Updating Torghast this Week

Praise the loa. No more saving cds for assassins, getting nuked in 3 seconds on caster bosses, or waiting for cooldowns after a floor boss to come up to start clearing trash.

Yeah but they could have done this with the Twisting Corridors system in general.

Why hasn’t this guy been banned yet for constant trolling in every forum post?

Upper reaches was the only one that really needed any attention. Could you try to be more granular and maybe actually test hotfixes when you roll them out? Just an idea.

Thing is, we still got the whole infinite layers twisting corridor thing to look forward.

Personally I think the nerfs weren’t necessary, gear checks and skill checks exist for a reason, and lowering the bar because a lot of players just weren’t good enough to meet it is a bit sad.

But atleast the Thiccness Layers will be coming.

We don’t know for sure how hard it will be. It will be more fun which I’d argue is more important.

Like I said, if you want a challenge then Twisting Corridors will be for you.

Blizzard listened to feedback rather than stubbornly doubling down on something for 1-2 patch cycles?

Impressive.

So now it is a pointless task with no challenge. This will be another boring lame routine where someone can chalk it up to a chore - go in, do it, get out. No challenge.

Controversy isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes, it is an indicator of a worthwhile effort. In the real world, when you’re faced with a challenge, you don’t get to just ask for a nerf. You must adapt and make different choices to overcome.

Here, Blizzard is simply caving and making Torghast just another lame chore in the game.

Appreciate the changes. Will there be any way to avoid assassin ambushes in situations where we need to go afk? Was nearly insta-gibbed last night by an assassin when I went afk for three minutes to get a drink and feed my cat. When Torghast runs on higher layers take 1+ hours with really horrible anima powers, I feel like its counterintuitive to punish players that may need to afk.

yesss duuuude now we talkin

Great news, 8 will now be roughly @ what 6 is currently, and that is pretty easy. now i don’t have to slog in it for hours just to complete the thing.

Or just keep it as actual increasing difficulty so players can get a higher reward for completing harder content.

The soul ash was front loaded to the easier difficulties anyway.

But in typical Blizz fashion they just gut the entire thing.

That is very disappointing. This isnt a nerf its completely demolishing it.

You can get your followers by using a target macro on 1st floor and if your follower isn’t there, you can just leave and re-enter.

I got Meatball that way.

it doesn’t incentivize them to get better if they can just whine to the devs whenever something doesn’t immediately fall over for them. Just sad.

god the casual player base is so unbelievably entitled

My biggest complaint as a prot warrior with 4 prot warrior mains only, our damage powers are pretty bad compared to how fast damage dealers scale up.

If we get good survival talents we have unlimitted toughness last week (i haven’t run this week to see how damage buff to tank specs changed that). However what I always found from my runs, even if I went fast, even if I pulled 10 mobs at once, I just killed everything so dang slow. As many powers as I’d collect, my damage didn’t go up much. in a GOOD run I was lucky if my damage was double by end of run. so instead of doing like 1500 dps I cn do 3k woot (i’m not best geared prot warrior either retired from group content). I see other classes like mage doing 10x their base damage by end. They get powers that are more fun and more importantly are more significant.

I don’t need 123532 tank talents that make me an unkillable god by end. I need some talents that actually help me bring down enemies faster too.
