Season of Discovery Developer Update - May 17

What can you possibly be excited about right now. I am truthfully asking.

Nothing. They tried to appeal to everyone and made a wet fart. Start over.

People on here are so doomer about everything. A couple weeks taking a break while they perfect what is the big phase we’ve all been waiting for since SoD launched is not some nail-in-the-coffin. lol

The game is fine, just don’t burn yourself out while waiting for P4. I’ve been playing Stellaris, Helldivers 2, and Total War: WH3 with my guildies n such. Go do that instead of doom posting on the general forums for the 30th time today!

Moon guard tourists as always, making bags of rocks look brilliant.

When guilds take breaks they don’t come back, they die. When they die the players don’t come back.

Given their handling of things to date, it’s laughable to have any faith they will get it right and launch smoothly.

I’d like to see things go back towards phase 1 tone, so alt friendly and fun. Phase 2 and 3 I found most of it so tedious from getting runes to the raids that I just don’t want to do it on more than one character.

And since I’m pretty much playing this explicitly for the fun of trying new things out discouraging alts turns me off.

Was almost in support of your take, until gdkp came up…

Pricing on ah has done nothing but go down since gdkp ban on my realm :s…
It should not come back, it’s a stain that a vocal minority and their alts are pushing for.

  1. They have to turn MC and Ony into 20-mans.

  2. They need to develop new tier sets/items, including for specs and playstyles that didn’t exist in classic.

  3. They need to develop and test new runes.

  4. They stated there will be “significant redesigns” of some of the classes.

  5. They stated there will be additional new content released throughout p4.

Doing level 60 stuff in SoD when it comes out. The wait is irrelevant to me, I just do other things :man_shrugging:

Calls me a duller than a bag of rocks, but resorts to ad homs and strawmans immediately.

I didn’t say stop playing the game entirely, incredibly smart and not-at-all grumpy forum dwelling troll shaman player. I said don’t burn yourself out.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but you don’t have to play 7 days a week and 8 hrs a day until the next phase comes out. I am an officer is an active guild that does a 20m Sunken Temple every Tuesday for an hour… And then after that we just chill out and play WoW or whatever other games.

Activity always dies out as you progress through literally any phase of any expansion. We’ve just been playing the same game so long, and you’ve been sitting in this echo chamber so long too, that we’re more susceptible to burn out. Which is why I mediate now, and I love WoW more than I ever have because of it.

Use your brain, smart man.

I’m engaging you at the level you’re engaging me.

I don’t care about your cope. By your own admission your full raid logging, that’s not a good sign. Ever. Please think before you speak.

I kinda get tired of feeling like I’m paying for an afterthought. The excuse of a small team is getting old, this game mode is 6 months old, grow the team.

Just let me transfer realms already.

You were supposed to give us an update on pvp->pve transfers almost a month ago.

Its been radio silence.

Living flame-US is dead.

Wild growth has 10x the pop (even their discord has 12k compared to our 1k)

I’ve lost every bit of hope in SoD. Cheers to the interns they had good intentions, maybe in another year guys. Keep on keeping on.

That’d be crazy fast. Besides a handful of pieces, it would make most of the MC loot obsolete compared to BWL loot.

yeah, but then look at the difference in community interaction from vanilla/tb/wotlk compared to the scarcity of it now, despite what some may argue.

Few suggestions in meantime to make playing before P4 a little more meaningful. My entire Guild is losing players left and right until P4.

  1. 150% XP to level 50, and 250% Quest XP from 1-40.

  2. Allow purchasing of all phase runes (1-3), not 4 when it comes out obviously. – Nobody wants to farm these on alts, and it becomes a deterrent to actually leveling an alt sometimes.

  3. Increase rep gained from WSG/AB games so people want to actually do them in addition to/instead of ashenvale / stv.

  4. Add a few new items for many classes, as there are only a few upgrades for classes in ST, some of them being a few stat points better only and not worth going to ST to get them.

  5. In P4, make dungeons like Dire Maul and UBRS/LBRS, Strat, Scholo drop Badges from bosses that can be turned in to purchase prebis Items so that you don’t have to chain farm the same dungeon dozens of times for a chance at the one item. Maybe I get a Reed from turning in 30 badges just from be doing other dungeons over and over for other pieces.

  6. Make the raid content in P4 actually difficult so that it requires people to have ST level gear + prebis items from P4 dungeons (UBRS/LBRS, Scholo, Strat, DM) in order to be able to complete or be incredibly skilled group – but once enough prebis items are obtained, then it should be relatively trivial.

  7. Potentially open up a new quest line that requires you to kill multi bosses for fragments or something from the various phase raids final bosses, that will be a requirement and precursor to a quest that allows players to obtain a new (hard to get) legendary item sometime in P4.

“a few weeks” of MC / Ony before BWL??? That seems crazy

We’re doing 10+ weeks of ST but only a few weeks of MC??
