Rise of Tiamat Encounter needs to be much harder

jaotut

So i just jumped on preview and tested Tiamat on my HR, and I have to say it was way too easy. I can solo the whole thing by myself with no problem. I did get bored halfway wanting to quit and afk'd for 5 mins so didn't finish the encounter in time and failed. I did kill those 5 dragon bosses and up to the last boss 'Severn' or something, who was very easy and predictable. I got a minor reso and a dragon hoard pouch as reward.

There seems to be 0 strategy involved except you have to beat the time limit. So you basically need 2 people with good dps and you can clear it faster than hourly dragons.

If you introduce all these legendary artifact gear to make people 20k+ GS, how about making the content appropriate to their level? At the minimum, let the player choose Normal, or Legendary Heroic version of this encounter (which should be extremely difficult) with different rewards, kind of like normal and epic dungeons.

Well Tiamat is coming in about 1 day from now, I doubt anything can be done to change this. I just want to suggest inviting some players in this game to test future new contents and get some feedbacks. It's no fun being able to solo a 25 man raid.

Well,based on what you said,what you almost soloed was the first stage of the fight.There's a second stage after that,which you can't solo, since you need to protect some Clerics (who are spread out on the map) while they are casting a spell.And after you are done with that,there's a third stage where you fight Tiamat herself and that part is also impossible to solo.So,no worries,it will be challenging enough to require multiple people

Since you cannot solo it because of inability to be in multiple places at once, you're going to need 4 more players

I am hoping the Tiamat fight is not one that just a few overgeared players can complete with just pure damage/control (tho I did read that the enemies on that fight are quite resistant to most control effects) can beat. For it to be a step in the right direction it needs to require people working as a team to complete, so the typical player attitude of charging in thinking they can do it all alone and not caring for rest of group would result in themselves or other party members dying, which if too many ppl die then the fight would be impossible.

Since no artifact / gear is granting the ability of bilocationyet it is not possible. But yeah it is laughable that 1 person can solo the first stage quite easily (supposing thats true).

Well i quit hope for harder content a while ago.. BUT i will first do the whole tiamat encounter before judging

One person probably could solo the entire first stage. But it would take too much time, there is an overall time limit to the raid.

The real challenge of this raid isn't in the combat mechanics. Yeah the mechanics are pretty typical and mundane.

The challenges are (1) the coordination required of the team to accomplish all of the tasks, and with the correct people performing the correct tasks, and (2) the time limit of the raid.

Such a fat troll and you are feeding him

Closing this up as their are fundamental flaws in the OP's description of events, like being able to solo it when it requires 5 groups to even get to the final stages.
