No addons but the maze part took about 3 hours
I did it with no addons, but did use the pattern tutorial...took two tries however. First shot, I literally dedicated 8 hrs to pain and frustration with the runes and balls. I quit, went to bed, got up the next day and had it in 40 minutes(since it all starts over if you log out w/o completion) It's DEFINITELY an RNG grind for this mount. Some ppl it took them weeks of trying for, some still don't have it b/c they got so pissed they quit.
I did it like this aswell. People who look for fast solutions do not appreciate hard work. I usually dont give a shit about mounts but you cant imagine how hc it feels doing something like this on your own.
Did this a few days ago without addons (didn't even know there are addons for this :D) but I did use Excel to understand my maze. It was really nerve wrecking but also rewarding (not just the mount) and I kinda liked it ... I mean "the journey" oh and yes: the maze was easily the "worst" part and took me hours
He was lucky he didn't get a teleport room that fucks your entire shit up in the endless halls. But props to him for doing it without addons even if chat told him he couldn't do it. A ton of people did it with the addon.
I did this run about a day ago and it was fine for the first half of the venture, yet when I reached the endless halls maze, it took me hours to maneuver and solve holy jesus. I’m glad I got it though I was close to just losing my mind.
Drawing it by hand worked way better than the addon IMO, when I logged out midway and got back later all the orbs had reset and the addonmap was gone but I still had my hand drawn one so I knew where everything was, otherwise it would have taken twice as long
Guys, the labyrinth is only time consuming, if you found it difficult, your brain doesn't functions well enough. This whole mount hunt is pretty easy with the tutorial. Literally no need addons 'coz its that simple.
Damn you got lucky with the maze, i wish i had my paint file left because in the end it was pretty much useless because of all the twists and turns and shit *EVERYWHERE!*
This is the type of thing that old school puzzle games like Myst were best at. Except, the entire game was a puzzle, you didn't have thousands of people telling you how to do, and there was no guide on the internet to tell you how to do it either. You just had to struggle for hours and hours to figure that shit out. By the time you finish it, you'd basically had to write your own guide because pen and paper is pretty much necessary to solve things. Sure, large scale community effort makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, but doing this shit on your own would be way more impressive. Not sure why "No addons" is in the title like that makes it an accomplishment. This was just following step by step instructions.
Isn’t there one random room in the maze that just teleports you to a random room? I thought I remember having to go backwards every time I went into a new room to counter that
I did the same thing with no addons.. took me like 7-8 hours to accomplish it all. The maze took the longest, I tied to draw a map but got mixed up and had to just run around to find the orbs.
i was trying to draw a map of this place for 4 hours and it wasnt a coherent maze, the rooms werent even topologically connected to each other in any specific way, it was completly random and kept chaning. There is an addon for that?
the big problem with this labyrinth is, that it's 3dimensional :D it's actually having multiple interconnected layers ^^ which is why making a 2d map is making it very confusing. I even had a suspicion that it might even be one step further, that the room exits/entrances act as portals and several gates can lead to one room XD
I did it (the maze) without addons in around two hours. My hand-drawn map wasn't being consistentso i dropped it in about ten minutes. Another friend of mine yolo'd and finished it even faster than me. I guess it's just luck of the draw
It's still an 18x18 room grid with multiple layers, but due to the randomness of it some people are more lucky than others. I'd be willing to bet that there's some poor sod out there who spent like 48 hours in that maze.
RU-vid algorithm be like: I remember doing this with the addon and I wanted to die so I decided to use a piece of paper and I got it, I felt so accomplished.
