Raids are gonna be harder than private servers

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I watched a video of a guy that talks about the differences between private servers and concrete blizzard vanilla. A few things I found interesting that for ony/nef head buff, the server will have to wait 2 hours before another head can be dropped, which is gonna make raids more difficult.

Another thing is the cost of flasks…whew boy, that price is going to skyrocket compared to private servers, I mean, I hope not but apparently due to lotus respawn times and places its going to be much more difficult getting flasks around than you will on servers like northdale. Only the most hardcore guilds, that probably has no life, wearing a diaper, and a group of insane wow addicts will be able to kill kel’thuzad in classic (if at all!).

I remember him saying some other stuff but I’ll leave a link to the video so you can check it out for yourself.

But that’s okay…I’m not playing classic to be that hardcore, I’m mostly in for the wpvp and community aspect which is what makes the game truly beautiful, and the best game in the world

@OP, they better be. I also hope it takes several months+ for anyone to get more than a few BiS items from raiding.

At least this time we’ll have all the infinite time to get those bis gear without worrying about that server being shut down =]

I’m most likely not gonna go past bwl if I decide to go raiding

people need to realize that the people clearing NAXX on all these private servers are all the same people mainly. These are the hardcore players doing all this. Your average guild will be no where remotely close to these people.

Many pservers feature buffed content, both HP and damage wise. People have cleared naxx where bosses had up to four times more HP and dealt more damage.

Most of all these servers including all the popular ones also have negative physical resistances on bosses with several debuffs due to it being coded wrong. There is ton of stuff wrong on these servers. Like. alot.

The boss has 4x more health? Probably because the 5 warriors in your group are doing 10x the damage they should be.

Not really, pservers don’t use 1.12 threat as a general thing.

12

How is that, when shield slam costs 20 rage not 30 and the highest threat build is prot/arms.

13

Played on Pservers for years raided up to bwl, But I don’t get these people here that talk about Pservers as something holy and godly.

Always talking about how it can’t be that far off :face_vomiting: pure garbage…

A couple of people who have claimed to be close to the people who maintain the code of the most recent popular private server claim that mob damage and health there is buffed by quite a good bit, and therefore, we can expect that Classic will be incredibly easy in comparison.

I’m just telling you what they say. We shall see.

The reason for that is because of all the wrongly coded mechanics. On northdale you can get bosses to negative armor

Flasks won’t make that much of a difference. As long as tanks have their flask of the titans the rest of the raid doesn’t really need to be flasked up.

Classic mobs were never “incredibly easy” in the first place. You must be thinking of BFA.

I think easy is the wrong word. Maybe straight forward. I think raids will be straight forward no matter what. Every thing is known. However the wildcard os time taken. If mc continues to take 2 to 3 hours even when geared, the guild dynamics and bis will change.

I kind of hope so xD

And yeah, ALL node spawns should be EXACTLY how it was in vanilla.

Everyone having a flask in raid was NOT a thing in vanilla…

Vanilla was easy then…

It’s going to be even easier now.

Another major thing will be that all fight mechanics will work correctly. I’ve seen a lot of pserver videos were certain mechanics that were in classic weren’t implemented at all. Several years ago I played on a private server and I remember one boss fight in a dungeon (I don’t recall which one) was supposed to spawn adds but that mechanic was broken and no adds ever spawned making the fight insanely easy.
