The RAID is Timegated

Just when I thought they couldn’t get any worse with the timegating they do, this time they’re timegating the actual raid.

Only the first 8 bosses will be available the first week the raid is.

What even.

Yeah, because you were totally going to clear all 11 bosses the first week.

Have you ever heard the phrase “building the plane while flying it”?

You do LFR, the raids are always timegated for you. I’m sure there will be a ton of players screaming about this who only do LFR anyway, just something to be mad about.

This has to be a joke, Anduin is a regular human with abit of Mary Sue armor, he should not be the final boss of an expansion lol.

The most blatant, artifical extension to World First I have ever seen.

Another reason why Story shouldn’t take presecendence over Gameplay.

lmao.

You do realize this isn’t my raiding toon for Shadowlands, right? I rarely do heroic, but I do join my guild for their Normal Progression.

Beats fighting Gul’Dan and Archimonde again. Atleast it’s new.

Getting heroic AOTC literally takes like 100+ wipes your first time.

Guldan is not the expansion final boss.

It doesn’t matter so much what content someone does or will get done in a week. It’s more of an indication that their approach to gates isn’t changing. And that likely will be across the board. The gated dialog is just so funny. Great joke!

Are you telling me the Jailor isn’t the final boss?

Going to need a source on that one.

It’s called story?

I’m not a fan of timegating but I have no problem with this.

Didn’t they do something similar in Ice Crown Citadel, or am I losing my memory?

Didn’t they do this back in Wrath Qi the ICC.

Honestly don’t care, maybe people won’t rush themselves the first week as much.

If they wanted to have time to give Anduin a story, then they should have made him the boss of a 5 man dungeon. Not a raid boss that they pause the raid to tell the story.
