Mythic Plus and the Joys of Hating your friends

Community General Discussion

Dear Blizzard,

I have been an avid mythic pusher since the beginning. I have achieved all the KSMs, earned the portals, and generally pushed keys in the top 1%, although I’ve never really pushed for the title, remaining what I call “competitive casual.” I’ve been playing with the same four players for most of my time pushing keys. We don’t play the meta or worry too much about what it is. Sometimes that works out for us, and sometimes it does not, but it never stops us from reaching our goals.

We all typically get along, make jokes, and have a great time. However, there are things you learn about someone if you were, say, in a plane crash in the Alps or suddenly deciding a trip to California in the 1840s during a harsh winter would be ideal. Both of these scenarios reflect what you have done to Mythic Plus. When we’re not eating one another over a casual mistake, watching our flawless run tanked by an overtuned boss, or waiting for our healer to compose herself from sobbing due to her inability to keep us alive, we find ourselves wondering why we are even in the key.

We could be hanging with Bran and scooping up much easier loot, but it’s not the same. Bran doesn’t make me laugh. I am not friends with Bran. Although Bran and my friends do die about the same amount. We can’t upgrade our gear to get higher due to restrictions on currency, the loot drops are far and few between, and the expectations to time a +10 are ridiculous. It feels like some sort of loot purgatory where this is supposed to be fun? Do I upgrade this high item level only to be stuck with it because resources are so scarce? It’s practically weeks of grind and not even the piece I need or want, but I have to take.

We used to have keys we enjoyed doing, and now it’s a matter of which key we hate the least. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep them engaged. We are an AOTC-focused guild, and the bulk of my Mythic Plus players are my best players in raid. If you kill them, you’ve killed my raid and my guild.

Please consider opening up the currency requirements to upgrade gear.

Also, please tune these dungeons more. Some of these bosses are impossible on Tyrannical. Bosses we know and have fought hundreds of times are now walls.

You really let us down with the in-game item levels in Mythic Plus. It’s pretty obvious it’s just gated behind tuning and that feels horrible.

I’m sure there are many raids and guilds in my same situation. Please make these adjustments.

Ok.

Is Blizzard wanting to get rid of M+ or something?

Seems like there’s some manufactured consent being attempted.

OP, you are correct. Players are starting to leave in droves. If you think your group of friends have it bad, imagine pugs, pugs makes up way more of the playerbase. Ignore the naysayers in the countless of threads depicting the same issues with M+ this season.

Even top level players, those who make guides and are part of the ‘elite’ have come out and voiced their concerns, why? because they see everyone leaving, and that hurts them, it hurts the game and it hurts the future of it all.

If you did understand you would realized that crest dropped in what is now considered a 6. It’s not enjoyable for every key to feel like you’re going for portals which is basically the way it is now.

“most” people laugh when they’re having fun… “most” people don’t laugh when they’re not.

13

Yea the crest use to drop in 16s and in season 4 they dropped in 8s, idk why they changed it to 9s but they did. I would agree they should drop again 8s that seems like a fair difficulty to be able to upgrade to 626. 10s giving mythic track gear might be overkill but ot is the best gear so thats prolly blizzards thought. Im sure they will nerf it next season. They go back and forth on how reward mplus should be or shouldnt be.

None of this changes my enjoyment of the game tho, the dungeons are all fun aisde from siege. Siege was never fun it needs to be deleted idk who monster thought siege would be a good idea

Watching a 610 havoc dh with a 2k io do 500k overall in a 8 COT was prolly one of the funniest things i have seen all xpac, honestly i couldnt stop laughing. I always laugh at silly fails they r funny

15

That was a really sad story. I like wow. It’s the only game I play these days. I’m not doing this mess anymore. Peace out guys.

The difference here is you were laughing AT someone, not laughing WITH someone.

I mean the rest of the group thought it was pretty funny too. Maybe mostly shock although we did laugh when the tank asked if he was sleeping hahah.
Its week 3 yall need to just chill and have some fun, keys fail its ok

started running with my friends recently and 3 are new to modern wow and m+ all together. We only do 2 keys and have never timed one together yet lmao. Its not a big deal to me and at least we are all having fun, mostly talking rubbish to one another in a joking manner. They finally let me heal one on my rdruid alt and i could see why they didnt want me to all the times now. First boss in a +2 mists and i was pulling a million hps and at the 4.5 minute mark the boss was at 80% health LOL. I was like ‘yeah boiz, im going to jump on my dh and dps it someone get on their healer´ lololol. sometimes you gotta just chuckle it off. that sh!t was incredible tho

Doesn’t change what I said… and just as a FYI a group of people can be a jerks and laugh at a person. But yeah you were laughing AT someone, where the OP was laughing WITH someone. Apples and Oranges bro.
