Option to spend valor on LFR tier wouldn't solve that much since you would still feel incentivized to do LFR to save Valor early on. Better to have the currency from the new elemental rune dungeon difficulty be used for LFR gear. That way you can completely avoid LFR if you dont like it and you dont lose anything.

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

I dont think I will ever understand this whole FOMO in games... :/

[@kyogery8927]

I know its not to do with set items but Im really excited to do the time dungeons: End Time, Well of Eternity and the third one.

[@juukyll]

i can see how excited you are for the "third one" :P

[@MattZeeX]

I think LFR versions purchasable for valor is good, I also think maybe doubling the amount of gloves/chest/legs tier dropping from normal and LFR is also another solution, with heroic dropping the same amount of heroic tier but then an additional 100% at the normal ilvl. The latter option is ofc more complicated but I guess I'm not opposed to earning tier from the raid like in retail, but it's obviously very different to the norm we've had here.

[@elite1234564]

They need to bring back the XP buff like I wanna level a few alts from 80/85 but feel discouraged knowing that there is a 50% buff

[@tiffanygoodrich]

I usually like LFR, lets you see the content, maybe u get lucky and win something but at min u get valorstones & fill your vault. Without the vault and upgrade systems LFR is less important to me especially because I never win tier out of LFR in retail, so whatever it takes to put the tier on the valor vendor that's what I am hoping for.

[@fredasd7017]

REMOVE raid finder. and give valor vendor the tier back. ggwp

[@treijhen]

I agree with you on most things but if they implement raid finder at all it should be pushed if you put raid finder gear on vendors it’s pointless to have raid finder it will be a loooooong Que without people thinking it’s needed. That being said raid finder gear should be on justice points normal tier on valor like it is now if they go that route. A lot of the raid finder stuff has its own color skin would be lame not to have it at all either for people to transmog

[@andreaskvaloy]

No LFR, add normal tier to the vendor

[@wingsofunlimitedpepsi6817]

There definitely will be lfr

[@BlindGuardian050]

They already said no to raid finder​@@wingsofunlimitedpepsi6817

[@DTSoR]

GOD I FUCKING HOPE BLIZZARD IS NOT ADDING LFR.... that will be the death of Cata and later MoP

[@tomasslastan2250]

How so?

[@sebadg5702]

DS patch is looking rough, I would love for blizz to maybe rework some of the systems (and heck, maybe some fights).

[@bruceliu1657]

if i rember correctly LFR didn't have a save so mega death grind was the route.

[@jiripirinen4264]

Why would I be upset about having to raid more even if it’s LFR? I like the idea of just getting the heroic token from the boss and turning it into a heroic set piece instead of having to farm 4 weeks of valor cap for the normal token and then turning it into heroic piece with the heroic token.

[@Robzxlive]

@scottejaye Can you please make a video about exactly how long it takes to do all the quests in 10 and 25 man for the legendary staff now that we have more info, theres legit 0 videos online on that :(

[@gamingedition5165]

Or what they could do is add the whole 5 pieces in the Valor vendor but only lfr ilvl like ICC had for 10 man normal you could buy each piece inside ICC.

[@c2thewick]

LFR will have more players than all of classic parsing raiders

[@joshuabrunet4096]

It's funny hero raiders did that in retail when lfr dropped

[@Ixiom15]

We need omni token, added to FL too. Half my raid team won't have 4pc by the time we kill heroic rag. 10M is just sad.

[@jiripirinen4264]

It’s week 4 firelands buddy. If you havent killed rag heroic yet (especially as 10man), you just suck.

[@icebox1954]

@@jiripirinen4264 Bro I haven't even started raiding yet. 373 ilvl and guildless.

[@BlueMage-adin]

After Wrath I only came back to each expansion to level up, then once my 30 days expired I went back to whatever I was playing. Does the raid LOCKOUTS work differently with Dragonsoul and beyond? How can we do Raid finder without locking out the character from the guild run?

[@25angel20]

Those were little different back in day, sort of like first step what getting later on in expansion for different difficulty's. Though back in og Cata days, they were different raid id between LFR and real run same way as BH 10 and 25 don't share weekly cooldown. Prob giving some info on LFR close on the 4.4 patch release date

[@Orly90]

Raid finder is its own separate lockout since you que for it

[@chrish0001]

Hey if Blizzard is watching and these videos are the best way to get recommendations into the game… content create on!!!

[@R3ar3ntry]

not my own personal complaint, but lots of people in my guild started not liking your videos cuz you're always hyping up mop (or the next expansion) i don't know which it is specifically, but yeah, some of them want raid finder in the game, i don't personally care if it is in or not, i think having it not be in teh game wouild be healthy to see if that is "truly" the problem. My personal take is just make it easy as hell, make it so you just go in stare at the boss and let them roll over, it's for people who don't get to see the content finally get to see it. but we'll see what blizzard says, if i am correct they said they won't be adding it this time, to test, and i think the test is healthy

[@cyanophage4351]

I don't mind raid finder being there for the people that want it, but I don't want to feel forced to do it. Just make raid finder lock you out of the raid for the week. Like they did with TOGC where you could do normal OR heroic, but not both.

[@ghozter1]

Didn’t firelands release like 2 weeks ago

[@gamingedition5165]

If you manage to complete your tier 12 HC set and beat dragon soul it's a good time to start preparing for mop instead of farming t13 for absolutely no reason.

[@adamg59]

Agreed

[@tomdavenport1768]

Please blizzard do not implement LFR. Please, rework the tier if you have to, keep LFR out if classic. Please.

[@slow2by2z]

Screw Baradin Hold drops!!

[@Dalex19]

They really need to actually have an ACCELERATED CADENCE and blast through DS as quickly as possible. We cannot be in there till Fall 2025... They need to also put actual effort into the Elemental dungeons this time and not just do a lazy health/dmg % buff.

[@Svenssonxx]

MoP Classic is confirmed for summer 2025 so that won't be an issue.

[@Dalex19]

@@Svenssonxx Let's hope you are right. The timeline has the "Launch" of MoP Classic listed under Autumn though.

[@pyotrbagration2438]

They should have released Firelands with ZA/ZG, that would have been neat, giving us loads of stuff to do for gear.

[@PregnantOrc]

@Svenssonxx No. MoP is in fall on the road map. Summer is pre-patch.

[@Uggibuggimuggi]

Please don't make me do LFR

[@zladd3nN]

Feels like you just want to speed things up, everything shouldnt be handed to you

[@Craftee6]

It is sped up. Phases are few months not a year. Entire cata is gonna be a year or less. Thats why we also have increased drop rates from raid.

[@zladd3nN]

@@Craftee6 the whole cata experience is already sped up, why would you wanna speed it up even more? you could just put a vendor so you get full bis handed to you so you just raid for fun

[@Craftee6]

@@zladd3nN I want to speed up gear acquisition because the phase timer is shorter. Despite raiding 25hc guild that cleared entire content very quickly and became a speedrunning guild i only got fullbis at the release of the dungeons (due to throne jewelery). Firelands shall be a little easier, although we still havent seen sulfuras heroic drop. And i want to get gear quicker because A) I'm in a speedrunning guild and speedruns only really begin when people are bis or close to bis. B) Because i pvp and i enjoy doing more damage than most people.

[@zladd3nN]

@@Craftee6 The normal t13 tokens not being available from vendor wont do anything for the big RNG loot. if you're missing like 1 -2 items on like 4 people it wont matter that much that you think since most of the time it comes down to comp And in DS its gonna be alot of caster with the staff thats gonna be toppin the meters. Becuase of the class stacking in the game right now and the vast amount of different loot that is available iit takes longer

[@Craftee6]

@@zladd3nN I wouldn't call loot ammount vast by any means, some classes straight up dont have a piece of gear in any slot dropping from raid. There's for example no plate dps belt (there is mastery expertise str belt but its tank belt, it has low strength), no str back at all, many pieces due to necessity have bad stats. It's not vast at all. And tokens not being available will in fact matter for rng loot, because rn bu the end of week 2, 3 tops almost everyone has 4p. That's not going to be the case going into ds. It not only will impact progress (should ds prove more challenging than firelands), but also farm. It makes very little sense to keep that change in hastened release of classic cata, when we literally get heroic + dungeons that let us get most of bis gear from last phase. That was also not available in original cataclysm, yet i dont see you complaining about it unnecessarily speeding up the game. So what gives? Why are you so opposed to this one change, that actually is a change that makes people at least run dungeons for 3-4 weeks of the new season?

[@mattyice5696]

MoP is when I stopped playing before do I'd prefer more time in ds

[@wowaddict617]

Hope they do raid finder cba joining a Guild or buying 1 million gold to start raiding

[@wingsofunlimitedpepsi6817]

5 years into classic and people are still crying over lfr. Move on you boomers 😭🙏🏻

[@SlyApex]

I can’t see any reason to make a whole video on the next tier raid sets. It’s a 5 second google and mouse over. Also atlas loot. Any real raider already knows what’s coming and IF they don’t , they’ll figure it out 10 seconds after wondering. Vid is totally not necessary

[@Cube930]

Most people have a life outside wow and dont wonder about these things until they are relevant, which would be week before or even day of next phase launch. This video is definitely good for the vast majority of players that are in this category

[@joesilveira8468]

I listen to these while driving. And who the hell are you to say something isn't necessary? Then you post something that isn't necessary. Good job bro.

[@Bubafett890]

I can’t see any reason to make a whole post on a video that isn’t made for you….oh wait yea I can you’re a dou***

[@fcazelf]

Everyone here is hard stuck on rag hc.

[@rct6518]

Yep . Dragonsoul is going to SUCK. We all know it. Many people wont even bother after a clear or two I assume (the player base is already plummeting). Cata is cooked. I am going to have fun in Firelands with the legendary staff for a bit and probably look elsewhere. I am looking forward to Phase 3 of Ashes of CReation Alpha and PoE2 coming out soon. WoW classic was a good ride but I want off this hamster wheel. Microsoft Blizzard has made it clear where they are putting the effort. That place is NOT our version of Classic Cata-Mop.
