No matter how much someone plays, if they play casual content, they cannot progress to true endgame levels of power and it feels terrible.
Casual content is stuff like heroic/normal dungeons, LFR, and world quests. If I get capped out on that gear after a couple weeks, what’s even the point of playing?
In a game like Diablo 3 I can play whatever content I want and at least progress a little, which feels good.
Give casuals a reason to play the game at endgame Blizzard. I may as well just quit once I hit max level because I cannot progress to real endgame levels of power no matter how much I play unless I do non casual content.
Time played should be rewarded not just difficulty of content played.
Agreed, all activities should give some currency, the harder the activity the more currency, you then can use that currency to upgrade your gear to max ilvl.
Also give more fun solo activities like visions/torghast
Now if some insecure pvers are angry that they dont get to feel special by hoarding all the mythic ilvl gear that is their problem, a game isnt a place to find your self worth.
I might be an outlier here, but as a casual player, most of the Mythic tier raids, and raids themselves are really casualized if you have a large enough guild. my guild has at least 1 raid going at all times. as long as i can play for more then 2 hours, i can normally snag raids, or just join in and talk as i play a Round of BG before i gotta get ready for work.
What do you define as, “true endgame levels of power”? Full Mythic gear? What do you need that gear for? Those who do Mythic need it to keep doing Mythic.
No you actually can’t. In D3 the best gear aka sets don’t drop before torment and you can’t get primals until you can do a gr70 solo. You do not need mythic level gear for heroic in fact it makes heroic a snooze fest to have it.
Well i am about as casual as you can get. I have pretty much completed the expansion. (My definition.) My DK and Shaman are about iLvL 445. So I’m pretty happy with the way things are right now.
Which is fine. I can pretty much run anywhere in game and can roll through anything I run. Not into Mythic dungeons, and have only done LFR. Shaman is in a Horde guild with a group that runs alts through Normal on off nights. Might give that a go. We’ll see how that goes.
If you want OP end game power, go do OP endgame content to get it.
Okay, so now you’re saying that you shouldn’t have to be skilled and have to work hard to get a really high ranking?
Or are you still talking about gear? Gear is only needed to clear the content. Everything you do can be done easily with the gear you get by doing it. And that includes playing at your particular skill level in PvP, which if I recall correctly has scaling too doesn’t it?
I just meant basic mythics (not +/timed) if you’re doing normal and heroic at the moment. If you become very comfortable with those, you can always challenge yourself—and the low ones I think are pretty casual.
The other way to raise your item level without worrying about random groups is through visions. Keep progressing your cloak and filling out the talents next to MOTHER. Bottom talent, you’ll be able to start doing mask runs. 1 mask is very easy, your item level is high enough now. By 5 masks, you get 470 gear.
Also, normal raids are flat out easier than LFR. They’re basically the same exact thing with better loot. And generally people paying more attention.
No, that’s the whole problem. It doesn’t matter how much time I put in, the content, not time is limiting how far I progress. And it’s more of a toxicity thing than skill when it comes to doing the more difficult content. The games not hard to push the right buttons at the right time. Don’t have the patience for the D bags.
