Islands.. yikes

Eretflex-area-52 · October 14, 2020, 4:23am

holy crap… even with three geared people… took much longer than it should.

You still run Islands? I think I stopped running them by patch 8.2 or something.

Eretflex-area-52 · October 14, 2020, 4:25am

wanted to see how it was. I have one or two mounts left to get from them.

Thequixote-staghelm · October 14, 2020, 4:27am

To be fair, being able to pull the whole damn island and AOE it down without even having a dedicated tank was probably not intended.

Kaurmine-area-52 · October 14, 2020, 5:20am

Still drop mounts and unique mog still got to run them

Kaurmine-area-52 · October 14, 2020, 5:21am

I’m sure they anticipated it since that’s been the game for years

Burkkins-moon-guard · October 14, 2020, 5:23am

Good for you?

I heard heroic was a nightmare and Mythic was unplayable from a friend.

Eretflex-area-52 · October 14, 2020, 5:27am

Heroic felt like it took 3x longer than it should’ve

Gonna take some time to work out the scaling. BFA content was never designed with this squish in mind and its going to take them a while to fix everything correctly. The “it should be hard, you can’t just pull the whole island” crowd doesn’t really get it. It’ll get smoothed out eventually.

But but but… Warlock! Who needs a tank?

Neocamp-tichondrius · October 14, 2020, 5:31am

I completed my three mythic islands without issue today. Tho they seemed to take slightly longer i attribute that to the two pugs. The only thing that really slows it down for me at all is the aoe cap.

Kawaifu-stormrage · October 14, 2020, 5:34am

Maybe they should not create braindead content then. Now it’s still braindead and tedium but takes longer.

Edgyjojomeme-nathrezim · October 14, 2020, 5:41am

so they’re finally have some difficulty like they supposed to from the start, eh?

Clayd-moon-guard · October 14, 2020, 5:43am

/shrug

Not my 15 a month, chief. Just reporting what they’re telling me.

Hulksalot-thrall · October 14, 2020, 5:44am

They were difficult before everyone was running around in end of xpac gear. Now we have the same gear and the content is difficult again. If you can’t see why this would bug some people then I don’t have the crayons or the time to try to explain it to you.

Imoen-farstriders · October 14, 2020, 5:45am

In 8.1 probably not, but by this point in the power curve?

There’s also really no argument to be made that they were fixed anyway, they’re just broken.

Thequixote-staghelm · October 14, 2020, 5:48am

There is no good argument that we should ever be able to pull 20 mobs and whack them down.

It’s an absurdity we’ve been normalized to.

Hulksalot-thrall · October 14, 2020, 5:53am

Ah yes, the ability to tank an old god without heals for a few minutes vs 30 pirates mobbing you is exactly the same power wise. Gotcha.

Why would anyone ever be doing islands?
