I’m very disappointed and feel like there’s no sense of novelty anymore. From Phase 4 to Phase 5, there were plenty of new things worth exploring, and Blackwing Lair ignited everyone’s passion for raiding. However, so far in Phase 6, I haven’t found anything that sparks my interest. SOD is truly transitioning from being stunning to mediocre.

It boils down to everyone needing to farm the exact same spots for a vanilla style rep grind. It is boring. What makes it worse is my lack of desire to get stronger or level alts because they are abruptly ending the SoD thing after nax as far as we know. Why clear nax for the gear and not just clear it once and say “ok it is over.”

Yes, our guild cleared the entire AQ Hard Mode in just about 1.25 hours last night. We found that this CLASSIC experience feels exactly the same as before. Now, SOD has become completely equivalent to CLASSIC.
HM AQ40 in 1 hour 30 mins? Link the logs.

I’m sure he means AQ20, obviously 40 in 1hr15m is not possible atm.
I haven’t even done the new green dragon world bosses yet. But other than that, I can agree that it’d be cool if the SoD team could release 2-3 new dungeons (throw in some quests too) with the phase 6 raid content at the very least. I still have mains/alts that could use the reals and I’m tired of going into scholo/strat, would be nice to have some new dungeon content. I think I heard the K. crypts and SM content will be dungeons next phase…maybe they could have done some type of bug/sand dungeon for this phase, one in U. crater and one in silithus since a lot of people are already in that area.
agreed, They need to add some utility runes. Warriors could use an aoe rune (as an example).
Perhaps put training dummies in cities. Speed up the gryphon speeds. Lets us BG que in the open world. Plenty of easy things to do to make folks happy.
“Seasonal” servers in an RPG game don’t lend themselves to player investment especially when the outlook as grim as SoDs is in terms of future content.
They keep saying they have no plans to delete toons/wash them into some fresh w/o all the goodies, but I honestly don’t know how long the current dev team expects Microsoft to pay for a niche eraesque server.
I also don’t see them getting enough resources to really make an actual new classic raid with new assets. The whole 4-6 different versions of the raid design is a major turn off for a lot of classic players.

i have to agree, from phase 1 to 3 I was having more fun with the game than I have in ages, now I have gone to the Anniversary servers after 3 boring phases.

Make heaps of promises / lure in old players wanting a different classic.
Invest alot in the first 2 phases, then bail out at phase 3 while promising new content.
Deliver no new content, give out SoM raids. No new runes. No PvP balances as promised.
Release a new server and start the process over.
What promises did they bot deliver? Weve gotten new content each phase. They NEVER said wed get runes after phase 4.
Weekly PvP balances.
More voices on the forums.
New raids / dungeons each phase. Adding in a boss to an already existing dungeon isn’t a new dungeon.
Releasing runes for 3 phases, and then just completely stopping once classic classic had been announced.
It’s a half cooked season with SoM raids put in to keep people happy. Less effort has been put into the 2nd half of sod than classic classic re launch.
the problem is how they keep player alive? with AQ20 and ZG? Nah. POE 2 is my replacement for SOD.
They already said SoD will never be put to waste. Why do you doomers insist on projection and myth? Leave cancel culture to social media bruh. All you doomers sound the same.
