The RAID is Timegated

Hell, the article I linked even says “after a period of time” the last 3 bosses will unlock.

I’m more interested in who the two bosses after Anduin but before Jailer will be. I figured Anduin would be the one before Jailer.

He isn’t though

He’s not the final boss. He’s Boss #8.

But he’s also not just a regular human. He’s a paladin infused with the power of an Eternal One.

He’s like Sylvanas in SoD, but on Steroids, as he has innate magic.

I would be too in all honesty. I’m tired of these super big escalating stories.

I’ve never understood why LFR is time gated. LFR players have no interest in moving to normal raiding. Yet they make up the vast bulk of the raiding population. Seems counter intuitive to treat the majority like second class citizens :man_shrugging:

Although it will be hilarious to see norm and heroic raiders lose their marbles over being treated the same way LFR players get treated :rofl:

People on this forum are going to scream really loud, flail their arms in the air really hard, and raise their blood pressure through the roof over anything. No well adjusted adult acts like most of the people on the forum, especially over a game, so one has to take the source into consideration.

Oh you know they will :rofl:

I fully expect rage threads on GD about this as soon as 9.2 goes live. It’s gonna be hilarious to see GD have a melt down for a few days.

I mean, if I don’t like something, I don’t log in. I certainly don’t come to the forums and rage like an inconsolable child when something happens I don’t like. I hope these people aren’t actual real adults with responsibilities, because I’d hate to be their boss or significant other.

OP you have told me when I was on Proudmoore that you’re not a serious raider, only LFR

Because I suggested you should try normal to get your Sylvanas bow in game and in discord

You’re already used to wings being released at seperate weeks

Why are you concerned of NORMAL and HEROIC modes being similar?

" While there is a narrative reason given for this departure from the standard way of tackling raids, it’s undeniable that this will also slow down progression - particularly within the world first races, and it will be interesting to see how those players adapt to the change, since we haven’t had wing-locked raid releases since Icecrown Citadel in Wrath of the Lich King. The implication is that the final three bosses will unlock in the second week of the tier, though presumably Anduin will need to actually be defeated in order to face them rather than a simple time gate."

Ngl, seems like a nonissue.

I have no interest in Sanctum of Domination.

The raid just is very… meh. I did it on LFR for the domination gems and some of the transmog, but now that I got them, I haven’t touched it.

Nathria was engaging, to the point I even did heroic with my guild. But I sat out of Denathrius because Demonology was bugged beyond use on it, and I hadn’t learned how to play SL Destruction yet.

But SoD is just… one of the worst raids we’ve had.

Sounds good to me. I won’t have the risk of accidental spoilers before my slow butt clears normal.

Yes, yes I did.

I do not do SoD because I have no interest in the raid.

That does not affect how I will view Zereth Mortis’s raid.

Oh nos! You will have to wait a week and do in game content!

The horror! The humanity! Won’t someone think of the children!

You only do LFR why does normal and heroic mode bother you with similar lock outs like LFR wings being slowly released?

Yea. I did answer it, and now you’re going on ignore for lack of reading comprehension.

I still don’t see the issue with this extremely minor timegate OP. Most folks ain’t even reaching the final boss the first week anyways.
