totally agree with ur and asmons points about difficulty in sod, 1 difficulty (being not that difficult for veteran wow players) is what made classic so amazing
pretty sad they going the retail route of catering to the elite/top 1% of players, with every raid being harder than the last, BFD was perfect difficulty, gnomer was a bit too hard for pug scene, and ST on launch was a joke
Isn't this an attempt at catering for everyone? I'd assume base difficulty for MC will be much easier than ST was, and the 2nd and 3rd difficulties ramped up for the sweats? I'm assuming loot would be the same for all three difficulties
@@Mcyugor yes if it is how you assume that loot is the same for all 3 difficulties, but i doubt that is how it will go. the higher difficulties will prob give better stuff making it really only cater to the people doing the hardest difficulty getting the best rewards, so they can flex their skill at a video game, exacerbating the gatekeeping and toxic pug environment
I started sod in p2 and seen one of your videos and honestly your intros got on my nerves. I’d be like will this guy stfu and get on to the point of the video. I’d like to admit that I was wrong. The intros have grown on me and I can’t help but smile now every time. Lock it in.
Whats up brother! Fellow Paladin out here. Sad they removing that Art of War Instant cooldown on crit. I was spamming excorcism the other day in ST, never hit so many crits in a row in my life. DPS was INSANE.
For world bosses: Im cool with it in modern times. Open world bosses are a cool concept in a world where your population doesnt get off on griefing people and when the pops were like 2500 max not 4K+. For raid difficulties: This could be the classic (and SOM style) of flex raiding perhaps? If difficulty 1 is doable by competent 10mans and casual pug 20s and goes up from there could be big. I love the do the attune once thing. It just drives home Blizzards seemingly new direction of us the player being the one who does the thing. Account wide stuff kicks ass.
I'm happy about the world bosses being instanced as the servers are just to big and layered to make OG world bosses work. More Ony type content! Stoked! As for MC difficulties, I feel they do this backwards. They should make MC hard, then add in quests over time that make it easier. Ring of Rag slaying, Cloak of Flame protection, etc... This would allow the tryhards to go in early and allow more casuals to work their way to getting over "Hard" mechanics.
I think the hard modes are probably ptr testing of the hard modes. However if they aren’t, it’s probably something where normal will be easier for pugs and there will be incentive to just gear faster with more loot to drop in the harder modes. Maybe the first hard mode +1 loot drop per boss second +2 third +3 ??
If the upgraded dificulty levels don't offer different gear, I see no issue with them whatsoever. Even if they do, it's honestly minimally disappointing. I know some people are stuck on what Classic WAS but this isn't that anymore and we aren't even the same players anymore. In this day and age of Retail our brains are now hardwired to deal with more complex mechanics beyond anything that existed in Vanilla. It's human nature to seek out more challenging things.And we have resources that never existed back then, like RU-vid. If neckbeards wanna neckbeard, I say let em live it up!
love instanced world bosses, it was always a scuffed/terrible experience on modern wow (2019 classic): the sweaty guilds would just have some guys scout it for hours or even days at a time. and on pvp servers, it gets even worse where its just a number game, can you bring more people than anyone else at the time that the boss is alive, then just zerg the people fighting in, and steal tag and kill. the bosses have cool mechanics and good loot so i think instanced is the way to go even if it does remove that awesome RPG-esque surprise encounter of seeing giant blue dragon azuregos roaming azshara or kazzak in southern blasted lands like king of the demons. but in modern wow, too many know about these spawns, their spawn timers, and the valuable loot so they just get scouted/camped and killed within 20 minutes of their spawn anyway.
I haven’t played in about 2 months now, but… Looking back on SoD I can say that I did have some quasi-neoclassic experiences and memories that I’m thankful for. It was upsetting to me that they took out grinds, though, because those grinds that keep you active longer help to expand that magic and stretch it out. I’m not for removing the journey, even if that journey is a ridiculous grind that only 10% of players achieve.
Blackrock mountain was always destined to be a PvP area at high level, so it makes sense for there.. at least they didn’t put it in the plaguelands where ganking will still be bad just going to the dungeons and argent dawn stuff there.. hopefully I’m not too late in on the season but I gotta farm that $$$
There’s nothing wrong with the harder difficulty raids as long as they don’t drop higher item level gear because then people will feel left out. Make it just drop more gear pieces . Or maybe a title like Conquerer of Ragnaros if you beat Molten core .
Come on dude Paladins don't shower the slightest water touches their skin in a PVE scenario and they bubble right out of that shit, they must stink under all that armour XD
Just season of discovered your content yesterday, love the videos mate (even though you are a rat pally main 😅😅). Lock it in and keep up the good work!
Good content and energy man! I have many friends on different realms. I’d so most players are casual with a little hardcore form time to time. Most want smaller raids and obtainable content. HATE if they put gear behind a difficulty wall. Please make runes alt friendly !
I'm not sure if you do a final review before you lock in the final video?, but I keep seeing a recurring theme where you mentioned something to the editor but they don't seem to cut it out, if you're paying that person, you may want to reconsider.
For world bosses, I think it's good to make it instanced. The guild coalitions and gatekeeping nature of how world bosses were first designed can be interesting, but quite a toxic meta of gameplay with guilds griefing each other, alliance/horde grouping up, etc. On the other hand, it's also very interesting and socially emergent gameplay. I think they should find a happy medium or balance of the old with the new. One thing I think they should keep is the more random and sporadic nature of these world bosses. The bosses shouldn't be available all the time. Usually they one spawn randomly, typically once a week. Now, when we consider layers who knows. I think it would be cool if a boss would spawn once or twice a week for a some period of time, maybe 3 hour window, 6, 12 or 24 hours, and people can go and kill the boss, until the next spawn. Then cycle to another boss. Maybe people should still be on the lookout but I think it'll become something nova WB addon will just start announcing. I hope the harder difficulty is just more loot drops, not better loot. I don't want that. I think it would be cool if those heat difficulties automatically disable world buffs. That they are designed and balanced for no world buffs and meant to be a challenge. Where regular MC should be balanced as something fairly easy but without assuming you have world buffs, thus when you have world buffs it makes it even easier. I hope they figure out something about world buffs and raiding, a mode for them to persist through death, refresh world buff durations, or even this npc to sell you some world buffs. Then the harder modes with no world buffs. I'd rather not have multiple difficulties, but instead different content. So instead of making MC hard, make a new hard 10 man dungeon/raid for those people who want more challenge
Well duh, they're going to do that regardless. I wish it could be, but they're just going to make an instanced version of the world. Would be cool though if they make them instanced raids with an extra boss. Either way yea they're going to be like Ony@@josipmarasovic2436
Ah, the Arctis Pro? Fine choice. Can’t say Sonar works, but beyond that I love em. They’re the reason I can play with sound from my gaming PC while I work from home on a Mac.
I hope Blackrock event supports LARGE SCALE WORLD PVP. STV being limited made sense but it's gone on for too long. Sure Ashenvale still exists but at a certain point you're just gonna be done with the event.
I’m more of a casual myself but my friends are on the other side and they want the harder content and funny enough myself included even as a casual. Those options benefit everyone. As a casual you can’t complain about harder content cause you have to remember both sides need to have fun. Why pigeon hold one side for the other side, no side likes that.
except the ppl that want harder content can just play the version of game with hard content, retail. classic was great because its 1 difficulty where you only need 5 ppl that know strat and u can have 20+ players that are dad games who can afk mid fight/not know fights/not simming gear for upgrades and optimal rotation and still clear the whole raid
@@nick11925 you do get your easy mode. So those players should be happy. Also, the better players get a hard mode so everyone gets something. So what are we talking about here? Sounds like you just want what you want and don’t care for what others want… very nice. Grow up.
@@dcepshn if this was a single player game id be all for harder difficulty modes, its just not fun having to wait for the 20th or 40th stupidest/slowest learner in the raid to get the mechanics down and execute it correctly, it literally creates and reinforces a toxic elitist and gatekeeping environment. if thats the community u want, have at it, but i think ill prob just play something else
@@nick11925 have you thought about the logic behind this? How will easier raids avoid that? No matter how easy they are there will be players who have a hard time. Gamers don’t overcome challenges anymore they just keep complaining about it till it gets easier and easier and even then it’s hard for people. Elitist will always exist due to parsing. Easy or hard raid it doesn’t matter because you still need a full team of good players to compete with parsing, so in the end that will always exist. The outcome with easier raids that everyone can do will be a zero mechanic fight and a boss that does no dmg and with this you lose a huge portion of the player base. If there are multiple versions of the raid you then can satisfy everyone or at least a bigger portion of the player base. You tell me how to fix the issue you seem to have and really think about it first before you answer.
For difficulty I am glad there is room for noobs and for pros. This will make it for the majority of players to not complain. Sure this will split us but it's OK because people will tend to sweat or just relax.
Blizzard should reconsider server transfers. I rgret starting toons on a pvp server, as this is by far the worst experiance ever. My toons are lvl 50 and rank 7- i dont want to grind this again on another server, I just want to leave the toxic pvp servers behind and move to a pve server and enjoy my limited game time in peace and not get ganked by no lifer horde groups all the fkn time... or at least they should make pvp on/off work.. when my pvp is off, then I want it, that really noone can ever attack me ever, no matter where I am!
So is molten core still gonna be 20 man with still 2 levels of hard mode? Either way I think I blew a compacitor on my mobo so I haven’t been able to play 😢
Bring the thunda brotha! Alright I got a few things to say, settle down. 1. Yeah account wide attunement 100%. 2. Recycling raids with having Multiple difficulty’s is not for me. It’s lazy and I don’t like the feel of the game when it gets like this, personally I think the only good recycled content is 5man mythic keystones. 3. Lockout the doomers!! Enough is enough with people dooming so hard!! Man blizzard has put out a great product with THE MOST potential in any iteration of wow. But man I quit in cata because they gave us 4 difficulty’s in the same raid ( it’s cringe ) in my humble opinion. We need a TBC structure to raiding, 10man unique content, and 25man unique content. Sprinkle in some 5man mythic keystone style content and we’re in a winning space for wow raiding. 4. LETS GO WITH THIS BLACKROCK EVENT!!! It’s gonna be juicy and I’m hyped for it. Lock it in brother, lockout the doomers. Let’s keep the ret dream alive, we’re so close to really being online. Cheers mate🎉🎉❤❤
About your second point I do agree with you on some basis. My take on it is it could be possible that they can't do it since it's not possible with the Classic engine, TBC had a different Framework so they could do it
@@zerodas3293 that’s totally understandable if it is the case. However I’m pretty happy with all the stuff we’re getting in p4 and super excited to see what happens overall with SOD. Shaping up to have some really good times coming in phase 5 and 6. AQ GATES. Naxx. I mean I think it’s a very likely possibility we could get a brand new ish raid at the very end of SOD. If not oh well, it will still be a banger. Even if that’s pretty far fetched on a new raid, we got a lot of content coming up and I think the rework has been pretty good overall. (Let’s not talk about pvp though lol).
Over all of 2019 I never got a kill on a world boss.... This is just like OG uber uniques in D4 yeah you have a small chance to get a kill but the chance is basically impossible, I am happy to kill them for the first time.
Makes the old world bosses instances? Fine. Let people experience something they probably didn't back in the day. It's turn key content. Do that, but then add a couple new world bosses. If you don't then you're deleting a whole concept from the game, and i'd call that Classic -
sadly im a hardcore player but with my time i can only find pugs..and im one of those stuck at 6/8 ..lol meh but yea ST was not pug friendly and to this day lol still pretty rough with pugs
Not a fan of the difficulty levels for world bossses/raids. Not what feels like classic plus. We have these things in retail and cata don’t need them in classic just give us new content that’s harder than MC that gives better gear.
