And now for something completely different

I hate Torghast! And, I hate it with a passion. Why? Because I love playing my characters. I don’t mind a similar concept of an endless dungeon which is a fairly safe choice. And, I don’t mind an occasional buff showing up if it doesn’t make my character someone they aren’t. (BTW, I even avoid mini-games.)

But Torghast isn’t like that at all; it quick[y turns my characters into someone they aren’t. And, I hate it! I can see how it would please mini-gamers and other non-rpg gamers. But why for the love of all that is Holy do you stick something with great potential in the middle of the game and make it horrible. It’s the Blizzard way is not enough of an answer.

Because Torghast is actually looking pretty awesome, that’s why

Is it because you enjoy playing something other than your chararters with their abilities–i.e. something you designed rather than Blizzard?

I’m the odd type who likes overcoming challenges and experiencing new things.

A mini-gamer then.

I’ve been here for 16 years. Perhaps you are the “mini-gamer.”

Nope be here since wrath. Avoid mini-games in all games. I like players my characters as my characters.

I’m looking forward to it, it looks like a lot of fun. I can see myself spending countless hours in there over the course of the expansion.

I would wait to see how Blizzard is going to gate Torghast before I said I liked it or hated it.

Right now they are testing everything so it might seem pretty appealing but if Blizzard is designing with the same intentions behind how they designed BfA then it may very well not be nearly as cool as the hype is right now.

Would it change for you if the dungeon changed endlessly but you character remained what you designed it to be to meet each challenge?

What part of Torghast turns your characters into something they aren’t?

If I’m walking down the street, and I find a slingshot and pick it up, and I suddenly not me anymore?

People want fun content outside of just dungeons and raids and YES even “RPG gamers” [talking as one who has/still plays a crap ton of Final Fantasy games,Phantasy Star,Dragon Quest,etc. stating what kinda gamers like this concept seems kinda gatekeepy,just sayin’.] The more options for player progression that cant be roadblocked by entitled streamers the better. If you don’t like it,simply don’t do it.

Can you explain how Torghast turned your character into someone they aren’t and how it turned into a minigame?

Wait, we designed Torghast? :laughing:

I’m sorry, but how does that make her a mini gamer? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

He/she told us they like overcoming challenges like that (which may lead to believe they might like roguelike dungeon games), and she’s a mini-gamer for that? that seems divisive.

That’s a real shame, cause theirs some good games filled to the brim with minigames. Spyro comes to mind, at least with 2nd and 3rd one.
