Nazjatar Follower XP Time Gate!

To complete the quest “Down but not out” you need to achieve 3,000 combined xp for your follower.

This will allow you to get Rank 2 of [Memory of Lucid Dreams] Heart of Azeroth ability.

You are stuck with 1 follower per day and obtain about 325 xp per day.

3,000xp/325xp = 9.2 Days To complete this one quest and get Rank 2

They always said the story would be timegated. They just said the zone exploration wouldnt be.

Its a grind…some grinds take time. When you begin the house buying process do you keep yelling time gates!!!

GJ distinguishing between a game and real life.

Massive facepalm moment when I got the [Friends in Need] quest.

8 more days of dailies until something happens, here I come!

I’m perfectly fine with this kind of progression.

What exactly is the issue?

I think timegating and grinding are different things… Grinding is putting in work to get stuff, the more work you put, the faster you get.

Timegating is being artificially stopped from grinding because… More playtime I think?

a grind is something you can choose to do whenvever, you just need to do alot of it

This isn’t a grind, because you can’t choose to do the quest all at once, you are arbitrarily forced to wait 24hr intervals before you can continue. It’s a pathetic attempt to pad out a zone with no content.

Imagine if other games likes The Last of Us or God of War forced you to wait 24hrs between each mission/chapter to continue playing the game.

What they are doing is equivalent to the crap done in mobile games.

Ex: You’ve upgraded your base now wait 24 hours for it to complete .

Only thing left for WoW to to is sell us GEMS for $$ to “Speed up” the time…

The issue with them doing this too is once you finish your dailies there is no reason to stay in the zone at all. I did the entire zone unlock of nazjatar last night + first round of dailies/emissary and saw less than a dozen people in total. I don’t know if servers are dead, or sharding/crz tech is just bad. The zone already feels dead and it’s been out for 48 hours lol.

That is sooo not a time-gate like other ones we have seen. less than 2 weeks seems reasonable for any grind. It’s when its WAY longer than that it gets bad.

Basically if you don’t enjoy Naz for 2 weeks, then you prob should look elsewhere in the first place - and this time-gate is no big deal either way.

I’m looking at how long would it take to get a FULL set of Benthic armor to 425 every slot? Now that’s a time-gate, haha.

Well it’s not like there is any progress opening for another 2 weeks anyways, we are all waiting for the next season to start.

Exactly, and at least there’s lots of stuff to do in Naz (and Mech for that matter). A person could stay and farm for manapearls all day to get their Benthic gear up to the 425 mark, not to mention farming the bonkers world that is Mechagon.
