8.2 Time gating still ruining the game

Was so excited for 8.2 to have a surplus of content again. Only to find out that after a few hours its basically all gone and put behind the old time gate trick.

Currently cannot go any farther in the War campaign, or rep for either faction. War campaign is locked behind leveing a follower to level 3 which can only be done with dailies, and well rep is going to be sprinkled a bit every day.

Few hours after a content patch and Im jumping up and down in town again…

Remove this artifical time wall and let players play the game at their speed.

Proving yet again 8.0 is just more of the same old grind behind even more time gating.

Player speed would make the zone no longer relevant the first week, and the hive mind would say there’s nothing to do anymore and no reason to go back to the zone.

Time-gating is the only remedy for it right?

It’s a realistic remedy for it yes.

the amount of content we as players can steamroll in a day, it’s unreasonable to expect the devs to drop everything simultaneously, and have the zone be enough to keep us busy all patch. It’s an unreal expectation the players have.

Yea sorry some people have lives. I only get to play a few hours a week and even i went through the content in less than 2 hours. This is a ridiculous excuse. The dev team has had months to build meaningful content. I work in project management and the amount of content we’ve seen today is nothing significant.

It’s like only the art team is pulling their weight and the gameplay team are a bunch of copycats ripping off the worst from previous expansions.

Follower is already level 2 from doing 3 simple quests.

Might want to actually give the patch a try before crying.

Stop being braindead and expecting them to let players steamroll nazjatar in under a weeks worth of play, only to turn around and complain there is nothing to do immediately after.

Expecting them to have thousands of hours of additional gameplay per patch is stupid.

Oh what a coincidence that it takes 3 and you get 2 a day. Wonder how that happened?

Thank you. Everyone seems to be crying non stop about ever detail of the game . It’s nice to see someone defending the game and devs for once.

If you think its asking for too much to ask to have more than a few hours of new content to play after a 3 month drought on the heels of a dead on arrival expansion then you sir are either the brain dead one or the Blizzard employee.

If you are asking for a patch long amount of content with no stops in place you are out of your mind.

That’s thousands of hours of grinding, imagine thousands of hours of story quests being added.

That’s a stupid request to make, and you make it every time you ask for the removal of time gates.

At what point did I ask for thousands of hours? What are you even talking about?

You are creating comments to voice your own narrative…

We are horribly disappointed that there is only a few hours of content for BOTH zones when it drops.

I expected more. Know why? Because I paid for it up front and I am still paying for it. So, yeah, very disappointed in this.

You want content to last all of this patch, that’s creating thousands of hours of content just to keep the zone relevant, as the frequency we play could power through all the content in a week.

Time gates need to be maintained to keep the zone relevant, and adding quests like collect 50,000 naga eyes to grind on for weeks is also not the answer.

To be fair, FO76 has had a mighty turn around, and is doing rather well gameplay wise.
