my man making a wildstar reference. God i legit miss that game. Such a fresh take on genre let down by devs and community alike.

The best thing they could do for everyone in terms of "nerfing raids through gear acquisition" would be to ramp up the upgrade system over time. Start with capping crests really low, and each week increment it. Along with this, increment the crest drops too, this would fix getting giga-geared week1+2, and would fix how daunting it is to start an alt mid tier and trying to catch up in crests.

Just remove the crest acquisition cap, let people only spend up to a certain amount on each character per week and let them be tradeable to alts.

you shouldnt even get crests the first week or 2. your source of power is the gear, you dont need to upgrade it too. you dont appreciate empowering your weapon if its the thing you upgrade first every single patch, you never play with the bad weapon so you dont care about the upgrade. then with ramping speed you wouldnt have the alts are stuck behind 200 dungeons problem and people would also experience the raid/season at a good pace.

@@muffinman2990 actually like this idea.. like unlock the upgrade system like 2 - 3 weeks after the raid unlocks.. maybe let you get crests in the meantime so it doesnt feel too gated, but upgrades unlock later..
Thank you for the big red circle around the boss Maximum, i would not have seen it otherwise
This was very interesting, thanks!
this looks like a fun first raid tier loving the theme
for example the adds when they die could drop a green or red blood puddle, that stops the black blood in that area, and lets say u needed to kill two adds to cover an egg or even 4 adds, so you could choose not to do certain adds based on where the ones u killed die.
dreadphage ohmna vibes from that one boss with tentacles shooting beams.
10:30 look at little G'huun junior xD
sounds like a fun fight, the add fight with the slug, but man pugging that thing on mythic... lol. hopefully it will be managable on heroic, often at least 4 decent people in heroic pugs :P.
So many mechanics from tomb of sargeras in this raid
Ky'veza - i can very clearly see the influence from ff14 here and I'm loving it
Seems like a good raid
Man what wall paper is that cause it’s sick
Experimental Dosage is no longer a Private Aura! new patch!
i wonder how arachnophobia mode is going to look like this raid
in lotro when i played a year ago or something like that, there was this boss that had an enrage that was funny, the boss just starts slamming the tanks and moving really quickly, and u could live it for a long time if tanks basically ping ponged the boss with taunts and only tanked with cds and externals on, so it was really fun to hit the enrage for the tanks, and honestly i think tanks deserve fights where u need 3 tanks to do something crazy like ping pong the bosses and almost only tank with cds up or active mit maxed out, crazy fun and intense, and unsustainably hard, so its also a dps and healer race.

While that is cool and fun, it would probably be a disaster for pugging. People already had issues with taunting on time with Rashok, and that was just a switch at the right time.

We had almost exactly this in 9.1 first boss
they could have made it so that u have to crack eggs every single time or those players die, and u kill the adds near the black blood to "soak it" and clean some of it away, that would be cool and bring at least a little choice into the mix. honestly blizzard should hire me to wag fingers at their boss design, but i would not want that job tbh, it is hard to make something interesting that is also going to be manageable across levels of skill.
Actually enjoyed Wildstar
the raid looks fun and easy enough for heroic so far.
lol "He doesn't do anything" after vaguely explaining a half a dozen unintuitive mechanics that he almost knew how to partially explain.. for a First Boss. It's Par for the course, but that doesn't mean it's good. I think "Doesn't have that much going on at the same time" is more likely.

the way he explained it kinda was all over the place but the fight is really easy anyways, p1 is just boss throws random shit on the ground that you don't stand on and random people get a circle that clears it, and then there's a big group soak and dont go under the boss, p2 is just kill adds and evade the big line of bad, then back to p1 with some roleplay about feeding the boss

@@verazord Sry if that first part didn't show the sarcasm. But like my point, there may be a lot, but not too much at the same time, which is what makes a boss hard. For a 1st boss, it should be easy for prog reasons, but this seems to be par for how blizz been doing (from what i see). I just got back into the game recently from legion. So what do I really know? (That's not /s.. I rly don't know shit, just saying for convo is all)
man i hate those video bros, i like to think, i almost never watch strats, or read strats i look at mechanics and think, that is fun, and often easy and makes u play the fight a lot better.

The only downside is that you have to find friends or a group that also thinks this way. It's kinda rare nowadays but I totally agree, it's fun when you do it for the first time, like, everybody has to find out what to do, and it feels rewarding.

Any WoW fight that rips off Wildstar is a good fight. That's a deadass amazing game.
not the enhacement shaman being bottom on dps :(
Break Weakauras for combat mechanics.
The upgrade system suck massive cock for everyone other than "let me gear in one week and push absurd m+" crowd. Before that we could kill most of the bosses by gear alone, and nerfs came litteraly week-2 weeks after kill, best feeling ever, cuz farm was much easier and progress was still progres...now abaut half of mythic raiders have what you guys had on rasza. "Oh well we bang our heads against unbreakable wall, nerfs came, wall falls over in seconds"...and it sucked for you between days, now imagine how it sucks over weeks or even month in some cases

Kinda disagree with his take on broodtwister. Feel like he's so 21st raider pilled most of the fights he likes are ones where you can come up with a strat to "cheese" a fight like spawning all the ghuunies at once to mass aoe & then saving tank cds for the big spiders together. Thats lame imo. Being forced to spawn in a variety of add types makes it so that gameplay/execution is more the determiner of success rather than like making sure to bring enough grips and stuns to aoe down half the ghuunies at once. Having to deal with ghuunies, worms, & big spiders all at the same time each doing different things is the only thing that actually makes the fight interesting to begin with imo.
Broodkeeper was an absolutely atrocious boss design. So it makes sense that they would double down on it. SMH.

On the gearing / tuning and nerfing of bosses, I think it would be better if they capped gear upgrades (or added more levels later), maybe no mythic ilvl upgrades at all for first 2 weeks (only up to heroic ) The only downside would mean specific gear drops ate more imoactful and more splits, but you're going to do that anyway so it's a moot point
just make the first few bosses killable, and the gap between hero gear and mythic gear in terms of power larger and the auto nerf is back effectively, since u cannot do nearly as much mythic farming as hero farming with lockouts.
I wish raid bosses were like in FFXIV : hard to beat on the hardest difficulty, but doable (more like not a pain in the arse) without ten thousands addons. Don't get me wrong, I love raiding in wow, I just think having weak auras and stuff like that (I'm using it tho, don't get me wrong on that either) have less charm. Learning a "dance" and executing it flawlessly to beat a boss is something so much more rewarding than getting help from addons and stuff that tells you what to do. But eh, I'm still very excited for this raid! I freaking love nerubian stuff.

Every fight being a dance fight would be so dull. Imo WA's are a little to powerful but half of it could be fixed by just giving more time to react to the private aura stuff. If it was 8 or 9 seconds to create the overlaps on the eggs instead of 6 thats long enough where an addon just doesn't help that much because there's so much time to get it correct off the cuff. Woulda been the same for stuff like echo of nelth but blizz gotta create boss fights aimed at the 100 people who try for world first for some reason.

@@mattoleary811 Hmmm maybe I'm describing the whole dance thing badly. Did you, per chance, do some max difficulty raids in ffXIV? This is what I was talking about. It's not dull at all and very rewarding when you beat it. And yeah, you're totally right on the world first take, blizz is under the influence of some good stuff I'd like to smoke as well, that's for sure lmao.

Skipping TWW but still hyped to watch the race as always.
u dont need a macro ever again if u have a 3rd party solution for every single private aura situation, just one guy put effects in he must. and once u solve that for one boss, its basically plug and play for every future one forever. a dude i raided with in lotro in like 2010 made just such a 3rd party app, it was not perfect by any means, but it was dead simple, and it never broke, we just used it to have raidwide info about some effects, but its the same kind of a thing macros wont be needed, u can absolutely build an addon or 3rd part system that takes something local in the game files, or even just an effect on screen(a little harder to do) and makes it a "public aura", and nowadays u can have any ai generated celeb call out ur "spider 1s" and "worm 3s", that is hella better than having to macro shit. backend beats manual every time when it works, but it has to work, and keeping to simple old school 3rd party is probably the best tech u could use.

Raid kinda looks stinky
bro just make a script that autolists people, so if player 1 gets a circle and 3,4,5,7,9,12 and 14 gets a circle, 1 is always paired with 2 and so on, if its private, then just have a 3rd part thing, the private aura triggers a 3rd party app or some add on to signal the player u are paired with and so on, and vica versa, such that no matter who gets them u are auto assigned, and the app or addon just says, "spider 1" for example, for two players based on the signal it got from each players private aura, this is not hard to do for someone who is decent at coding, and all private auras could be handled this way with millisecond response time. you just need a script that consistently auto assigns people ^^, and that doesnt break if player 13 gets a circle lol. honestly u should have an app like that or addon like that as backup for any kind of private aura bs, if u dont already have it, it is not that hard a problem to solve, logically it is just some script that needs to recive a ping with a number for which player gets it, then auto assigns a list and sends the right add signifier back to the players app, this is baby stuff in theory, could be hard to make it ergonomic or adaptable to situations where the movement is complicated and restricted but should be good for this fight at least, with a bit of profficiancy with the tech u can essentially automate the process of making private auras into the same kind of thing as normal auras anyway just in general, the degree to which u just want information, vs wanting to automate assignments is something else though. if u dont have this kind of tech already u need this kind of tech, and u need it to be very simple to use, very clear in what it can do, and very dependable, so keep it simple, one app or addon that does one simple thing, it takes a private aura and makes it public, extra utility can be scripted on the player side, the actual transference of information can be dead simple, just an effect number/name and player number, with profiles for each fight premade, all players need to do would be to select their number and maybe the fight, although u can treat all fights as one in a sense, the app if 3rd part could be as simple to use as just selecting your assigned number and downloading the appripriate script for the private auras u need to deal with. sorry for the rant, but this could be a 1 click on use fix, and just a little coding and adjusting settings when setting it up, which does not need to be done by the player at all, that is what u want, something dependable that doesnt steal your time, and does not break ever.
