Just got done pugging a layer 8 as a healer. Spent 99% of the time dpsing.
The mobs hit like wet noodles, their abilities mean nothing now, which means every mob may as well be the exact same thing, all while player power is through the roof.
They may as well replace the mobs with groups of squares you have to dps down and after 50 groups you win, because it’s literally that dumb now.
It’s basically just a “spend an hour here a week” thing and we’ll give you soul ash.
The gameplay of Torghast is gone. They literally just ruined it.
Update:
Twisting corridors isn’t the solution. It’s a different reward system and structure and you’ll still have to do the super watered down Torghast for soul ash every week.
For some reason everyone on these forums thinks if you don’t want Torghast to be face roll content then that must equate to you wanting Dark Souls difficulty. Content does not need to be either face roll or super challenging. There is a giant spectrum between the two.
There is a reason it had 8 layers originally. It was pretty clear it was a scaling challenge that you had to work at and get better gear to advance up the tower to get the better rewards. If one layer was too hard then you could simply do a lesser layer and simply get less soul ash. That is now gone along with all the gameplay and mechanics and replaced with mindless nothingness.
Everyone gets the best rewards for showing up and putting time in, which cheapens and makes the experience arbitrary. People like getting things for free and things being easy, but they don’t value or respect those things.
The last time they did a nerf this drastic to content was Cata and it started the decline of subs the game has never recovered from.
There needs to be a line drawn with making content accessible > good gameplay.

Good, no reason to tune it up to New game +8 Dark Souls when it was advertised as solo at your own pace content, not another form of mage tower.

It’s the most boring content I’ve ever done. Well next to Bfa island expedition…

it was hard for many players. Making majority of playerbase less frustrated and happy is important.

If you want an easy experience, then do a lower layer, that’s what they’re there for. Don’t need to ruin the experience for those of us that want a good gameplay experience.

Let me say something I was told on several occasions when I complained about the overtunned stuff: It’s not mandatory bruh, it’s literally optional content, you don’t need to run it. Just go do what you like.

I’d say wait for the twisting corridors to pen up before you say the whole things dead. You gotta remember Torghast is the only way to get soul ash and therefore the only way to take advantage of the new leggo system. Make it too hard and a lot of players will get fed up with not being able to take advantage of one of the key draws (leggos) of the the ex-pac.

By that logic everything in the entire game is optional and why even play at all. People liked doing Torghast as a challenge at higher layers and if you don’t then do a lower layer. That’s what they exist for.

That mode is coming. This is basic mode to get soul ash for your leggo.

I’m sorry you’re frustrated that this happened to you. Sit down and have some ice cream. It’ll be okay! There there!

Spending 1 hour+ for 6 layers isnt that great for such great feature, but that’s my opinion just like yours.

Nothing is ever optional unless the rewards are cosmetic.
What I said was based on stupid and dumb stuff others said to me (and many others) when we complained about the overtunned stuff.
The moment it rewards what is necessary for progression it becomes mandatory.
Torghast was advertised as something that could be done solo or in group, at your pace and not some mage tower 2.0.
If you want it to be challenging then you can just use weaker gear or no gear at all, I bet it’ll be super challenging and it will affect just you, not the entire community.
The issue here isn’t that people liked it, people just wanted to flex on those who couldnt do it.
Funny enough you only see the people with the A tier classes that have tons of mitigation and self healing claiming it was easy. I wonder why.

What’s the point in even having layers now if it’s just gonna be faceroll at layer 8?

Then they can, again, do lower layers, which is what they were there for.
Also I’m a casual who doesn’t raid or do keystones so trying to make me into someone who is a high tier player is laughable.

So are you suggesting this change didn’t even affect you and yet somehow you’re mad about it?
Ok, I guess that explains your 4 posts. You’re just here to flame the whole thing XD

That’s why the lower layers give more ash than the top layers. You don’t HAVE to do all of the layers every week.
I can’t clear mythic raids. Doesn’t mean they should nerf mythic raids so I can do them. I do normal.
The amount of crying on these boards is insane some days. That blizzard tucked their tails and not tuned torghast…but nerfed it into the ground then pissed on the ashes is just disappointing.
Everyone always complains that they cater the game to the 1% mythic raiders, I’m definitely not one of those however, I think its a lot more dangerous to cater to the lowest common denominator.

I see a lot of people talking about this endless mode but I didn’t find it inside the tower, is that a mode that has to be unlocked by doing something? Because honestly despite Torghast being like a really boring mess overall this endless thing sounds quite interesting, especially because some said itll rewards mounts and appearances.
The Endless (or Twisting?) Corridors are opened later. I think you gotta move down the campaign a bit.
