CsStoker: I've been killed more times by the 4-6 seconds of screen freeze that Midnight optimization gave me than the difficulty

nickvanpetten6939: I don’t really think we can talk difficulty yet. First day of mythic 0s had difficulty but now we are geared. I’d wait until m comes out.

franklintackettjr3592: lol you haven’t seen the groups that I have healed.

ragnarokette1191: An under discussed thing about the Midnight pruning is how much power has been shifted into cooldowns for dps. Especially for a lot of the meta dps, it feels like we only do damage every 90 or 45 seconds, but it also is enough to melt a boss or a double/triple pull. Do a small pull after that and you're reloaded to do it again.

As for prey, I actually was moderately afraid of them the day I hit 90 but I play arcane and I have had like 80% of my defensive abilities stripped. If it spawned on me while I was in combat with 2-4 things I was kinda fucked, but after a day or two of gear its more of an annoyance than anything.

KiraTheKhanivore: Depends on the player. I had to rerun Seat of the Triumvirate three times today because of tanks were absolute creatures. And I was there thinking "Blizz made the game easier FOR YOU"

abzolute.: The biggest tell that tuning is too easy:

Rets (the “what CD?” class) have been running a sub-optimal 30sec CD build because their optimal 1min build doesn’t even have a chance to ramp before packs die.

johnsmith9471: I'm OK with M0's being really easy. The pre-season is just chill setup time until the real stuff starts. On beta keys maxxed out around 20 so M difficulty should be similar to TWW S3.

DimmzBojne: For reference on the prey mechanic who calls for you toi kill something, as a dps i was afk for a while at a flightpath location after going to get some to drink while flying, and that dot from failing to kill something actually killed me.

nauscakes1868: I feel like the game could still be easier. But I have to recognize that I'm while I'm not a super unique player -- there's many like me. I have to acknowledge there's a split.

When it comes to video games, I have two different styles. I have focus games, and I have tv/music games.

Focus games are hopefully obviously, they're challenging and difficult and they require my full attention.

TV/music games are something I'm looking for to play and keep myself busy while I'm also multi-tasking with watching TV or listening to music. This is a perfect example. I'm doing daily world quests, while watching videos on Warcraft. I've never seen this channel before, but took it up as something to listen to while I do my quests.

----------

For me, I don't ever want to die during my quests. I'm not looking for a challenge. I just want to two-tap targets while I farm and just go through the motions. If the game is too hard then I have to stop watching whatever I want to watch and then focus on the game.

I do not like having to task switch on short notice. If I want to raid or run a really hard delve, I know what I'm getting into, so I mentally prepare for it. I don't play movies. I clear my mind and I'm "in the zone."

But if I don't expect a challenge doing world quests, I don't want to randomly start encounting challenging content because some goober who doesn't watch videos goes "oh my gawd, world content is sooo boring!"

I'll also be fair too. Those people are allowed their opinions. Just like mine. But I know if the game is too stressful, I'll just play something else. I'm not trying to run mythics. I refuse to do anything timed. Which is why I love delves. And I love that they can be scaled. I think scaling is great.

But I really hate the idea of "everything" has to be challenging. Just find the content that gives you the right doses of feel-good vibes and enjoy it.

I would like daily quests to be a little bit easier so I can run them on alts and not stress about them. As a 250 item level demon hunter, they're the perfect level of easy. But my fresh 90s still get romped sometimes.

=================

I also like the idea of just getting gear to make things easier. I like raid and delve gear, because it lets me clear world quests easier. I don't mind working for my gear. For my above mentioned main to be 250 item level, I did have to put in some effort for that. It's not like I got handed 250 gear for turning lvl 90.

I don't mind working for upgrades as in time investment and repetition. I just don't want it to be super skill intensive.

MerguezParty: The only difficulty in these dungeons is the second boss of the triumvirat, mostly because my pugs dont soak the orbs, for the rest i'm gonna play the raid and i'll wait for the m

BoundlessBoredom: I think it's premature to judge the content at m0 level. I know it was at one point supposed to match a 10, but Blizzard has nerfed that multiple times since the original squish. We're somewhere around where we were at pre-squish in DF

davidpeat184: I think it comes down to gearing rather than difficulty of the content. I mean when have we ever had 4 seperate events that give you fabled caches Nightmare/hard preys Delves LFR/Norm raid Guaranteed drop from first world boss kill.

I'm already 256 on my brewmaster monk and still have a veteran track chest.

We definitely have an almost over-abundance of gear sources currently.

scoobydruid: I’m very casual and enjoying the relaxed nature. Low-stress M0 are great!

NicholasAdamsDPM: I get what you are saying but this video is a weird way to say “I’m better than everyone at the game and it’s too easy for me”. Try ?? on devourer and see if you even make it to the adds. He will kill you in 3 hits through all defensives. I’m not bad at the game, 6/8 8/8 7/8 mythic in TWW and 3k in, but I’m not world first. The difficulty seems fine. It’s fun and engaging. You want hard hard, go do your 20 keys.

nikgallGG1: youve been playing this game for along time? maybe you know how the game works and thats why its easier and if you dont know what to do to get strong itll be harder

FrobiWan: I was expecting the ?? delve to be harder than what it actually was. The TWW season 3 ?? delve was spot on for difficulty. With the current one, I was able to one shot it. While it felt nice to knock out the solo achievement early on, it was disappointing on how easy it was.

matteus9895: Damn man. You went full elitist

Recreantsmile: Delves were harder than m0s lol

baghoulboss: Can someone genuinely explain to me why you can't just do a higher key if you want harder content? Why is locking out the majority of players from doing keys in the high teens such a kink for some of you?

Velthus: The only thing that makes m0's "hard" as a healer is when tanks pull 40 mobs at once when sometimes they have multiple mobs that do fears or stuns of some kind. Outside of that? Relatively easy, I can nap through it.

avrahsarchives: i am playing outlaw rogue. pretty minimal self healing and i've been doing t11 delves in 220 gear. killing all the nemesis mobs too. valeera as healer seems insanely strong. she just heals through all the damage with ease.

justinsugalski6161: I'm annoyed at the hall of fame nemesis thing, I work 12 hour shifts so it was full before I even got a chance at it. Would've been much happier if they made it x-hundred for each class rather than 4000 for an entire region.

michaeld751: I play a blood death knight and i can 100% say, that on nightmare, if I don't kill something, get the debuff and don't heal myself I will 100% die. I can't just stand there and do nothing as you claim.

abieltorres2639: The community changes as the years go by. I think the devs are making it a little easier for the older people

nauscakes1868: This is my second post. I think a MASSIVE issue when it comes to gear is that people are playing for gear and not the love of the game. If you're only playing for the destination, then just take a step back and ask yourself why you're actually doing it.

Just please, play content you enjoy. If you feel low level mythics are pointless, or something else is pointless, just don't play it. If you don't enjoy it. Don't play it. Find something you love. I promise you life will be a lot happier.

necrolicious: Funny you made this video. I was waiting until your first M keys were done to ask you if you think Midnight is too easy. I was going to joke that top-end raiders might voluntarily stop using addons in an attempt to make the content challenging. Especially after watching the videos of under-geared healers doing ?? Nulleus in their sleep. We still have to wait and see what M and mythic raid look like, but I am skeptical after ?? Nulleus.

mogullll: Why should m0’s be hard or even gearing for that matter? Having played some classic, difficulty seems like it was never part of the core design. It’s cool that m and mythic raids exist to push people but I don’t think it’s a problem that gearing is more of a chill grind than a stressful challenge.

I’d personally even take it a step further, rework heroic to be the difficulty of low mythics and have it be the max requirement for filling vault and leave m for the key pushers, so they’re not butting heads with the casuals who just want to do their weekly vault.
