Die EiskronenzitadelleProfessor SeuchenmordBlutkönigin Lana'thelSindragosaThe Lich King (Icecrown)will no longer

After each region's maintenance this week, raids will no longer lose attempts on wipes in Normal mode for Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King. There will still be limited attempts in Heroic mode.

We will continue to monitor developments in Icecrown Citadel in the future, especially since the Heroic difficulty has been unlocked by a significant number of raids.

It should remain limited attempts. Drag the raid on longer for some guilds.Kommentar von 341129This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von Colvyn"Clearly ICC is too easy, they should have downed the LK within the hour, we need to nerf the lockout period"
Kommentar von InterestI actually really appreciate this. A lot of people, even in the high-end guilds, think that the limited attempts was pretty dumb anyways.

Prevented experimentation and so on with the encounters (you rushed through them rather than enjoyed them).Kommentar von 340720This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von 466008This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von Falithvelstupid.

Limited attempts certainly have their place, but I don't think it should have ever been a part of Normal Mode.Kommentar von ArgentSunYou have to also consider that it is somewhat hard to waste all 20 (possibly more soon) attempts. If you average something like 4 minutes per fight, 3 minutes per run/flight back, 2 minutes for buffing, that's and entire raid night spent purely on boss wiping. Assuming you don't do trash, don't kill any bosses (somehow), don't have to bother with trash respawns, people going AFK, raiders leaving, and all that annoying stuff.

If you raid 3 nights a week, 3-4 hours a night, 20 attempts are going to be about as many as you can do per week (this week we spent total of 4 attempts on Putricide and Blood-Queen, and could use only 10 of the remaining on Sindragosa. Our raid time was over after the 10th attempt). Granted, as you get more experienced with the fights, you need to spend less time explaining them and working on strategies, but you will also wipe less frequently. So that gives you the time to wipe 20 times... but you no longer need that many attempts.

Yes, I think the removal from Normal difficulty is a reasonable one. I am yet to see Heroic, so I can't comment there.Kommentar von kjpodsiaThe limited-attempts mechanic has proven something of a misfire if comments on other sites are anything to go by. Apparently standard procedure for a guild aspiring to a Server First is to bring up a parallel set of alts (or two!), then burn all their attempts learning the fight before going in with the mains for the one-shot.Kommentar von 532871This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von FramesNormal modes aren't meant for World First guilds, they're meant for the rest of us.Kommentar von 292580This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Kommentar von InterestI don't like this.

Any monkey can do a boss after 50 attempts or so. You don't even need to train him, just pull him straight out of the wild. To make a boss actually hard, you need to make it so guilds cant just grind him for 5 hours a night 4 nights a week. Maybe the amount of attempts should have been raised... but not removed.Kommentar von ZachUSAmanstupid.
