I mean… it is GD…
This is amazing news. This is what players initially wanted it for, right? Players are getting what they wanted again, thanks Bllizzard!
I hope you do these for more dungeons especially MOP dungeons and please scale AI dungeons and chromie time both up to 70, I could level up in those cute little mop dungeons with bots all day. No queue time for my dps characters is going to be sooo nice
It is. But it’s easier to forget such things when something more is assumed.
i dont see why they would limit this but not normal dungeons with other players? lol.
youre already getting an exp nerf and possibly a slower run to start with. it’s like a weird punishment for wanting to play alone w/ ai… “now that u ran 10 times…go on out there into the pit!” lol its just so blizzard like.
It’s pretty obvious why this is needed, pretty hilarious reading this thread the outrage of those with the mentality of a 5 year old acting like mom is limiting their screen time or something hahaha
Now you dont even know that
The official reason was to test preformance issues with non follower issues
And so actual players have to suffer? Sounds like blizzard half-asing something like always
How are you suffering?
I still have yet to figure out what it is people plan on doing in these dungeons that they need to be in them for over 3 or 4 hours a day.
Same people who spend 18 hours a day in Azeroth will be the first to call someone else a sweaty too
Please consider keeping it unlimited, but after 10 take away anything a bot would value: XP, gear, gold, drops, etc.
I was really looking forward to this feature for:
– fun leveling (not a fan of questing)
– getting more familiar with dungeons
– trying out new specs in tank and healing roles
…but I understand and endorse the need to prevent bots.
It may not be for bots. It could be to make sure instance servers aren’t throttled, there are no exploits, etc.
As an FYI, the XP is nerfed, so it’s not a new leveling tool.
Ummmmm… Leveling toons.
If you look right above your post, you’ll notice that you can’t use it for leveling.
I know the real reason. You see 20 years ago a prophet came to president Bush and told him about the future. He told him of a great apocalyptic moment in history when a game known as WoW would have to be shut down permanently because they overloaded their servers due to a new feature. Ladies and Gentlemen this feature is AI followers. It set off a catastrophic series of events which led to the downfall of the US economy.
It is of grave national security interest that this feature not fail, and thus the 10 dungeon limit was established. It took the greatest minds in the world to come up with this solution, and perhaps the initial cost is great but I assure you the long term cost is even greater. We must do only 10 or less AI follower dungeons a day or it’s our doom!
The why is right there.
They want to ensure the system works properly and can handle the amount of players who will use it. I’m guessing they don’t want a repeat of the problems Garrions brought when first released.
Yeah, I’m guessing it’s merely because of the amount of instances that will be created may increase drastically on launch so they want to ensure game and server stability. The fact that they say “initial” in the post leads me to believe this limit will likely be lifted quickly once they’ve ensured there are no major negative impacts and it’ll likely get bundled into our standard 10 instances per hour on a single server on an account
To reduce server load. If a group of the same number of people is doing follower dungeons compared to regular normal, not only do you need 5x as many instances, you need to run that many bots, which heavily use server resources.
They exist to pretend that blizzard actually cares for their casual playerbase. The standard bait and switch, release teasers of a new game mode that you sledge nerf just before release. they never intended for people to use it, they will use the fact that they dont to show how catering to the M+/Mythic raiders is the only way to go. If they set M+ and or BGs to ten a day per account you know what the results would be. So much for a “fourth pillar”
