I also think that there are a vocal minority of vets that were Icebreaker Cheesers, for which I think this change was majority for. It’s a slight tweak, but it will stonewall newer players and those who cannot hear the tones very well. I wonder if that is where a majority of the rage for it is, but who knows.
When/if I run the new one, knowing me I’ll probably call it the old way: L1, L2, L hidden, R1, R2, R hidden, and middle. Makes it easy to teach the encounter, and properly call out the pattern for newer players. I used to show the exact spawn points too, so they knew the locations of each one.

That’s how the team I ran with yesterday handled it. But it was an experienced group and the whole raid ran very smoothly.

I think every vet has Icebreakered it a couple of times at least. It was just kind of a thing until Dark Below and we were overleveled enough to where it was unnecessary

I think I had to do it 2 or three times, and it was the most boring ass crap, same as the “No Knight” kings fall strategy. I used it as an example of maybe why they changed the oracles to require a specific kill order now, instead of killing them in any order in the pattern. That’s all.

"No knight" God I barely remember that.
