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.
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.
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.
