they keep designing the game based on the top dogs players
first they started designing affixes like Infested/Beguiling etc just for esport sake, and they don’t care how that affect the reset of the player base
and now started making last raids bosses extremely difficult because of the obvious “World First Race”
or maybe just to make the cheeps buy tokens for boost to get their curve
keep going with this designing path , im pretty sure it will help your game
But then it’s not “super easy” is it?
If it was “super easy”, then surely the casual guilds would clear it with no problems what so ever, wouldn’t they?
My guild is as casual as it gets whilst still having organized raiding 2-3 times a week with a structured team. My guild is 9/12 on Normal and wiped for a night on Heroic Wrathion.
So adjust your definition of “super easy” or your definition of “casual guild”, because one of them seems a bit out of whack with reality.
Tbh , only problem with the raid atm is the trash. After you spend 1 hour and only downed 3 bosses without wiping thats a problem.
Skipped Beguiling but infested was a pretty fun affix and now new affix is pretty good also.
L2p issue , nothing is really too complex and those content you talking about does not effect your gameplay. In fact curve is not something hard to get or clearing a +10 key is not some kinda flex to others.
Bfa raid design only has excessive trash problem . If you find this whole xpacs raid bosses too hard for you , you can always compare it to prev xpacs which was way harder. You weren’t able to see them because no one was streaming progress at that time.
That thing is like %20 dps on single target tho (on havoc), worst part is that’s a multi target second bis and completely broken for tank specs:D They really shouldn’t have released corrupted gear thing
This raid is very well tuned. Normal is IMHO lower than Palace and more for BoD so way more inclusive. Last bosses always were a higher challenge - GulDan, KJ, even Argus.
Mythic N’zoth has nothing to do with Normal. Even HC is a different thing.
You aren’t a mythic raider so why does mythic progression bothers you? Are you salty you didn’t one-shotted final boss of a raid on first or second week?
Sorry but this is not our fault and still we can say, raid is not hard on normal/heroic. Even i, guy without “organized raiding team” or even guild, clear normal really fast and first wipe, we have on Carapace. Now im 6/12 HC all the time with random guys. Shadowlands gonna come really late so i gear up and i think one day with little better gear and people who play more on heroic, gonna get that Curve.
They design the HIGHEST difficulty based on the BEST players. And yes that makes sense. You cant play on said level? There are lower levels of content that are equally good/bad designed.
Infested was never an issue if you had a brain. S2 probably had the easiest +10 affix because those adds didnt do anything noteworthy and got ripped to shreds by the shere amount of AoE in the game. Beguilling also never was a problem, it was annoying at best depenand on the pack combo.
Last raid bosses have ALWAYS been extremely difficult (they have been adapted to the playerbase since ever. Like Hakkar “hardmode” being dubbed the hardest boss during Vanilla. M’Uru/KJ during TBC being called the hardest boss ever. Then LK. Then Ragnaros Heroic njada njada. This is nothing new.
Also the bosses ALWAYS get nerfed after a certain amount of time. So the guilds that are not as good or dont pump as much time into it (there are 2days guilds being better than 3day raiding guilds for instance but they simply lack the progress time because they dont want to set for 3days. Same for 3day guilds to 4 day guilds. Or even the 7day top 100 guilds) also get the kill. Nowadays this is being done after the hall of fames are being filled up (are you complaining about that as well now?)
Oh this is about heroic? Oh lord… HC got pugged week 1. PUGGED. And gear (from dungeons or whereever) are nerfing the fights extremely hard.
Its the same design since classic. Alas its nowadays easier for worse people to achieve something than back in the days, but hey what do i know, i just raided every single tier.
