What is with all the pointless annoying mechanics?

First we have things such as the great worm from beyond in the bfa assaults and now we cant release on world bosses for 3 mins? Is there any other point in these mechanics other than to waste out time and annoy us? Why add this stuff in the first place?

If I were on the design team and I heard someone mention and idea like this I would give them a nice open handed slap and tell them to start thinking straight.

You should just be able to press 1 and get the loot from the world boss :angry:

I saw people mention not being able to res for 3 minutes but when I got to my body I was able to res right away

I didn’t die.

i couldnt release for 6 minutes, was able to release after the boss died

Mine was 6 minutes too.

It sucks.

I died almost immediately after hitting a 1800 ms lag spike during initial pull.

Honestly, this is fine with me. The Great Worm from Beyond was OTT, but this? It keeps people from easily zerging the boss. It makes sense to me.

This expansion is just for mythic raiders so all the mechanics have to be tailored to that audience.

Terrible.

This reminds me of Cata, but ramped up to a new degree of terrible and annoying.

Just press 1 on the world boss and start posting on the forums like everyone else.

Collect your ez loots and release.

Laziest counter argument on these forums that always completely conflates “hates crap design” with “doesn’t want to earn things”.

No really…

always think of the exploit things mechanics like these are trying to prevent. you can’t just zerg and stagger corpsewalking from the graveyard anymore, you have to organize a group

I did it on 4 characters in under 20 mins. None of them came close to failing. This isnt really preventing anything. I just don’t get to play my character if I make a misktae now and have to afk till the fight is done.

Time out till it’s over.

Only died once then got a rez cause i was trying to help tank him. World bosses needed a revamp. The bfa ones where far too easy. Srry but you shouldnt just casually poke these guys for gear…there needs to be risk involved. Stop it with the entitilement plz.

Then make the boss harder. This is a band aid fix that isn’t stopping anyone from killing the boss. It just stops people from corpse running which really isn’t stopping anything as I have yet to see a group even come CLOSE to wiping.

So what you’re saying is that the gameplay makes it very clear you failed the mechanics but if your group still manages to succeed, you aren’t penalized in progression in any way, thus serving as a helpful tutorial transition to raids for new players so they feel incentive to figure out how not to die without feeling like their time was ultimately wasted, and never risk not getting loot from choosing a bad time to start corpse running without being called a leech.

That sounds like a pretty good take on a world quest raid boss to me, and I’m about as far from elitist in this game as you get; don’t even do mythic keys.
