Torghast is stupid hard now

So tried the new layer (7), couldnt even beat the first floor boss, and i know its plain impossible for me, Warriors have terrible magic defense and this boss SPAMS magic spells constantly that do a lot of dmg.

And that stupid assassin mechanic is just has frustrating has ever.

Im plain not bothering with it anymore, even the Maw is already making me want to quit to zone entirely.

People like to play Solo Blizz, and Torghast and Maw are extremely unfun for solo players.

They’re soooo close to making Torghast fun.

It’s like they stepped up to the plate, and on the first pitch hit a foul ball.

“Not bad,” said Blizzard, “but we can do better!”, and proceeds to drop the bat, take three steps back, and lie down. “Ready for the next pitch now!”

Blizzard just doesn’t understand fun. It’s like trying to explain it to an alien robot.

Layer 7 is the second to hardest layer for the entire game. What item level are you?

Currently at 182 i believe, with bis legendary

That’s about where I am too and Layer 7 is too much for me too. Stands to reason the hardest layers are tuned above LFR item level probably.

They smacked tanks and healers too, buffing HP of bosses etc, not more challenging mind, just extended the time you’ll spend in there.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they saw how popular it was on Beta, and at the end when they stress tested Torghast it was still fun for the many that got to try it.

They saw an opportunity to add in some minutes, and holy cow going from 25-30 minutes clears of ALL layers to this is just mind blowing.

I’m so disappointed, Torghast was so much fun before Blizzard realized it was so much fun!

Fun was detected, but do not fear, it has been eliminated. The Dour feeling of Shadowlands will be preserved.

This has nothing to do with fun. This is about buisness. The sales pitch to investors was that players will have alot of time spent In torghast.

They buffed the difficulty so people take it slower. Small pulls = more time in torghast.
This is what’s it’s about. They want to increase the /played in torghast and outer worlds as well. Callings Maw rares/dailies. Mythic vault takes a lot of time.

You guys need to look at the changes from a buisness point of view rather than gameplay. When you do that it will make alot of sense.

I think they buffed the maw as well. Died to two non elites after burning through cds. Ridiculous. Just gonna spend a metric ton of gold buying loot runs now lol.

“Danger, Will Robinson.”

/Proceeds to run toward the danger.

I figured with the issues I had with some stuff at Layer 6 + the buffs they did that I wouldn’t be able to do any higher this week (and may need to drop difficulty as well)… and you know what? That’s fine! Layer 8 is the top difficulty PERIOD so I kinda expected with my low gear that I’d hit a wall and need to get better stuff. I’ll get up there eventually and the Soul Ash is frontloaded, so I can bear not being FULLY optimal.

What if 7/8 are tuned for people in heroic/mythic gear?

Just because the layer exists doesn’t mean you’re qualified for it.

I just decide to discard all torghast content, some imb say you’re not forced to do it anyway…

Let’s see if we don’t…

I’m starting to regret buying this expansion…

They can keep nerfing classes and buffing bosses until no one goes to the tower.

Why do you feel the next to last layer of Torghest should be easily beaten in M0 gear?

So what you are saying is there is a challenge too great for you in an RPG. At times like this most would say ‘hey, maybe if I had better equipment I could progress my character and overcome this hurdle’. But this is GD where if you can’t do something it’s someone else’s fault.

I already quit the Maw, waste of time for a handful of sockets.

Well at least I got my helm finished on the paladin, mission accomplished! Blizzards probably shaking their fist at the sky because too many scrubs are feeling like they accomplished something.
