How was Old Naxx40

[Loken]

Oho here it comes the d*** measuring contest.

[mrmr]

Curious, the people who are saying "it won't be so hard"... did you guys actually raid it pre-BC?

Obviously not...there is no Naxx pre-TBC.

Not on retail, but I know It's not gonna be so hard, follow the strat, don't mouseclick and it's gonna be fine.

cmon naxx isn't that hard nowdays, strat aren't really hard, the only thing hard is to manage 40 people.
Would've been funny the first time people did Thaddius tho.

"alright everybody let's group up on the boss, hey look Captain, we've got a weird debuff on ourselves, a plus and a minus. what does it mea... *dead*"

The strats are rather simple, but a lot of mechanics and whatnot were unforgiving. Damage was really high as well.

Yes that's why I said nowdays, we know the mechanics, even if the damage are high we aren't clickers anymore, everybody (or almost everybody) knows how to play his character. Shouldn't be much trouble. Aq40 has way more challenging bosses imo.

So you think people back then were noobs? Only because it was 2006? That is very poor judgement. I guess you never entered Naxx back on retail Vanilla. It was about coordination...and I don't understand why do people underestimate players who played back then. WoW wasn't hard to master, it was all about team coordination. Not some "clicking" as you say. I mean, I don't have to play the game for 10 years to learn not to click my spells but to keybind them, I get so annoyed by that logic. So your argument that it's gonna be easy just because 10 years have past is not too bright.

[TheLockKing]

Just gonna repeat this.

Even in TBC gear, Naxx was hell.

Yes I did, I raided up until KT before the guild I was in fell apart. I wasn't talking about everyone, I was referring to the top guilds on the realm, I don't see them having anywhere near as bad a time as the guild I was in did during vanilla. It all depends on the guild. If you have a guild that requires full consumables at all times it will make it a lot easier.

How well the realm is coded will make a difference, but I do think guilds will clear content very quickly.

I didn't say they were noob, my point is that people are just way better now, It's a fact. And It seems legit. Coordination is all about applying a strat. But just don't overestimate naxx. That's my point of view, you can disagree with me that's fine.

Kek. Good luck. Come back when you get stuck on patch because your hateful strike tank keeps getting destroyed, or when you get to 4h and figure the gear for your 6th, 7th, and 8th tanks is good enough.

40 man Naxx was a motherfucker, and even with 40 people paying attention, 1-2 mistakes can spread quickly and lead to a wipe before you know what hits you. Then there's the RNG that is waiting for you just to spice things up.

Firstly,
The fact that you needed to have a proper gear (resistance gear, etc) doesn't count as a difficulty to me. The "Grind fest" shouldn't be considered difficult but of course the boss himself.
patch is all about hateful strike mitigation aye (your tank need to have full consumables on) and overheal (precast), oh sorry and burst also. (7min enrage kinda hard yup)

[tosheybellamy]

Not talking about fucking resist gear. Talking about main.tank. being. hit. for. 8k. dmg. every.hateful. strike.on.fucking.patchwerk.

Basically 7 perfectly and fully geared tanks is a MUST if you wanna be serious about Naxx lol
