Tiamat is not dead, it's just that random parties that tries will be dead. Until they implement some kind of premade parties (and gear higher requirement required), people will just go in there to loot the losing rewards, and there's 0% chance of completing it.

man.. who ever fixed this game.. really fixed it good.. and by fixed it.. fixed it in the most ironic way possible. you need a party. you need a party you can play with.. guess what.. that party doesn't play anymore because we made them leave.. or is that ironic.. shrugs.. I'll just say depressing.
The dragon runs have pretty much died out...if you don't have a good and sizeable group....you get only one dragon down. I think I have heard of a group that did manage to get all 5 down but my guess is they pretty much had 40 people in the instance and all 40 on the dragons.
I run at least 2 a night mostly 4/5 dragons downed. Look at the zone chat at 30 past the hour and you will see at least 3 instances asking for players. Join the hunt.

They're up in diff instances and you have to get invited to the group to play.. kinda like the dragons on non well of dragons. I'll try that out tonight if I can..
Dragon runs take like half an hour to do now. You need to show up around 0:30 and start looking for an instance to join. Preferably a new instance that people are joining just for dragon runs.
I believe the runs are only happening in limited instances to get the success needed. The runs I did were 5 for 5.
You may need to ask for an active instaxnce in zone chat. I know they were certainly advertising.
I've been on a few runs, and only seen up to 3 for 5. It seemed lucky at the time.
Who came up with the idea of starting at the Green dragon??? The White is closest to the door for late-comers, and it can be seen from the camp to entice people. The Green is waaaay over there.....
Black is buggy and Green is too far from Black. 4 or 5 dragon kills are quite common now. I've been in a 7 kills run already.
Put your graphical options to the minimum and you should be keeping the strain on your machine to manageable levels.

Yup. you need to get invited to an instance past 30peepz and with 40 people (max) in order to get a chance to do at least 4 out of 5.
Up until now I've only been to one 5/5 run, and got jack out of it honestly.
I certainly miss being able to rip into the fray, on any instance, and be sure there was a fight. I don't have the kind of time involved to get to this very often.... Boooring.
As stated above you need to start seeking a suitable herald instance about 15 minutes before it starts. That's 15 minutes of messing around waiting for 10 minutes of fighting.
Unfortunately, any dragon run I've been in that's had more than 15-20 people in it have been so badly lagged that it didn't matter.
and this. i don't even bother going to WoD in mod6.

I generally get 4/5 Heralds on every run, but with double RP announced yesterday, I went and bought the 2 Greater belts I needed for my toons on AH as in all the runs I have done so far I haven't gotten a single artifact belt drop from Heralds. No point in returning there now...Laggy as hell anyways with DCs and OPs about causing us all sorts of problems.
Our pain is self chosen.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
You can join some zerg channels if you are geared person. Worst thing is lag there. Normal for me is 5/5 but sometimes people (mostly pugs) spam seal or have prism feat so 3-4/5.

That's odd with the belt drops, I've had 6 drop in the last week to include puissance, and greater constitution. I hope your luck changes for the better.
Happy hunting

I'm curious.. what new content was even brought to this game? that guy with the sword and his boo? I've never once seen boo come out and play.. =/
Boo is trying to but every time he gets on he Lags outs and disconnects.
Dragon runs (or what I call a dragon run) used to be :45 every hr before tiamat.. nut now it seems as...
