BLIZZARD Why scale up old raid content?!

The last month i’ve been able to solo any and all raid content up to and including Castle Nathria Mythic without a problem, and now all of a sudden blizzard decided to make the content off limits by buffing ALL the mobs/bosses hp to the point where i couldn’t even get Hungering Destroyer to 50% before me AND a teammate bled out and died, despite having higher individual dps now AND a teammate pulling another 600k dps on the boss.

These changes are plainly stupid to introduce and does nothing but cause friction and discontent in the playerbase for absolutely NO REASON at all, There is literally no upside at all to these changes and they should be reverted immidiately as they only serve to piss of and hold players back from things they want to do.

I miss the old blizzard over this modern “overdesign it to hell just for the sake of justifying our paychecks” blizzard.

This is nothing blizzard purpousfully did, this is “just” messed up scaling mechanics, which happen every expansion launch.
How long it will take to get fixed? That could take a while.

Calm down, jesus kids…they will fix it sooner or later, calm down…

Calling them kids will actually probably make them more mad as its very condescending, show a little empathy and understanding patch days are for the majority
frustrating at time’s.

Aren’t those raids awakened now too?

I am assuming this is the reason why. Self Sustain and Survivability has been reduced. With the increased Boss HP and dmg in BFA and SL Raids AND the decrease in Self Sustain and Survivability, you will just die.
My ilvl 502 BM hunter farming Sanctum Gloomcharger’s Reins in Sanctum of domination on LFR, Normal and Heroic with ease, can’t even kill the 1st Boss ( The Tarragrue) on LFR.
Before anything will change, you will have reached lvl 80, which will not be possible before end of August.
Solo content, Open World and farming old content, will be more difficult, because of the healing issues of tanks in group content, as stated in the blue post.
So because of tank issues, dps has their self sustain and survivability nerfed so much, that BFA Raids cant be done solo. BFA was released 14. August 2018, so almost 6 years later we cant solo stuff, because of Tank issues and making healing feel more important.
I get the problem, but not everyone does mythic raids and high mythic + dungeons.

only DF Raids are awakened, old Raids are not awakened

There was a bug at start of season 4 that turned some of the SL raids into “awakened”.

Been doing sanctum on lfr since April of this year and haven’t realy noticed any big changes up to yesterday.
Been doing lfr with about 20 char, but now cant kill the first boss. Leech has been nerved, more dmg of the boss and more hp so I simply die before I can kill the 1st boss.
The reason is the changes due to the tank problem blizz tried to fix, nothing to do with awakening raids, or because the world is scaling differently, cause 80 is max level.
They want healers do be more important, so decresing the survivability is the way they want to do it.

Is that not the point?

Just because someone plays on AD doesn’t mean anything, I allow people to disagree with me, or agree, doesn’t affect me, I call some people kids, you’re no better lol I see you in every forum whining or complaining, Me reason being on AD: Good PVE guilds, I don’t RP, realm has nothing to do with a person’s persona, so sorry you have that mindset :slight_smile:

it’s an unintentional mess that they’ll fix in 2 months

I think because we will be lvl 80 later in The War Within so we can solo easy then maybe? Gonna try any old raid when I can. :slightly_smiling_face:

No shouldn’t be. You have rhe option to activate the old affixes tho i think

Calm down, jesus kids…they will fix it sooner or later, calm down…

Going around telling people to “care less” because you don’t care is peak narcissism, Just because you don’t care about it doesn’t force you to insert yourself to make that claim in a discussion where others do care.

Thing is: It’s always the same stuff. Complaints are frustrating too. Show a little empathy for the people who are tired of complainers. :sweat_smile:

No this has nothing to do with the tanking re-balancing/nerfs lol, the whole “tanks should need healers” etc from that entire update is in regards to CURRENT and UPCOMING Content, has nothing at all to do with old outdated content being HP buffed to hell, They intentionally buffed the HP of SL and BFA content, saying “eeeh you’ll be able to do it again later” is a nonsense reply when my complaint is i was just doing it UP TIL NOW without a problem on mythic and they decided to take it away for no reason what so ever. Also i’ve been doing it as dps classes, so again those changes has 0 impact on what the issue is about.

There has been no justifications provided neither by them or any commenter so far about the issue, people only pull the “care less” standard reply that fills every thread. People keep defending bad changes and running interference for Blizzard instead of try to assist in getting bad changes removed and positive changes pushed through.

WoW is generally tuned for expansion buyers.
Casually waving a P2P / P2W flag around, trying to parry some arrows, bullets and darts.
People want power creep and this is just a barely avoidable side effect.
Basically it’s the same as trying to farm raids a month ago at 60.

I just cleared the first 3 bosses on LFR on my season 3 485ilvl bm hunter and yes the healthbars were higher but still it was a joke with zero issues. you must be doing something wrong if you cant get past first boss
