    Heroic 25M Lich King wasn't above pull 100? I feel like that would be fairly impressive (although given the progressive buff maybe less so depending on when it happened). I guess I don't mind certain bosses taking those 500 pulls. Figure there would be less now with all of the mods that tell...

    I'm mostly okay with this. Still probably think less people who can kill a boss or two in the base difficulty should expect to clear the entire thing within that patch.

    Normal and Heroic should just be abolished then, and for that ilevel progression there should be other content that fills that role. If nothing but clearing Mythic matters, I mean.

    Shit I remember 4 Horsemen and Kael pulls/wipes. 4H had a 25 minute enrage timer, and you were pretty much coming up against it the first couple kills. Kael was also a 25 minute fight, and was made more irritating by the trash back then, where if you were clearing it, you might as well do...

    Lets be honest though, even a semi casual Nascar fan knows Joe Schmoe who runs down at the local speedway shouldn't expect to finish the Daytona 500 anywhere close to being on the lead lap. Maybe we have some guys that are more like a driver on the Xfinity Series, though. Then it's a little...

    My bad fam, haven't raided what I consider seriously since end of TBC. Did semi serious in Wrath, and came back right at the end of Legion. Our guild is fairly casual in play time, we got to 8/11 Mythic in Antorus only raiding 2 nights a week. Haven't done the true Mythic grind, really. I...

    When you say people like you believe me I'm not thinking you're some shit tier player, I just think the very cutting edge Mythic shit shouldn't be something many should expect to clear. Like I said my old/current guild still has some holdovers from the glory days way back when, and some other...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I get this argument completely. But why is the idea of a not cutting edge guild being unable to clear the hardest mode possible akin to "fuck everyone who ISN'T a cutting edge guild"? If clearing Heroic is meaningless, get rid of the intermediary difficulty modes.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    LFR, Normal, and Heroic all exist. If you want Mythic to be designed so most people can clear it, Normal and Heroic should be removed entirely. Just have LFR and the difficulty designed for a good amount of people to clear within the patch life cycle. And the more realistic analogy would be...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Sorry...I mean what else is the point of Normal or Heroic mode then? Is the model that most everyone should be able to clear Mythic, and the path to doing it is clearing the same dungeon on 3 different difficulty levels to progressively gear up? I just think that's silly if that's the...

    No. It's not tuned for them if they're beating it in 2-3 weeks. It's still tuned to everyone else who might/will actually clear Mythic in 4-5 months of progressing and gearing up through the content. Again, if a major component is the ability to actually adequately gear out an entire raid...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm expecting that lockouts should prevent people from being able to gear that quickly. Week 2 or early week 3 if you're playing that much, sure, maybe. First week walking in, no (although if the ability to do split runs/etc to gear up that fast IS the deciding factor, than that should be...

    All guilds? What are we defining as Mythic raiding guilds? Anyone who sets foot into Mythic, kills a boss in Mythic? If the latter, than 5% of that maybe. I'm guessing almost any guilds that get through most of Heroic are able to kill the first boss or two on Mythic. It should be a small...

    I did some in Uldir, we got up to Zul before a lot of us quit to see if this patch would be worth a shit. I'll grant 16 hours a day for a full week is pretty nuts, especially if you're comparing that to normal hardcore guilds that probably raid 4-5 nights a week 3-4 hours a night? Maybe more...

    Frankly BP getting nominated for diversity doesn't both me...since like I've noted previously since they expanded the potential field to 10 films they usually nominate 3-5 shit films in support of super artsy bullshit. The IW question is a legit one, though.

    If we bitch and moan and cry about lack of content/good shit in the game (not anyone in this thread specifically, just in general)...but then are expecting MYTHIC to be clearable week 1, I don't even know what to say. What does it mean for the normal player base? It means they'll be in Normal...

    Frankly, it should be near impossible to clear Mythic first reset or two. Progression is a thing, need a few clears to let gear/upgrades soak through.

    The problem wasn't so much getting rid of the artifact and legendary system, because eventually they would probably need to go away from those had it lasted more than another expansion or two (there's some great things with it, but weaknesses as well). The issue is they got rid of it after the...

    I disagree slightly, in that I think Vanilla was as great as they/we all thought...AT THE TIME...because the landscape is completely different in so many ways nowadays. But Quality of Life changes have come so far that I think virtually everyone won't be able to go back to a lot of the tedious...

    The major problem with the FF14 MSQ catch up is all the shit they added after 2.0 before the first expansion (at least before the final 2.5 or 2.55 stuff). A lot of it is some random unlocks and story made blander by literally being a teleport back and forth between points A and B like ~80...
