1 Man Raid (Old Legendary Update as Reward)

[Tomia]

Would it be nice if wow move on from there old ways and do something FAR different that will make people doubt if they are still playing world of warcraft (Maybe...World of Warcraft 2)
(This is just brainstorming...share your idea)

ONE MAN RAID
>Raid Rewards gold+valor. Plus the ability to transmog legendary
>Raid is repeatable and there would be save point every floor in case you run out of time playing BUT the save point automaticaly resets when you already completed the raid.
>This idea comes from ps, xbox, ds games, pc games (Nothing found in wow)
>It will be a raid with different floors having different ways to complete.
>All floors are NOT "tank and spank dodge the fire strategy" but its 100% mechanics base.
>The raid changes depending on your spec and talent to prevent people from exploiting op skills.
>Funny wow characters like budd and many more will be with you adding some spice into every floor. In other words they will be messing with the place activating the traps and making your life harder. (mostly cinematics...get a chance for them to meet each other)
>There would be 5-10 floors you need to clear half of it are mini games mostly parody of comedy and scary games like example crash bandicot runing away from a giant invulnerable boss having a cinematics of resident evil to scare people. Brain Games also included like puzzles and Mazzes similar to the Phi Brain anime.
>The other half which consist of bosses has no HP and its purely mechanics, forcing people to use almost everything in there spell book in order to clear it.

Example 1: If your a frost mage then your goal is to freeze and shater the boss similar to the old AQ ooze boss but every skill must be use at a specific mechanics. There would be a stacking debuff on the boss and that increase for every mechanics you succesfuly cleared and your goal is about 50-100 stacks. Spaming frost bolt and icelance (with brain freeze) will only give 1 stack each. The other mechanics which will make you use blizzard, nova, cone, spell steal, blink, etc, etc provide 5-15 stack.

Example 2: Druid will be force to change form in order to clear mechanics like runing away with cat form and tanking adds with bear form and healing self with normal form. You will be doing that till BOSS KILLS ITSELF with the mechanics similar to the old Hercules vs Medusa Fight of Play Station.

Example 3: rogue, cat druid would be doing things like assasins greed, hitman, ninja gaiden parodies in order to clear the dungeon or beat the last boss. On the last boss Vanish and stealth are part of the mechanics and it does Not remove agro. Using vanish for you to hide and regen hp or wait for skill cd will make boss do a long channel one shot aoe skill that you need to interupt after your done with what ever reason you use vanish. Because of the mechanics you will be force to use a skill you will never expect like smoke, blind, etc.

Example 4: Hunter, Locks, frost Mage will be force to work with there pets in the brain games. Theres mechanics let your pet stand on one switch while you stand in another then you nuke the boss then move to an alternate set of switch to shut off the boss shields.

Example 5: Flame users will be force to use there skills on light up the room which is required to weaken the boss which is invulnerable at darkness and you do that while runing away dodging falling stuff.

>This raid is not part of any lore and is purely skill base. It will force players to use everything in there spell book.
>It would not be your usual remodel and recycle expansion because most game play are not found in WoW and there is too much mechanics in one boss making it far more difficult.
>The goal here is to have fun, master once class and specification, expirience comedy, horror, thrill and expirience something never seen in the history of world of warcraft.

People seem to misunderstood the thread.
The purpose is to open a topic about what If we add things not found in wow, I start a topic then you guys share your own while ignoring mine. The poll was made to make people disagree on purpose. If people disagree then that means they have a better idea. I want those out of your head and write it as comments.
This is just for Fun and English is not my main language.
Help me brainstorm..Write in Comment anything you want to add or remove in it. Make your Own Floor base on class. Share your idea to completely change world of warcraft into a new game.

Im sure the idea of legendary upgrade is what everyone wants.

One thing you can be sure of is that in a game this big there is nothing that everyone wants.

[Bladeface]

this is a terrible idea for many different reasons. for one why the fuck would soloing something full of mobs you can 1 shot give you best in slot gear???

[Ruunecapeman]

Sounds interesting. Sounds almost like a large-scale and more difficult Brawler's Guild. More as to how I expected Brawler's Guild would be.

[Adoxe]

I like it and It sounds like a pretty cool idea IMO but I doubt Blizzard will add it anytime soon, if ever. Although I'm hoping they do some sort of thing like that.

[Durahal]

This sounds like a balancing nightmare.

[Hunty]

Problem 1: the casuals will cry that they cant do it, or every person in this game will be running around with a BiS legendary.
Problem 2: class-specific. Blizzard removed even the class quests because not everyone experienced them, the crazy bastards.

I'd personally love such a thing, but its just not an option for WoW as it is. If you want it to work, the reward has to be a feat of strenght and a title and maaaaaybe a tabard. Then, maybe make a tank, melee, ranged and healing version. (Probably still too wide-spread, Blizz used the argument ''you have dualspec so why not use one for dps'' before).

Where's the option for no to both?

[Tomia]

Its not your old remodel and recycle like what blizzard has always been doing. The mechanics lets you use your head and everything in your spell book. There is no HP bar where you can tank and spank nuke the boss till you get your reward. If you cant think then you cant finish a floor and every floor has diferent SETS of mechanics.

[shokter]

Ok, I disparaged your idea a bit with my earlier comment so let me just say I actually sort of like the idea of single player challenging instanced content (let's not call it a 1 player raid) so i voted for the third option in your poll. I do hate the idea of upgrading legendaries. I have had great fun in Brawler's Guild, and am hoping Proving Grounds may be something akin to the 1 person challenge you describe. I like the idea of cosmetic rewards for these types of things tho.

[Tomia]

Its different from class specific quest. The mechanics changes to your class and spec before you enter the floor. Classes will see the same boss but they will expirience diferent mechanics since the boss will use a diferent skill base on your curent class.

No to both means leave the forum.

[Ziaon]

Sounds pretty good reminds me of FF11

[Tomia]

Balancing would be minimal since everything are mostly one shoted. There is no HP so armor and things like that doesnt matter. Its all mechanics. Dodge this dodge that, use this skill for that, use the other skill for that other mechanics. So its completely a brain game.

[brirrspliff]

No to both means leave the forum.

hilarious! by that logic, i think this is valid: "if you want one-man raids, leave the game and go play something else!"

[Tomia]

The idea comes from old games so yeh FF is there. Its more of compilations and parodies of all the games you can remember. So its basicaly none wow related rather than your playing it on wow. If they can add Mario cart in it, hell yes.

[Ziaon]

They can add it but will we ever see it probably not, unless they stop making raids n focus on this

[Tomia]

Yep, similar...but has far more mechanics, making use of everything in your spell book and too much thinking. Well the reward makes you upgrade an old legendary into the bis of what ever expansion you are in anyway. Plus since everything is mechanics base then gear counts to nothing. Its all about mastery of ones class.

[DakonBlackblade]

"How About No!!"

Seriously this would take forever and a half to develop and would be a nightmare for raiders cause them youd feel forced to run this stuf to upgrade your legendaries to help your guild progress on the tier and that on top of all the daillys and VP bulcrap we have to endure in MoP would simply be way too freaking much. Brawlers Guild is fun and worked cause there are no rewards atached to it (aside from some achievs) so ppl just do it at theyre own paces or dont do it at all.

[Serissa]

"1 man raid" what?

I'm not sure OP understands what "raid" means. Honestly.

[S Blieft]

Where's the option for no to both?

I have to agree, no option for NO to both.

Legendaries are what they are... A group effort for the most part. Though the new
model allows a little more leeway on achieving the "legendary", it's still a group effort
be it LFR or standard raiding.

We've already moved into the style that allows legendaries to be much more easily
attainable, do we really need it to be easier than it already is?
