I'd like the raid to be open at release.
I can say if it is delayed I won't run it.SoD phases keep my interest for about a week before I'm bored of it.
Either is good for me.
I really don't care all that much. I will take the time I need anyway. But let people have fun rushing it
Delayed, make the first week special and natural. Just simply lvling and playing. Wow is such a MIN/MAX game that having it launch with week 1 is just going to make everyone rush. Theres absolutely no reason to be rushing such a unique once in a wow lifetime experience. SoD first time around only happens once.
Delaying the raid dictates how players should play the game, no thanks.
I'm fairly casual and I would say it shouldn't be delayed. If it is delayed, that will set a new "expectation" for what gear you should have before entering the raid. Since all the sweat lords had full Pre-BiS before clearing the first time, that will be the new barrier for entry for anyone trying to get into a group. If everyone starts out by clearing the raid in leveling greens/blues, then the "normal" gear level that everyone will expect will be lower. It's like how since everyone had full bis Heroic ToC gear in wrath when the new dungeons came out (beta or gamma or w/e they are now), the "minimum" gs required for most groups was basically that even though it obviously wasn't necessary.
They should delay it. These sweat lords need to take a chill pill and stop pushing their min/max agenda on the community. Just have fun with your guild. They've given us something to enjoy but you are draining the enjoyment by unnecessarily increasing stress levels.
Do we know the lockout timer for this raid? Will it be a 3-day like BFD?(I'm the guy that made a bunch of reset tracker bots for discord, trying to prepare for this one)
No, DO NOT DELAY, because we need something to do. It doesn't matter when people clear the raid. Let those who want to rush for server/world first have their cake. Let the working dads have their cake when they can eat it. I'm that working dad and love to see the race, I also push hard to get to max and I don't want to sit and WAIT for something to unlock. DUMB. Life isn't fair, everyone has different time scale to play, and everyone will never be happy no matter what. Let us play the damn game.
They should lock all dungeons aswell that are lvl 25+ for 1 week, to force people to quest out in the world so the game feels more alive
this the funniest WoW news ive ever heard other than DF s4
none of the people I play with have a job and responsibilities so theyll be on the whole time im at work and be raid ready before I am. delayswear to god always on wow for 15 hours a day and trying to justify 1 more hour after that.
I am one of those too busy to rush the content at launch, but I really hope Gnomer is available from day 1 so I can follow the race on Twitch, The vast majority of players will go casual and enjoy the experience regardless of when Gnomeregan is released, yet so many here seem to feel the need to lecture others on how SoD should be played. This whole comment section is whining at those few who want to race to first Gnomer clear. Let the streamers have their content and let people enjoy the game the way they want to. Most of us will catch up by week 2 or 3 anyways, and by then it wont matter if someone has 2-3 more items than you.
No, it shouldnt be delayed. If people want to be sweaty and get max level as fast as then can and jump into the raid, let them.
