Could be you have account wide achievements disabled. Under Social in the game Interface options.
No, you I believe. Petdetective I do not. There’s a difference, since you’re at least cognisant the scenarios are unbalanced. Meaning you’ve interacted with them and have 2 eyes.
I’m sorry but if you think everybody in this game can just practice and get better to that level of play, then that is naïve. People have skill caps, sure they can push past it some but everyone has limits. No matter how much I practice, I’d never be able to compete with guys in limit or echo or pvp gladiators.
I doubt it. I’ve never messed with those settings ever. Also like I said you can see other account wide achieves I’ve done not on priest. I think I just need to log in and out to force update the armory, but I’m at work atm. Will see if it works tomorrow.
I felt the Prot Paladin one was a bit on the easy side honestly =/ I haven’t tried any other tanks aside from Prot Paladin and Guardian Druid. But this is just our opinion. So who does Blizzard listen to when it comes to tuning? You or me? We both pay the same $15 a month.
So who do they tune it to?
Negative, you’re tuning to a class. I’m talking about the customer. Do we tune it to the number 1 Frost Mage in the world, or do we tune it to the Prot Paladin who doesn’t realize he has an invulnerability ability? This is the “who” that I’m talking about.
Also hard to keep it a challenge in a sea of “I can’t do this, nerf it!”
See, this is what I felt. It was challenging. It took me around 100 pulls (120ish or so, didn’t really keep track), with a lot of sub 5% runs. Most of my deaths came from panicking or getting overly excited which caused me to screw up. And yet people are claiming this is the hardest challenge out there.
If that’s the case, I fall into the category of “leave it alone” - especially if every other challenge is considered easier
Don’t bother too much, like I said, unlike Grincel and Petdetective, I have no problem believing you actually did them since you know, you recognize basic facts about their balancing being off.
We can disagree whether they should be balanced or not and discuss which adjustments would be warranted or not. What I dislike about Classic toons like Petdetective is that they blatantly pretend there are 0 differences and just says “I did it it’s all fine” when it’s obvious he doesn’t even know how the fight works (thinking Arcane phase on Xylem is the intermission, rather than the Arcane Barrage/Draw Power phase).
It’s not really a cap if you can push past it now is it lol?
What level of play? It’s a scripted encounter that requires you to utilize a good portion of your class toolkit.
Yes I truly believe anyone that isn’t handicapped or something can get to that level with practice. The Limit and Echo guys, or the gladiators will certainly do it in less pulls than you…and let’s be honest here…me as well, but anyone can get there if they put in the practice.
Like…what’s stopping you from learning? I get that it can take people longer than others, and if you have bad habits it can feel very frustrating while you try to break them, but at the end of the day anyone can overcome their challenge with persistence and hard work.
Frost Mage is already fair I think. I think it in fact should be the benchmark for twins, not the butchered fight Aff now gets post-“nerf” where it’s harder than it was with the super cheese strat that most Aff locks did it as (and I regret not getting on that train now).
There’s plenty of good posts with tons of information and numbers to provide good comparison.
The problem is that Blizzard is on Holiday and just won’t engage on any topics with the community to begin with anyway.
Took me about the same amount of pulls. Most of my deaths came from being blazed irl and just not kicking twisting reflection, or getting hit with an annihilate and 1 shot because I was 0.0001 seconds late on popping the orb. I seriously did this SO MANY TIMES.
I honestly could have done the bear challenge in 40 pulls if I wasn’t hard inting so much. At one point I tried changing strat from playing mighty bash and getting 2 infernals to trying to play HOTW and push 1 infernal. After an hour of wiping and unsuccessfully pushing 1 infernal I went back to mighty bash to find that I could no longer push 2 infernal. #regression
So why are we going with your version of tuning and what you think needs tweaked? This is the question I want answered when I ask “who do we use as the standard for a challenge”.
Why you. Why don’t we nerf it for someone who can’t beat it yet? Or make it harder for someone who completed it in a lot less pulls than you?
Not being snarky, just trying to elaborate on what it is I’m trying to get across is all.
You’re discounting literally everyone that doesn’t agree with you. Even the ones that don’t have classic characters or whatever, and you fail to understand how tuning works. You are thinking about this in selfish binaries.
The only spec I genuinely consider to be kind of gimped in this content is Holy Priest, and even then it’s probably fine. The fact of the matter is that anyone with working eyes, hands, and a brain can complete these challenges with enough effort. I really only play 1 class and role but was more than able to complete challenges on classes and roles that I don’t.
I can’t speak for the Havoc DH challenge (which all my DH friends have completed and I haven’t heard any complaints) but I was able to do Holy Priest (The only one I’ve heard complains about from friends) when I have only ever really played shadow in the small amount of time I’ve spent on this class and definitely do not heal, and I’m not some kind of godtier player.
That should be enough to tell you that all of this doable. It took me a long time and a lot of attempts of gradually getting better at both the spec and challenge (Which is one of the most satisfying feelings you can have in this game, it’s depressing to me that people are missing out on this due to giving up easily) but I got it done and so can anyone else.
No, just the ones that use sweeping generalizations. Others I’m engaging with by providing figures and numbers and comparisons. You know, discussing things on a forum.
They can literally tune these on a spec by spec basis. Since you know : they’re tuned on a spec by spec basis.
So no, I don’t misunderstand how tuning works.
Then you can’t exactly provide a rebuttal to my argument can you ?
