You would barely progress towards any of the gear caps or actual reach any of the rewards from korthia if you did that. The pacing and the zone was designed with the intention that you would grind the chest and bosses, and pretending otherwise is just obtuse. What you’re saying is basically the same as saying, well, you can stop playing the game altogether and ignore all the bad design choices. Which is true. Unfortunately, that just happens to be what everyone is doing right now. Quitting the game.
I’m casual and I completed my weekly, turned in a relic and almost soloed the (ok I had my pet ) the 3 man daily quest .
Had him down to 25 % when another hunter showed up .
My highest level gear is the 9.1 quest rewards upgraded oh and my legendary is rank 1.
I also know that this is week 1 of the patch and more will open to do like the new campaign as time goes on and renown opens more chapters .
If people are in such a I want it now mood , I honestly don’t want to here there is nothing to do down the road.
Catchup is easier for anima , soul ash and not only that we can also mount up in the Maw and by next week most will be able to fly in the covenant zones .
That should make doing the 1k anima quests easier to do .
So, I have 6 lvl 60 chars, 5 with Renown 40. I do not have KSM because I decided I didn’t want to concentrate on a single character - I wanted my army of alts in every profession.
Well, now that I have that, I’ve come to the realization that I don’t have to play every alt every day. It’s ok for some of them to languish, the way they did when I was getting my main character to max renown.
If 9.2 is as far away as 9.1 was, there’s going to be plenty of time to get my characters up, and in the meantime, they’ll all have flying (for non-Maw/Korthia content), and plenty of Soul Ash because I can transfer it over from my main.
It feels overwhelming because there’s a lot of 9.1 right off the bat. Just give it a little time.
It’s been out for a whole 2 days. Did you expect for get everything that fast. Most of my characters outside of my monk are played casually and I’ve already gotten upgrades and enough artifacts to get them to 207.
1st week but. Just doing that will give you the weekly completion easily. I dont know what you people seems to think you need to be 233 ilvl straight away. You’ll be the same people complaining a couple of weeks from now how you have nothing to do in this game
you also have a few months to upgrade this set. You want something to strive for well there is it. This is week one and for someone who keeps saying you’re “casual” you sure want everything week 1
Maybe I’m missing something, but it would take 100k+ research to max out a set of korthia gear to 233, and that’s assuming that the reputation wouldnt gate you from upgrading (which it probably would, meaning you’d have to grind more than that in the process). Only getting 500 a day, as you suggest, would take you more than half a year (220 days) to achieve that number. So some time in patch 9.3. Obviously, people will be grinding the chest and bosses and will get more than that (because that’s how the zone and the rewards were designed), but the point is that your suggestion is not realistic. It’s also just not even a fun system.
Also, literally no one in this thread said they wanted the gear all maxed the first week, that’s such a corny argument.
Not sure you understand what a “casual” player is.
If you spend literally 10 hours straight farming Korthia to do one quest, that isn’t “casual.”
Yet that’s what’s required for one of the Archivist quests. Because of zone size, random chest spawns, and the way the quest was poorly designed, it’s almost impossible to do the quest quickly unless there’s no one on your server except you.
Does anyone remember Veiled Argunite from Legion 7.3? You got tons of them from doing the invasions and world quests on Argus, and could farm rares and treasures for additional nominal amounts if you had more time.
I think that this is what OP was expecting, but instead we got something where you can’t efficiently get your currency for gear for all your alts and wait until the next reset for more; you have to stay online and farm on the same character.
As usual, Legion did it better.
Dear Game Devs,
Please copy and paste all systems from Legion. No changes or numerical tweaking allowed, as you have shown time and again that you can only make things worse. Plug in SL story and art and we have a great expansion. Thank you.
The game rewards plenty. you get gear and mounts and everything else its just lower power. you’ve really gotta stay in a self centered box to think theres nothing for you.
If you’re struggling to do world content and can’t even get basic WQ gear or make a group the issue is you.
NOw when my lock gets here I will like the place. the 200 gear is there. Yay…she 174 now.
Its jsut a let down for the chars I Have fixed gear to197 to 207 (world boss drops).
Some of it is literally sitting in the bags. I want/need my pvp gear with versatility more. And the indiana jones bit trickles in kind of slow…
SO I will be favoring 197 gear for a while until I get the currency to get many pieces 210’s.
An ilevel cutoff should have been here.
Did you come here 197 higher all slots? Lets give you the ilevel of whatever stage 1 is gear at least. Lets save you 1 upgrade cycle. YOu cared to 197 at least…prorate that for ya.
