Why arent people just allowed to upgrade as many times as they can run vision and kill nzoth on every difficulty untill they are caught up to the current hard cap?
Do you NOT want players to come back to this game? like who comes up with these decisions. How exactly do these conversations go in blizz offices. Its mind bogling.
You know it’s either full clear of visions or killing N’zoth.
Edit: and my response to OP is, that is against what Blizzard’s current objective is. Not to rush content but to make sure people play as often as possible.
Agree. The expac is basically at the end of its content run and still they won’t relax the catchup mechanics. Even at the very end of it all they make Playing an alt terrible.
MAU (monthly active users)/whatever metrics they use.
So if I at least play enough to get coalescing, then do the vision to upgrade my cloak for that week, it makes the game look more successful to shareholders than if I only log in once every 2 weeks plus and do it a whole bunch.
It is engineered to make you log in for that time at least once a week. Thank you for reminding me I still have to do mine
A lot of us who can do a full clear, don’t have the option of N’zoth on normal. So yes, we are “forced” to keep up with the ONCE a week thing
Yeah, so my alts don’t even have the cloak yet (they’d be too far behind anyway, since I’m never going to be weekly killing N’zoth on normal.) But I can manage to keep up on this one character.
Nice chart showing the cloak limit, by date per week:
5/5
71
5/12
74
For example, I’m 68 because I’ve yet to do it this week to get to 71 resist (on the 15 rank cloak.) Then, starting Tuesday 5/12, I can get to 74 that week. You really do start to notice a difference, as it gets further up there (with how the vision gets easier.) I’m betting at 80 it feels really big.
I got one cloak to level 6 and then just gave up. On my alts I only get to level 1 then stop. Too much effort for no or little reward. The reward doesn’t equal the effort. I doubt I will get the cloak any higher ranked and will just park them until the next expansion. This current system is just not worth it.
They don’t want people to catch up. This is the future of the game, one of the “lessons” they took from classic, that the game feels more epic to those who did grinding from the start of an expansion if new and returning players don’t have any way of catching up.
Agreed. I don’t even bother with the dailies any more & only time I stay or go to where the assaults are is when one with a mount I don’t have is up(only need two more). Otherwise I just run around and kill rares & do those little events till I can get my chest and go.
I don’t know why this feels so bad in BfA but it’s true.
I mean, yeah, we got the hamster wheel of glorious repetition and more currencies than we know what to do with… but besides that… BfA has just felt off for me.
What’s to relax? The max you can get is 4 pages a run. The runs are only limited by the amount of CV you have…it’s not hard to get 40-50 a week if you do all the things.
