Whoever wrote that wowhead article is clueless and probably just looked at the fake news reddit post without verifying things for themselves (or playing the game themselves at that). The 8x multiplier has been in the game since shortly after the start of SL.
The only thing that changes in DF right now is raid bosses health scaling up another 80% and hitting you like a truck once again.
If you don’t want to put any effort into a video game. Might i suggest something more your speed like playing minecraft survival in creative mode? Or cookie clicker? Or watching tv?
I do.
Everyone else does not, and will not. They either don’t know the mechanics, or can’t run to the big orbs in time. so I gave up.
This was around end of BfA, and still not soloable then. I have no idea how it plays now, however.
To add context, we had exactly 20 max level players that have outleveled and outgeared the fight.
Still could not 1-shot the boss to skip said mechanic. Every last one of them died, except for the demon hunters which is what I mostly played at the time for the mog.
Most pugs I’ve joined just chicken out and disband after avatar.
This sounds absolutely stale and boring. I would rather prefer that they require the player to form a raid group because that is exactly what they are. A raid. Not some adventure into a easy peasy area where you can one shot everything.
I’m dead serious. We have the tech. You wanna help aid the “war” on solo gameplay? Have the player form a group or join a guild to tackle such obstacles.
