The AI could do with some further improvement certainly - which would, in turn, increase the difficulty. Also they're all harder, especially the last one, when you don't abuse Alexstraza. In fact, I think they really should change 45 health to 30 health and 15 armor because of that. | ||

The normal modes seem designed so that even players who are fairly new and running starter/budget decks can complete them without too much frustration--which of course means more experienced players with top tier decks will roll them, but that's fine. The heroic modes are fun little puzzles I thought. I died the first time I faced heroic Maexnna, figured out how to beat her and went back and tweaked my deck, then won. Honestly, I think thats all you can ask for in an ai enemy, something that will force you play differently than usual and make tweaks to your deck to do it. | ||

I didnt really try and you can kinda just brute force your way through the bosses didnt read up on them or plan. Just kinda choose a deck oh it didnt work, this will 100% type of thing. If you try and research a little youll one shot easy. If you dont care at all youll get through it after losing to the boss atleast once | ||

Last boss took 5 attempts, until I figured out that priest would work best for me and absolutely trashed the spider on the first priest try, even finishing at full life. | ||

Some of the datamine sound files seem to imply that certain cards don't work* (like Equality), either that or Kel'Thuzad just flames you when you use them. So if it's former case, then I would like to seem them add Alexstrasza to that list. * potentially only against certain encounters since I played Equality fine on normal Maexxna and didn't get en emote or anything. | ||

I assume people picked that poll option because there isn't a "somewhat too easy" option. Also to show off  | ||

I beleive its in the 4 horseman fight. There is also a sound file for Doomsayer, but not Mass Dispel, which is the best imo because you can double Mind Blast the following turn, but you can't do that with paladin and you also have to clear the 3 1/1 horseman, but I think that people should just not use Alexstrasza if they find it too easy. | ||

It's definitely harder than I was expecting it to be. Maexxna is a genuinely interesting encounter to play through. If it's too hard, people with little experience or small card collections won't be able to get through them, and there are a lot more of them in blizzard's customer base. I wouldn't mind if normal mode was slightly harder though. | ||

I guess it comes down to your deck collection at the end of your day which is kind of disappointing. | ||

Havent figured out how I'm gonna beat Maexxna on heroic without Alexstrasza yet. Pally is your friend. Bounce a few Peacekeepers to make sure her board is just 1 attack minions, then alternate between dropping healing minions and going for the face with weapons and charge. | ||

Regular bosses need to be a lot harder, and heroics should be a bit harder. I'm hoping by the final wing, regular bosses will be the level of this wing's heroic, and heroic bosses will be brutal.

Or making them immune to it. Giving Maexxna Power of the Wild or Bloodlust or Savage Roar (so you can't just heal and sit back and wait with 2x Earthen Ring Farseer). Making the first heroic guy spawn a 3/2 guy for 0 mana every turn instead of a 4/4 for 2 mana (so his early turns are more consistent) and giving him better cards than Shadowbolt. Helping the 2nd heroic challenge not kill itself by the dumbest use of Inner Fire ever. Giving the AI some better cards in general really (maybe even the new Druid card or other hard board clear). While I did have fun putting together a specific deck for Maexxna, the other stuff wasn't much fun at all. Also the server downtime/heavy lag after release didn't help either. I completely agree with bosses getting 15 - 20 armor instead of 15 extra hp, but even without Alexstraza they first two are too easy. | ||

Heroics took us a little longer but they went down once card draws went our way. I guess it comes down to your deck collection at the end of your day which is kind of disappointing. yes and no. they can't make normal content "hard" in any way if they plan to attract new players. these guys will turn towards the adventures for easy access to cards, before they go to ladder. if you needed to pay for the content + grind cards people will scream "ripoff". for heroics: i don't know if they're too easy. you do have to put *some* thought into it or else they do run you over. it's easy once you got the idea, but that's kind of the challenge. plus: you have to design bosses around Zoo and Freeze Mage which are among the top decks. Maexxna did a fine job in this, but it sounds kinda hard to regularly do it | ||

I feel like the difficulty could be increased a bit, and I'm hoping the next few wings are. Even if they aren't, I'll still enjoy them. | ||
