I discussed this lately with some clanmates. Why were D1 raids better?
- First of all the mechanics were less complicated and were still possible even if 1 or 2 players died. In D2 most of the time when someone dies it will be a wipe.
- Res timer in D2 is bad. When someone dies you have to res that person within 1.5 min.
Both above points cause that the heroic moments like in D1 raids are gone.
It also causes that when you go on LFG players will require other players that they Know What To Do. They don’t want to explain all these complicated mechanics.
My favorite raid ever was Kings Fall. Why? Mechanics were not over complicated, lot of boss fights, final boss was really impressive and huge, lot of fun moments with jumping puzzles that were not too hard. It was just a fun raid. This raid should be the blue print for all raids.
Bring back our heroic moments!
