ICC Attempts on Normal
Written by Wildchild.

Quote from: Daelo

After each region’s maintenance this week, raids will no longer lose attempts on wipes in Normal mode for Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana’thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King. There will still be limited attempts in Heroic mode.

We will continue to monitor developments in Icecrown Citadel in the future, especially since the Heroic difficulty has been unlocked by a significant number of raids.

Q: If you extend your raid lockout this week, will you still lose attempts on Normal after the hotfix?
A: No.

Q: If you run completely out of attempts on Heroic, will the wing bosses and Lich King no longer respawn, even if the difficulty is switched to Normal?
A: YES. So leave an attempt left if you wish to kill them on Normal. I’ll try and correct this in a future update.

Q: Why is the counter still visible in Normal?
A: The hotfix being applied just stops the counter decrementing, and nothing more.

    Damnslin, because as Blizz stated when wrath was released, they want everyone who essentially wants to face the lich king able to, the limited attempts on normal was more or less designed to let the hardcore guild get there first, now that they have their hard modes they won’t QQ about non-hardcore guilds being able to succeed at the same thing.

    They also said they would increase the number of attempts per boss as time went on. They didnt say they would remove them completly after the first week of the Lich King being killable.
