Why did you guys have to break the scaling in Korrak’s Revenge?
Last week NPCs were incredible dangerous and hard hitting. HP pools and stats were scaled down a bit as well. Now the NPCs are entirely not threatening.
The game mode is now nearly identical to a normal AV, except for no resources and some more easy to kill/bypass mobs who hit like wet noodles.
It’s a real shame because there are literally dozens of us who enjoy the large scale Epic BGs that last a long time, and require you grinding it out with the team.
Hate to see it changed to being a boss race after one week of having it be good.
Korrak’s hasn’t been fun since the 2019 version imo
That one had “something for everyone”:
“tourist” types and casuals used it to speed-level alts
PvP lovers used it for long matches and big numbers on the scoreboard
TW twinker types could min-max their twink like crazy
the built-in “scaling” meant you could play it with anyone (friend, family, guildie, etc) with 0 prep - a level 120 could group with his level 35 buddy, queue, and just jump right in
It’s kinda annoying how they randomly nerf most of the fun stuff in this game (and I’m pretty sure no players even asked for said nerfs?). Not really any good reason to play Korrak’s in 2024 since it’s so watered down now
It helps actually, I know it’s not great to have a dumbed down version of it for reasons, but it also helps in that we can actually win this now instead of having games go on for 2 hours.
I had a match earlier that was at a stalemate, the horde would just not let us past the first tower and because it is a bottleneck we could not go around either, had to wait like 30 minutes for a gap when our team all pushed at the same time to get a few through.
But once we did, we started recapping graveyards and made our way down into their base where they were forced to split and defend, and by the time they got enough back down we had killed them enough and got most of our team down there to actually win the game.
Then don’t effing play it? The WoW community is the only one I’ve ever encountered who thinks that game modes they don’t like should be ruined for the people who do like them just so they can hold their nose and get rewards for doing it.
Do you have any idea how entitled this mindset is?
About as entitled as the one requiring it to remain as difficult as the day it was launched 20 years ago. I’ve been playing arenas all day for those last 10 tokens, and I just don’t see the appeal. But if I want to do the anniversary stuff, I go for it without complaint. But celebrating a NERF is not a complaint, so I am not sure what your problem is. I am over the moon about nerfing a 20 year old BG the same way 20 year old PvE content has been nerfed. If I can one shot Ragnaros… in Firelands (Cataclysm), I should certainly be able to one shot some Orcs in Alterac Valley. Simmer down and breathe. It is just a game.
You realize that that is the entire POINT of Korrak’s revenge, correct? To be as close as possible to the original vanilla version of Alterac Valley? That’s what it was designed as. if you want easy AV, go play modern AV. But of course you want the rewards from Korrak’s revenge. Hence, the entitlement.
And don’t tell me to simmer down, loser. Or what, you gonna bring up your irl pay again?
That one line right there shows you completely missed the entire point of the mode.
The whole point of Classic AV is the long battle, not the race to each other’s boss where 90% of the objectives are ignored while both factions wave at one another as they pass in the Field of Strife.
Well, since we are all over powered, and TW dungeons are a breeze… and those are also “Classic”, it would make sense to throttle back on the BG as well. Also, why are you so hostile? If the truth is bothering you that much, maybe you need a break from the forums or something. Maybe grab some water or walk the dog? You just seem super intense over something as innocuous as a 20 year old battle ground.
Its an EVENT LIMITED BG. Why does it matter if they nerfed the npcs by a bit? AV still exists, does it not? This change may actually get me to partake in, and actually finish, korraks revenge for the tokens. probably not, but maybe.
