Because right now all classic bosses are not working properly. You can ignore all mechanics because of this patch.
Classic bosses are simple, but that’s fine. A lot of people prefer that over the circus bosses in retail. They were still fun. Depending on tuning you can still wipe on Magmadar. In vanilla my guild struggled at the start on him, because healers went out of mana because of all the tank damage. Now it’s a 20 second fight.
So more damage and health would make them work properly again, not turn them in boring 15 minute fights. But in the end it’s kinda pointless to even talk about, nothing will change and it wouldn’t even make sense at this point.
Which part of “but retail’s gameplay sucks” did you miss, from my post above? People don’t just want challenging raids, they want challenging raids but with an enjoyable gameplay experience.
If you compare Retail with Vanilla, yeah sure. But there’re plenty of bosses in TBC and especially WotLK that are about as mechanically complex as Retail ones. Sure, they’re already known and “solved” so they will never pose the same challenge a brand new raid would do, but as I said that’s a price to pay for being able to play an enjoyable game.
Maybe for you - I personally find bosses such as Magmadar boring as hell. The entirety of MC is a boring uneventful slog. Making those encounters last longer wouldn’t make the fight “fun”, it would just make the slog even longer. That’s why I said “if you want to make encounters harder, make them mechanically harder, instead of just adding HP/damage”.
If you’re finding classic raids boring and you want challenging raids… retail is there.
At the end of the day, even if you wanted challenging bosses, classic wasn’t there for the “challenging raids” and was said so from the start.
So I don’t see why you keep crying about it.
I thought everyone wanted classic for the “leveling” experience…?
Not the “challenging raids” that everyone thought vanilla was lol…
What exactly can you change about classic though?
More damage/health? - No, you’d have to rework the entire raids in order to make them challenging.
The classes on retail are more fun for myself, but the issue is the other part - E:G > Corruption > the abilities on the gear is what made me quit retail.
But we’re not talking about TBC/Wotlk, we’re not about classic… and only classic.
I’m looking forward to TBC/Wotlk myself, if they get released… but these people are crying about CLASSIC raids being “too easy”
You aren’t going to get a challenging in “classic” that people are hoping for…
That’s true, but I’d rather wait a couple years for TBC/WotLK than subject myself to the torment that is Retail^^ As I said before, new raids are all good and all, but I need to be able to enjoy the game first
Yup, but it’s currently the people whining and saying how easy it is and why it should be easier.
Not sure what they expect, when the game is min-maxed to death.
Just few people on the forums. It doesn’t even hit reddit main page.
Some are offended that right now leveling zones aren’t full of people. Some are offended that few others speedrun raids, some are offended that others don’t play the game as they want them to and in the end some are offended that retail/non-vanilla players when playing classic don’t cry about how hard classic is vs retail and have more gold than the poster.
