So, I was looking forward to the follower dungeon bit. Now with the announcement of the limit on daily usage, not so much. I’m one of the folks that has concerns about messing up other folks runs in dungeons and had hoped I could use the follower dungeon feature to learn the various roles in a dungeon, pathing, etc on my own with the AI toons and then when I felt comfortable with my skills in them attempting LFG. With this restriction, it’s just going to make that whole process take that much longer. Just wanted to get my opinion on that out here. It’s not like these are really a viable way to spam them and get the uber loots and such, so, I don’t get the 10 limit.

The “but muh bots” excuse i seen people tryna cite in the thread for it is pretty hilarious tbh.
They did say “initial limit” so let’s hope they will remove that quickly after whatever they are testing.
I also thought it was about bots (instanced and solo, so nobody to report, insta queue so predictable timings)
I wonder what exactly is AI about the NPCs and wonder if they’re trying to reduce the load so they’re not calling on whatever server thing these NPCs use too much.
The NPCs are actually coded super well from even early PTR testing. I’m curious how they taught the NPCs positioning.

My guess is they are expecting this to be very popular and want to not strain their servers too hard at first.

Server strain, lots of people will be trying it out initially. Once the hype dies down they drop the limit. Anyway, 10 per day is a lot!

Doubt it’s so much of a bot issue but more of a server issue. It’s a new feature and probably feel it may get flooded so the limit is in place to ease into the feature till the hype dies down.
Not when you have as many 60-70 toons and undergeared 70s as I have. 10 per day will go very fast for me.

Its not so bad. You can run 10 of them per month and it resets next month to try again.
You’ll probably be able to get 5-6 hours a day of practice in, plenty of time to pick things up in less than a week, especially if you’re going as DPS.

It’s because you’re testing it for them and they’ll remove the limit when you’re done.

I read someone else say XP was being nerfed in follower dungeons too. I dont know if thats true or not but if so that sucks too.
There it is.
Doing 2 already sounds tiring enough for me let alone 10

Relax they said they were going to keep an eye on it.
Surely they have data that shows players these are content for will buy a 12 month subscription if the number they can do is restricted.
For most people 10 will be enough and if then you want to do more then there was always this option to do group content with real people. I know scary.

Right, I’m trying to figure out how many these people think they will actually do a day.

Sadly, follower dungeons won’t teach anyone how to do keys because normal dungeons lack any real dangerous mechanics. LFR is tourist mode. Follower dungeons will be walk on the beach mode. They’re going to be slightly less brain dead than the dungeon in Exile’s Reach.
