What Is Your Difficulty Level Preference?

Wow as many other mmorpg out there. Has multiple areas of play that become more demanding and require more effort and knowledge to deal with as you level up.

Same goes for Single Player games. Most start easy enough but as you level up it becomes
more challenging and harder to succeed. In many of these games you might get to choose the game’s difficulty.

In Wow Difficulty level dependents a lot on how much more challenging content you are willing to deal with in order to succeed as you level up.

My question to you is please choose the Level of Difficulty / Challenge you prefer in your games that is your comfort zone in most games you play. And that you will not go beyond.

  1. Very easy; Casual Novice Level.
  2. Easy; Casual But with some challenge.
  3. Normal; Average player challenge.
  4. Hard; Challenging, Harder to accomplish.
  5. Very Hard; Blood, Sweat and Tears but achievable.
  6. Nightmare: Near Impossible.

Instead of adding new difficulties, let’s just stick with the ones we have: Heroic raids and Mythic+17-19 dungeons is my comfort range with pushing into Mythic raids and Mythic+20 dungeons being a nice challenge from time to time.

My preference for both group content and solo content is easy. Life is hard enough, I’m here to relax.

None of it. Thanks for asking.

I stress enough at my job. When I log in I want to relax and play an enjoyable escape.

I don’t like bricking someone’s key because I was the weak link. I don’t like making one mistake and knowing the raid pull is a wipe for 20 people.

So on most occasions I find myself avoiding the content I would love to do, in favor of peace of mind.

I was never a Star Trek fan but this video makes me want to watch the series.

The available difficulties is prefer are Mage Tower or Challenge Mode equivalents.

However most of my time is spent graveyard stomping in bgs–which isnt difficult at all in comparison.

Some days i just wail on dummies for literally hours.

It would depend.
IF I am solo then a little easier with a little challenge. I tend to not rise to a challenge, if I fail a few times in a row iʻll likely just say “F* it, I’m done.” and abandon whatever it was.

If I’m playing with some buddies then ill go for more challenge, we pump each other up so Iʻd be more inclined to try again with them.

…this. I don’t play games to compete or be frustrated. I play to relax and have fun.

Hard enough to keep me entertained without feeling cheap/unfair.

-1. You log in, we mail you the gear.

Anything relaxing but also like not one-shot level. I don’t have the energy to raid/dungeon like I used to.

All tea. Already gotto deal with work and meetings and family commitments. Like lemme just relax…

This is me as well. I like a balance between normal and hard. I can’t stand content that’s so easy there’s little to zero risk of dying. To me personally, I find that very boring and not enjoyable. But I don’t want content to be so difficult that it’s more frustrating than an actual challenge.

I used to be a hardcore raider during Vanilla and BC. I have more fun these days playing casually and taking my time enjoying the game.

If we’re talking games in general, I usually like to start on normal difficulty. I figure, normal is a difficulty that the devs envision players to experience the game for the first time. Especially if the game is narrative heavy, I don’t want to break the flow of the story by my low skill. If the game is worth replaying, I will increase the difficulty.

In WoW, I usually do solo content and a few low mythics, casual PvP with arena, but only for gear. I only do mythics for gear, because it’s usually so much less time than grinding solo content to the max for the same rewards. Occasionally I do AotC pug push at the end of the expansion, but that only happened two times in the past.

I shrug my low effort WoW gameplay to lack of friends in game. I feel like if I had a solid group of 4 IRL friends, we would push very high. I just don’t seem to connect with anyone over WoW alone. Everyone either holds WoW performance too high in their interpersonal priorities or they are too casual to care about anything.

Easy to normal. Always and for everything.

  • Summerrayne above said it well, I’m also like that.

Yes, I agree. So much this. It keeps me out of mythics.

I’ve only started in January and mained a monk up to two weeks ago, so my preference is kind of low since I have to catch up on valor upgrades. I like +10-12 best so far. Of course that’s because I haven’t stepped into anything higher yet. XD
