I get that you don’t want to overwhelm people and that’s why you are spreading 4 additional phases after launch over 8 weeks.
However 2 weeks between each phase is way to long. 1 Week for each phase (maybe 2 weeks for just Phase 1 to Phase 2) would be a far better pace for everyone as not much world content is added in the Broken Shore and Argus.
Agreed. If they must time gate, maybe try 2 weeks (1 of them to focus on leveling), then weekly afterwards.
I unsubbed recently (no rage, just bored). I might be back for Legion Remix if it sounds awesome, but I probably won’t bother until everything is opened up.
MoP Remix was EXTREMELY fun and some of the most fun I have had in WoW, I 100% it including the FoS Mythic SoO.
I highly recommend coming back when it launches in October (probably at the start of Phase 2 because all of the Suramar content will be out and 3 total raids which will be enough to sink your teeth into). My only gripe is the time gating of phases being a little bit to long (2 weeks instead of 1) and no Mage Tower appearances (I have most of them) but I plan to 100% Legion Remix as well.
But Lemix is nothing at all like MoP Remix. The gearing is pretty much identical to live WoW, so it’s just a parallel gear treadmill…with bronze.
Well right now each new phase won’t increase the max ilvl of gear you get. It’s not the 1st PTR build anymore.
It’s still a grind, as the ilvl boost on subsequent drops as you gear is extremely incremental. The phases don’t change this; they just give us less to do for too long (IMO).
No - there should be no phases at all.
Remix is a time-limited event, all the gearing is gone for good anyways when it is over.
I loved MoP Remix but I don’t think I will be able to repeat the formula here.
They will either need to:
Speed up the power curve dramatically or
Speed up bronze acquisition at lower levels of power dramatically in order for it to be worth my while.
I did MoP entirely solo (completely ungrouped). It was a slower path to power, but it was doable, and it left me plenty of time to collect bronze for all of the purchases. I even played a couple of extra weeks at the end, just because I enjoyed it.
Legion Remix seems like it might be a bit more RNG and content-dependent (no buying upgrades), if so, I could end up in a situation where upgrades for me only drop in content I can’t do. If that happens, I have to hope that the content that I CAN do, will give me enough Bronze to hit 8 or 9 million (which seems unlikely at this point).
The gating on the content just decreases my odds at success, and for the moment, probably puts things out of reach… so I will hold out for a bit and watch for improvements.
Extremely unpopular opinion but I feel like it needs to be stated:
I’m kinda okay with the initial timegate at least, now that we know both the first portion of Turbo Boost and Lemix are being released at the same time. I’m kinda already feeling overwhelmed thinking about that lol
I don’t absolutely hate it (it’s more of an annoyance) but I really don’t see an up side to the delays.
If I come back, it will basically just be for the Legion event, so running out of stuff that I want to do (because there are intentional omissions of content) is just not going to feel good.
I realize that different people have different motivations though.
