    It will be rewarded.

    That's it. I'm not going to play Cataclysm if this goes to live: 10-Man and 25-Man raids will share the same lockout.

    Yeah screw people who prefer the face passed epic feel of 25 man raids in favour of the slow, watered down 10man guilds@@@@@@@@@!!!!!!!!!!!

    Honestly the only people here being selfish jerks are 10man guilds. With 10/25 lockouts you get your 10man raids to enjoy and 25man raids enjoyed by 25man guilds. This is just you guys being little selfish kids butthurt because you can have 264 level items like those mean old 25 man raiders.

    Seriously, get a life you scum.

    As you said mind, no big time guild will do 10s for current content. Apart from your fine point about PotT and guild talents, theres also the fact you can get away with alot more slack/DCs/Fail/Bad RNG, stack more Battle reses, have a larger mix of classes and buffs etc in a 25 man raid than a much smaller 10 man, if anything the 10s might punish mistakes alot worse as long as they bump up the difficulty from its current faceroll state.

    Still think its a good change and not the world ender alot of people seem to think it is
    Sure, but both Guild Leveling and Path of Titans don't work on a ladder system. It's basically leveling, everyone has the shot to get to the top. The best ones will get there first.

    Item level as "merit" reward is gone, when we combine all three changes. Cataclysm will be about guild pride, not player pride.

    Claiming that 10 man can be same difficulty as 25 man: pathetic. thaddius can be 4 manned on 10 man in blues but with the same gear would be a wipe to enrage on 25 man with less than 20.
    because Thaddius is Cataclysm o_O

    Re: Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements

    My my, look at all the QQ : Cataclysm is not even here and the whiners are breaking out the pitchforks and torches.

    Personally me and my guild are liking this idea. Usually we haunt the 25 man raids and will still be having 25 man wipe-fests in Cataclysm Heroics. However as a guild of working adults, sometimes Real Life gets in the way. We have had way too many nights where our 25 man teams (we have enough players and alts to have a couple of raid teams) are sidelined because some players have to work late, are stuck on the local motorway/autobahn/train, have a sick kid, etc. Come Cataclysm, we will not be wasting time twiddling our thumbs, we can just run a ten man team and get the same gear/badges if only not as much of it. Plus having multiple raid instances to choose from will help us.

    We are generally hard core when it comes to raiding (we cut our raiding teeth during Vanilla on ZG, AQ20, MC and Onyxia), however we also understand that shit happens and we have to adjust. This change makes that adjustment much easier to do.

    Now time to sit back and watch the QQ Express roll on.

    Re: Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements

    LOVE the 'difficulty' part of the news. I always saw 10 and 25 man raids als alternatives to each other,none should be superior or inferior.

    Absolutely HATE the thing about 10man and 25man sharing the same lockout.
    Right now we're doing 10man in the guild and 25man with a raid alliance. Most of our 10man guys are in the 25man raid, but not all of them. Also we're more successfull in the 10man (couple sucky people in the 25man unfortunately). Now we will have to decide whether to leave the 25man raid alliance and do 10man exclusively, create two or more 10man raids (possibly mix each week) in the raid alliance and switch to doing multiple 10mans instead of one 25man (and possible switch back and forth depending on the amount of people able to raid this week). etc. Maybe some guys in our guild prefer the 25man, others prefer the 10man so we'll split.

    This fucking sucks, pretty sure it'll ruin our guild....

    Re: Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements

    To me this change absolutely blows.

    I'm not all fussed about the difficulty being easier/harder either as I'm sure they'll balance this appropriately, but I far prefer the environment in our 10-man group over that of our 25's.

    Being in a 25-man focused guild our guild is going to be obviously taking that route and continue in such, thus eliminating our 10-man groups. I far prefer the environment in our 10-man group over that of our 25's for several reasons:
    - I get along with all the people in my 10man, whereas I don't my 25's.
    - The skill level is all very high in our 10man, and again differs in our 25's where we have to carry people.
    - Raiding 10man doesn't feel like a chore as I actually look forward to it, whereas 25man it does.

    Due to the above factors, the attitude towards raiding is increased and is far more enjoyable for myself and the rest of the group.

    Obviously, it could be said to go find a 10-man guild and be done with it, but I'm happy in my current guild and I don't want a different one.

    Pretty much this change will kill 10-man raiding in our guild and that is what I enjoy the most, so for me and I'm sure many others in this situation, the change is horrible.

    Re: Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements

    I like the changes more or less. Having the same gear drop in both 10/25 will help to get people geared up fast, but I would've liked to see maybe a higher level weapon drop from the last boss on 25 like we have now with KT,LK. At least give some incentive before heroic modes to stick with clearing 25man.

    Re: Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements

    Good and bad. It needed to be done because it was never clear what being a good 10 man raider meant. You didn't get the same loot so you must be less skilled as a raider? Even though there are some encounters that are actually more difficult with less people because of less healers.


    Bad because they need to just kill 25 mans completely and let the fallout come. They would be pretty irrelevant at this point. I know people are going to explode with this news and it will be a complete shit storm, but how many times have you had a 25 man fall apart because some guy didn't show up, or keep getting d/c'ed, or your guild just doesn't comfortably have 25 people up for a raid on an average night.

    The difficulty of an encounter should not be keeping 25 people on the same page, but each person's skill and understanding of their class.
