Legacy Content

When will this be fixed? I really want to play this game, but the things I want to do I cannot do solo. It’s been 2+ years since Shadowlands ruined legacy content, and at the time only Legion was affected. Now, both Legion and BfA are affected by the stupidity of the level/stat squish. You can be upwards of 200+ iLvls and 20 actual levels above Mythic Ny’alotha… but there is literally no way for you to actually solo that content.

Legion is 3 expansions behind. BfA is 2 expansions behind.

When can we expect them to finally fix legacy content? When will I be able to do the things I want to do? I really want to play. I really do, but when I log in and try to go do these old time raids I simply can’t. Its heartbreaking. I really want to do it, yet the game itself is preventing me from easily doing this legacy content. They could spare the development resources to bring Mage Tower back… yet they can’t spare resources to actually fix and make legacy content enjoyable to the solo player? I just want to play.

“Players do 50,000x damage in legacy content. Players take 50,000x less damage in legacy content.”

Fixed. I’ll take my paycheck Blizzard.

Bro if you can’t solo mythic legion at this point, it’s a you issue

Was soloable last xpac

You can solo basically most of BFA on heroic now, probably will be able to brute force mythic later on (except for maybe 3? Bosses who require 2 people)

To certain classes, most of Legion was and is easy to solo. I agree. However, if you have certain classes you won’t be able to easily do that. Take Mythic Eonar, I have tried and tried and tried to do this fight on my Warlock. I simply can’t. I hit this part of that raid, and I simply have to stop. I can’t solo it.

I don’t know which class you’re playing, but if this Death knight is the character you run then of course things are going to be easier for you. You can self-heal better than most classes, and are a melee class.

You shouldn’t have to Brute force anything that is legacy content. It’s over 4 years old now. Why isn’t it just like how Legacy content used to function prior to stupidlands and there was a legacy content buff? You’d walk into a legacy raid, and barely had any issues besides some of the bosses with stupid mechanics (Heck most bosses would die before needing a full rotation of your abilities).

It’s been done by warlocks

Legion and BFA doesn’t do any damage except for the 1 shots, what healing do you need

Cleared heroic Eternal Palace yesterday and didn’t use any healing abilities

That’s literally how all legacy content is done, unless you’re doing all the mechanics for some reason

Why are you fighting against making legacy content easier? The way it was before Shadowlands? It is nothing but a win for everyone involved. Yet, you continuously point out “Lol skill issue.” “I was able to do it easily.” That’s cool. Good for you man. I’m glad that you are able to do this. Why can’t we make it so more people, myself included, can also easily do this?

I’d very much like to know how you cleared Heroic Eternal palace solo yesterday? Considering the council bosses requires you to literally separate them. *Unless you spent an ungodly amount of time just standing there, and self-healing, to finally down them given their 99% damage reduction they have standing together.

*Just looked, he’s a blood death knight… Explains everything.

BfA content is scaled to 60 so players can do the 50-60 grind there and skip SL entirely. Unfortunately that means the raids, too. The stat squish doesn’t have anything to do with it, thankfully. Or sadly. However you want to look at it.

I didn’t do it on a lock, other people have, clearly it’s doable

Worst case just do the boss 4 times with a single friend and never do it again

Unholy has a pet, keeps them separated

As I stated above, most of them can just be rolled over except for a few, the council boss being one (mythraxx or whatever it’s spelled is another cuz of the minds control, but a bit more gear and you can kill him before he casts it)

You would actually be an idiot to do them as a tank cuz they do no damage

they will never do it because they don’t care.

Legion already has a legacy buff. It has since the end of BfA, when the level squish happened. How do so many people still not realize that they’re dealing more damage in Legion instances than they are outside of them? Legion is scaled differently than expansions prior to it, yes, but there is absolutely a legacy buff in play even at level 50. It only gets easier by level 60 and especially now by level 70.

Of course, some encounters are about more than just ‘hit boss once and collect loot’, even if the legacy buff was that extreme. Of course you mention Eonar, which is the new Spine of Deathwing apparently in that you have to actually do the encounter ‘properly’ no matter how much gear you have. It’s already been adjusted a few times to make it actually soloable, but changes like this that involve mechanics tend to take a while to implement since unlike the legacy buff, it takes more than essentially flipping a switch on Blizzard’s end.
