AI should be used for all dungeon queues

Gotta say AI would be an interesting solution for mythic plus droppers. Might save a few keys on those that drop mid dungeon.

Imagine if they programmed a special dps AI that would bad mouth the party with snark and bad jokes. But did reasonably ok dps. Then had a 25% chance of running off with the loot and calling everyone a loser. The flavor would feel like home for a mythic plus player.

If you assume there will always be a support class
5 man:
1tank
1 healer
1 support
2 dps

6 man:
1tank
1 healer
1 support
3 dps

Then going to 6 man dungeons is a 50% increase in dps!

This just means more people need to join as tank or healer.

I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion, but it’s what will happen with the segment of the playerbase that queues into content as their main focus.

Sure but you’re also hoping a whole lotta people wanna play support, otherwise you’re a net loss in queue times for everyone.

Can the AI follower suggest the player dispels, purges, stuns, interrupts, buffs, self heals etc?

If new players join the game, do follower dungeons, and then graduate to playing with other people and are doing all these things, that would be an improvement.

I did a throne of the tides +14 on an alt last night with three shamans, and I don’t think I saw capacitor totem used once, and seldom a wind shear. Also little to no self healing to help out the healer who typed more in chat than anything else. We did not time it.

Just isn’t going to happen. Most healers or tanks won’t queue unless it’s with guildmates because some of them have felt or heard the horror stories of the toxic player base. Some are only into hardcore gameplay and won’t risk their keys to fail and time out on mythic content.

I personally use to love to heal or tank dungeons no matter how much I paid in repairs, but I refuse to do it now because of toxic elitest jerks. When did it become bad etiquette not to work together and help each other out and explain how or why something works the way it does? Can’t count how many times I’ve asked questions in general, party or raid chat and got nothing but crickets.

That’s a no from me dawg. I rather sit in queue for a group of other players. I say that as someone who really only plays dps classes/specs.

Mythic plus dungeons aren’t queued content.

Either way it’s more spots for dps which will reduce queue times.

What I think is this, the people that are super opposed don’t want to not have the ability to trash talk a regular player and afraid if they design an AI that can out do their e-peen, it starts trash talking them. :rofl: :joy: :rofl:

What I think is that generally, a players own behavior is reflected back on them. If you’re always polite, and play well as part of the group, people will reciprocate.

I can only speak from my own personal experience, but the vast majority of the time, My groups are well behaved. I join up, I say some form of a hello, drop a feast if it’s a M+, then after they say TY, I tell a self deprecating joke about how I have a fishing problem. Usually gets a laugh.

Maybe ask how people are doing if we’re waiting on a 4th or 5th. Very rarely do I see bad behavior.

I don’t queue into dungeons often but it’s basically a similar experience.

:man_shrugging:

Maybe. I’d be pretty surprised if the wait didn’t get worse as needing 3 non-dps would push times up significantly, especially if Augvoker stays the only support spec for a while.

Yeah anything that takes more than 5 minutes is not worth doing, right zoomie? Maybe we could also add Family Guy and Subway Surfers clips to the UI while we play so our minuscule attention span doesn’t have to go unstimulated for more than 1.43 seconds!

You absolutely don’t need Aug. So definitely shorter.

In a 6 man with a required support, there’s no other option, so yea, you would. (At least in the scenario we’re discussing)

Why would it be required?

I queue as a tank but just do it in dps spec because the difficulty is a joke.

Because that’s what we were talking about.

There are no slots in a group. Why would they make it so one has to be support? That makes no sense and it would never happen.
