Implement a Super Hard mode for all raids (a new option)

You okay?

Your game seems a little off.

I don’t see a need. Your guild or PUG could do this themselves.

Don’t bring them

Require players in your guild/raid with world buffs, etc to click them off.

Players also follow guides to find their “BiS” talents and equipment. Paladins and warriors could wear plate only. Shamans and hunters in mail, only. This would make stacking certain stats harder to do.

Allowing the “meme specs” in your raid (and I’m talking about more than one or two) will also increase the challenge.

I’m just keeping it real dude

No need for all that. Tune the raids and dungeons to require proper mechanics. Get rid of this world buff nonsense. There, difficulty is back.

Smallhead-arugal · March 31, 2021, 8:01pm

There are no gdkps that allow no world buffs without penalties. If you dont bring world buffs.
Get ready to get nothing.

And I don’t think you understand the concept of 99% of players dont know how to start their own raid and organize everyone and know all the boss fights and never will and will most likely quit. This option prevents quitters and gives flexibility.

Most likely your approach scares them away. They would rather buy gold and pay tens of thousands of gold to buy bindings than lead and get it for free because they dont know how to. They are not raid leaders and dont have the knowledge to lead.

Cater to these people you have more subs and make the game more challenging.

You don’t need Blizz to create new systems so you don’t feel compelled to get world buffs. You literally have to do NOTHING to accomplish that.

Érathar-sargeras · April 1, 2021, 2:50am

That is my point Mr. 5head

Palla-arugal · April 1, 2021, 3:09am

big head lmao

Ronno-arugal · April 1, 2021, 3:28am

That is a very large head indeed

It’s technically true that including uninformed, lazy, and unreliable players in your raid increases the difficulty. But that’s not the type of difficulty most people, and ESPECIALLY NOT RAID LEADERS like. If you make it more difficult to figure out who’s got a clue, you’re not going to get more accepting PUGs; you’re going to lose the PUGs you’ve got.

99% of gdkp raids have no world buff penalties.

There are rarely any naxx gdkps for naxx on my server so good luck finding one that doesnt have any no world buff penalties. And about 10% of people can lead. Even if they arent lazy, they are just not leaders. They arent good at it.

That option allows flexible gdkps so other raiders will be tempted to not use world buffs and therefore there will be more formed gdkps with NO PENALTIES. So the guy who was never good at leading can feel free to join one without losing 2000g in a naxx raid.

The dream would be to raid with no add-ons or world buffs and to wipe endlessly until the guild got it… learning mechanics on the progression. Unfortunately this is not allowed in good guilds. You either study ahead of time and use all the tools available or you get a wall of text from your officer asking you why you didn’t flask on pull.

retails raid really that hard?

Cauchy-heartseeker · April 1, 2021, 10:59am

Heroic can be challenging for a lot. Mythic + are extra hard. Earning the Cutting Edge title can be rough.
