Awakening the Machine is too hard

I’d like an option to spawn multiple waves at once
it’s not even fun or engaging until you hit wave 15

Is it still there in retail?

I did that dungeon so many times and apparently knowledge of the gong is lost to time. No one ever used it or mentioned it at all.

I thought he wasn’t healable but I did it as a mw monk and was able to directly heal him.

Yeah but you can get a key! And I got the cool mount drop. I do it for coffer keys because it’s quick and easy.

Some prescription medications can help you remain conscious during dreadfully boring content. Consult your doctor or pharmacist today!

Awakening machine is basically an extra long time-gated WQ. It doesn’t need an increase in difficulty. Especially since it’s the source of multiple cosmetics and is required for 2 weekly quests.

Blizz could create higher difficulty levels, but keep the rewards identical. But let’s be honest with ourselves, no one would ever partake in the higher difficulty levels without superior rewards. And Blizz can’t be trusted with not moving all the most desired cosmetics to those higher difficulties, thus pulling up the ladder behind all the players who already got e.g. the mount and blocking off the lesser skilled or geared players.

And if you’re complaining about it just because you want the mount, then that too is laughable. Especially when compared to the Seisbarg or Aluneria grinds. Gotta put things into perspective.

I finally did this and it wasnt remotely hard. Does this thing have levels of difficulty? The rewards werent worth it either

I got the mount last week, but will still do it for the key and the rep. It’s really not that bad, you just kill the waves, click on him to move on, kill the waves, click on him to move on, pretty easy, at least for my WW monk here. Heal him between waves, heal myself if needed or kick those medical bots to heal him as well. I don’t even find it that slow, but I don’t super speed through everything, so maybe it’s just me. I obviously only speak for myself. :slight_smile:

They should save the waves for the week until it resets so I can go back if pesky RL comes knocking.

I feel like they could do more with it.
A speed run option would be nice though.

But… why? He never went under 90% HP, even in my lowest ilvl fresh 80s…
And then the medibots drop healing objects that heal both you and the NPC for absurd amounts (3M on crits).

It’s just not fun. it is the last thing I do and I don’t mean last thing on my main. I play all my alts too then Sun or usually Mon I force myself to do it once just for the rep. But it’s very easy except I can see how wave 19 could be hard for some classes

It was interesting the first week in crap gear. But it does seem like it’s some kind of unfinished experiment.

It’s the first thing I do. I get the stupid ugly stuff out of the way.

Awakening the machine was stupid easy on day 1. However, knowing blizzard, they would add more waves to make it harder but still require you to do the first 20 easy waves. So now you’re bored doing 40 waves of trivial content.
