Comment by MargorothDon't know why but everything about this patch reminds me of Ion's lies.Comment by LahkesisThats cool but what is "Modern WoW" ? When does it start?Comment by Salmerthat screenshot has joshpriest in it. yikes.Comment by Pampidooso if they kill the boss before sunday, this article will be useless?Comment by MookieBootieIt's easy to make a race last longer (conveniently before your big conference) when you overtune things and need to do 20%+ nerfs on abilities and shields along with all the bugs you accidentally included because you rushed your content out the door and didn't have enough claude tokens to run your commands with "make no mistakes". Almost as if this was done on purpose to generate buzz?Comment by SituationI used to be excited to watch RWF. This has legitimately been the most boring race I've ever watched. There is just nonstop wipes cause it's so insanely over tuned just for liquid and echo. And nonstop green goo overload. The casters for liquid aren't even paying attention to the race, they are doing random shenanigans with the race minimized to a small box in the corner of the screen cause there is legit no reason to even pay attention until it's nerfed.

And splits. What a great way to immediately suck every ounce of fun out of a new raid dropping. Weeks of not even attempting it, then you get to watch two teams fly through one shotting every boss until they hit a huge wall and barely make a dent in prog, just waiting for nerfs.Comment by NurmatI guess modern era starts from BfAComment by KerathrasOf course it’s gonna be the longest raid in history. The trash alone takes 5-10 business days to clear between bosses. MOAR SNEK! 🤣Comment by LolusIt dies today, let's see who wins.Comment by saiadarI think its a waste of dev time purposely over tuning the raid for degenrate gameplay only to have to nerf it after the race but part of me thinks the raid should stay that hard. If mythic is too hard, heroic is there waiting for you.

so if they kill the boss before sunday, this article will be useless?Comment by FlasKamelI wouldn't care about the raid being so hard if they didn't give me a taste of how fun easy tiers could be with season 1. I hope you people tuned into the race are having fun, and I know literally no one has ever asked about this, but I think this BlizzCon will decide whether I unsubscribe (not quit) for the first time in about a decade or not. I just can't tell what kind of expansion Midnight is trying to be, and it makes it so hard to be invested in it.Comment by BwgmonCrying in the article, crying in the comments.... Did people forget about Kiljaeden, Uunat, Garrosh and others? This is childs play, actual childs play difficulty bosses. Even Lura took 500 attempts and people are crying about it after almost 3 expansions of walks in the park. Have in mind, Lura took that many wipes because of the first phase and not after 10 minutes of fighting. Childs play!Comment by erro3it'll probably get more nerfs soon since blizzcon is coming up
