    Last night when leveling my priest, in regular Vortex Pinnacle

    Mage: *Sheeps Skull*
    Everyone: *ignores this and DPS' skull*
    Bear: "Don't sheap skull, sheep moon." *marks Moon on next pull*
    Mage: "What's a moon"

    WHAT?!

    haha

    also in my experience kicking one person just gets you another with problems

    we kicked a boomkin in zg who couldn't not stand in fire or use the green cauldron on Zanzil

    only to get a mage who wouldn't move into bubbles during p1 of jin'do

    and during that time the priest healing was derping it up real fucking bad.

    90% of people who are bad at WoW turn into douchebags the moment you try to help them

    90% of people who are bad at anything will have hurt feelings or become angry when you try to help them. People are terrible at taking criticism, and wow provides anonymity, so when people feel hurt/angry, they decide to vent.

    Learn to Raid is an awesome site, much better than the dozens of "Random guild X with heavy metal or trance music" vidoes that tend to pop up early.

    If L2R rates these bosses in the 2s and 3s for difficulty, what the hell have they rated a 5?

  • belligerentbelligerent Registered User regular
    M'uru?
    About the difficulty ranking: L2R ranks the difficulty of different fights based on an average of how difficult the different aspects (tanking, healing, and dpsing) are as well as the fights overall movement and situational awareness requirements. These stats are weighed on a scale of 1-5 and the values are averaged together to form the L2R Difficulty Ranking you see above.

  • JustinSane07JustinSane07 __BANNED USERS regular
    It looks like none, since they started rating with Cata.

  • Smaug6Smaug6 Registered User regular
    I mean these are the normal bosses. They couldn't rate a normal raid boss at 4 or 5, else what the hell would heroic bosses be rated at?

    Its a limitation of thier rating system for sure, which in some sense, are all arbitrary and limited by thier internal rules.

    I heard blizz had some "oh, you haven't been playing for so-and-so long, wanna test out a free week?" emails going out a while ago; Were these account-bound or was there a generally redeemable code?
    I'm asking since my bnet-mail has been dead for ~8 months so if there was a mail, I haven't recieved it.

    Generally redeemable code. It was for people to try and get new players (or old players that no longer have an account) to start playing the game. Recruit a Friend type deal.

    which won't work unless they reduce prices dramatically.

    I mean vanilla+bc is what? 20-30? wotlk is STILL 40. then cata is 40 too.

    That's... rediculous.


    Oh trial account where you can't do half the cool things because of goldfarmers.

    Okay cool. I joined a group in progress and they were on the panther boss with all the adds in ZG. It was really tough and everyone was constantly at like ~25% hp. two of the DPS got killed by the same wave at once. it got a lot easier to heal after that, the tank and remaining DPS moved away from her aoe circle thing and the wave and didn't really take much damage, but then she went into her shapeshifted form and built up 20 stacks faster than one DPS could kill her and it was a wipe. they kicked me, so whatever.

    The Panther boss in ZG is pretty butt.

    As is the last boss. For my money, ZA is much easier to heal. Both of them are pretty rough unless you are already all geared out for healing the intro raid content.

    agreed. Both are not kind to healers with stupid dps (on bosses, trash is still easy). But I hate when zg pops up on my healer because of panther and jin'do. How could anyone think those fights are fun for healers?

  • ElldrenElldren Registered User regular
    whee

    had a group that refused to loot mobs and pulled extra trash wiping us

    so I left

    Jin'do is a super fun/easy fight to heal with a good group. Unfortunately internal testing doesn't balance around PuG's. In fact, I would definitely say ZA is a far more punishing instance overall. Damage intake seems to be much higher, and much more challenging trash. I find it kind of sad that it seems they tuned the Bear run to match up with people either at/near heroic raid gear, or regular raid gear with the 15% group buff.

    I've tanked 3 bear runs with PuG's, and haven't been able to hit the 4th timer in a guild run yet due to healer mana issues from things dieing just a little bit slower.

    Presumably heroic modes. With all possible boss encounters on the same scale, there's no possible way that any post-WotLK normal mode is on par with the harder heroic modes.

    I wonder if we'll see any graphical upgrades at any point. The game is really starting to show its age.

    Especially in the quality of the character models. The vanilla models and the cataclysm models are on completely different levels.

  • AeytherAeyther Registered User regular
    So I've been running Ahune once a day for a bag of flowers and everytime I have healed it the following things happen without fail:

    1. A melee dps stands near Ahune when he emerges, gets thrown out, runs back in and dies.

    2. When Ahune emerges, there are at least 3-4 adds who are promtly ignored by the tank and dps and try to eat my face while I fade/kill them.

    3. One dps tries to tank everything in the first wave of adds.

    Every. Single. Time.

    I can't tell if it's the lame 1-liners or the annoying accent or a combination of both but I can't listen to that L2R guy

    edit: I will force my brother to explain fights in a christopher walken voice. That will help.

  • PoketpixiePoketpixie Registered User regular
    Ahune has been nothing but shenanigans today. People getting tossed all over the place because they can't avoid the stuff, adds running loose, people dropping group in the middle of the pull(soon as that happens 1-2 other people drop/disconnect), etc.

    PATCH DAY GO!

  • DirtyDirtyVagrantDirtyDirtyVagrant Registered User regular
    I was just informed in trade that blizzard has a regular habit of "nerfing" raid bosses now?

    To what end? Just to stop the whining?

    Why does everyone bitch so much?

    Ignore the fact that I'm bitching about people bitching.

  • INeedNoSaltINeedNoSalt Registered User regular
    Another healing commentary:

    Got put into ZG on the final boss. Wiped several times. On every occasion, it was because i had 4-5 wraith things chasing me. Naturally I was blamed for the wipes and got kicked.

    Did ZG on my DK. One-shotted that boss. Noticed that there were never five or more wraiths up at a time.

    The current tier is now old content. Today the normal modes will all get nerfed 20%, because anyone who is doing progression content will be moving on to firelands or is already doing heroic raiding. This allows people who aren't in progression raids to see most of tier 11 now. This plus the gear inflation that comes from a new raid tier will make it significantly easier.

    The same thing has happened to a lesser or greater extent in every raiding tier since at least Wrath.

  • KafkaAUKafkaAU Registered User regular
    Happened in BC too. Just less sweeping like the 20% expected tomorrow. It was more general nerfs to specific encounters to make them easier, and in particular lessening of the attuning requirements (i.e. no need to kill vashj + KT to get into BT). The biggest one I can ever remember was at the end of BC, in the patch between expansions. A sweeping 30% nerf to everything and on top of that a whole heap of new talents which boosted DPS increadibly.

    How ironic, considering the Bear run was tuned to that in TBC (I'd struggle to believe a 10 man group in Kara gear could do that speed run).

    As for raid nerfs; well Blizz are the only ones with the official figures, but I'd wager that alot less have made it through the raid content this time around than any of the raids that took place in WotLK and that these nerfs are an effort for more people to see the content.

    which won't work unless they reduce prices dramatically.

    I mean vanilla+bc is what? 20-30? wotlk is STILL 40. then cata is 40 too.

    That's... rediculous.


    Oh trial account where you can't do half the cool things because of goldfarmers.

    There was a box set of Vanilla-TBC-Wrath at work for $50 a few weeks ago I went a looked yesterday and all they had were the $20 vanilla-tbc ones


    Compared it to sims I got sims medieval a few weeks ago and was curious about sims 3 I really did not know it had that many editions to it

    Huh. You sure about that? Because I know when I reinstalled the game I only had to install wotlk and it installed everything else with it.

    If they keep BC and Wotlk locked out to people who buy Cata.... yeah that's really stupid.
