Black Temple Reset?

#0 - Nov. 6, 2010, 5:31 a.m.

So, today I was doing Black Temple. As we were doing Relinquary of Souls, we started to transition from phase 1 to phase 2 and the instance randomly reset and the trashed respawned. So I thought, "well a GM helped me get my Main-Hand Warglaive, perhaps my Off-Hand will come this way." But, alas, through clearing the instance I came to no luck. A year and a half wasted farming that stupid item.

But my question to you technical support is, do you have any answers as to if the loot would've been different had the instance not reset? Would I be filled with nerd joy had the server not crashed? Or Am I a complete tard and I must continue my tideous joureny of farmage.

Any blue post will help, thanks.

Also,
P.S.
Curse you RNG

Q u o t e:

While I understand many regulars here try to be helpful, you sure do spread a lot of misinformation.

From Drysc in 2008. Loot always has and always be established the moment the mob/chest is spawned and the instance is created. So OP, if your raid ID did not change, then your instance is still the same and your loot from Illidan would not have been any different.

That post is rather old, Cyvist, and it's possible it is no longer up to date. Keep in mind that much has changed regarding how bosses and particularly raid IDs are handled in the past couple of months alone, so I am unsure which is currently the case. Unfortunately, I'm unable to comment on the mechanic myself, as that would be best left to either our Community Managers or our developers to discuss.
