What's epic about 20 man raids?

and i promise you, I’ve done them all.

just not with the rune abilities.

it’s why I’m here.

with that taken off the table, my time with SoD will end after clearing the level 50 raid. I’m not protesting it, I’ll continue playing WoW< just not SoD.

You have 40 mans in Classic Era.

I would like hardmodes to be implemented for those epics but ehh

I would rather have actually epic raids than arbitrarily large raids.

The more people the more epic it is, that’s how epic battles work

Are you going to propose that a 500 man raid would be less epic than a 40 man raid?

So you are going to miss 30 warriors and 10 healers?

You must not have done cata and MoP heroic 10 man raids, or heroic lich king 25 man. This is not even mentioning Mythic raiding from legion on.

The more I think about it, the more 20 makes sense unless they want to completely rework it.

Back in vanilla I was in a raiding guild that was okay, but never the best on the server (Did AQ 40… but no cthun before naxx gear, didn’t finish 4h or lich before tbc)

With that context of player level, we would have alt MC runs, and going by memory, one week we made it to gehennas with a 17man of alts in a secondary run after the primary alt run.

With the addition of the runes, at 20 man, MC could be left completely untouched from the vanilla version other that redoing gear.

Would be kinda cool in a way if they left it that way.

How to spot someone who never had the responsibility of Forming and maintaining a 40 man Raid roster 101.

“I tHiNk 40 mAn rAiDs wErE cOoL”

Yeah they’re cool on paper, and Look cool when you got a Full group.

But relying on a constant 40 man comp and team to stick together like glue is annoying, and Pugging is even worse.

Especially when Guildies begin to boil that a Pug got an item over them

or mage tower.

That’s exactly what I said :stuck_out_tongue:

If I want to see 500 people in a crowd I can just go to a SW.

Nah I quit retail at start of OG cata - two bad expansions in a row was enough for me, I couldn’t do a third.

Also having different difficulties is anti-immersion. Just make the raids hard and people who can’t clear it can simply fail the content. I much rather have 5% of the population clear content and 95% fail, than have that 95% do the same bosses on some easy mode.

It devalues the experience for everyone.

Who’s going to come to the rescue of the server burning down from the strain?

the load balancer

Most computers wouldnt be able to handle this, and you would lag insanely bad

I have never seen you post a non-troll post. This one though is especially bad.

Most PC would prob be fine - client doesn’t take that much processing, but the servers would prob need some fancy tricks to not lose their minds.

So layering.
