personally i think the tuning is fine. out the door the tuning is teh best its been so far. mythic will be insane i bet. but normal and heroic are tuned well.
“Listen, three eyes,” he said, “don’t you try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.”
difficulty is fine for norm/heroic. if it's too easy for you do mythic.
as long as mythic has a fixed raid size many guilds will only do heroic, even if they have the skill to clear at least 50% of the raids on mythic. The hardest parts in raiding mythic are not killing the bosses but maintaining a 20 people rooster.
Nobody says heroic should be like mythic, but when most guilds that are interested in the content clear it in week 2, that is a problem.
We were like iLvL 905 when we cleared Heroic ToS...
I really don't think Heroic ToS was overtuned. It's okay for Heroic raids to get a few bosses that are hard. In fact I think the last few bosses of Heroic should be harder than the first few of Mythic. The main challenge of early mythic should simply be getting a stable roster of 20 people (which is not easy!)
Well, it's not just that. High TF M+ gear is not as valuable as it might seem given that almost everyone has 6 slots tied up by legendaries and tier sets, and dungeon trinkets usually aren't the very best for most specs; it doesn't matter if I get a 965 pants with Versa/Crit out of my cache, the stats are terrible for me and I'll never replace my legendaries anyway.
The point is more that we saw a massive growth of power during Tomb thanks to its very powerful set bonuses, and the Crucible was also probably a bigger upgrade than Blizzard intended. This, combined with natural scaling from higher ilvl, basically makes us already very powerful going into this new tier in a way I haven't seen since I started raiding seriously. I do not remember going out of BRF and smashing HFC that hard, or demolishing Tomb after leaving Nighthold.
That chart is awful but I agree with the overall sentiment. We did zero prep until the day of, and even then very little; I was sick so one of our tanks took RL; we had company so my wife, one of our top dps in the small 10-15 raid group, sat the first week; we raid four total hours in the week; and one of our MTs had to ditch for Argus with a dps swapping specs and filling in and it was still a one shot.
We probably shouldn't have cleared at all the first week, at least with all the handicaps we had. We haven't done heroic yet because of how little we raid but yeah. I'm hoping it's somewhat challenging considering how long we're going to have this content for.
I'm curious to see his chart, but not curious enough to dare to turn off my adblockers to be able to see it.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
WoW is made for :feelgood: reward cycle gameplay now, so it's not surprising it went like this.
Content drought is a combination of catchup mechanics and no new content.
Well seeing as they buffed Argus the unmaker I think blizzard is agreeing that they may have slipped on the tuning of that boss a little.
