Some dialogue would be good instead of just throwing dynamite into the nursery and disappearing.
Why wasn’t the live version tested?

Problem with making it too easy is you get a similar situation to where you would go in with Antorus gear and just stomp the whole thing back in Legion.
I did the marksman challenge when I was maining hunter for a bit just rocking some M+ gear back in Antorus, and I legit two shot Raist. The twins encounter during nighthold was insane on my mage, and I just two shot the dude in one phase, pretty much.
It was hilarious, because I was dreading it so much before that point, but totally ruined the challenge of the entire encounter.

Its crazy… i mean… it just might be way too out there…
Its possible to be really challening without being impossible.
Its possible to be slightly less than impossible without being Way To easy.
Very hard idea for people. I know.

Just make the current difficulty award OG + new xmog rewards, and make an easier difficult to reward just the new mogs. OR make the 36-challenge Feat of Strength award the OG appearances too.
Problem solved.
Hi, I know it’s been a little while, but some advice. For some specs, it it preferrable to just ignor the melee guy and burn the caster. The fight ends as soon as the caster dies. You may find success holding as many CDs as possible for P2/4 and doing as much damage to the caster as possible then finishing him in P5.
Related: the crawling adds should be ignored, entirely. Your already going to have to be kiting the melee guy, adding the adds on top of that doesn’t make it harder. So single target damage is better. Even better if you can abuse the fact there is a small army chasing you to increase your damage. EX: frost mage gets extra frozen orb procs thanks to the adds, letting them tunnel damage into the boss.
People assume wanting them to tone it down means they want it to be dirt simple, while forgetting that balance is all about finding that healthy medium point.
Hence why Blizzard’s extreme correction approach to balance is widely mocked across the entire gaming industry.

Thank you Blizz for looking into this so quickly!! Keep it up!
Because blizzard did stealth buffs to some of the challenges the night before it went live. They even buffed challenges that were at the right difficulty on the PTR when they were tested. Certain trinkets also got nerfed for really no reason.

Can you please make sure they’re evaluated against the use of gems/consumables/enchants.
Right now I can see how the challenges make sense with all of the optimal ones active - but with the inflated costs, that easily runs players into the tens of thousands of gold, not including repair bills.
I more neutral approach would be to not allow them and things like drums to be used, and then have the challenges tuned against that criteria so that all players have the same chance. Otherwise players are being gouged by the AH goblins trying to extort them for as much as possible; e.g. 30k for some gems, and 6k PER potion, etc.

Is there a time frame? Or can we expect it to take until after it’s gone?

More feedback and experiences: Experiences: Guradian MT scaling broken (Updated) - #100 by Murphhy-emerald-dream
- You quoted them literally talking to us in the thread and you still complain they are not talking to you.
- It’s not impossible because other people have done it, but I agree it’s overly difficult as of now.
I got really close. When you get Sigryn below 15% the CD on Blood of the Father becomes less than the CD on my Mortal Coil, so I panic and fear. Even if she gets the cast off, CC8bg her again will stagger/reduce the ticks of the spell, so I don’t die. I’m just under tremendous pressure by the time I get all 3 real low. If I can just get Sigryn down, I can tKe out the other 2 ezp. I’ve spent Bout 400k gold setting up my character for the MT. Gold well spent once I get it down.
I hope the devs are also considering this is a time walking event. The spirit of time walking has always been about experiencing past content not trying to give people depressing fits.

But this is a challenge and supposed to feel like one. They don’t have to be overly difficult but it can’t be a walk in the park either.
More in line?
What spec is currently fine?
This is a very deaf posts

Imagine if there was like, a server, available to the public where such testing could be done.
