Well done Aggrend and boiz.
Not only did you release one of the most bug infested (no pun intended) raids ever known to man. But at the same time the affixes are horribly designed.
On trash where you need to stack, you have put a near invisible AoE. Resulting in half the raid dying half the time. And thats on top of an already annoying trash to deal with. Its like the focus was on doubling down on the bad designs from 20 years ago.
Stuff that should despawn inside the raid does not, even when u kill the bosses (Like the suppression room). And Decay is also another crap affix that forces you to spread out non stop.
The chests with loot ? Anyone can take, even tho masterlooter is up. And the enchanting patters cant be traded when taken by accident.
The 2.5 tier gear also gives no Nature Res, yet T2 does… for what ? 1 boss in BWL that did Nature Dmg ? Even the itemization is bad for what the raid is.
Classic =/= Annoying bs. How are these demented devs this bad at their jobs ? I mean rly. They think the playerbase wants to be as annoyed as possible.
Its like they did their absolute best to kill SoD. 20 years iv never see crap this horrible design wise.
Bug Edits:
- Huhuran keeps her Enrage after a low hp wipe.
- Loot does not spawn from kills.
- Bosses/trash gives no rep like it should.
- ML not working properly, anyone can loot chests.
- Cthun keeps spawning back to back to back eyes/tentacles. Some times 3 tents at the same time.
- Hard mode pillars instantly save the raid to the lockout. Ergo you are being prevented from rep farming for the tiers. Or rather its a big risk if Bobby and Tommy have to click the shiny crystal.

+C’thun adds spawn randomly 2, 3 or even 4 at same time. Sometimes they despawn after they spawn even… It happened to us after turning HM off, if that has something to do with it…

Exactly this. Same.
Its such a horribly tuned raid. And on top every single new mechanic is made to annoy and frustrate.
This dev team literally refuses to learn and accept what it is that makes Classic fun.

My calculations don’t make sense when I go
[Ammount of people playing SoD] multiplied by [Subcost] = [a whole bigger ammount then wtf the devs would costs incl servers etc]

the entire raid is literally tuned around people having permament worldbuffs when they a full round costs 200g give or take.
fankriss add spawnrate is through the roof
cthun spawns toomuch in a short time and theres toomuch rng involved that drains numbers and resources.
A harder raid like everyone wanted… well all the tryhards atleast

whatever they do ppl will always complain anyway , didnt encounter a single bug in my aq40 except the chest one
can confirm c’thun (normal) is overturned or bugged for that matter, big eyes aren’t stunnable or CCable the amount of small eyes that spawn is crazy . sometimes two spawn in the same place on top of each other
Not just this. Its bugged. We kept getting back to back eye spawns. And at some points got 3 big tentacles to spawn on top of everything.
On 20% we got a big eye to spawn behind the wall. You could not see it. But it just killed half the raid in 1 beam.
You can still kill it all, but looking at many of the other kills on HM, the spawns were no where near that extreme. I think our lockout was just bugged af.
But in general yes. Just a horrible raid design. They full out double downed on the annoying mechanics.
We effortlessly destroyed all bosses in hardmode but couldn’t get C’thun below 70% even after lowering difficulty to normal. Something’s wrong with that boss in SoD

Oh 100% nothing was hard. It was just annoying with the affixes. They are the big issue here.
And ofc Cthin is very much overtuned. We got him to 20%, it was a kill, and then a God damn big eye tent spawns behind the wall texture and wipes half the raid xD
I actually liked the raid. It was so boring in classic, and I was expecting they gonna make it too easy for sod. But even with the problems (which I hope they will fix) it’s a good raid which you need to do something more then pull-dps-loot 
Start was bad. And maybe it wasn’t even a problem that they used wrong version. But they were silenced, and that was tbh terrible. Some message like “we have problems , and we can’t fix it today” would make a lot of people less annoyed
