Been working hard as a guild to be ready for 40 man raiding in classic, running 2 solid 20 man teams and 1 extra with a bunch of alts too, all in preparation for 40 man raiding. Now yet again nothing. (cept onyxia, a 5 minute instance)
Can we at least choose please blizzard. Is it all 20 man the rest of sod? Or should we continue to prep for the eventual 40 man.
It would be so much easier to organize our week with just 1 40 man, and we’d finally all get to play together.
Socially awkward casuals. Sorry bud.
They’re catering the to sweaty cliques like they have for retail.
I just want to know how to plan the guild for this phase and phase 5 and 6.
Sucks not knowing if we need to continue recruiting to keep the roster ready for 40 man content
Onyxia is 40 man
but the unhinged man children told me 40 mans would kill SoD + muh 10 mans
we need 40 man raids
They should just have incremental raiding where the bigger raids drop more loot but you can do the raid with any 5 increment of people from 10-40
Like 10 man is 1x, 15 man x2, 20 man, x3, 25man x4, 30man x5, 35man x6, 40man x7
Also make a legendary item per boss that increases in likelyhood of dropping exponentially as well with more people
10 man 5% chance, 15 man 10%, 20man 20%, 25man 40%, 30man 80%, 35 man 160%, 40 man 320% so 40 man raids drop three legendaries and encourage people to have larger raid teams
THIS IS NOT RETAIL omg !!! legendary per boss
FACEPALM
Actually Onyxia is 40 man. Going forward they also said they’d be focused on 40 man content.
THREE legendaries?
LOL!!
Aight somewhat legit complaint, lol
However make the item you need to craft the legendary drop at those rates and have different ones for different classes.
And reduce it so its only garaunteed one legendary per boss if 40man.
hyad we are asking for 40 man raids not legendaries omg
They can’t tell you because they don’t know.
Right but dont shoehorn but incentivize people to do 40 mans, since the 10-20 man retail crowd will be back out here inforce if we just have most all the raids be 40.
I agree that I think 40 mans are a classic staple but make it possible without every guild needing to get 40 people some can do 10 some can do 40.
Incentivize people to group for 40 man raids
You can still get the Legendary in a 10man but the chance will be like 10%-20% whereas in the 40man it will be 100%.
People get epic’d out in a few weeks with their badge system, which is a good system, and having something further to strive for in raiding is encouraging and incentivizing.
So many of my guilds (originally 12 rosters) (down to 3 rosters rn) disappeared bc everyone got the gear and only wanted to parse.
So having a legendary per 40 man boss will keep people coming back
That’s a 5 minute thing… I mean a real raid
go and play retail if u need a legendary in every raid
Going forward… When? Spent all of phase 3 keeping our roster going and healthy. To just wait another phase for… Eventually maybe
My guess is BWL which will release in 2-3 weeks after MC.
EDIT: don’t get me wrong there’s plenty to be mad at, but the 40 man isn’t it. I’m more pissed that the full class design 50-60 doesn’t REALLY change all that much. They wanted us to wait for balances whenever there’s just not much that actually changes? BS
1 legendary craftable item drop per 40 people isnt alot.
What do you have to say to all of the parsers who abandoned ship in droves once they got geared?
Whats there to incentivize them to keep turning up for raids besides they like the people and raiding in general? Of course it doesnt have to be legendaries but it has to be an incentive that the player feels is good and not a chore (like runes sometimes)
Sod is down to 50,000 raiders from hundreds of thousands
