Suggestion: Change all Heroics in Dread Ring to Slaughter

wildfirede

Almost no one is playing the other two heroics - when you join dread ring the chat is - invite slaughter, slaughter up in #4 and so on and so forth.

You would make lots of players happy and remove lots of instance lag if you simply made the 3 encounters to slaughter.
People will spend more time playing the game than spamming for a invite for a 'slaughter' instance.
Aaaand my chat won't be that spammed

They would still just wait for the one at the entrance, this is just a case where people are to lazy to walk. It's not like D.Closure is difficult or anything. People play it all the time in Well of Dragons. D.Escape however, yeah that one is annoying...

Closure and Escape are more annoying and time consuming than Slaughter, no wonder they're shunned.
Escape is clearly the worst of them all, but even Closure can be a pain in the HAMSTER because you need to switch target to the enraged bargula (he ignores aggro and just attacks the wizard, that you have to protect)
Simply put, the other two encounters need a change to be "competitive" against slaughter, be it either less requirement, more room for error or less annoying factors (like removing the enraged bargula for example).
As long as it stays like this, Slaughter will always be the clear cut winner.

There is less players in DR and the players running around DR tend to be less geared. This makes Closure and Escape success rate pretty low. You should do them in WoD where there are more and better geared players.

Don't worry, there will be new content and new rewards likely in a few months. Those Heroic Encounters will soon be just like the original Icewind Dale and Well of Dragons ones, ignored in favor of "more rewarding content."

I ended up re-locating to Well of Dragons, at least there they do Slaughter and Closure, and sometimes Escape if enough DPSers show up...​​
