I’ve personally still enjoyed Torghast, but perhaps some good news for those who’ve been dissatisfied recently?:

You know it was bad when Polygon’s like, “Okay we gotta do an interview about this.”
But yeah this is great news.
#2 - Increase success rate for specs that are struggling.
The best news ever. There were a certain few specs that were basically denied fun in Torghast outside of a group.
#1 - Reduce the length so it’s not an hour long grind.
Also good news. I personally didn’t have a problem with the time it took, but a lot of people did, so this’ll be a welcome improvement.
Also the fact that #1 and #2 are to be fixed in the coming days is nice, hopefully it’s implemented before the weekly reset.

Huge positive change, this is my main issue with Torghast right now, it’s just too much of a slog for way too long.
Exciting upcoming change as well. I want more wacky anima powers that let me do weird stuff with my class.
This is a positive thing.

Hope to god there are many changes, big changes, coming. Hopefully they fix Torghast and make it what it could have been (something amazing), instead of what it is (something dreadfully awful).

Honestly, just keep buffing some of the powers (For Rogues. And maybe add more spec specific ones- Like THAT should be a feature. That powers are always being added) and make them drop more frequently and it might be more enjoyable as it is.
If I walked off the first floor with 10+ buffs rather than 3? That would be cool.

Its decent news. Their direction hits on my main issues with it.
Namely - it takes too long to be fun when you fail, and its very unclear when I’m supposed to advance to the next tier.

They could fix this by removing about 4 or better still 5 floors of dull and pointless, as well as making sure tankless groups can handle the final boss if they are appropriately geared for the level.
Now they should think about adding some rewards besides soul ash. Cosmetics like mog gear, toys, pets, mounts, something like that. Maybe make a currency that drops from floors that can be used to buy things.
I hope they do make it shorter and more enjoyable. I did my Cloak runs every week but I’m having a hard time motivating myself to do another Torghast run. I just walked into one, killed a few things and walked right out. I wasn’t having fun and there was no way I wanted to keep clearing trash for an hour just to go kill a boss that’s way overtuned.

I did the same thing with a floor recently. It was taking me so long to kill trash I just gave up because it was so boring.

Just so people aren’t misunderstanding here, the mobs and bosses difficulty isn’t changing, they are just beefing up the classes that normally struggle in harder solo content, decreasing length of the floors, and making it clear there are hard gear and skill checks in upper floors.
I guess minor outdated information, as immediately after I wrote this, a blue posted the change list.
And basically what’s happening is, yup, difficulty nerfs across the board with some bosses, and layer 8 is essentially equivalent to a layer 6.
A pity.
I will be pretty sad if they make Torghast too easy. I think where its at currently is a very good place. Players who want a challenge can complete the higher level layers, and many players have and its been a totally rewarding accomplishment. Players who just want to get in and get some soul ash can do the lower tier layers. This system is great and thinks of all the players, i really hope they don’t give in to the GD trolls.
Also why are you guys constantly defending yourselves against Phyzick? They are clearly a troll looking to egg people on…wait it’s an Orc my bad carry on.

they already think they fixed #2 by making it harder for tanks and heals…
so now the success rate by spec is closer across all specs…
They didn’t make it harder for tanks and heals, they made it needlessly frustrating. If the goal was to make me want to group with dps then they failed as after yesterday I don’t want to go back into Torghast period. Last week I was excited to do it again this week, now I legit dread going back in.

How is this fun being deleted? If anything, it’s more fun after these changes lol
Just like Tupac, livens up the place.
