Never I hope.

I know blizzard went too fair but what people did with Fractillus boss was disgusting.

“Place 6 marks on the floor and the weakaura will automatically put a mark in your head so move to the spot marked with your color.”

And before people come say, but you needed to move so isn’t automation… The WA was doing all of the compute of people and position.

You could do without the WA you could! Did most pugs/guild did without it? The ones I joined no. After all why refuse the easy way…

So randomly assigning a position is bad when thats been a mechnic prob 100s of times?

When the WA makes the calculation on how many walls there in a spot and if you can or not go there and auto assign to a free one, isn’t really random.

It removed the need of people to look behind, find a free spot where to dump, to communicate for 2 guys don’t dump in same spot, to chose wich walls to destroy or not.

I’m sorry but that WA removed all fight mechanics.

Clearly you dont remember pre-addon raiding :smiley: It was so clumsy and fun :smiley:

I did play some WOTLk without addons, I personally enjoyed it at that time.

7

meh there was plenty other things to keep track of in that fight

Like what?

plenty of walls :stuck_out_tongue:

10

you mean the ones where the WA marks your head where to put it <.<
That you didn’t needed to even track since WA knew where you would or not reach the limit.

One popular addon author just gave heads up today that more of this addons features are going to be broken in 12.0.5. Now they are breaking party cd in next patch so its even harder to heal in shuffles if we cant see what they have. All of this should be in default game ofc so some player wouldnt have to make addon to see their partys cds.

We dont even have precog in the games cooldownmanager and they bloated game with cc, and made playing healer and any caster dependant on precog.

If they want there to be healers in uncoordinated soloq modes then they should make the game readable for healers so we can play the game without coodination and not overlap cds and it becomes boring with less skill expression and control over outcome.

I rather have 1 boss like this (which most people couldn’t kill anyway lol) than the current situation.

Agree
People forgot how to use that anxiety organ in their skull
Re-learning actually do them some good

Also it is hilarious to see Tanks struggle with Tic-Tac-Toe or majority of the players can’t tell the difference between blue and yellow… THAT is how deep the constant reliance on adfons dragged us!
But it is in human nature to adapt and evolve - the alternative is to follow the dodo

I made my group wipe on LFR but truth to be told, I didn’t knew the boss tatics.. so didn’t knew was Tic-Tac-Toe

I do love DPS enrolling as a tank and are entirely clueless, for the sake of skipping the queue but end up wasting everyone’s time.

They can’t dodge the responsibility.. like the healers who switch to dps…

The bosses didn’t have insane mechanics you had to track the same way back then.

My wishlist of add-ons they’d allow back:

  1. Scrolling battle text add-ons
  2. Player frames add-ons
  3. Combat log add-ons (recount/details) until they manage to properly develop and tune their own.
  4. RSA
  5. Heal add-ons (Healbot, Clique, …) Vuhdo is working for me, but I don’t want my fellow healers their cries of anguish to fall into deaf ears.

This is why these days will never return. Also people got used to insane mechanic, and game lost it’s magic somewhere in between.

But it becomes a problem when blizzard changes their mind quicker then me changing socks in a week .

Without long term consistency and clear path ahead they will again fall into shadowlands trap .
