More Anti-Boxer Content in 3.2

[Mercurio]

Well, having just read some intial impressions of the new dungeon being opened up in 3.2 (Trial of the Crusader), our worst fears have been realized:

More vehicles in dungeons and raids X(

Worst of all, they are used AGAIN in the very first encounter, meaning if you can't get past the very significant challenge of running 5/10 vehicles at once you are out of luck in seeing the rest of the content.

With Ulduar it only affected a 10-man raid (and there aren't that many of us crazy enough to be 10-boxers), but now it looks like it will affect the new 5-man content as well (meaning many/most of you will be screwed as well).

It really sucks being locked out of two patch's worth of new dungeon content for the sake of some vehicle encounters, especially since every non-boxer I have talked to has said they are pretty stupid, so easy they are boring, and are basically just a waste of time. I can't figure out why Blizzard would introduce such a radically different set of gameplay than we've experienced, learned about, or practiced during the first 80 levels of our character's development then make it mandatory for access to the rest of new content... twice in a row.

Disclaimers:
Yes, I know that one 10-boxer DID get past the first vehicle-based boss in Ulduar at least once, but how many of the rest of us have been successful at it?
No, we don't know all the details - maybe the first boss in the 3.2 dungeon will actually be boxable in regular mode, so it is too soon to say for certain that the entire new dungeon content is off-limits for us, but read the details - it doesn't sound good.

I'm usually very positive and upbeat on things, but this has me pretty discouraged.

Dont worry yourself too much about it merc. this is the way things have to go. right now there testing vehicles with easy encounters, they have to be easy as no ones had much experiance in vehicles, once people(boxers included) start to get used to them the enounters will get harder but with harder encounters usualy come the in game tools to help with them (assist macro, decurse mods etc) and its at that point boxers will start to see the benefit.

who knows, from reading that it might be zergable. All five toons nailing them with the shieldbreaker charging and attacking might insta gib them.

nolife posted a video of the encounter from the ptr here . its not boxers but you can see what its all about. i personally do not like the jousting combat even solo. it just seems uninspired to me, but we'll see where they take it. i just hope the 25 man dungeon isnt ruined with it.

"Anti-boxer" seems a dramatic label. That suggests intent.

Anyways, I hope the instance is fun (vehicles or not).

How many people tried?

I remember people saying the same thing about Oculus and "Aces High!" among others. We all adapted.

If its anything like the mounts you ride for the dailies, then it shouldn't be too bad.
