When will old raids be changed to it is all soloable, so many old raids cant be soloed simply due to the mechanic of the fight, it doesnt matter that u can kill the bosses solo just the mechanics wont allow it, this needs to change seeing as from a loot perspective they are useless now anyway and its really messing with us getting our Tmogs.

I believe most of them have been changed, I solo old raids often. Which ones are still not soloable?
Some Legion and all of BfA raids.
If I recall right, deathwing and his scales was pretty annoying. I stopped trying that one. Like just let me blow those scales off without that weird mechanic and running side to side constantly.

you can just stand in the tentacle hole and afk until you have enough mobs to explode the scale, no need to run

A lot of Legion raids were being solo’d last expac. BFA probably won’t be soloable until 9.3 for most classes.
I soloed most of the Legion raids towards the end of BFA and can’t remember any particular problems. It was actually harder to do them with a friend for some reason.
However, like Yorda, I’ve never been able to beat Spine of Deathwing or whatever it’s called.
I’m quite curious about this too. I can’t remember not being able to solo a boss due to mechanics. I know that Legion and BfA aren’t really soloable atm, but as far as I know it is due to the level squish and BfA not being legacy content yet.

Spine is not too bad once you get the hang of it. Run left to right constantly, kites adds that leave lava pools to a specific spot (near to the scale) and when ready kill the add that absorbs them to remove the scale then you can 1 shot the orb and move on. took me a few attempts but got it down in the end
A solo mode for older content would be quite interesting if it offered new level designs and incentives.
I’m fine just bull-dozing through things for cosmetic stuff I want.
On my pally i had no chance on Eonar fight in antorus, i cant be everywhere at once.
I run old raids all the time, mount reason or tmog reasons.
I have never had any problems with any raids until the level squish. Since the squish I have been unable to do anything after Mythic Nighthold.
But since last week that has become impossible too, don’t know what happened.
I run them on lvl 50 chars only.
(People having issues with death wing. Do as someone has suggested, just wait until you have enough blobs, just make sure the thing explodes very close to the scale.)
It’s absolutely beatable, just give it a little practice. It’s annoying, but you get used to it (and after that you become more annoyed with that dragon event prior to Ultraxion which takes so long).
On topic, most bosses have indeed been made soloable, but a lot of the achievements haven’t been. Ie, the first raid in MoP contains tons of stuff which require a group. It’s not that those achievements are any difficult, it’s just that you cannot ever solo them because the requirement is plain to have X people. I’d really like them to change the criteria on those achievements to make them soloable.

Asking for mechanics being removed, and asking for them to be soloable are two different things.
I haven’t tried Bfa ones, but I did solo all Legion raids the previous week with a level 50 rogue (item level 102). Some normal, some heroic. Haven’t done all Antorus yet, need to read some mechanics on that, but it’s doable.
Before Legion I believe everything is soloable, did almost all old raids since Shadowlands went online.
Hey man, did you try them this week? with your lvl 50?
Something was really off this week I was struggling to do any of the legion this week.
Last week was fine.
Ye spine is not hard once you get the hang of it. Downloading DBM for legacy content helps a lot, as it tells you exactly how much time you have until the boss rolls over.
Dragon Soul contains something much worse than Spine and that is a ton of unskippable RP. And the ultraxion trash event that is pretty much a part of it.
Still better than Siege of Orgrimmar, by far the worst raid to solo-farm. Holy crap, this has everything.
-Very large instance, long travel distances, half of this is indoors unmounted
-3 very annoying, LONG lasting bosses (Immerseus, Galakras, Spoils of Pandaria)
-No skips of any kind. Any raid starting from Blackrock Foundry had a quest for a skip (defeat boss 4 times to enable it)
-Long RP events, including 2 minute one on Garrosh. Unskippable ofc.
No I haven’t this week, have been doing Pandaria. But looking through my raiding achievements I have completed every raid before Bfa (except Baradin Hold - here I come!)
I have never raided except some Lfr, so it was all done solo in later expansions, which means that all old raids are soloable. Have never really had a high item level, nor was I heavily into studying mechanics, so anyone could do it.
Hope this last weeks squish didn’t mess it up.
Hmm, if you do run it could you please let me know if it was harder or not?
I have a feeling blizzard has secretly changed something in the past week.
