Bad troll post over all though, I wont say you are wrong but my experience is much different and I have not seen an appreciable change in wait times in any of the three roles I play.
Remember: only signing up for one specific dungeon usually increases your wait time by a small amount in comparison to just choosing true random.
Devs shouldâve tried to move an iLevel-adjusted Ruby Sanctum to Phase 3. Wouldâve added another 30-45 minutes per mode; whereas with all the issues listed above, it seems unlikely P5 will change anyoneâs mind about staying or returning.
Idk, and im not at all trying to start an arguement over it, i guess my experience is just far different, the relatively consistent âpugâ I run with on one char on Sundays does 25m for a 3.5 hour run, always doing 5+ heroic, sometimes prog on a new one if the comp is right that week, and consistently on LK before that time expires. Worst case scenario id say a group should probably be finishing an ICC in about 4 hours if youâre doing prog on a new boss, imo and in agreement with sentiment Iâve seen quite a bit, if youâre doing prog it should be on one picked out boss that you put all your alloted prog time into, trying to get down the organization and consistency for a new heroic kill is enough of a hurdle, trying to do 3 or 4 new ones at once without beating the last just kinda means cutting practice time without result and working another half solved problem. If its like 6 or 8 hour runs and not wiping on the normal fights it kinda seems like the group either has people constantly going afk or is taking way too many breaks or is just taking forever and explaining a boss again after every wipe even though people should know it, if they donât theyâre the ones holding the group back consistently.
Am I missing some joke here? In one thread your âexpiration dateâ was February 14th 2024. Three days ago you posted January 6th 2024. Now itâs December 24th of 2023.
I like your ideas to help solve catchup and Iâm 100% down for them. When I presented the issue of catchup mechanics this community, as it always does, absolutely poopâd on me like I never wanted to play the game but wanted everything instant, which is not true.
I had a discussion last night hanging out with a new rogue friend, that Iâd love to roll a rdruid or feral on Whitemane where my rogue is. I immediately said no because the amount of time at this point to gear just doesnât make it fun, even if you boost something to 80. Having to run 50-90 gammas to gear up, plus doing your arenas, just zaps the fun out of trying something new.
It wouldnât be as bad if the game was more alive. Iâm happy that people have SoD but for me thatâs something I will never play, just like Classic Era or Classic Era Hardcore. Wrath is my jam.
Lastly, the idea of rerolling something and wanting to get into ICC and do that? By the time youâre up and running for heroic end game, weâre a month or two away from being done with Wrath.
I guess that stuff doesnât really bother me, I try to help when I can and have only ever considered a VTK when someone was unresponsive while wiping the group, or when someone is just being malicious. That said, as a healer I do feel like I can carry most groups to the end of a dungeon even if it sometimes means someone is dying a lot individually.
Also I agree gamma is pretty easy with the buffs and a decent group, which is why i would like to see further difficulties with higher rewards.
