9.2 preview tomorrow

Some of the runs are used on the wheel, and some are new. It feels like a new horizontal progression system.

God I hope not.

Explain these new classes because I don’t know what they do.

Finally! A skirt and hair bow for my boomkin.

Whatever it brings, let it be a zone that isn’t:

  • Hell
  • A version of hell
  • A green wasteland that feels like hell
  • A grey expanse that looks like hell

Enough with the hell. It’s like the game’s been turning into ā€œSelf-flagellation Simulatorā€ for years now.

No, the entire world does not need to ā€œfeel dangerous.ā€ Yes, dangerous areas can exist, but let players move two inches without pulling half a dozen mobs, making anti-dismount equipment mandatory and leading to reductive gameplay that mainly sees dozens of players riding away trailing NPCs behind them.

Let us decide when we wan to be in combat and when we don’t. Stop placing quest targets like ā€œsoulsā€ exactly at the edge of the aggro range of mobs.

And stop designing zones that make a depressing life feel even more depressing. I mean, we’re living through a pandemic, so why would anyone want to get some escapism in The Maw or Korthia? Or even in Maldraxxus, which was designed before the pandemic but which is one of the most unpleasant questing zones the game’s ever seen.

And as far as systems go, stop crippling casuals. There’s a HUGE amount of players that DO NOT WANT to ā€œgraduateā€ to organised mythics or raiding, but still want to have a reason to come back and play the game every day. Korthia didn’t cut it, sorry. It was gated too hard to force raiders to do it for sockets, and those who just wanted gear… well, yeah. The ā€œfunā€ wears off quickly.

It’s a theme and yes it’s depressing but I think we’re done with it and are heading away from the darkness to the light now,hopefully.

What is everyone hoping for? For me new raid with class sets is a big one, shadowlands was supposed to bring back tier gear and we haven’t gotten that yet. Beyond that a new dungeon and an upgrade to twisting corridors would be my ideal patch functions. 9.1.5. actually got most of the quality of life things I wanted.

Beyond that though I’m also expecting but don’t want renown going to 120 another new zone to grind for power in that will be the only way to upgrade conduits and another borrowed power system that will have an unfortunate core issue during launch that will be fixed within several months to a year after 9.2 release.

So you want 9.2 to be Guild Wars 2

Me: Oh cool, 9.2 speculation thread

Also me, a minute later: Uh… cool… armor dye thread?

For what it’s worth, I think the runes represent the tier sets returning this patch (without the option to dye them).

They don’t match domination runes, frostmourne runes, dragon alphabet, or orcish glyphs, titan runes, elvish runes, ir arcane or demonic runes either.

Wow I’d quit if they wasted dev time on more cosmetics. We need content

I want housing, but have a strong feeling itll be one of the main 10.0 features. Ill settle for revisted wrath zones and Zereth Mortis in 9.2 Maybe even an Arthas/Syvlanas storyline wrap up that’s been culminating since Warcraft 3.
