Love the rhyming article!
Cool! Can’t wait to see the new Hallow’s End. Fun article :)
Affixes on the holiday events now? I can't even imagine the toxicity that this will bring out after all these years of "blast boss dead in 10 seconds, collect loot, be disappointed by no mount. Rinse and repeat." People will go in expecting every single group to be able to kill the Hard Mode version, and when one person dies to something that they've never seen before, that person will get a swift kick from the group.But I imagine that mounts and the best transmog drops will be tied to hard mode, so it will become the expected way to do the boss. Uhg.
There's nothing official yet so I don't want to make any judgment, but personally not a biggest fan of Hard Mode Event bosses. Even if it's a boring fight that may need some adjustments, I feel like this is adding on a very Mythic+/Raid vibe onto a World Event, which should be a completely different thing. I mean, it could be pretty easy to kill this hardmode for all I know, but most world events have been focused on outdoorsy content and it shouldn't falter from it. That'll depend on this supposed reward too though.
I wouldn't expect the "hard mode" to be very hard considering its just a holiday event. Might add a little more fun to the fight though.
"Massively overtuned"
not a fan of having this fight harder. Holiday event are non stress events everyone can do if they get time in the holidays. Not for a hardmode fight lol Just my opinion.
Really looking forward to seeing what new loot the holiday refresh will bring.
ah yes, hard mode for community event. It'll be great for pre made groups but disaster for pugs that just queue up and want their mount chance on 20th character of the day and is already grumpy and tells the other pug trying to enable hard mode cause they need a better sword or whatever drops from it to go f themselves and then purposely dies.
Update to the Headless horsemens mount? pls?
Apparently Blizz doesn't know a simple phrase, "Don't try to fix what's NOT broken."It's a once a year holiday event where random players of all type/gear and even not level capped yet can just queue and have fun bashing a holiday boss for a chance at some rewards. This didn't NEED any hard mode addition. Now, lets just wait for every group to demand "Aug Boi" and make this so called hard mode entirely irrelevant faceroll snooze fest... 🥱😴
All you above complaining about the hardmode did you even read thr article? Where does it say this must be done for the kill let alone the loot? Its for an added achievement and higher ilvl of its loots. Same as the new mega dungeon. Instead of it dropping champion you do it on hard mode for hero. The Mount drop % will be the same regardless of hardmode or not its for people seeking a challenge and not playing like a casual peasent.
People complaining they added more to do.Typical.Looking forwards to this. Anything that's not just pressing q on 30+ alts and pressing random buttons on the keyboard until the mount drops is a good thing. 10+ year old loot pinatas are boring as hell.
Unless there's a new drop, I'm thankfully going to avoid these since I have the mount. Still, sounds kind of neat that the boss won't just be a brainless zerg, at least at the start.
I mean some of us have been playing this particular event for what now, nearly two decades? Having an option to take on a harder/refreshed version would probably be a plus...
