If Blizzard could engineer a way to create this challenge with out bad players having to create it for us, I think that would be really cool. Some sort of random element that no matter how many times you ran the dungeon you couldn't plan in advance for.



It would be great if they could make some sort of progressive dungeon difficulty thing like they do with standardized computer based tests like the GRE, such that, the better you do, the harder it gets, but when you struggle it gets a little easier. Get to a point where you're facerolling trash pulls without CC? well maybe the next pull has an extra mob. No sweat? Well, maybe the next trash pull has a mob that needs to be CC'd or else seriously risk a wipe. (Yes, I know this is what heroics are all about, but even the heroics will eventually get to be faceroll once people outgear them). I think this would be an impossible mechanic to add, and it would leave room for abuse, but they could add in effect, hardmode-esque trash pulls. Although in essence, they already have this in pulls where a mob might run to another pack of trash or specific mobs that summon more mobs.

I've always felt that how fast you do the instance is the way to adjust for difficulty =)

I've said it a million times. Change and unpredictability are keystones to entertaining game play, scripts are tombstones.



Ghostcrawler doesn't agree with you. According to him, anything unpredictable is bad.

Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since

Imo heroic is a tad easy. Blizzard needs to make heroic harder so that only elite people like me with super gear can run it and everybody else can stick to normal.
