Old raids no longer soloable

:frowning: that’s pretty messed. Have you raised a ticket on it by any chance? Might be the next step to get it addressed.

I feared this would happen.

I took some time off when the final patch bored the hell out of me, I worried about not being able to farm mogs when I jumped back in. Knew I should have farmed a bit longer before taking a break.

Most of my 50 toons didn’t even have corruption, I cleansed it asap, they were all around 445-450 range and I was doing emissaries on them for months now. Today they can’t even kill some of these old 8.0 WQ mobs. I imagine 8.2 and 8.3 ones are impossible.

Did people seriously didn’t think this would happen?

I expected it.

Some people said me and people like were negative jaded types. I said even legion rescaling had WoD get bad in some spots.

Some spots in WoD even in bfa time 1 or 2 mobs had wtf scaling. LIke I have dropped mythic Blackhand fast enough he never even breaks floor 1. And here is this open world mob…taking way longer to die than him.

People are dumb, always happens and people always think won’t be a problem. The previous gear re-scaling caused problems too as did the introduction of scaling world mobs.

I am so glad I got Midnight’s reins 2 days ago, I’d be pissed if I couldn’t farm it after the squish.

So it’s not just me… was trying to do some WQ in Naz and I died a few times which doesn’t happen lol I hope they work the kinks out soon.

Sounds like an interesting scene in a movie.

Black Temple and ICC fell over as usual. It’s not all old raids. Perhaps just some previous expansion mythics?

This has happened every time they’ve done a squish. Instead of adding a buff to the player so you can maintain similar power levels in obsolete content they rather force you to have to buy the expansion and level up again to keep what you already had…

Legion got shafted. It got deemed not legacy raid. even though from an SL perspective its 2 expacs back. Wrath and such they let be in some way it seems.

Its like BFA screw over part 2, Attack of the SL. It took till 8.3 to turn on legacy loot. We get that and SL prepatch said yeah…lets make legion suck again for you.

We haven’t always been able to trivialize the most difficult bosses of the prior expansion so quickly. Personally, I’m fine if people are struggling with Legion mythic raids.

From a Shadowlands perspective, we’ve got 10 levels to go before level cap. Right now, our classes are not even complete. If the issue of Legion raids persists at level 60, I’d be more concerned.

Just a bit of advice, you can just put ` before and after the link. You do not have to remove parts of it. I mean, blizzard even says this in their quick guide to the forums.

I only had problems with Legion raids until I started getting gear at the first raid tier’s heroic level. After that I have had zero issues soloing any mythic legion raids except for the last one.
Other old raid were never a problem on any difficulty…

I’m concerned now because farming those raids is how I’ve been passing the time.

Okay first of all, a level 120 mob is not trivial, at least by the definition of the game.
Second of all, I can not believe that any character can struggle to kill a mob in the open world regardless of what has changed.

I have leveled multiple characters naked, and recently, naked with no specialization, and there were an extremely small pool of mobs that were off the table for me.

If this isn’t some exaggeration, your problem likely has to do with class changes or other things not related to the squish.
Or a specific mob is bugged.

The entirety of this patch is a hot mess frankly. Old raids aren’t scaling correctly, Chromie Time is kind of garbage with how they worked it out, heirlooms aren’t that great now, LFD is extremely limited to the expac you chose to level in, allied races got nothing for customization, damage by some classes in BGs is off the wall…etc.

It’s a hot mess and if SL is more of this I’ll probably just skip it.

HAH I expected this patch to break scaling in old raids. Not even surprised. All I want to do is farm Mythic Antorus but not gonna happen still.

With the extremely limited content they added, they should have had this on point. Unless Blizzard has dropped an entire development team, they have been working on this since this particular team stopped working on Legion. I am sorry, but 26 months after BfA launch they should have had a better product update than what we got yesterday.
