it's kind of annoying... all I'm missing for my ulduar proto drake is yogg and my semi-regular ulduar raid leader wants yogg+0 or bust.

I just want my proto drake so I can go back to playing horde :p

Like I was saying, eventually the nerf bat will allow the 4/12 kids to become 11/12 kids.

So?

I've never understood the leet-raider angst over someone else doing stuff they've already done (and got to do first!). I bet you still get worked up over people getting to do Sunwell on their 80s.

so, someone finally beat out the warrior who never trained sunder as the worst player I've ever grouped with...
...
his achievements show him having looted better gear than he has equipped, which I don't get.

That's pretty bad - I'd imagine he's a farmer (Chinese or not). The no talent points thing makes me think he's not serious in any way about the game.

Not sure it beats the rogue I grouped with who hung out at range in a heroic, attacking with throwing knives or whatever.

Worked up over 80's doing Sunwell? Not in the least bit. I just dislike Blizzard nerfing content because the majority of players raid as if they have an extra chromosome. You don't have to do 20k dps to raid, the majority of fights is don't be stupid and pay attentions. The average pug (4/12 kids) have the raid awareness of a 4 year old.

They keep making end game content easier and easier. Eventually, you won't have guilds pushing end game content, you'll have everyone.

That'd be fine if they keep some challenge there. Guilds pushing content now mainly means these guilds have the best gear and any that don't, can't push it. So if they can resolve that i'm all for it.

That said, I've done a lot of heroics and there's almost no challenge for me so far (tank). My gear isn't that great either. So they clearly have to come back a bit with the challenge in PvE in general, imo.

I don't think +0 will be much harder than +1 (assuming you leave hodir up). Killing the adds in P3 vs. taking them down to low health where they hit for much less should be about the same.

That or just tank them and all out burn on yogg.

Theres a reason why it took so long for so many guilds to kill him. The hard part is if you miss a taunt, you wiped the raid and there is 3 at the same time ever minute or something.

Yogg and adds can get hit with 1 or 2 now and you can still do it, LOL gear, however even right after they changed it before TOC gear you could let yogg get one and still win just made the fight much longer.

I've decided that the armory needs a feedback section, like ebay.

when I saw the lack of talents and the fact that he had looted better gear than he had equipped, my first thought was "ninja" but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Technically ya you could let a few get off but a full heal on all adds and your done.

We actually wiped on Festergut last night... even with the 5% buff. I think it took 5 tries just to kill him. I'm pretty disappointed in myself though... I was doing worse than I did without the 5% buff. I only did between 9.1k and 9.6k on the fight and I did around 9.1 to 9.4k the prior time.

Lag pretty much destroyed us on Rotface... almost 3 minutes of constantly 3s input lag :(.

just had the most awesomeust run eva!

get into yet any HOL, notice they are a bit aways so I ask and they say near the last boss. so started trekking it and made it to the room before loken but had to wait a moment, cause of pat they left up. By the time the pat walks far enough for me to get into lokens room get the dungeon complete here's your emblems message, and then I win the roll for the orb.

If it's so easy, why have so few guilds cleared LK?

They're making it easier over time so that yes, weaker players and weaker guilds can clear the hard stuff. Yes, some people suck. Some people kick ass. Most are in the middle and it's in Blizzard's best interests to make the content accessible to "most".

They're catering to millions of people, not the top 2% of raiding guilds. It's challenging - it's been challenging since ICC came out. Some wings were easier than others. The vast majority of people aren't doing heroic ICC because fights like Sindragosa (like we're stuck on) can't be lol-ed through. The thought that ICC should be limited to the top 2% of raiders is an astoundingly selfish position.

no he has a 100% valid point, the way the game is going there is going to be zero sense of accomplishment for doing anything. People should be forced to work for things and not have them handed to them. thats exactly the way the game is going and is the reason why a large % of long time players wont be playing in cata

They made raiding more accessible this xpac which was great, normal modes for the masses. Dumbing down the hard modes so more mouth breathers can kill it is whats wrong.

Has your guild cleared heroic ICC 10 or 25 man?

Currently 2 guilds have cleared 10 man and none have cleared 25 man. Most people won't see the LK encounter without using the buff. WoW is working as intended.

Spike Flail (Anubis' guild) has killed everything but Putricide and LK25. According to WoWprogress they're #75 in the world.

I wouldn't talk shit about them were I you.

LOL umad?!

I'm not talking shit to nobody, just making a point. I would never try to take away from what Anubis or anyone else here has accomplished. Just pointing out that nobody is face rolling the current endgame.

non heroic is pretty damn faceroll, however ICC was better then TOC which was just tooo easy on non heroic, As i clearly said before they can make the normal modes faceroll, i may dissagree with it but whatever. its when they start fucking with the hard modes because "not enough people are killing them" i start to complain. and thats literally why they do it, GC said that at some point

I don't think the buff should have gone out this week, i really think they should have waited another month at least. I just disagree with their idea of how to do the casual/hardcore split. In my perfect world there would be no "heroic mode" 25 main raiding would be the heroic mode and the normal mode would be 10 mans, thats it. Easier to balance and all that, no need to design 4 different tier levels worth of loot blah blah blah
