Something that really struck me when I started playing on Kronos was how extremely easy Molten Core was. I raided Molten Core for the first time on Kronos with my guild at the time Blackwater and with merely 30 people in blues and greens we made it to Majordomo on our first raid. We would have killed Ragnaros & Domo too but we did not have enough dousers to spawn Domo.
BWL proved slightly harder and some guilds actually had to progress here due to trash packs requiring some cordination and that Chromaggus debuffs were going off faster than normal. Nefarian also proved somewhat of a challenge but overall BWL was not hard.
I realize these raids are old and by now they have been deconstructed to minute details as how to deal with each encounter but I hope you will still hear my point out.
Right now guilds have been raiding BWL for 8-9 months and hemorraghing players because of people getting bored of raiding MC & BWL over and over again. This is understandable and it comes with being on a private server. But my concern is the following:
Imagine you release AQ40. The hype is fucking real, guilds have been preparing for months with the war effort and consumable banks are stacked. Synced and Vanguard's penises are fully erect and throbbing for the world first kill. Vanguard of course fails and gets #2 but both guilds clear it within the first day. Rest of the guilds manage to clear it in 1-2 weeks.
And now what? We wait for Naxx for another 8-9 months?
My Proposal:
Buff/Overtune AQ. Increase the hp of bosses and trash. Increase the damage from raidwide spells and abilities. Do whatever you need to do so that AQ40 proves a real challenge. I would rather that AQ40 is released slightly overtuned and having to be nerfed than it proving no challenge for anyone.
Please guys Im begging you, I would love to experience wiping at least a few times before getting down a boss. Steamrolling through the content isnt fun at all.
This is my suggestion, you may disagree and maybe you dont give a shit. Thats fine, but Im glad I have at least let it be heard.
