How many people are you playing with? There are like a dozen of us so we'll need to team up with others to do the 20 and 40 person raids |

Date: November 5th, 2026 1:14 AM Author: Pearly Personal Credit Line Spot might try this i dunno WoW is a major major investment if you're competitive about end game pve or pvp although i think the pvp standards are much looser from back when i played last (wotlk) i heard NuBlizz's writing team is not good (WoW memes and screeds i've come across from recent years are very insistent and heated on the points that 1. some major writer has a very weird and obvious foot fetish that you're forced to sit through in cutscenes and 2. they're mangling the world-lore and not for any real benefit to the overarching story of the World of... Warcraft) and very political which can be fine but in their case it's without any subtlety or artistic deftness which is not fine |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 10:17 AM Author: the White jensen huang just quit after you hit 60 if you don't wanna do endgame
leveling is the most fun part in classic wow imo. especially right after release when everyone is doing it and the world is super alive and dynamic |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 11:48 AM Author: free man do not obstruct or illegally monitor i really liked endgame content, raiding and guild politics were probably my favorite parts of "defined" gameplay in wow so it's going to draw me in. dicking around in world pvp being a close second to that raiding is fun and the raid map design is always a pleasure to putt around in and sightsee. peak for me was the sunwell mini expansion rollout weekend iirc. BC had some incredible endgame content |

Date: November 5th, 2026 10:22 AM Author: Arousing Idea He Suggested endgame PvE is confirmed to be a joke.
Based on Blizzard's statements, I expect WoW: Forever raids to be substantially easier than pre-nerf M'uru—and that appears to be the intended philosophy for the game's entire lifespan, not merely its opening tiers.
Blizzard has been unusually explicit about this.
1. They don't want progression walls like M'uru
In a September interview, lead game designer Tim Jones explained that Forever's raid difficulty should come primarily from preparation, assembling a group, and understanding encounters.
He specifically said:
"There's no expectation that you're putting in hundreds of reps or even tens of reps on certain raid bosses."
That's a remarkably strong statement. It suggests they aren't interested in designing encounters that routinely require dozens of wipes before a competent guild can defeat them.
Lead encounter designer Michael Nuthals reinforced this philosophy during Blizzard's End of Beta podcast.
He described their target as beer-and-pretzels raiding: bosses should require coordination and preparation, but shouldn't overwhelm players with elaborate mechanics. They also favor mechanics that punish individual mistakes rather than automatically wiping the entire raid.

Date: November 5th, 2026 10:30 AM Author: the White jensen huang it's gonna be like season of discovery. pve pretty easy but with enough mechanics to still make it unpuggable for like half the player population
do not underestimate how unbelievably terrible and dumb people are. i don't think they can make it any harder than this or else people straight up wouldn't play |

Date: November 5th, 2026 10:36 AM Author: Arousing Idea He Suggested I didn't play SoD because it looked gay. I went HAM on TBC Classic and probably won't play this shit.

|
Date: November 5th, 2026 11:00 AM Author: the White jensen huang i'm with you man it's way more fun when there's progression-level difficulty
just saying that i understand why they're doing it this way. people are so mind blowingly bad
sod was 179 btw not flame |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 11:50 AM Author: free man do not obstruct or illegally monitor still? 15 years later? sod was the remix shit in classic right? |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 1:14 PM Author: the White jensen huang yeah
sod was probably the most fun i've ever had with wow. the designers really knew what they were doing. it was basically just a more dynamic and rich version of classic wow |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 11:50 AM Author: free man do not obstruct or illegally monitor this may actually end up being too easy as i'd hope at least that median player familiarity with the fundaments of the game systems was higher than it was years ago. wow pve difficulty really is just in herding brain damaged lemmings into or out of various shiny spots on the floor with the help of an entire raytheon FutureSoldier™️ suite of performance enhancing hud addons. we had a guy who was clinically nearly blind in our guild. even funnier, he was a GO and a RL still bewildering remembering people dying to stuff like gruul's movement dance or the water elemental in serpentshrine cavern but my old guild was also just a bunch of rowdy drunks and 16 year olds chain eating hot pockets on mic mid-raid i don't really like that they cater to casuals with end game content. this was going on even in wotlk era. i recall running a pug naxx 20 (?) shortly after they opened the partyfinder for raids and spending the next 3 hours doing that white guy blinking .gif in between shots of stoli. only killed ONE (1) boss during that, the abom thing, and experienced no fewer than 6 wipes including two to dungeon trash |

Date: November 5th, 2026 12:22 PM Author: Jung Jeezy Hydross was hillarious and one of the worst retard checks for me personally wanting to squeeze out more dps. Shade of Aran should already have prepped people for that though.
And that's also what I loved about TBC raiding--the collective personal skill progression that reminds me of Genichiro in sekiro feeling impossible at first but really preparing you for the much harder later bosses like Ishin by gating your mechanic fundamentals to an acceptable level. Archimonde does this and by the time you're fighting Brutallus anyone getting the flame debuff has already been accustomed to personal responsibility for wipes by Archi.
I fear they are trying to snuff out GDKP by just removing the difficulty requirements that incentivize it. |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 12:27 PM Author: free man do not obstruct or illegally monitor That is a very good metaphor and I'd also add that the various movement routines were also like Sekiro's "rhythm game disguised as a hack and slash title" quality as well WoW raiding had a sort of musical quality to it that was reminiscent of the spirit of DDR at times. Old Blizz were geniuses with this stuff ime Years ago there was a big discussion, like 300+ pages, on the forums about the gdkp model being a vector for social abuse (it was, but this was very much a thing solved by individuals taking the "join a different guild then" advice) so perhaps that's what's going on in the developer teams' minds. Current WoW (probably MoP, that's when gms started cleaning this stuff up) is a hugbox but older WoW was very much an Eve bonus room wild west of player experiences |

Date: November 5th, 2026 12:24 PM Author: Jung Jeezy TBC wasn't even difficult btw I was in a casual guild before SWP and even with 10+ fullblown morons we were able to clear everything (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915969&forum_id=2#50234691) |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 12:31 PM Author: free man do not obstruct or illegally monitor It wasn't difficult compared to stuff like AQ40 but at the time there weren't as many 3rd party resources available for understanding e.g. raid mechanics or floor layouts so a run would often live or die on the RL's ability to explain the fights effectively and keep everyone on the same page I remember reading about that same hydross fight's mechanics on some really shitty russian or swedish translated site and thinking "What the fuck is this guy talking about" "Go to room вершина and hold 2 minute" Ok thanks boss I'll be at the blyatschina how much borscht should I pack for those two minutes |
|
Date: November 5th, 2026 1:12 PM Author: the White jensen huang tbc probably self selected for people who know how to play
i'm mainly referring to SoD. tons of bad players. which is fine i mean there are always going to be different skill levels in any game. but it made it so that they were never going to make the fights overly mechanically demanding |

Date: November 5th, 2026 11:50 AM Author: German pumo Would love to go hard on it like I used to, but just not enough hours in the day. So I guess I'll have to do the slow leveling thing. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915969&forum_id=2#50234594) |

classic wow is probably just the best game ever made |
|
Date: November 12th, 2026 12:56 AM Author: German pumo Wish it had better world pvp though. STV is like a horde zone now and that's causing a lot of ally to re-roll on the pve realm. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5915969&forum_id=2#50252257) |
