I like how one guy makes one post about needing the ICC buff and Blizz gives in. My guild hasn’t hit any walls and we are a normal dad guild. We’re about to be 11/12 soon.
To everyone saying just turn it off. That’s not how this works. nobody is gonna turn it off. There’s no special achieve or gear incentive. DELAY the BUFF!@!@ Nobody wants the buff!@!@, ICC is perfect the way it is!@!@
OG wrath had this buff cuz people sucked backed then and the game was full of incompetent unreliable 17 year olds. This is not OG. I mean i would settle for the buff to be exclusive for LK only.
Edit: i think my biggest complaint is. Blizzard hasn’t let the gear itself being a buff play out. Nobody is close to full 277 unless they are split running. 8 resets is not enough time to let the game and natural progression to play out. Need like another 4 resets before buff. Im certain that alot of guilds with more time and gear will get H LK in 6 weeks time without a buff. Most guilds are wrapping up professor putricide and Sindy. Let the progression play out.
Yea I feel it comes too soon and will put added pressure on guilds to execute those kills before it goes live leading to even more turmoil than what Ulduar did…
It’s going to be mid feb before its at 30%, they need to give some weeks at 30% before cata prepatch, this is probably the latest they could put it in.
Fair enough… I guess 5% every 2 weeks isn’t overkill…. Sucks because I missed my opening week because my guild fell apart… joined a new guild and they have had a lot of people gone. So starting out with 22-23 people hurts progression.
We are now starting to get full raids and then this announcement. Lol
I disagree. the main reason why we are just getting to H LK is because of raid time. That’s pretty much why everyone is 10/12 or 11/12. Time constraints. Given enough pulls and gear I’m confidant our guild can down him.
If you’re already progging LK how do you not already have the pulls and gear?
I’m in a casual guild. We haven’t even downed normal Sindragosa yet, let alone even seen the LK, and I’m already nearly full pre-heroic BiS. What is your raid group doing?
We are not on H LK yet, bout to kill PP. It takes about 100+ pulls for most guilds to get H LK. But I’m sure it will be easier once everyone is in alot of 277 teir. THere’s still alot of gear to get. 264 gear is not that special. And it would prob be a month until our guild is close to having alot of 277 gear. By that time We will be deep in HLK prog and proloy downing him. But this buff kinda takes away that accomplishment. nobody is gonna turn off the buff.
So its okay to passively nerf the heroic fights by getting more gear, but adding a 5% buff is too far?
Just get some practice and gear from killing the boss with the buff, and later on kill it without the buff. Same thing. We’re gonna have like 2 or 3 months after 30% buff before cata comes out, so you’ll have plenty of time to get some no buff pulls in with bis gear.
IDK, maybe the OP is serious, but it reads like a troll.
But assuming OP is serious, as others have noted, the general approach to the buff was announced a while ago, the only new info now is the specific date, which is in line with what we had been told to expect.
