Heh. I remember expecting cookie to come after me immediately when zoning into the deadmines for the second time way back when and being a little miffed when it didn’t happen wouldn’t be too hard really to add this to the game methinks…

Why do you get different loot each time? That’s easy! The baddies are wearing the same stuff each time, but you get the loot that didn’t get destroyed in that specific fight.

Actually the CoT instances are no more believable than any other, in fact they make less sense than other ones. You’re forgetting that if you went back in time to an exact moment, cleared the instance, came back, then went back in time to that same moment for a second run, logically you and your previous group would be there too. So there would be another version of yourself the second time, two others the third time, etc.

And this is why the CoT make NO sense: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20090609.gif

CoT are my favorite instances in the game! I like them so much I rarely try and eat Chromie anymore. The only flyer I ever use is my Bronze Drake because it makes me feel closer to my favorite dragon flight. From the first time I got to fight beside Thrall I was hooked. I have since done every instance in the Caverns as often as I get the chance to, would would love to see an Infinite Dragonflight centered expantion where instead of covering ground you cover time periods, phasing up and down through time putting right the things that have gone wrong. Lore centered instances at every turn, and a raid that feels more lore centered than Mt. Hijal(while a great battle it dosen’t expound on story much). This would be cool to epic degrees.

Nice, but…
Each time you go into UK it’s at a point further forward in time from when you last went into it. Obviously that doesn’t explain the respawns and same tactics time and time again that you’ve mentioned, which was a good point!

However, when you go into CoT instances, you’re going back in time to the SAME time as you were there last time… wouldn’t you already be there from the last time (and the time before that etc etc)?

I say that because the Infinite Dragonflight is interfering with time just by being there, that’s echoing down time to every point with major conflict. Since those are all instances or raids, the timeline gets confused, and so you can get different loot each time.

Yes, I did try to solve everything with the time travel argument.

Definitely makes sense. A similar effect is that the old world is the past now – for example, Gryan Stoutmantle is still handing out Defias quests in Westfall, but in Northrend the Defias have been defeated and he’s now a captain in Grizzly Hills.
