Thank you for making Cataclysm content, keep it up!

[@ElkGodEd]

Grats on 1K dude! Keep up these videos. Love hearing more about Cata :D

[@TheMightyKarrot]

Thanks man, appreciate it! :)

[@Chrenno]

Cant wait cata hype for me more than SoD

[@klabauterbaer]

All I am looking for in Cata is being able to raid in a 10 man group and still being able to have a decent difficulty and loot. Organizing a 25 man raid group is such a hassle that I just can't be bothered anymore.

[@iuliuslovin37]

@klabauterbaer you should play FF14, there all difficulties raids are 8 men and the way the mechanics are showed and how the fights are, they are not simple tank and spank, if you have a group of friends then is perfect, there is called a Static group for raiding, if you are in a guild for example there, they kind of split in several static groups where the people set up each week at least a day to meet and have 3 hours or more of raiding, Wow raiding is very messy compared to FF14

Would be nice if one the changes they spoke about during blizzcon was implementing a retail style flex raid system that would allow for scaling raid difficuly between 10 and 30 players. This could potentially avoid death of 25man guilds that happened in og cata

[@Thrall966]

True

[@bobbybigplays7111]

Nice video

[@c2thewick]

If I complete the raid, can I go back and run it again with friends and just not get loot? I just want to do the raid 6+ times a week on my one main toon

[@motiv3949]

and if my raid is complete noobs and can't kill LK HC can we change difficulty to normal?

[@Iggybart05]

things i wish blizzard would implement for raiding:
1) flex raiding - saves the roster boss problem altogether
2) let you run the raid multiple times but only get loot from 1 kill, in retail this was handled with personal loot and has the handy additiion of basically stopping GDKPs since you couldn't trade loot that was an upgrade and it let you start with a fresh run if you only had 1-2 bosses down. but if people get whiny about doing that.....
3) split the normal and heroic lock outs, you can do normal (10 or 25) 1/week and heroic (10 or 25) 1/week
i'd like both 2 and 3 to be done, but i get a lot of people would have issue with letting someone fill a slot when they have already cleared it. personally i'd use it to hellp out other guild groups if they lose someone, then you can someone from another run who's already cleared it join in and help if someone's internet shits itself.

Seems good, feel like with point 2 there could be good gold for selling tank service

[@Iggybart05]

@@ruben_m4561 possibly, one thing i've noticed is that there seem to be an over abundance of tanks for 25 man raids. because blizzard sucks at scaling. 1 tank per 5 needed for dungeons, 2 tanks (sometimes 3) for 25 players. we seem to wind up in the middle ground where there always seem to be a few tanks left over.
my guild has a requirement that any tanks beyond our 2 standard tanks must have a dps set because of this. and then we rotate when we need 3 tanks or if one of the tanks wants an off night.

[@Quakeltiki]

I honestly think the trial of the crusader changes were unnecessary. normal mode TOC is completly dead, since you cant go into heroic. So everyone keeps their lockout and one day before reset go in with a crappy group or not at all.

[@ezeess7239]

ive seen plenty of normal pugs going in

[@TrafficLi9HT]

very low volume for some reason

[@dennismeinschein4396]

Thanks for videos. Previously watched the other guy but all he does now is season of distraction. Bleh.

[@tribbybueno]

lmaooo

[@hkronin883]

Great, even more raid logging…

[@Hattesvk]

Somehow it show that this info is from 2010? And this blue post is not on forum just on wowhead with weird date to it. So lets be honest is this some feak news?

[@ezeess7239]

not related to lockouts but im pretty sure cata was when they implemented the brez nerf. Also lockouts are so stupid. Just remove them completely!

[@wowaddict617]

Gdkp still fine ye?

[@carolinesspa7457]

I was so tired of the other youtuber that only do SOD content like if ir was fun....

[@temper9775]

Why did you go on such a tangent about how you can split up into 10 man raids and explain the entire system, only to then say it doesn't work for Heroic mode? Who cares about normal mode lol.
