Can you please release naxx already? Aq is boring and naxx has way better fights, cooler gear, and tbc bis prep, we want to farm atiesh and this is taking forever to even get a release date. It should be out so we can farm it til pre patch !!! Release the undead!!!
Cant argue with AQ sucking but I imagine the amount of guilds who have killed Cthun is extremely low, I get that not everyone is entitled to kill Cthun or participate in naxx but it is just a little too soon for Naxx

Releasing Naxx will make those guilds more likely to kill C’thun. They’ll be able to go into Naxx each week and kill a handful of early wing bosses and use that gigagear to go into AQ40 to clean up.
Lets be real, any guild still trying to prog AQ40 is never going to clear Naxx unless they go in there at 70.
Exactly, if you cant kill an eyeball that has one mechanic (chaining beam) in one phase you are doomed in naxx, aq is easy besides optional bosses like visc and ouro that own noobs and bad raids.
i mean it is literally just an eyeball
what can be so difficult about that
so you are asking for preferential treatment because you think you are better than other players? because you rushed through the current content and full cleared AQ 8 times already you are entitled to more content?
Blizz isnt going to release naxx early enjoy mindlessly killing bugs for the next few months

Delete the naxx and aq files
Release a new Scarlet Monastery raid after naxx
TBC prepatch at AQ phase.
I think its silly to act better on a 20 yr old game, if you arent clearing week 1 its because you dont play with semi responsible adults. Wbuffs and consumes are all laid out for everyone and how to push a few buttons and move a little on some bosses. Nothing is hard, thats why boomers play this game. Waiting months to release the final best raid with the best loot right before the next xpac is nonsense. If we didnt know tbc was coming it would be different but we do know so release naxx and farm.
The raids were never meant to be cleared with all the Wbuffs and Consumes, you are basically exploiting the game and then claiming you are bored because you cleared it too fast. I am not saying you wouldn’t have completed the raid week 1 without Wbuffs/consumes because you know the mechanics but the number of guilds clearing AQ week 1 would be extremely small.
Now that I think about it, when was the last time the devs said anything at all? AQ gates opening?

I think the last official dev post had to do with the AQ gates opening too early and they’d be looking into ways to fix it so people could get their Scarab Lords if they missed it lol
That obviously never happened.
Right but even casuals are fully wbuffing lol
Guilds aren’t killing C’thun because AQ40 sucks. It is possibly the worst raid ever released by Blizzard.
The loot is low-mid tier for every single class. The trash is the absolute worst trash in any raid ever. The boss mechanics are uninteresting.
I’ve been doing AQ40 with two guilds, one on Nightslayer and one on Dreamscythe and after our 3rd C’thun kill last week we decided to say F it, the raid isn’t worth the effort of wrangling 40 people through god awful content each week so we’re taking a break until Naxx.
I suspect my Nightslayer guild is about 2 weeks away from the same. Something about disenchanting most of the gear we get the first few weeks really sets the tone.
Maybe if Blizzard had increased the drop rates for loot so it actually felt worth putting in the effort for such low tier content, people might be incentivized to show up.
I feel bad for melee classes wasting gold on consumables for AQ40. It’s like spending money to watch paint dry or grass grow.
I joined a casual guild with my son (its his first classic play through) and Wbuffs/Consumes are not required and if used at all are used for like a boss here or there and thats only if you have them. I also run AQ with another guild because my current guild has only killed Nef 4 times now. my AQ group is 7/9 and has only used WB’s for twin emps. outside of GNPPs, Lips etc nothing is required.
so no not all casual guilds are relying on WBs/Consumes. The focus of a casual guild is to have fun with like minded people.
people in guilds that fully buff kill bosses in 20-40 seconds, healers cast like maybe 5 heals a boss. you put in more effort getting WBs/consumes than you do actually doing the content.

thats cool im happy for you to play as you please im not advocating for hurting casuals, i dont know how naxx releasing now for those of us that are ready to clear it affects a guild like yours that has only killed nef 4 times
Well the new ranking system really pushed this.
If everyone wasn’t rank 14 there would be a bit more of a desire for the AQ 40 gear to make naxx smooth. But now you can go into naxx with ranking gear and BWL and it is fine.
Heck even naxx gear isn’t really that massive of an upgrade besides the weapons and trinkets.
Anniversary players have been basically near bis since bwl.
There should be like 500 rank 14 players but instead there are 50,000 - everything is going to be even more trivial than vanilla already is
Absolutely 100% hitting the nail on the head.
And Blizzard did nothing to mitigate this at all. Just increase boss drops by 2-3 and problem solved but nah… that’s too much fun.
