I absolutely agree, it’s been a mostly miserable experience, but I love the people in my guild too much to dedicate my time to a more hardcore mythic team.
I’ve been fortunate enough to get into a group last week that was relatively pleasant and just down to make mistakes/pull for a bit. We got Ulgrax down after something like an hour and a half of pulling and getting people to do mechanics.
I’m totally fine if people are chill about it, but good lord, most of them are just way too hot headed to prog anything more than Heroic. Stuff doesn’t instantly die, and they burst multiple blood vessels, I swear.
By 610 you have everything you need to beat 9s. Can do it lower if you’re quite skilled. But 610 is enough for 9s.
Would it be nice if the crests were earlier? Sure, but they are far from necessary. I’ve yet to see a player walled by 9s at a true 619 ilvl (all slots) yet and I’m fairly confient I won’t encounter one.
Honestly, 585 PVP gear and talents was enough to pull me through a +8 MoTS for me a couple of weeks ago. Timed it and kept up in DPS with both the Enh Sham and Fury War, with like 100k dps overall difference.
Given enough care and attention to mechanics, you can get by with some silly stuff in most content, at least as a DPS. Tanks and heals are less flexible in that regard, but 5-10 ilvls is definitely not going to be the make or break of a key in the 5-10 bracket.
Need? What does need have anything to do with gearing in an MMO? It’s a fundamental reward pillar in WoW. No gear, no reward, no point in playing for a lot of people.
If they were actually following the path of progression and doing the higher content, they wouldn’t be stuck at the 619 wall now would they? Seems like you just supported their point lmfao
That wasn’t the point in delves. Delves are intended as an alternative means of progression for those who lack the time or will to engage with M+ or mythic raids. Furthermore, T11s are every bit as difficult as high keys. It is therefore logical for T11s to provide a path to myth track gear and related upgrade currency.
Unrelatedly, c’mon man, Moon Guard? I thought you were better than that. Well, provided you’re the Aveyond from that other MMO. You know, the one currently immolating itself.
people want to be able to progress their characters. i’m not sure why that’s so difficult for people in this thread to understand. they’re asking for incentives to, you know, keep playing the game.
Season 3 of Dragonflight I got like 3 toons to 476ilvl
Season 4 I think it was 515
I always 8/8 Champion 4/6 Heroic cap myself.
What players need to accept, is that sometimes stuff will be out of reach. And unless you care to Mythic raid or love pushing high keys, it isn’t worth trying to push yourself hard enough to do it
It’s good that they have Mythic raids as standing above and beyond.
However they might as well not exist. The best in the world did not have much better gear than I have right now and it took them multiple weeks and hundreds of thousands of real world dollars in consumables to clear it.
If Blizzard wants to go with this model where there’s nothing left but Mythic Raids after the first month of a raid tier (we’re progressing 7/8 H and probably will have her down next week or the week after) one would think they’d make an effort to actually make them for someone other than professional gamers.
