Can we stop with the "You died." mechanics in raids?

“You died.” Is how it shows up in the combat log… no health deductions, just instant death. Or if it is a must for current content, can we get rid of that mechanic for raids from other expansions? It is wildly irritating when trying to solo old raids.

Are you talking about when the combat log doesn’t tell you any info on how you instantly died?
Yeah I’ve had that happened and it’s annoying not seeing what exactly happened.

Are you talking about instant-kill mechanics?

You can see what happened to you in the Log. I have never, not once, not known what I died to.

Usually it’s because you triggered some sort of one shot mechanic due to lack of players or similar, or you fell off a platform.

To be clear, older expansion raid bosses who hit you for very small amounts shouldn’t still have insta-kill mechanics that completely ignore your health pool.

Which one are you having problems with? Some raids, mainly BfA+, cannot be soloed due to mechanics. The rest, if you are dying to an instant kill mechanic, you are doing something wrong.

thats uhm thats how % based mechanics work.

I was soloing a BFA raid last, but it’d be nice if all insta-kill mechanics went away for all non current expansion raid bosses.

I want the opposite. I want all raids tuned to be solo, but Mage Tower like solo. I say, no more roflstomping braindead tmog/mount runs. Make em hard.

Eonar on Mythic seems like a headache to solo, go over here, then up here, then down to this path, just kill 1 guy here, go over here, go to the spaceship, activate the crystals in a specific order, escape the spaceship, if you do anything wrong you die. One of these days I’ll sit down and watch a video but for now I am going for lower hanging transmog fruit

They should make it like the green dragon in ICC, where you can skip it. That was a great QoL change and Blizz should do that where appropriate.

Oh, poor little thing, ya be needin’ some help from old Bwonsamdi?

They wouldnt be blizzard if they didnt do the unstoppable stun/slow/root / insta kill circle of death, lmao.
its NOT fun.
Its NOT challenging
Its NOT entertaining.

When I was 19 years old i used to write crap like that up for our RPGs sometimes.
Players stopped wanting to play.
I dont do that anymore now that Im older and understand a little better what ISNT fun or funny.

I get thru that one sometimes without any problems but I mostlly just dont bother farming that boss or anything after that requires it.
old content should have that crap removed.

You can skip Eonar with a quest, but Eonar is also the only source for some class’s tier chest mog.

Please ignore them. They live to stir things up; not help.

Just in case if anybody is wondering what OP is saying, he wants the insta-kill mechanics in old raids to be gone.
