So as per tradition for every tier, as things slow down. I’m remaking this post.
Blizzard please remove this stupid 100 Horde , 100 Alliance mythic clear gate. The world race is over , open up cross realm mythic already please . ALSO
CHANGE the mythic lockout to locking you to a group of you secure a kill with that group. There is no reason players should have to risk locking themselves to a group that can’t get a mythic kill. Make it so that you are able to join as many mythic groups as you want however, once you kill a boss with a group then you are locked to that specific group .
Not to be to critical but the way the post was written I could not understand what you were trying to get across. Are you wanting multiple mythic lockouts?
Nope not multiple lockouts . But currently if you join a group that already has downed a boss you have to decide if you wanna lock yourself to their lockout. Then say that group isn’t able to kill anything else your now stuck for the rest of the week and can’t mythic raid.
What I was saying is your character should only get locked to a group if that group kills a boss while your present. You should not have to lock yourself to a group that already killed a boss in order to join them
5 alliance guilds have cleared SoTFO on Mythic while for horde 61 . If blizzard keeps cross realm mythic gated to 100 guilds on each faction , we will not be seeing Cross realm mythic any time soon
With cross faction coming in 9.1.5 I think it’s clear that the hall of fame experiment to try and entice some guilds to go alliance has failed.
It’s time for HoF to have no influence on when cross realm mythic occurs, which should be day 1 now with cross faction which will be community based (cross realm) rather than guild based (realm only) due to no cross faction guilds.
Couldn’t agree more. Hall of Fame was supposed to encourage guilds to go Alliance, but instead it just resulted in an even sharper decline in the number of competent Alliance guilds willing to remain Alliance in the first place.
Of the top 100 guilds in the world right now, nine are Alliance and four of those are OCE. 24 of the top 100 guilds in the US are Alliance, but only thirteen of those have gotten past Anduin and there are only 25 Alliance guilds worldwide that have gotten past Anduin all the same. My guild is Alliance 152nd worldwide and we weren’t even able to kill Mythic Halondrus last weekend for some ungodly reason, and there are nearly 600 Horde guilds that exceed our progression, be they 11/11M or 7/11M. A 2-day guild like mine shouldn’t be within even a hundred spots of reaching Hall of Fame yet we somehow are because so many Alliance guilds have gone Horde or disbanded over the last couple years.
And the M+ scene is even more dire than that: I stopped pushing keys on my Shadow Priest somewhat recently in favor of basically getting 3k for free on a Survival Hunter and my crappy 3068 score is still 138th in the world among all Alliance SPriests and 41st among all Alliance US SPriests, and last season I was 27th in the world among all Alliance SPriests, barely making top 75 worldwide since nearly 50 Horde players were better than me on that front, and I literally stopped pushing keys after reaching 2783 because that was slightly above the Alliance cutoff. The Horde cutoff would’ve been nearly 100 points higher and the keys I needed to make said cutoff were shockingly easy.
Even now, there are maybe a dozen or two Alliance SPriest players at my level across all NA servers, discounting OCE, and I’d barely be a top 300 SPriest as soon as Horde is factored into the equation because there’s very little reason for a competent player to stay Alliance unless they’re OCE or in a very heavy-hitting guild like Consequence, Vindicatum, or SOMA in this region.
You could make Alliance racials a damn 10% DPS increase from where they are now, and Dwarf is objectively broken in M+ right now, and it would do nothing to fix the problem. The fact of the matter is simple: Stoneform/Fireblood and Shadowmeld will forever be the second-best and third-best racials in the game, simply because every Horde race has access to the racial that gives them 90% of the playerbase to play with.
I always thought this was a wild restriction. As someone who is directly affected by this too…Literally cannot raid with folks on Thrall just because of this, and they are really in the hunt for a MW. I could at least wait a “reasonable” amount of time being Horde, but let’s be honest. 100 guilds on Alliance aren’t getting CE within the next 2 months.
Even as Horde though, we are what, entering week 10 of this tier…restricting Mythic to realms only is such a stupid thing that does nothing but force guilds to form conglomerate communities on just a handful of servers. Of all the things Blizzard has done to the game, this is without a doubt the game’s largest failure.
Amen to that. We need this topic to be shared and presented more. Like honestly what is blizzard afraid off? Some random pug getting world first or something before top guilds ?
Or are they afraid that with cross realm mythic opening up faster guilds will fall apart since people can just pug it?
Well I for one can assure Blizzard that although I raid lead a lot of pugs, when it comes to Mythic , guild coordination tops all
should really just take the stats of completion over the past like 8 patches for when they did open up cross realm, and then use that as a reference instead of 100/100.
It’s not so much that people just pug it. You realistically aren’t pugging Mythic Jailer. But this restriction does 100% have a stranglehold on guilds trying to recruit players. Lower population servers just have an immensely difficult time getting folks to raid with them.
This just forces entire guilds to transfer to higher pop servers, which just further causes the player base to be conglomerated around just a handful of servers where the chosen faction is the majority simply because this strategy gives the best accessibility to play with other players.
Just open up the flood gates. The population of raiders has been dwindling for a while now, blizzard cannot continue to needlessly divide the player base like this. Not even from a technical standpoint is going to bail them out here.
I can already play with others from any server just by inviting them to my group. Mythic raiding is the only “restriction” until they change a boolean value that says otherwise.
Yeah, cross faction should have happened years ago. This is usually the result when you have a split playerbase, like every time. Blizzard should have known this was going to happen based on individual servers alone. Even having the perception that one side is better will cause people to shift over to that side.
The cross faction thing was just a kneejerk reaction to the fact the overall population of players has dropped off the map. Your average, everyday Joe Alliance player isn’t going to shell out a ton of cash to move to the faction that has enough players to do the content they would like to do, they are just going to straight up quit. Combine that with the normal expansion drop off, you have a recipe for a playerbase only a fraction of what it started out as at expansion launch. There was more content being run at the end of BFA than what is going on right now, and Shadowlands hasn’t even officially ended yet lol.
With them adding cross fraction, I’m hoping they’ll finally admit that HoF didn’t entice anyone to go Alliance like they may have hoped.
Cross realm should be active day 1 in DF and going forward. It’s literally the only since thing in the entire game not cross server, and they make it cross server later.
And probably change the lockout as well because the current method of reach boss X then lockout extend for months is kind of stupid.
Yeh , right now I believe it’s 90+ Horde guilds that have cleared Mythic SoTFO and I believe it’s only 9 alliance guilds that cleared it. So at this rate xrealm mythic won’t be happening for a long time, that’s even if it happens. Majority of alliance etc are all going Horde now .
BLIZZARD REMOVE THIS STUPID RESTRICTION AND LET US XREALM MYTHIC FROM THE GATES
