Xy'zzy's Ward is now the same on both Heroic and Legendary Hound of Xoriat, and no longer expires.

Oops.. no more solo after sitting for an hour....

It's a pretty obscure bug to fix but I guess someone got reported farming Reaper HoX.

Thank you for trying to give a fuck. Maybe someone else has it now.

Wins the award for the most meh change ever.  Is it fun to sit around for 1 hour waiting for the timer to expire?  I guess it is easy XP since you can do something else during the hour wait time, but it's so long it isn't going to really move the needle.  It would have been funny if they made the timer 3 hours rather than just eliminating it.  I wonder how long lazy folks would wait for a little bit of free XP and loot that isn't useful.

Or a person could have just dualboxed an account and afk in there while doing other raids.

True.  But it's still a hassle for not much return.

I find this interesting on a purely academic level.

Did the HoX timer run after zoning in, even if you did nothing?

So you'd just wait out the hour and bum rush Xyzzy for a (relatively easy) completion?

I've run HoX like, 4 times in 7 years of playing so I'm just curious at this point.  Huh

yes. after her ward expired a few ruin spammers would end it quickly.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Looks like I missed the boat again.

Although really, this would be agony.

The raid can be completed in like 5-10 mins just running it as intended.

It's an old one, but they nevef bothered to fix it, because only a few people was doing it...
Honestly, there's better things to fix/update than this... but well. *shrug*

I'll bet Xyzzy's ward doesn't expire even when brought down to 25% of her hitpoints by the smaller doggies.

Broken quest...par for the course.
