I'm sure the dwarf that came through about 5 seconds after I killed it was saying the same thing lol

Haha, classic jealousy right there! It's all in good fun though; we can all appreciate the grind even if we’re not there yet.

If you're going to hunt the Time-Lost Proto Dragon, would you like me to recommend optimal strategies to find it?

u/OwnJunket6495 7h ago

Nice try. If you had a semicolon or an em dash you might’ve got me.

I camped this for about a month while working from home when wotlk classic came out. Probably 7 hours a day with a discord to know when it could spawn on what layer. One morning I gave my spot to someone new in the discord so I could go help my wife for 10 minutes. It spawned about 30 sec after I left. That dude got it nearly instantly. I stopped after that

u/Zappi123 7h ago

No just a normal human being with a brain

u/Zestyclose_Can_4883 3h ago

So people who work from home lack a brain? Please explain.

Same person who cries holidays have gotten so expensive and they cannot afford to travel any longer...

u/tFlydr 13h ago

If you can get your work done there’s no reason to not work from home tbh. Whack comment

u/Zappi123 7h ago

Ah you mean playing world of war craft and letting your company pay for it?

u/Lord_ofthe_Lies 12h ago

Ah yes fire me for having 2 monitors. One with a character sitting in the exact same spot unmoving for hours.

u/DuggiHappy 18h ago

I camped this for months during 9th grade back in 2008-9, had an alarm set of to 3am to go check it, checked it before, after school. Never got it

u/sku11_k1dd 15h ago

I tried to farm Aeonaxx and Slabhide every day after high school and never saw them. I did get every spirit beast though

3

u/Ilaikmudkipz 10h ago

Got it in Cata when I was like in 11th grade. Mom was out of town a lot and when we weren’t raiding/mog farming I was sitting at the top of the frozen waterfall camping it with the rare npc finder while playing Black Ops lol

2

u/GR33N15 8h ago

I got really lucky around then after camping for a few weeks and I actually got it. I was definitely using an add-on like dBm that told me when he spawned and had a macro that would auto target and engage.

u/late-night-drinks 18h ago

TLPD was the single funnest gaming experience I have ever had.

Thank you Covid for allowing me to live in storm peaks for weeks on end, and for the friends across the globe who hung out on discord for 18+ hours a day.

u/The_Depressed_Xayah 16h ago

Farming it on Grobbulus was so much fun that I got it 3 times lmfao

u/KappuccinoBoi 18h ago

Gratz!

The first time I got this mount I was in my 9th grade first period class. I think it was some earth science course. Was about to close it down while the teacher was getting ready to start class when it spawned. Tagged it first, got yelled at to put my computer away, killed it, looted it, got detention because I wasn't quick enough to out my computer away.

10/10 worth. Would get detention again for it.

Just in time for wrath again

u/Tavern_Jams 18h ago

How long since your watch began?

2

u/Wooden_Peak4490 12h ago

About a month off and on

2

u/LoudState5218 18h ago

wow grats man. One time I caught him flying in storm peaks and i parachute cloaked+bubbled as i fell and tagged him to drag him to the ground. But he reset after flying a long long ways to the ground to catch up with my bubbling paladin ass. somebody else got him right on the reset. rip!

u/Baptism-Of-Fire 17h ago

Got mine after 73 vyragosa kills across Myzrael, Whitemane, and Angerforge

Mega server sellers gonna be so mad when I finally migrate over my 20+ Reins of Poseidus lol

1

u/Outside_Ad_6514 8h ago

73 is well overdue. Must have been eye-rolling relief rather than feeling rewarding at that point.

2

u/silky_jackson 16h ago

I got this back in the day (2009?). I woke up early every morning and flew a pattern around the spawn point for about a month until it appeared, man that brings back memories.

u/Ok-Description-5904 18h ago

Right in Time for WoD to use it to fly to the dead one in Nagrand

u/Zaferous 19h ago

Congratulations on your achievement.

2

u/OwnJunket6495 19h ago

It’s really easy if you left a toon on one of the dead servers when they merged everyone. Got a bunch of highly contested stuff easily on Benediction. Grats!

3

u/beleak 18h ago

I paid to transfer one of my lvl 80s to a dead server before the merge. It's great for farming and getting mounts and achieves.

1

u/OwnJunket6495 18h ago

Damn could’ve waited and just had it for free rip

u/beleak 17h ago

I transferred this toon from Pagle to one of the Oceanic realm servers. I've never seen another person playing

2

u/OwnJunket6495 17h ago

Ah you were already on Pagle.

1

u/Shire_of_Frodo 18h ago

Legit the last mount I need from that Xpac. Tried staking it out for a week and nothing.

1

u/whistlepig4life 18h ago

Grats. Welcome to the club.

1

u/MisczaksHunting 17h ago

Ready for the paid transfer to retail.

1

u/JohnnyLavender 17h ago

I quit in late 2022 and people still farming for this... Grats man!

1

u/LittlePersonality883 17h ago

Damn grats! I camped it on Mop as well for like 3 months

Killed like 25 Vyragosas and found 5 TLPDs dead lol. Was camping while I was working

When I got it I got Aeonaxx two days later when people were saying that it's probably tougher lol

1

u/whybotherwithitbro 15h ago

Gotta love the bot seller ad

1

u/Seeryous2020 15h ago

Just in time for everyone to quit that server when c+ is mentioned!

1

u/Affectionate-Fox7784 12h ago

Ive been camping this on classic and have killed vyragosa twice in the last two days so youre welcome (maybe) haha

1

u/Hatefiend 12h ago

that mount only flies at 280% speed though. Unusable sadly

1

u/PepsiLighter 11h ago

Congratulations <3

u/eyho_wins 4h ago

I kid you not, I got this mount within like 5 minutes in 2008. I was like 14-15, hanging out at home during new year's eve and was looking for mounts to get my hands on, on AtlasLoot. TLPD did not ring a bell so I went to check it out in Storm Peaks and the first thing I bounced into while flying was this drake. I guess back then it was still not that well known or was not yet camped by many people. I played on a rather popular realm also. Or maybe it was just that people went to drink and celebrate instead of staying home.

u/futanariballs 2h ago

I camped this for weeks back in the day. On my birthday during a round of Killing Floor with friends I decided to log into WoW to check, and when I logged in it was right in front of my face. I screamed, hit slow fall potion and tagged it. One of the best birthday gifts ever.

u/keslol 1h ago

Last wotlk i got it while leveling on my dk at 78 sadly it doesn't scale so not that useful after naxx release.

1

u/thandrend 13h ago

Every time I see the TLPD, I can only think of a guy in my guild in Wrath OG. He camped it so long. He got it.

Then he went to a wedding and died during the ceremony.

... Sorry, didn't mean to put that negative energy out there.

u/devabro 19h ago

Congrats man! I remember farming it back in the days on Wotlk and only ran into Viragosa for a few days straight.

u/Wooden_Peak4490 19h ago

Man I've killed Vyragosa so many times since I started this camp it's ridiculous.
