Just did my first M+. That timer is SO STRESSFUL

My gosh, that timer just puts so much pressure on me.

I get not wanting people to take 10 hours doing a dungeon, but it’s all just gogogoogogogodon’tstopkeepgoingmovemovemove I’m not allowed to catch my breath. And oh gosh don’t even think of dying!

Must Beat The Timer!

I mean, FF14 had timers on their dungeons, but it’s pretty generous.

Can’t we just keep eSports for the competitions and relax a bit in a game?

You dont need to rush unless youre trying to +3. You can easily take your time, do pulls one by one like intended and still +1 as long as you do mechanics.

And yes, dying is a bad thing to do when youre in a timed run and youre punished for it. Not sure why youd think dying would ever be rewarded. Does FF14 not have a penalty for dying? do you just get ressed and act like nothing happens?

You know you can do normal Mythics as well, right? Nobody is forcing you to do M+. Not quite sure what point you are trying to make.

No penalty other than the time it takes to rez someone. FF14 has unlimited battle rezzes. Just a stupid long rez time unless you use a spell to shorten it.

WoW not only penalizes you for dying by taking the time to rez someone, they also dock that bloody clock.

For me it’s not the timer itself as much as it is a timer combined with desire to not let teammates down and the performance expectations that come with that. For me in group settings, doing well is more important than being timely and having the two butt up against each other isn’t fun.

In a solo environment where there’s no group fate that’s in my hands, it’s no problem. Give me timers all day. Things like horrific visions are great. In a group setting on the other hand, I much prefer that unrecoverable failure (which by the considerations of most, not timing a key qualifies as) not be a possibility.

The thing is that we’ve been doing these dungeons for a few years now.

Personally i don’t even pay attention to the timer, i got KSM without actually trying.

I did forget about the Horrific Visions timer.

You make a good point. That one didn’t bother me as much.

But in a group, it’s a different pressure altogether.

Hello, I see you’re not particularly thrilled about the timer in Mythic+. Note that Mythic+ is a world-renowned gaming feature that is beloved by many in the WoW community, and its consistently bug-free gameplay only further aids in its ability to offer one of the best gaming experiences that any gaming community can experience. Do note that Developers do consider all feedback from the forums, so your voice is being heard. I wish you the best in your future Mythic+ runs and hope you enjoy the rest of your morning!

no we gots to go fast

SO there is a penalty lol.

Why does FF14 have a such a bad penalty for dying? Why dont you just always stay alive? Why force people to use a stupid long rez spell thus making the fight last longer?

you get a nasty damage stat debuff as well

you didnt mention key level or ilv of the group

Kinda, yeah. In higher end content no, because it does debuff you and there are dps/healer/tank checks. In the comparable level of content the OP is describing though? Absolutely.

They haven’t even done any dungeon on mythic difficulty going by achievements. So this is likely a troll post.

WoW started using bots on the forum?

Why?

You can literally pull a single pack at a time and time everything up until probably like the low 20s range

I have a special type of WoW account which lets me have more than one toon. I don’t know if you can buy that multi-toon account in the store if you look there. Maybe it’s just for friends of the developer.

Were you in a pug or were you playing with folks you know? Jumping in with pugs is usually a bad time, so it’s best to run with some folks who can walk you through the dungeon and aren’t bothered with mistakes.

My first time tanking this expac I was blessed to have multiple 3.5k io players walking me through each dungeon pack by pack. That’s not a typical experience, but it really set my mind at ease and made me feel far more confident.
