I’m just happy to see a single bm hunter possibly getting the title. All season I got told by pugs that it was completely worthless but there’s one guy in eu timing 28’s with it. It’s nowhere near survival or destro damage but it’s certainly still not boomkin levels. Blizzard really messed up balancing this tier.
I won’t be getting anywhere near the title since I didn’t have a warlock to push with but I can be content with ending in top .2% and top overall in NA for my spec as one of the worst m+ specs.
you do realize that that 5-6% should get the title would change the number of people getting it from 1,006 people to 67,349 people getting it in NA/OCE? it is a rank one title. meant to be prestigious. 3k can be done by a player that hasnt played the game the entire patch- in 2 weeks. 3k players get their achievement and dungeon portals. and 3k is doable by anyone who has even the slighest understanding of the dungeons. it would make the title worthless.
I think it would be this many characters, but not this many people. I have 9 characters over 3k, as you said it’s not hard to get. In fact, people can even buy this ranking because it’s just all 20s times both weeks. Most of my friends who have one character above 3k have multiple. We are not high end or elite, we just like playing with each other and pushing that ranking up over and over again.
I think that the current ranking is fine, but could be even better. I think it would be sweet if they rewarded it to players for timing a 30+ in a season, even though I never will. When I see a person with a +30 on the score sheet, that makes me know they know how to play the game well and that level of achievement should be immortalized.
You do realize 1,006 people spread out over 100 servers plus sharding means youre more likely to never run into someone who has the title ever than you are to see it even once.
67,000 people is not a lot of people when spread over such a population.
1,006 people isnt prestigious it’s something mythical that may as well not exist.
They fear having too much info will overwhelm players. Hence the reduction in variations of stats and interfaces (remember the character panel and interface changes from legion).
Also the clear demarcation of what is feasibly achievable by people freshly foraying into an activity are all that is shown.
Probably should be by spec instead – otherwise you’d still have outliers like Surv Hunter/Destro locks hoovering up all the titles for themselves from hunters/locks in general.
Hell, you don’t even need to time all 20’s both weeks if you have some two starred 20’s on a given week. My hunter was able to breach 3k rating with all Tyrannical +20’s, but only +18/19 Fortifieds (and one untimed 19 that had a rating more like a +17).
For the record, I exclusively pugged it and wanted to tear my eyes out by the time I hit 3k rating. I cannot recommend pugging your way to 3k rating if you value your sanity.
For that reason, for Season 4 onward please consider making the Achievement the top 0.1% of your class. It will set a precedent that not everyone needs to funnel to overperforming classes and give a broader opportunity to those who don’t play flavor of the month.
It’s not healthy for the longevity of the game when everyone is funneled into 3-4 specs of the 36 that exist.
No, any player who is good enough to earn the title will be playing meta specs. People who say “change it to per class” wouldn’t have a shot at it, even it it was class based.
While it is probably true we wouldn’t have a shot at it, what I’m more concerned about is the societal aspect of it. People are watching some of their favorite streamers switching off of the classes they originally watched them to play, and now wondering if they made a “wrong” choice on the character selection screen, which just gives a nasty “feels bad” moment. This then has a trickling affect, even when it comes to getting into +20 keys for pugs: play meta or just expect a much harder chance to get in, no matter how good you are.
I’m not saying this would fix the issue, just an idea. I wouldn’t go as far to say it “only” affects those top individuals, but really it’s a more social problem it may (or may not) have an affect on, which effects everyone.
