End of the dungeon loop trial: the results

The figures

• 2,500 autonomous players, starting from level 1 on 2 November; at the stop, average level 37.8, the most advanced at level 45.
• 70,852 dungeon runs, 64,639 dungeons finished (91%), 207,653 bosses defeated, 12,257 wipes.

Bugs found

Since the evening of 4 November: 56,696 runs, 4.6% of them not finished.

• Server restarts: about 1,100 runs cut short.
• Shadowfang Keep: in Horde groups, the tank targeted a prisoner locked in his cell, then the group stayed stuck (183 runs). Fixed.
• Groups without a tank: a tank could go on its end-of-session break right after accepting its group, leaving the four others waiting in the dungeon. Fixed.
• Stormwind Stockade: a member stuck in the scenery near Kam Deepfury, whom the tank waited for until giving up (132 runs). To be fixed.
• Shadowfang Keep (courtyard path), Deadmines (step towards Mr. Smite), Razorfen Kraul (wipes on the same group of monsters, line of sight): a few dozen runs each. To be fixed.
• Armory: the wave of trainees that follows Herod's death often kills the group, after the dungeon is finished.
• Server: with 2,300 autonomous players, freezes of about 2.5 seconds, to be measured during the next trial.
• Analysis tool: it reported the paused Pantheon characters as an anomaly. Fixed.

The site

• The home page presents the trial as over, with its figures frozen; each trial character's armory sheet stays available.
• Dungeons are listed by level, with their recommended level range.

Next

All pending fixes are gathered: classic endgame dungeons, Sunken Temple, Outland, Northrend and the trial's fixes. They go through a regression trial on the test server before a single deployment. A new trial from level 1 is being considered.
