On Feb. 27 we got the information that MC will be 20 and 40man raid.
We also got the information that Flex-Raids are not coming.
Blizzard also said that they don’t have the resources to convert all Raids to 20man Raids and be able to add new stuff. So the plan was to just convert MC to 20man raid
Now we have a 20man MC Raid and a 40man or less Ony Raid (whatever that means).
What is going on and what are the plans for Raid-size?
We already noticed that it was hard for guilds to go from 10man raids to 20.
As a GM I want to know what Blizzard thoughts are specially regarding their previous statements in this regard. Should we prepare 2x 20man Raids to be prepared for 40man BWL/AQ/Naxx?
It’s really hard and takes much effort to keep communites going and i think it’s just fair to get information from blizzard.
If blizzards would say they don’t know atm that would be fine too for me… Any information would be good information but i feel that we will just know when it happens. They plans might change for every Raid which really sucks and i feel disrespected as someone who wants to keep a guild alive and prepare them for whats coming.
They said that they want to respect our time with SoD but honestly it doesn’t feels like it.
I know if you are just a member or raider this might not be a thing that interests you but for those who run communites and guild its a big deal.
If you prep 2x20 man raids with 2 of the tanks mainly being OT then you will be fine no matter what right?
spoiler: onyxia was always doable with less than 20 people.
the 40 man size is just a staple… people have 3 manned this boss in vanilla classic FYI.
as long as the players know how to do the mechanics (avoid fire waves, deal with fear on tank) its all about how you manage your resources (mana) to keep the tank alive so the 1-2 dpsers can slowly wittle her down.
with all the new anti-fear mechanics that exist in SOD this should be a piece of cake.
Sure but my point is all the work which goes in in keeping two 20 man raids alive and working.
We can’t just fill it up with twinks since then we are missing players.
We need two raid leader.
We need both raiders to be able to raid on both days.
We need enough players for times like these were the realms are almost dead.
I mean its okay to commit all the effort to keep those raids running but what if it’s all for nothing?
I know plenty of ways to spend my time better than to keep those two raids running specially if blizzard will say that there will be no 40 man raids.
Season of Discovery shouldn’t be discovery in regards to what raid size we should adjust for.

yeah well, this is just one of those issues that happen when you decide to mess with the raid sizes.
blizzard should have stuck to 40 mans and made 0 compromises and we wouldn’t have to deal with this crap outside of the catchup raid that is ZG, which is 25-man.
oh well, guess its on the players to solve this problem now.
the playerbase cried for 20 man size (some even went as far as demanding 10 man raids like BRO LMAO) and they got what they wanted, so good luck i guess.
none of these problems would have happened if blizzard sticked to the formula that has been used for 20 years in classic wow, but instead they wanted to be cute and make 10 man training wheel raids which caused some players to grow complacent and now anything above 10 man size is the end of the world.
what a joke.
