Are new raid bosses too complicated?

Yes and I often don’t see diffrence, colorblind mode don’t help me when flor is red, fire is red and good buff is red.

Iv been away for a long time prior to 8.2, my personal view is that lfr and normal are too complex.

I think that blizzard seems to have forgotten how to build a difficulty curve. It seems fine for mythic to be complex and hard, heroic should be less so and the target for normal players interested in progression but normal really should not be too complex as it’s the entry point. Any complexity in lfr which is basically story mode seems nonsensical.

They are far too complex. Often than not they are just too boring and people have gotten condition to not care about anything for the queue able content. combined with the party size being a mess to keep organized, LFR should be cut down to 10 players.

Personally thing that obviously avoidable mechanics such as Vexionas flying attack should deal the same amount of damage across the board so that players aren’t conditioned into not taking those mechanics seriously.

Its one of my problems on modern wow for about 10 years it was constant yelling and blaming DON’T STAND IN THE ******* FIRE and at some point the mechanics changed for some bosses that you do have to stand on crap on the ground and what is worse on some bosses there have been both things.

I get that lot of people like raiding but when blizzard started to add so much mechanics to fights especially those where 1 person out of 25 can cause a wipe i basically stopped raiding.

Also what i hate the most about modern raids are the trash with stupid amount of health and more mechanics than pre mop raid bosses. Generally modern raids after wod have had way too much trash in them.

Definetly, in the recent raids i have ended up being sleepy waiting for the raid to reach the next boss… And if there is a mob that might wipe the raid it’s usually because it just keeps spamming a wide aoe attack.

Least dungeons don’t have this issue since the packs are quicker to kill and at least have some kind of mechanic you got to deal with.

Mega challenge cc the shades and kill them a bit later while focusing the dogs.

1st dog: soak!

2nd dog: cc shades kill them later

3rd dog: dont let your area in the middle of the run!

And yes, you have to dodge one big arrow from time to time, but thats it.

For tanks is harder though, but most people dont play it anyways.

But this is just lfr mechanic please explain me heroic one :smiley:

Yea dungeons are ok but trash in raids is just insane on some raids its like they are trying to recreate AQ 40 experience.

I stopped doing uldir in bfa because there was just too much trash to blow through before each bosses especially Zul its just too much and too boring to clear all that crap.

So you made an entire thread about almost quitting?

LFR N’zoth was dumbed down, just not enough for LFR brains who only hit one button on their action bar.

This. The silly mechanics of a raid are like playing a bullet hell game and not about playing your class role at all. We all chose a class to play and then just play the raid mechanic and not our class mechanics! The class mechanics have all lost that which makes each class feel unique too with everyone have similar tools now.

WoW moving into esports and therefore all classes homoginsed killed the RPG side of WoW and it should be referred to as just an MMO nowadays and not an MMORPG.

No. The ‘almost’ was referring to ‘my played time is almost over’.

Insulting players who play LFR. Classy.

Well making a comment about raid complexity from LFR perspective makes little sense don’t you think? You can clear that with screen turned off.

As much I would try to be respectful towards people who raid LFR.
Once tried doing LFR on my alt for that kill nzoth quest thingy cause I missed the guild weekly clear.


After 1 hour of trying felt like swallowing a cactus would have been more enjoyable. While having root canal without anesthesia.

I’ll tell you the issue with raid bosses. They’re not trying to kill you, they just put stuff on you and make you do some sort of minigame or a puzzle, they actively casts skills that exist only to counter their other skills. It’s garbage. Also every room is a giant empty circle or square with nothing in it
