Full of crashes, pugs that can’t be trusted, and mechanics that can only be described as needlessly and egregiously punishing. And to think Blizzard said this would be like the mage tower challenges from Legion. This garbage isn’t even close to the quality that the challenges were. I rarely ever post on the forums but this is so bad that even I felt the need to voice my displeasure with this patch. It is trash.

Pugs can never be trusted. Don’t pug them. They’re perfectly solo-able.

I wish. The one for the rank 6 cloak keeps killing me, demoralizing.
Because u can’t pug it doesn’t mean it’s bad content. It’s an mmo, find friends to do it with. If you can’t do that then don’t do visions.

Why would you PuG a vision lol. There is literally no point in doing so. Grab a friend, grab a guildie or just go by yourself.
Horrific Visions only suck if you have bad luck with a d/c which can’t be helped, or if you just do the bare minimum.
Pushing Horrific Visions whilst not quite like Mage Tower is actually still rather fun. Challenge yourself, break out of your comfort zone for a change.

I can’t change your mind because only you like what you like. My experiences with them are severely different than what you’ve encountered.
I went the solo route and enjoy the little bit I’ve done so far.
I have some friends that want me to run one with them, so I might try that over the next few days and see how the group experience is. I don’t think I’d take the PuG route because I don’t want to cause someone to rage because I pulled the entire city.
Been a lot of bugs it sounds like, I hope those get ironed out soon, for those that have endured them. Luckily, I haven’t yet.

How geared if your character? I assume it’s your DK?
I found I could complete 2 bonus objectives + thrall with rank 3 cloak and around 335 ilvl, but that is on a DH.
Are you doing both the easy wings? Or could you possibly be accidentally accessing the one that hits for 12 sanity instead of 8?
Change your mind? How about corrupt your mind???!

The only thing I don’t really get why the mechanics are so unforgiving for what is essentially casual content that everyone is doing. Hours of grinding can be wiped out by a single mistake which is a bit ridiculous. You can go wipe 500 times on a mythic boss. Screw up once in a vision? Sucks for you.

335? 335 will not even complete intro quest chain, he’ll just die to regular mob in uldum
The one shot mechanics are too much. If they changed that it would be fine. Visions are more punishing than a lot of early mythic raid bosses.

/shrug.
I didn’t find it that difficult lol.
Might be like 338ish maybe instead?
And for the folks who dislike PvE period… ?
Something that needs more than 1 braincell is implemented into the game and the forums explode, lovely.
Play them as a Blood DK. You will hate your life if you’re trying to get your corrupted chest from the areas to try and get your rank 2 essence.
Which mechanics one shot? All of them are very easily avoidable from what I have experienced.
I guess at low ilvls maybe?
I know my boosted Lock had issues, but he was less than 400 ilvl.
I simply didn’t have enough time to kill Thrall, got him to around 3% but I had been hit by one Seismic Slam which took off the sanity I would have needed to finish it.
Just do Thrall? Takes like 5 mins tops. After rank 6 you can choose to continue or not. Sanity isn’t a required mechanic in PvP so not upgrading your cloak is less punishing.
That being said though, being able to challenge yourself makes the PvE content more enjoyable anyway if it’s not something you are into.
Honestly my biggest issue with HF so far is that some of the mobs + modifiers are the purest bull; I wound up trying to push into the second SW zone and the modifer switched to this thing that left firey zones on the ground that routinely made it unsafe to engage with my arms warrior which would be fine if I could LOS some of the mobs but they had no problems seeing me through the walls. Oh and some of these mobs have sanity damage effects and stupidly large health pools so I can’t burn them that fast.
And of course I’m stuck doing this whole thing with a timer and limited opportunities to refresh it.
Really, this thing would be a lot less egregious if we were getting the currency to run these stupid things more quickly.

Biggest issue with visions is control. Most of the mechanics are non controlled stuns / push forward / automatically going down in sanity. So its a gear/scale check. Its a real big issue that blizzard has been doing since the passed 2 xpacs. Its just a bunch of random stuff connected and if you outscale u can fail as many times as you want and WILL get it done with talents/azerite/essences/corruption/horrific console talents… its just ridiculous. Mage towers were much better designed BUT AGAIN i lvl started to go nutso and made it much easier for most people as well. Mythic+ would have been sooooo much cooler if they did what Challenge modes did and set you at a certain i lvl. Don’t pug these unless you know the people as well, best to keep pugging to a minimal on these.
Four.
Months.
Later.
Seriously, just make a new thread at that point.
And the mechanics are all under your control, you just need to learn them.

So easy to get punted into an area you can’t get out of by that bug right outside of Rexxar’s area. Have lost a vessal twice thanks to that. Plus being feared into barrels or other doodads. There are far too many CC abilities that don’t mix well with certain insanity effects. At this point no reason these bugs should still exist but I guess as long as it hinders player progress they don’t care.
Imagine if being punted into those places somehow helped players? Would be fixed within 24 hours and they would probably ban some players who were apart of it. But a bug that hurts players… Meh leave it.
