Honestly I wish they would try to make normal CN a solo mage tower style thing with a few changes (Mage tower tank challenge had velen and the orbs after all). Something fun like… if it was onyl normal it wouldnt step on real raiders toes but it would make me actually want to clear it.
As an Alliance player that mostly does solo stuff and BG’s I couldnt feel more left out this expansion.
Blizz throwing up their hands for the 3rd or 4th blizzcon and saying “weve tried nothing but we really cant find a way to address the faction disparity”, Character customizations were great but we are done with those now, keep giving us feedback (but we know what you need better than you do and wont address any of it). Its almost comical if it wasn’t so maddening.
No, it’s not acceptable for the game to drop loot on par wtih mythic raid loot for killing a few boars, even if the drop rate is low chance.
When you come up wtih solo content that is equal in difficulty to mythic raiding or glad PvP, then I’ll be right there with it being good game design.
LOLOLOLOL tell me a new one
yes, it absolutely does. When similar or better quality gear drops from world quests, or other solo content - raiders have to do it to stay current.
benthic boots, for example. don’t tell me that backwards terrible game design didn’t affect mythic raiders/m+ key runners
and that’s totally fair, but the content is there. I do think the gear rewards are problematic - they hand out the covenant set easy peasy then… nothing. Probably they should have had the base covenant set upgrades unlock a little slower, and maybe go up to 210.
it trivializes normal raiding, but let’s be honest, that’s not hard to do
heck yea you do because it’s awesome. all my abombs have pirate hat and skull flags.
Your arguments are arrogant and prideful. Not one single legitimate thread has said anything about killing a few boars should drop mythic raid level loot. The window into the logic of your mindset is indeed revealing. No one asked for TITANFORGING to be in the game at any point. Solo players should have a way too obtain mythic raid level quality loot solo.
ilvl 197 covenant gear already did that. A 3 ilvl upgrade doesn’t seem to be enough to step into normal - at least it’s not for my alts, and it seems that way for others as well.
Like seriously… ITS BEEN YEARS… doing nothing is far more harmful than doing something and it not working out perfect.
If Ion gave a damn about the alliance this wouldnt be a problem.
But I think he likes keeping the Alliance down, adding awful AR’s and he sure tried as hard as he could to not hand over the high elfs. Not that I wanted them, if I was to steal any horde race for alliance it would be trolls.
But to see them go to such great lengths to not have them playable is just absurd, esp when you literally see high elf npcs and vehicles outside orgrimmar in the last bfa war chapter.
That’s probably a bit excessive. Solo content just doesn’t require that kind of gear. I do think that the valor system needs a bit of a rework though. Remove the rating requirement and award less valor for low keys. Give people a path, but a path that takes a long time if they’re doing “easier” content.
At some point, you’re going to need to play with someone else if you want better gear.
Yeah, right now I’m at the point in my gear progression where I hit the “casual ilvl soft cap” but my gear is more than enough for the content I want to do.
I do see those posters who want equal rewards for killing boars and I agree that the notion is preposterous. But at the same time, I don’t challenge anyone else’s power fantasy.
If I were on a better PC, I’d probably be doing heroic raids and some low level mythic keys (I just hate mythical though, had a rough experience in Legion as a mist weaver trying to remain competitive or at least competent in my raid group. The bad taste it left still lingers. Oh well though.) but I get laggy and would never compromise other players experience or progression because of my personal issues.
Most of my abomination buddies are repping the pirate life too. My monk is Kyrian (because even when I’m not I’m a slave to the meta, but also the Kyrian monk ability aesthetically goes with my WW abilities and transmog) but my DK is a Necrolord. I wish I could put a pirate hat on my steward buddy.
If it doesn’t reward gear or a currency to buy gear i don’t really see the content as being meaningful, considering the point of the game is to get gear which doesn’t leave solo players with a lot of options
Covenant gear being 197 is fantastic, but also really dumb considering it voids lfr, normal dungeons and heroic dungeons, and honor gear being 197 and conquest gear being 200 is also really lame
Torgast awarding gear like visions did or having something similar to nzoth assaults cache would have probably appeased a lot of players
I thought it would tbh i was disappointed it didn’t
I still think torghast can become so much more and i do hope it will not my type of content but it has so much potential
A lot of games have types of arenas where you can fight a specific boss by itself in a challenge mode with modified abilities and what not
That could be really cool
(By this i mean like skipping the whole grind 5 floors to fight a boss and just fight a boss which you could unlock from doing legacy content and then fight a wrath raid boss thats scaled to your level type thing)
I’m still trying to figure out where this “must group” gripe is coming from. My alts are around 200 and have never set foot in a raid or mythic plus. They’ve seen all the story content there is in SL. The game has never been more easy to solo
Exactly. Ive even used pet battles to level up when I was bored with other content.
Theres zero point in either group or solo players trying to deny the other content to play in this game…yet one side perpetually does just that in here.
not my type of content but it has so much potential
