So I think “this” was supposed to be a catch up mechanic. Here’s actually how gearing up is going:
- do reg heroics for gs (hard to find since everyone does h+ now)
- get into a nax10 or 25 with said gs which is actually easier than h+ to hopefully get gear (a lot more kt/sapp only runs so screw other bosses you need)
- now you have a gs “worthy” of an inv to a h+ if you’re not a tank/healing class which drops gear only good for you and not the 4.2k gs peeps. What a disaster. You’re DEing/vendoring everything just to get your daily’s/HR SNR etc.
So the elephant in the room. The mechanics.
They’re not hard, H+ isn’t hard either. Is it extremely tedious and time consuming? Absolutely. The said mechanic at least imo which occurs what seems like every couple of seconds seems a little too frequent imo. I’d be curious to know what others think. Hell, even raid boss mechanics don’t occur that frequently (looking at you mirror image).
Oh The blood pools are just really bad textures, had to throw that in!
My proposal would be either with OP that posted thread, or just make a cd on the said mechanic. The dmg and hp buff seems fine but damn some of these mechanics are just annoying and not fun (again, they aren’t hard, just tedious and time consuming). You woek a long day, come home to do your daily’s and just attack clones every couple of seconds over and over and over and if the tank pulls 2 packs at once you’re just asking for some tylonol

Haha, you’re stuck living in 2008.
So because you work alot you want blizzard to change their game.
Grow up sick of this mindset from people.
I think retail would suit you better given your time constraints. Vanilla-wotlk was never friendly towards mega casuals.
Dont work over time and fine geared players. Problem solved. Everyone wants to come to forms to complain about their personal problems. You’ve created this issue. Fix it yourself
I dont think they will for 1 reason, because it will show how dead heroics are now with geared people looking for the 5 emblems instead of the 2 you get from regular heroics. New players, players that are coming back, or alts are going to have a rough time getting ulduar ready and by that time people are going to want uld geared people to do ulduar.
RDF just needs to come in at this point. 1-80, normal and heroic dungeons. Leave H+ for the “server community” nonsense people have been spouting.

I thought the intent was to put in a catch up mechanic? As it sits now (generally speaking) H+ requires as good if not better gear than what now drops in them. Did the goal change to just make these more like mythic+ in live? If so I guess that’s fine but seems like the IL of gear dropping is too low for that purpose.
If the intent was (as I remember) to add a catch up mechanic these should be re-tuned to be doable with a group of blue geared alts of average ability.
Personally I was looking forward to a new way to gear up alts but as it sits now doing H+ on poorly geared (blue) alts is not really viable. Seems like a waste.
And have fun finding regular heroics at this point. Everyone wants those 5 emblems for the daily instead of the 2 you get from regular heroic. Thats why people want geared people for this catch up system which defeats the catch up part of this content that its supposed to be.
Before we could just run heroics for badges over even before the RDF get those badge items, faction items and even some pieces from the heroics and be relatively cought up at this point for at least 10m uld.

I agree. Other than recognizing how frustrating runs would be with poorly prepared characters, I’ve found H+ tedious – highlighting design I disliked in later expansions.
The irony of all this? I quit retail 6 years ago because it was unpleasant to keep trying to reconcile a game and community I liked with design decisions I disliked.
Classic comes along and now I can revisit WoW as it was. Wrath comes along and, hey, sweet, I can revisit a faithful adaptation of my favorite expansion.
So what happens? Exactly the same devs behind retail design back then show up and decide Wrath Classic is where they start rewriting everything to be like retail.

I didn’t know having to work made bad ideas magically good.
There definitely needs to be a Heroic+ tab on the listing. I’m with some that I just want to get the dailies done and move on and don’t have the time to see if I get lucky and get into a good enough group to do the new Heroic+.

Than don’t do them. Form your own group since that’s the only way you can que for dungeons now, and pick and choose whom you’d like.
you are aware that you can do the dungeons in Plus or Regular Heroic mode right? you’re not forced to do plus to get the new badges.
next you’re gonna want LFD again right? its so silly how its “no changes” until we get to wrath than its like you know what… yeah. I couldn’t care less for end game, there’s easy and fast groups but leveling, have fun trying to do a dungeon at level lol
What h+ takes 3 hours let alone 2??? You’re being facetious because you don’t enjoy mildly challenging content. These dungeons take an hour (one) in a PUG, faster with a guild group.
Well I don’t enjoy easy as pie content. Get rid of heroics, only offer h+ imo. Haven’t touched a heroic since week 3 of p1 until h+ came out.
I’m kidding, keep em both cuz they benefit more players. Blizz is killing it on 5 man content in classic right now.
OP, you should try retail, 5 mans there take 15 minutes and require no effort whatsoever.
But you certainly need 3 extra emblems of conquest at the end of it.
And this is why we need RDF. Use LFG posting for H+ and use RDF for Emblem farming.
Problem solved
Also try forming your own groups lol…

But if they add a tab to seperate Heroic+, then it could impact our social experience they fought so hard to preserve.

Lol - that’s not true at all.
