Dragon Soul Difficulty Change - 25%

Dragon Soul Difficulty Change - 25%

At the completion of scheduled server maintenance during the week of June 5, the “Power of the Aspects” spell will grow more powerful, reducing the health and damage dealt of all enemies in the Dragon Soul raid by 25%. This spell has grown progressively stronger over time to reduce difficulty and make the encounters more accessible. The spell will affect both normal and Heroic difficulties, but it will not affect the Raid Finder difficulty.

If you don’t need the help of the Dragon Aspects, the spell can be disabled by talking to Lord Afrasastrasz at the beginning of Dragon Soul.

We hope you continue to enjoy Dragon Soul, and that these changes encourage you to attempt a higher difficulty, or just keep pushing to take down that next boss.

Cataclysm is nearing an end, so it is acceptable to lower the difficulty at this stage so people get to see the content before the next expansion. If it happened a year ago then I would be complaining.

Most of you !@#$%ing about how the game's getting easier, haven't even cleared 8/8 HC. So what? Spine and Madness on heroic are bloody hard, and annoying. I'm fine with the nerf, as it allowed me to progress on those fights, and grab my 8/8 HC.
The only people that have the right to complain are those that cleared 8/8HC with no nerf.
Deal with it.

Claiming its too easy when you have not cleared all the hc content is nonsense, if your getting it 25% easier it helps progress for guilds who've been struggling in hc's for a while its not for the players who clear it on normal and think there hot !@#$. All the supposed veterans who live for vanilla get over it that %^-* was like 6 years ago.

You are all calling it easy.. if you don't like it, then talk to " Lord Afrasastrasz at the beginning of Dragon Soul". That should fix your "easy" problem. This debuff is so that people can form groups and run it without having to wipe so often.

There is a lot of complaining about how easy is WoW getting every new patch/datadisk.

Please hear this>

WoW is just another project making money for the company and it's share-holders. It is just PURE business. Blizz would implement even something like Tele Tubies into the game if it brings more ppl no matter how dumb it would look. PPL want to be satisfied .. all of them ...gear for everyone ... mounts for everyone .. pets for everyone .. everyone playing .. more money for Blizz. Capito ? Forget challenge, misteries, advenure .. exploring .. vanilla.

@Dhaar: What Blizz dont realise is that A LOT of the Older players and the vetrans will drop wow as fast as a snow ball melting in hell if they carry on with these stupid, idiotic, childish ideas... oh but thats their point... they are trying to pull in even MORE 5-10 year olds... That will go down well with the parents... May as well make this game F2P finally... what adult would spend 8.99 per month for a 6-10 year old to risk schyzophrenia and a miriad of other mental health problems?

@Bobjackson: To resolve this 'simplification' of wow there needs to be an opposing force. Players need to band together and get noticed, it is a business so if enough people complain they will have to change something. Only problem is i have do not have the time, like many others who feel like this, or any real knowledge of how to start this 'League of Old School' to fight back, pfft...

@Lightsoldier: In MoP, there will be two new special types of Dungeons.
Scenarios, which are easy and quick to do with less then 5 players. They fit casual players nicely.
Then there are challenge mode dungeons in addition to heroics. They are very hard, and only hardcore and skilled players can complete on a daily basis.
Really, MoP has something for everyone. I look forward in seeing you ingame in Challenge mode!

Can't imagine blizz will combine any realms when a new release is pending. Better for them to wait, rather than consolidate players to make a higher pop realm which then doubles in player numbers again when all the semi-retired players come back for mop.

@Bobjackson: Players like you are the worst kind of players in WoW. Please, if you plan to leave, why make such a big number out of it? Do you think others will scream "Please Bobjackson, don't go, we need you!" Good riddance, let others enjoy the new expansion. Sad thing is, I know you will still be there, complaining and complaining, but still playing...

@Bobjackson: the game is screwed up since like... bc, what makes Mop any different? vets either quit years ago or they occasionally still play. Hey I'm not a real active player but I had some bored moments in my life and I'm here am I not...
Previously I never even read anything about Mop, yep probably it will suck but Cataclysm sucks as well as Lich king did it too. Now we have a little more cartoons with chinese pandas, probably everything simplified a little, maybe some stuff that won't be as accessible right from the start but then everyone thinks they're pro and others are noobs so at the end everyone will get everything. Isn't it how it always is?
I don't know how can anyone whine about Wow really. It's a little like minesweeper or solitaire or whatever is the current trend, not sure why anyone has any kind of expectations...

@Plasticknife: well maybe *The Greatest MMO Game In The History Of Gaming* is too much for blizzard to live up to anymore? You know they made this game deliberatley addictive with the bright, cartoony graphics and the social aspect and the *even after max level there is still 1 million things left to do* content so that no matter WHAT happens to the game people will still play it... it just pisses me off that this game is expanding faster and faster, they dont even give the noobs a chance to experiance the full content of one patch/expansion before making the previous one outdated and redundent... you ask some one to roll the old raids with u, you are then known for all time as a noob... etc etc... considering i came in at the cata point i dont want Mop to come before i have experienced it all... the point of my whine is stated above

Angel ive been on aggamaggan during wotlk , and basicly the realm is rly rly !@#$ , i dont know why ur still there but now that Pescorus left theres apsolutely 0 chance on that realm, you should basicly transfer and thats it. No point in waiting for blizz to merge aggamaggan with some other server... You should try kazzak , has loads of guilds , and atleast 2 will soothe ur raiding needs.

Yeah same here, Agamaggan is practically dead so LFR is the only option. Really dissappointed with Blizzards reluctance to help the low population servers.
