To encourage players not to shy away from the many invigorating adventures to be had in The Oculus, we have applied a change to enhance the rewards players are provided when selected for this dungeon via the Random Heroic option in the Dungeon Finder. Once Ley-Guardian Eregos is defeated, one loot bag per character will be provided in his chest in addition to the current rewards. Each loot bag will offer players rare gems, two additional Emblems of Triumph, and a chance of being rewarded the Reins of the Blue Drake. These fine treasures could be yours should you honor your fellow party members by besting the challenges contained within The Oculus! Keep in mind, however, that these extra loot bags will only be awarded to each party member if Oculus is selected by the Dungeon Finder when players choose the Random Heroic option.
In light of this change, the Reins of the Azure Drake will now have a chance of dropping in both 10- and 25-player versions of The Eye of Eternity.Q u o t e: Blue Drake!! BRB FARMING OCULUS!
Just bear in mind the loot bags will not drop for you if you specifically select Oculus. It has to be random.
Q u o t e: Has it occurred to you that if you need to add a massive goody bag to bribe people to do your dungeon that the dungeon itself is horrible design and that maybe reworking it would be better?
We can and do tune dungeons after they're released to improve upon them. When it comes to actual design though, we'd much prefer to focus our time on creating new dungeons rather than completely reworking old ones (aside from cases like Heroic Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines coming in Cataclysm). We feel the majority of our players would prefer new content as well over a redesign of Oculus.
This loot improvement is being made to encourage those players who typically choose to leave this dungeon when it's selected to instead give it a go. The less people who leave this dungeon when it's selected for them, the less the dungeon will be selected for others to fill those vacancies.Q u o t e: Also, any chance you guys can put this on the login screen and a message in-game? Maybe people will read it and be more willing to do Oculus and learn it. Especially for the mount collectors.
We can at least add it to the "Community" links section of the Launcher tomorrow. Many people do actually check the Launcher for the latest news before launching the game.
Q u o t e: This does not seem to be implemented yet; I just completed a random heroic Oculus and did not receive a bag.
This change is being made via a hotfix. If it's not yet live, it should be by the conclusion of the morning's maintenance. Sorry for any confusion on my part.
