Senior Game Producer for WoW Classic Josh Greenfield, AKA Aggrend, has responded to some of the feedback about the new Scarlet Enclave raid on BlueSky and Reddit. Primarily, many players feel that the raid is too difficult.
Aggrend explained some of the factors that have contributed to the raid’s difficulty (and players’ perception of it). For one thing, it’s completely new content, and players don’t have decades of strategies to go off of. There’s also the fact that the gear you acquire as you progress through the raid could eventually make the content feel trivial. Finally, the developers have plans to implement an Icecrown Citadel-style buff over time that will make the raid progressively easier.
Watching a lot of the back and forth about the raid being too hard and there's a few key things here to consider (in thread below). Before I dive into that though we agree that boss 1 and 2 are likely a bit too hard and have already made some adjustments to make them more manageable.Now, consider:
I've been playing World of Warcraft on and off since vanilla, usually as a healer or caster and often as a guild leader. I play both retail and classic. I also love RPGs, sandboxes, and sims.
