Hi.
Asmon said one good point in his stream few days ago.
“Why there is raid id’s in SoD?”
Dungeons are easy like they always have been, and these “raids” are fully cleared in 30 mins - 1h.
And then we have to wait 3 days, it’s just stupid.
Doing a same with alts too, then of course you have to wait 3 days too.
IMO Blizzard should remove these restrictions away from SoD.
I don’t see any good reasons for any restrictions because SoD is literally just seasonal anyway.
What you think about this?
Stopped reading there.
Because they’re made into Raids from Dungeons and even then got boosted from a 7 day regular raid lockout to a 3 day one to encourage more raiding done but to preserve the raiding identity.
It’s not meant to be a dungeon you can do on repeat in the same day on the same toon or they would’ve not had a limit in the first place.
Imagine the amount of whining we’d have then by people QQing that theres no content after raiding for a day or two nonstop and got all the gear they needed. Its a necessary timegate. But the concept of raid IDs can be improved to help with the pugging experience and finding groups. The culture of requirements has become incredibly cancerous
Well… I have played WoW since 2005.
I’m not asking the door openings for exploiting, not at all.
We are talking about the old game with some steroids, and people want to play the game.
It is stupid to wait three days that you can spend one more hour in that that place.
Getting a better gear faster is not a bad idea.
Because if they made em dungeons we would clear it in few days, get bis geared and leave sod. They have to timegate content cause there is no real content
Because it’s like this in Vanilla, Season of Mastery, Hardcore, SSF, BC and WOTLK and soon Cataclysm ?
Why would this change in SoD ? Because some bozos can’t clear 6/6 in pugs ? I did the last 2 bosses with 9 random in pugs, you don’t even need 10 man lmao.
And no, Gnomeregan isn’t a dungeon but a raid, so it’s not infinitely replayable otherwise everyone would quit 1 week after phase release because nothing to do anymore you are all fully geared. 3 days lockout is more than fine.
First time I support Shmirgel post.
More like people cant find raids with certain classes/speccs?
Using a diffrent lockoutsystem might help out (atleast with gatekeeping/eliteism) but could also introduce new problems such as getting kicked more often because your more easily replaceable.
People arent struggeling cause of elitism, they are struggeling cause they are insisting on raiding purely trough pickup groups, and are shocked when pretty much every group have already filled up their melee quota before the raid went to the LFG chat.
(Yes i singled out melee players cause those are the loudest ones on the forums)
Joining a guild or finding a group of players to play with on a regular basis is how you fix gatekeeping, not by removing raid lockouts thua causing a huge chunk of players to be completly done with a phase in 1-2 weeks then leaving the game.
Getting better gear faster is a bad idea if there’s no content to use said gear. What you going to do with full BiS?
That can happen with, or without lockouts.
