Season of Discovery Developer Update - Feb 27, 2024

Honestly i think you guys need to increase gold from Max level quests… You all have been over pricing everything from new recipes, to the shadow pearls at 75g for a second, like really?. I don’t understand how people make so much gold, unless they are buying it. : / I sell as much as i can, and i never manage to get over 30ish gold, and yet i know people on the server im on have 100s some 1000s. Like how? DX

Once we get to 60, I would love to see either some form of “hard mode” or just to have the difficulty scaled up for just one of the raids. It doesn’t have to be anything ridiculous with a bunch of crazy mechanics, maybe just a big red button that turns all of the npc values up to 11. A mount or a cosmetic item like the sunglasses from Gnomer would be a nice bonus.

Pity.
That might have kept the most players somewhat satisfied.

So…a heroic version?
That could be interesting.
To me anyway.

Thanks for braving the lion’s den, Aggrend.
Please keep this kind of communication going.
It’s appreciated.

20 player is the bare minimum any raid should ever be. 40 player raids are iconic and to convert MC to 20 player raid is frankly ridiculous.

40 player raids that take a couple hours with 7 day lockouts are what make vanilla wow epic.

Personally, I’d rather not relive the “actually getting 40 people online” raid boss.

Are flex raids not an option?

Thank you for changing 40man to 20mans at 60.

20man raids at 50 is interesting assuming it’s a level raid once again. I assume this will remain as a 3 day lockout?

It’s most likely going to be based off Season of Mastery versions.

Hi, really appreciate everything your team has done and how you’ve kept us updated throughout the process. It has been a great experience so far.

In regards to the 40 man raiding being essential to classic, I agree. They were essential to classic, but we just experienced that 4 years ago and there is a place where individuals can still enjoy that.

By creating the current raids and adding the mechanics that your team has, you have already made the game much more challenging (no soda and pretzels for many) but in a great way. I think that this version of the game (sod) is not really made for the super casual player who can hop into a 40 man and be carried, and that’s okay.

My opinion is that you should continue with the level of difficulty of gnomeregan but cap future raids at 20. The raid size appeals to the “soda and pretzels” audience while still providing a challenge that we have to get over together.

And just for reference, my guild Second Breakfast, took about 2.5 months to kill Muru in TBC classic. We are the same guild - still relatively casual.

If they are going 20, it’s probably going to have more than 5 bosses… if it’s either Sunken Temple or Blackrock Depths, those places have 10+ bossses.

Could also be Maraudon.

I’d expect a weekly reset.

We both know which one you were speaking of.

news flash, with lvl 50 raiding gear you can take your 10 lvl 60s into mc and clear the 40 man raid with no issue

i expect it to be zf

Would it be possible to move raid required class buffs off of runes and into skill books? I.E. aspect of the lion. It feels pretty rough to have to choose between nerfing my raid friends and trying out different builds. Also, I would vote toward smaller raid sizes, the larger raid groups lead to drama and burnout in my experience.

Really terrible BoA’s, ISN’T that the truth! Those things are horribly underwhelming.

1000 gold is just too much. You need to give us daily quests in zones like we had on the Isle. A place where you don’t have to spend 2 hours in travel. And make the reward enough to legitimately buy what you need spending an hour or so. Like I used to get about 50 to 60 gold on dailies in TBC. It was enough to buy all I need.

Epic Riding should be FREE, tbh. I see lvl 40’s walking because they can’t afford the 100 gold. I see ppl at AB walking. You don’t want RWT? Then stop putting these stupid gold sinks in the game. Example: The waylaid boxes, give some rep for empty box turn in’s. They are just way too expensive for most players.

Not sure if we are in the minority here, but my small group has been looking forward to 10 man end game content since MoP, and have been enjoying how easy it is to manage our small group of people who work well together. Knowing 20 mans are coming and we are going to have to recruit, manage a roster, make more tight raid rules/track attendance, more personality clashes etc. is a huge bummer for us. It’s been fantastic only having to manage a roster of 10.

Stay mad brother

You guys are making no sense! You cry on and on that it’s not like vanilla all while saying, make it more difficult add hardmodes add mythic-
ARE YOU KIDDING!??
If you want difficult turn your addons OFF and play old school!
Every single time I watch some “sweaty” raid or pvp on youtube their addons are in the background telling them what to do! (this goes for questing too)
You want MORE difficult- TURN THEM OFF!! Figure it out on your own! The way the game was originally played- Dare ya!
