For new and returning players, this is the worst move Blizzard could have made. Why would people want to spend time catching up on the ilvl, conduits, legendaries, tier pieces, etc that will be required to be accepted into Normal PUG groups when all those things will be utterly useless when Dragonflight releases in just a handful of months?
New and returning players got royally screwed over during a time when Blizz should have appealed to them the most. The gear hurdle alone feels daunting, especially if youâre not typically a raider.
Last time Blizzard had the same thought, and did very little pvp content & attention - a heap of them quit ⌠Which resulted in a few million players.
Literally every major content creator, along with anyone who has common knowledge of the playerbase knows - a lot of people care about pvp. Personally, I havenât cared about it so much the pass two expansions, however Iâm not foolish enough to say no one cares about it.
Iâve had quite a few instances where people have instead wanted a resto shammy for their low-hp saving heals, and others who want druid healers for their brez (Many argue, DKs / DPS can brez; but they also debate that the non-healers arenât focused so much on whoâs dead).
PVE-wise, sure hpriests are great and all, heck theyâre even outperforming others like Blizzard even admits - but thatâs not to say theyâre the ONLY healer people desire; otherwise youâd see the top mythic-raiding guilds with nothing but holy priests.
That is a hard thing for a lot of people to get past, especially if theyâve been playing solo up until that point. The game has gotten really easy to solo so people interact a whole lot less while leveling.
On top of that dealing with just one or two really toxic veteran players that demand perfection drives people to nope right out. They miss out on all of the good stuff and people that they would have met.
Yeah, it can be annoying when people donât know what to do or make mistakes but by being jerks we are just lengthening queue times and making sure that the nasty players are the only ones queueing up. So even if people donât want to be kind and helpful they should at least think of their own selfish desires and help them get over the hump.
Just when I think the game of World of Warcraft canât be any more perfect than it already is you guys go and outdo yourselves time and time again, im very happy reading these changes and i hope everyone else is too and i cant wait to try out the new prot warrior, frost mage and misteaver. The changes fit my playstyle perfectly
I donât know about that. Getting to Zereth Mortis and buying the catch up gear is really easy. Boom 226. All of the world content becomes easily manageable.
You donât even need to buy all of it.
Rings trinkets and necklace? Do the Sand Sand Everywhere achievement.
Belt? Complete the storyline, instant legendary.
Plus you get other gear just by doing dailies and progressing through the quests. It is probably the easiest it has ever been.
If youâre looking to go from zero to Best in Slot THEN it might be a bit of extra work but you really donât need BiS gear. Have fun, donât stress about gear, there are plenty of ways to gear up and not waste your time doing stuff you donât want to do.
But would that actually give people the ilvl required to be accepted into Normal PUG groups for the Fated raids? From what Iâve heard, the minimum ilvl needed will be 270+. Zereth Mortis doesnât go quite that high, does it?
You guys and the WoW team need to accept raiding isnât for everyone who plays the game. AOTC didnât get people to into raiding and this wonât either. Its just going to encourage people paying for carries.
You can get up around 252 without ever touching a dungeon or raid.
Fated Raid Finder DROPS 265-272 gear but that does not mean you need to be 270 to get in.
There might be a few parties in Raid Finder that want to be carried but there will be plenty of 250âs getting together to gear up and start moving up through the ranks.
Raid Finder is recommended so you learn the mechanics and start to get better gear before going all in.
No warrior MS or recklessness uptime nerfs⌠and no nerfs to the 80k+ aimed shots from MM hunters. Least I donât have to worry about PvPing this patch
Exactly⌠what is with this weird mass psychosis almost of these people thinking itâll get more people to raid , has the last several yyears of them trying not taught them anything
