Maw Phasing "Working as Intended?" Well, Start Intending Something Different

You can’t just make quests that are intended to be completed as a group for a zone where you can’t group with anyone because everyone’s in a different phase without everyone going back into Oribos and jumping back into the Maw so they’re actually on the same plane of reality as one another.

It doesn’t help that Maw group quests aren’t labeled as such outside of the interior quest text, so you don’t really know you need other players until you get there, and then you have to go back to Oribos and then BACK to the quest area to complete, and you can’t mount so it takes forever.

At the very least, make it so everyone is moved into the same phase as the party leader or something. This is ridiculous.

They label the place “hell” so that they don’t have to deal with bugs. It’s all “working as intended.”

Yes, this needs to be fixed. The Maw doesn’t phase right for groups. It’s gonna be hell with the new Maw content.

You even see forum buttwashers defending it on this premise, lol.

“It’s the Maw! It’s supposed to be poorly designed!”

Pathetic people, truly.

They screwed over 99% of players because a handful were abusing the phasing to quickly farm Stygia.

It’s like their awful phasing system has been a consistent problem for awhile or something.

But no, that’s definitely not what needs to be fixed, right?

Please fix this - it’s very annoying

What requires a group in the Maw other than maybe the Colossus? Thanassos perhaps? Only other thing I can think is spawning those minibosses at the circles.

The reason they do not allow phasing in the Maw is because people in Beta were abusing the phasing system.

They started realm hopping like crazy to get rares, rep, such. The only option to stop this was to not allow phasing.

This is a case of don’t hate the game, hate the players.

Interesting take - except the jailer’s eye only allows for so much time in the maw, At level 5 you get no heals and zero rep gain. Wouldn’t this solve the issue you’ve stated?

Until someone figures out how to have fun

That sounds like a nothing justification. There’s already a hard cap on how much anyone can farm.

I think this is Blizzards logic.

And I already have one day job. I dont need another.

Word is they are removing Jailer’s Eye in 9.1 so even if it’s a moot point now with the Eye in game… once removed it can be abused again.
