Its going extremely well. Started out hard but now that the first 5 bosses are very surmountable for most decently organized and balanced groups and set bonuses are coming online, we'll see some serious power spikes which will help even more. It's still going to require prog for most groups. - ThreadSky

Issue we're encounter is that set bonuses aren't really coming online. A 5/8 guild is getting 10 tokens a week to split among 20+ raiders that means an average of 4 weeks to even get two piece (crate chalice frags excepted).

I could see a few more adjustments in the coming weeks, but we don't want to be too hasty and overnerf it.

Do you think the current negativity/poor sentiments in the community are just misguided (if that's the right word?) or do you think it's just growing pains and eventually people will get there and enjoy the raid?

Honestly I'm disinclined to go much deeper on my opinions as a dev. It's just going to end up on wowhead/reddit and fuel anger for someone. I'll just say, the two guilds I run with that average 21-25 people per raid are 5/8 and we are having a lot of fun. That's my experience and YMMV.

Totally fair! Again anecdotal I did 7/8 and some pulls on the 8th boss last weekend and there were definitely times on last boss I was thinking "This feels retail esque" and I wasn't fully sure how that made me feel. Going back in again this weekend and I'm sure it'll feel better/different

@aggrend.bsky.social Josh, it might be too early but do you have time give some information on the TBC aniversary servers and its relation to SoD and era.
Can we maybe transfer era or SoD characters to the TBC server. Or can we expect a fresh TBC server with the prepatch?

Please no more nerfs Josh. Guilds will progress by learning strats and getting more gear.

"Going extremely well" Uh huh, because you hide here in your bluesky bubble where no one can find you. You've killed off 20 man dad guilds that only do one raid night a week. We've already lost a few to unsubbing over this, we don't want to recruit more and run with 30+. Screw you, man.

What about guilds that raid one night a week? You're telling us to either double our raid size or put in another night a week, which is a major design philosophy shift from the entirety of SOD. So we're stuck at 5/8 for months until a buff exists? You think that's an enjoyable gameplay loop for us?
