Not having the dexterity of younger players, and losing more money than I would like repairing my armour, I decided to enter the instance wearing no armour at all. This way I can endlessly attempt the first part and die as many times as I want without having to worry about costly repairs.
The first time I died, I was resurrected at a spawn point on the OTHER side of the chasm, thereby skipping the entire part where the wind blows.
Does no armour = all armour broken = you suck, so we’ll give you a break and advance you? If so, then this should be changed. Players should still have to actually manually do all parts of this storyline, but not be put in a position that can waste a lot of money on costly armour repairs.
