All raiding guilds have people who have done it many times. You want the existing vanilla community to just stop playing vanilla? You make no sense. Even the most populated guilds on Elysium (Alliance side at least) are from Nost and prior server before that. Either way, the question was to the devs. Your opinion remains yours. Besides, it is NOT blizzlike to release MC/BWL with 1.12 gear/talents.

Did you even read his post, Xudo? "Of course no one is expecting a reworked MC or BWL that will provide a totally new experience to the players but there has to be an element to it to keep the things interesting." Elysium will literally offer nothing to returning veteran vanilla players if they allow content to be easy and boring. There are many approaches to tuning difficulty to reflect 1.12 talents/gear. Elysium wants to be Kronos 3 or something with retail dmg/values? Because people can kill these bosses with their eyes closed.

@Anostrich So Elysium will have regular retail health/damage with 1.12 specs/gear? This is part of why people are frustrated with Kronos, how easy the content is.

Thank you for the quick response, Queeky. Please do release that information regarding challenging content difficulty when you guys make it. I for one am definitely on board if that is the route you guys go! I didn't really expect an answer for the second, but certainly do wish you guys keep the gap between clearing BWL and AQ release short. Every server so far I've invested in "takes their time" between those two content releases and it has burned many of my guildmates out in the past.

If I may, I have certain questions regarding this server I haven't found elsewhere. 1) Content difficulty - Will you keep the same HP/damage numbers as retail? With current knowledge, 1.12 talents and 1.12 items (as you guys confirmed) MC/Ony/BWL/ZG is a cakewalk and far too boring, especially for months. 2) Release schedule - Since it has been clarified that it will be progressive, can you estimate the release of War Effort to open AQ? After Nefarian is defeated is a vague term and can mean both a week or months after or hell, in some private servers cases, years after. Personally speaking from past experiences, I have lost all trust in priv. server admins and their vague schedules. Glad to hear people phrasing the scripting, but additionally, these above two are super important to a lot of players I know. Because after years of recent 1x servers (ED/Nost/KRO) vanilla private veterans like myself are fantastically tired of MC/BWL. Especially the easy, faceroll ones.
