Don't release ICC Buff too early!

Beat me to it lmfao

Miles too early.

For majority of raids I attend right now, 9-10 bosses already feel undertuned with gear, yet they might have had one night on LK HM so far, if that.

Either apply this nerf only to LK, or give people a reason to do 11 bosses on 0% post-buff.

Why am I gunna keep paying for 6 months in ICC if it’s nerfed for most of them?

Seriously, what is the point of this buff? The majority of guilds is still progressing and this will suck the sense of achievement out of their kills.

For the hardcore guilds it will make speedruns such a faceroll, sucking the fun out of the game.

Normal mode is there for a reason if you don’t want to put the time and effort to kill Lich King heroic. Wotlk is RIP with this buff.

So dad gamers can get full BIS while only playing for an hour on the weekend.

At least make it more rewarding for people that kills a boss without the buff. Maybe an additional item drop and +1 emblem for each boss.

Why are people upset about the buff? It gets easier the more time passes anyway. Even without the buff, lk 25hc kills would be worthless if every single player in the grp runs around with 6.5k+ gs, so you either are decent enough to kill the lk right now, or you arent.
The buff doesnt devaluate the content more than the alrdy excisting gear progression week by week.

Or make what they did with Ulduar, boost the ilvl on items who down him without the nerf to make more players aim for that could work too

My guild is clearing 12/12hc in roughly 3 hours. We one shot most bosses but it still is somewhat challenging, ie can’t fail mechanics or slack on dps.

I’m upset because this buff will turn ICC into a snoozefest.

People crying like madman like this buff is unchangeable.

Guilds who want to progress without it, CAN.TURN.IT.OFF.

Those who want buff can keep it.

Jesus some people.

You guys don’t want challenge, you want exclusivity. Any mediocre player who can pour 3 or more raid nights a week into ICC (and PTR) will have gotten it by muscle memory alone by now.
As a 4h/week dad raider, I am very much looking forward to this. And I don’t even care about BiS or achievement or Invisible horse. I’m just looking forward to not worrying about getting first mark on a squishy cloth and wiping, about getting vortex under healer who is tunnelvisioning his grid and wiping, about iceblock killing a healer with unchained at 10% Sindra health and wiping after 11minutes of fighting.
The fact is whoever deserved a 0% LK25HC kill have gotten it by now. You can disable the buff and keep trying, but we both know you won’t :wink:

man this makes me want to quit playing classic expansions
 WAY too early
 what the F are you guys thinking??

we really dont care if its optional or not
 the grind is already almost gone in wotlk classic and this just removes it solely
 really bad decision - from a player who used to raid wotlk 5 times a week and grinded hard for the kill
 you are removing prestige yet again bye

just go watch youtube kills of the kills you desire if u dontwant/cant put the time in, or play retail or maybe another game
 this is wotlk >CLASSIC< retail


you have time to have 1197 posts in this forum
 then u should have time to get kills in game aswell without “cheats” unless ur just not good enough, and thats fair

The fact that this buff coming soon annoys all the right elitists is probably the best thing about it.

Your opinion on this is mostly irrelevant, this game was not made for you, it was made for me.

Why is everyone complaining about this being to early? We are already at Week 6. 9 when 5% drops and 19 when we get 30%
Each Classic Phase was about 3 Months (except Ulduar) and we still have Phase 5 which must also have its Time.
Also there are only 7.5 Months left until Cata comes out. And who knows how long the PrePatch Phase/Event will be.
So the Timing is just right.

and what of those guilds that have members that are split? This causes unnecessary grief. I would honestly rather have seen them implement looking for raid. That way, “everyone can “”“Experience””" the content".

Using ridiculous amounts of quotation marks to highlight what on earth “experience the content” even means. It was apparently a problem that too few got to see the end game of TBC. I never got into SWP but I didn’t see it as a failure, personally. I think it is more fun to have something to strive towards rather than repeating a monotonous farm every week.

Easier with time due to gear is called progression. Having a buff is just plain nerfing the content.

My raid team raid 2 times a week with 2 diff raids. So in reality we only have 1 raid-night per character. We are 10/12 atm with both groups. Both raids have 4h raiding per week.

I see no reason what so ever to put in this nerf unless they are going to release Cataclysm in like January. The raid will become the most boring garbage we have ever seen in classic so far.
