Do you like this pace of rapid filler content?

So this current pace of filler content has been pretty much non-stop.

After 2 months with 11.1 we jumped into Dastardly Duos and Flames Radiance and then the Greedy Emissary and Collector’s Bounty shortly after and it looks like we’re jumping into 11.2 pretty soon. If you’re a collector, you’ve been kept busy.

Do you enjoy this pace or do you like a little bit of dead time in between patches?

Edit: Forgot to mention Visions and Overcharged Delves!

Plenty of dead time for me considering how unappealing these mini-games all are.

It’s a bit nuts, and I generally like this stuff.

I’m managed to keep up for the most part, but I’m getting burnt out.

Might need to reign it in a little next patch. With my own will if need be.

I enjoy the ability to have a lot to do but I’m not forced to do it. I did duos once for achievements but never did it outside of that. I didn’t do collectors bounty because I like the mounts I have. Visions was fun for me and I engaged in that. I like having all these options I can do, but I don’t feel like I’m forced to do in order to keep up.

I’d like it if they spent the time revamping older zones one at a time instead of giving us stuff like the siren isle.

It depends on the time.

If this was end of the year no issues because my IRL time is more plentiful then.

Just based on my personal circumstances, it’s made my last 3 months go incredibly fast. It has felt like a bit of the rush between WoW, parties and catchups and work to get everything I want done.

Flip-side somethings they have made easy anyway like being able to do all DD chapters in the last week (only thing you miss out on are the week by week FoS which isn’t a biggie IMO). Alot of the events are ‘do a bit’ and you’re set unless you’re after collectables like Horrific Visions.

So yes I don’t mind this pace, but I’d equally be happier with longer seasons too.

No. I do not prefer trickle content releases or the recycling of old content, unless for anniversary events.

Duos got me cause of that stupid turtle mount… turtles and pigs/boars are my thing.

I’m okay with it :man_shrugging:

When I caught wind that they were trying to pick up the pace on content releases what came to mind was more dungeons, more delves, maybe some mini-raids, y’know…actual content.

I didn’t think we’d just be rapidly recycling slop.

My pal asked me one night (I think the night before it went away?) “hey can you help me get the 1 million points achieve”. And well, 3 of us went in, I had no idea and he explained the mechanics as we were exploding but we got him the stuff!

Honestly, no.

While I wasn’t planning on sticking around WoW for long when I decided to try TWW about two and half months ago (less than two weeks left before sub expires), the rapid pace of slop content and crap content to do has only accelerated my growing distaste for the game.

I can recognize when the game is trying to give me the run-around, and that appears to be WoW’s general structure these days.

most of this has felt like busy work.

I did most of it to get the specific rewards I found interesting, but that was it. there was some useful daily content in hallowfall for some catchup gear. outside of the main storyline to unlock an enchanted crest, i did very little in the undermine area.

I think I did two Duos, and I was, like, “what is the point?”

i have liked some of the mounts we could earn along the way.

the charged delves mount is plain awesome. I liked building the void cycle in the visions. the inarius charger was annoying to “earn”.

having said all that, I am not sure how much m+ i am going to do this next season. I will probably run my VDH to 2k to get that mount, but I am thinking that I might end up running one of my alts to main all the solo/delve content after that. maybe next season, this busy work stuff will be enough to keep me busy.

I can’t imagine the pressure of working with these 8 week patch cycles and deadlines they have now. I think it probably burns out a lot of the devs and employees at Blizzard who work on WoW.

I enjoy the new content patches, but I haven’t yet adjusted to how quick new content is being released. And no, I don’t feel forced to do any of it.

Its fine, things to do that for the most part aren’t mandatory or quick n easy for the parts that are. I skipped a lot of it, but I have guildies that got into the events.

its good they release more stuff i guess. i dont really like much of it, but im sure plenty do.

I don’t really see the issue. Sure dastardly duos was a train wreck but the rest has been pretty decent.

Its quick content for down times I think its fine myself.

I thought undermine was pretty bad so ive really liked having these extra activities to do.
Its kept me entertained while i ignored the main content :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve really enjoyed it. I finished each event before the next one came out and none of them were time consuming enough to distract from my seasonal goals. I didn’t enjoy all of them (Dastardly Duos was benignly pointless) but that happens. Overall, I liked more than I disliked.
