It’s expected of the player to do basic levels of research to understand the mechanics and their class. You are playing with pugs which means higher individual accountability. Additionally, +11s are beyond M+ rewards so it’s crazy to me that you are saying this many people go into them without knowing the most basic mechanics. There are some mechanics that are much more nuanced, but key affixes are not.
I didn’t say it does. My point was simply that it’s wild that people in +11s don’t know basic mechanics that’s been on rotation 3 or 4 times now.
That depends on your definition of the word “basic”. Stay out of the fire? Yeah. Don’t stand in front of the dragon when he blows fire? Yeah. Knowing all the solutions to every affix like this? No, not in my view.
Just because YOU may know something doesn’t mean the rest of us do.
It’s a +11. Affixes are basic. Again, this isn’t a low key. The expectation at this key range is for you to have done your part to understand the mechanics to not be the 5th affix.
You are being your usual self and doubling down on something you know is wrong.
It’s a fact that +11s are above rewards. It’s a fact that it’s expected of players in pugs to know the mechanics and to be prepared for that key level. You not knowing something as basic as affixes means you are not ready or doing your part.
There is no solution other than doing your own homework. You know that there are going to be something called affixes. You know that they rotate weekly. You knowing all of that and choosing to be willfully ignorant and go into +11 keys is nothing short of inting.
Yes both are helpful but I’ve been yelled at for either not dispelling myself or for not interrupting things. I can’t juggle 2 pets and do DPS at the same time. Takes time and resources away from DPSing to do both and if they both happen to overlap its not possible. So I’m stuck getting yelled at for one problem or another. If I don’t remove it healer gets angry at having to do their role, if I don’t kick everyone else complains cause I didn’t do my job. It’s a no win scenario. The only other one that can’t remove it easy is Warriors with a 3 Min CD to remove theirs if they talent into the skill to begin with.
It’s called a simple google search or asking someone in game. Or even mouse over when it happens for 3-4 weeks.
It’s “being a game” is downplaying it severely. You are joining content that is beyond rewards and is meant to be challenging. How old is WoW? It’s standard practice to look up mechanics and boss fights.
Try to follow along. If you entered the dungeon before knowing about the basic mechanics then you already are in the wrong. This was the point. You should have looked it up or asked before joining or starting the run.
Are you serious? “Every single affix” as if you can’t look at a page of 4 rotating affixes. LOLLLLLLLLL
Wrong again as usual. NO ONE is going to google search or ask about every single affix and the solution to them. That’s not happening.
I know it’s a hard concept to be courteous and just explain to people what the affix can be and how to counter them at the beginning of the dungeon, but hey, it’s you.
Just because you didn’t doesn’t mean nearly everyone else doesn’t especially for high-end content. Again, we are not talking about low keys here. No one expects low-tier content players to look up mechanics. This is +11 keys.
Once again. I already stated that it’s a good thing to be courteous; however, you should have known something as basic as key affixes in +11 keys. Literally insane.
Just because YOU may do it doesn’t mean everyone else does. And according to many people here complaining that players aren’t using their dispel like I wasn’t, it makes me tend to believe that they may not know the solution either.
You? Really??
What’s insane that you cannot comprehend that people may not know a solution until it’s easily explained as a courtesy from other players.
This guy has a thing for me. He has a history of doubling down and digging heels in purposefully out of spite. Even admitted it.
No, many people complaining here are not doing +11 keys. They are stuck in elo-hell. You are not in their boat, you are worse.
You keep repeating that it’s crazy to expect people to look up “every affix” when it’s literally 3 affixes that rotate weekly. Are you telling me it’s too much work to look up 3 affixes one time in the season? Trolling is what you are doing by going in to keys you are not prepared for. A 1 minute read would prevent a 30 minute waste of time from a key bricking.
What’s worse is that you went through multiple weeks of each affix and still didn’t understand how they function.
I help people who are genuine about it. I’ve ran multiple people through keys who come for help without blaming every external factor. The people I’m blunt with are those like you who are willfully ignorant.
Absolutely. People SHOULD know, but I’m not harsh on people who don’t know every mechanic of the game. If they make a mistake once and then told what their mistake was and they learn from it, no harm no foul, $%!+ happens.
Let’s be more specific: I’m NOT looking up every mechanic, that includes affixes, to play the game. If you’re that rigid that you can’t understand simply explaining to players the solution to certain problems, that’s on you.
You’re petty to people you don’t like. You yourself already admitted this.
