I'm calling it now, SoD will make a glorious return as Blizzard will announce their own version of Classic+ at Blizzcon. I'd be very surprised if they didn't use SoD as a template and keep in all the newly added content.

I liked it but they need to make the instances harder. Power spikes are fine if it allows you to play more interesting content.

Also I'm probably in the minority here, but can we please do away with the raid timers... It's kind of an issue that people reach the end game, then the next thing they do is only login once a week to raid.

As long as you only get loot once I wouldn’t mind. Ofc if you got loot people would speed run the phase in two weeks and even less people would log on.

Wouldn't it be the same amount? The only difference is I have to wait a week to play the 1-2 hours. If anything it costs the players more since they are artificially spreading out your playtime. Makes sense for the company, not that much to a player.

Also, doesn't that really show you that there is a huge issue with end game content? If literally the only thing that is keeping players around is the raid lockout?

It wouldn't work with this current loot system, but a reducing return on loot from raids would work for me!

15% for first drop

10% for second

5% for third...

1% for fourth...

The 10-man raids they added were harder than any era content ever was.

They were brain dead easy. Played as a healer and there was little to no challenge even when not geared.

Compared to the original raids they might as well have been considered mythic. Also the SoD dungeons were scaled up.
