A point I made in another thread the other day. You can see it in every aspect of the game now if you look for it. The way the zones are designed. The removal of flight whistle and lack of flight masters. The lack of loot drops.
It’s even in the quest design. At least half of the quests take longer than they would in prior expansions. Quests where you have to SLOOOOWLY walk with people and they walk 5 times slower than they should. Quests where you have to sit there and wait while NPCs have 2-3 minute long conversations that you used to be able to either click through or just ignore to do the turn ins.
There’s literally no reason for the player to have to go on that insanely long walk in Ardenweald that takes forever EXCEPT to make the player have to wait and spend more time playing.
Don’t be so dramatic. You sound like you are one of those types of people where everything has to be about you.
Twisted corridors is the hardest difficulty with 8 layers too. So you could say layer 7 is the 10th hardest difficulty in the game
I know you said you like to play solo, But if you find yourself just one healer… I think you’d be fine. Either that or roll a self-healing class like priest or paladin
SL is suffering from the same problems previous expansions suffered from…
… the systems designers.

I think Blizzard is listening to Youtube Zoomers that want views doing harder levels. Instead of doing whats best for Subscribers!

I don’t see anything in the previous post I made where that could even vaguely be accurate.
Forum posts by their very nature are all about the person that posts them, since it’s their point of view.

Try again when you get better gear.
That’s a good point. There’s something to be said for rewards stopping at a regular layer 8, but you’re right there is much harder.
Doing Torghast Solo is one of the easiest ways to complete it. Try different specs, some are much better than others. Also it’s a bit of a gamble, sometimes you get bad anima powers and other times you don’t.
Get more gear and come back later, it’s free unlimited entry and you have the rest of time to clear it.
If this were true than I wouldn’t absolutely destroy Layer 1. It’s only the second week of raid and I blow up Layer 1 mobs in a couple globals.
From what I can tell, Torghast doesn’t scale with your ilvl like the open world does. It’s like Mage Tower, meaning that you will trivialize it until next season at least, which is when I assume they will buff it up (like how they rescale M+).
you are just not geared yet. come back again when you’re decked in mythic gear
They need to make running it in a group easier, NOT harder.
You should be encouraging people to do things together in a multiplayer game.
I did the level 7 side with no deaths (the assassin side with the final boss that hits crazy hard if you move a lot) but then tried the level 8 on the otherside feeling very over confident and got smacked by the first floor boss who spam casts magic bolts for 13k dmg on 3 sec cooldown. My skull bash is 15 sec. Bear have no magic mitigation so have to eat it. It is simple math, fight not possible unless you get the right anima powers.
Do we have any confirmation that no new layers will be introduced during the expac? Because I’d be willing to bet 3 pairs of Garrosh shoulders that layer 8 will not be the last.
Not doing Torghast either, it’s not worth the absolutely boring content that it is for a currency
At least Warfronts gave good gear
It is.
More players means more CC, more coordination, more chances to get great anima powers, more phantasm to spend at the broker.
If you’re just looking at the fact the health and damage scale and assume it’s harder, the presumption doesn’t mesh with reality.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove. I destroy Layer 1, too. The thing is that I was destroying Layer 1 at 150 item level. What does destroying mobs on the tutorial level have to do with scaling issues? I have not observed any noticeable change in difficulty as my item level has climbed from 150 to 180. Layer 1 is still easy. Layer 6 is still tough. Much tougher now that they’ve buffed the mobs.
