If it was only 3 phases fight would feel more fun. One of the first 2 phases is just really meh. | ||

I try to stay away as much as possible from all the doomsayers and negativity (on reddit) but this particular issue just takes the wind from my sails, and it seems like it's here to stay, because having to unlock the traits by grinding AP is central to the system. The traits being less impactful than whatever the Legion equivalent was (Artifacts + Legendaries + Tier bonuses) just makes everything worse, how am I supposed to mix and match the traits if they're such a pain to unlock? | ||

Yeah some people are involved in a race which I think should be kept fair, but as usual there are far more people not involved in the race who are outraged. I don't get it. The people who got the handouts could be someone's teammate in their next raid or dungeon and they want them to have worse stats and fewer azerite traits. I was happy for the people who got loot. Sometimes a bug actually helps players and it's a fun little perk. It wasn't even close to game-breaking and reddit was demanding a roll back which is actually a negative and really annoying for everyone. The problem emerges because of how elitist bad players are. Raiders are in a race to the top always, because they need to be competitive. However, bad players mostly just want easy runs through mythics and have no real plan for raiding; this causes them to only accept people who outlevel content into groups. In other words, people getting better gear through pugs shuts out people trying to get that gear, because they won't let them into groups due to not having high enough ilvl. Anyone who's tried getting into mythic 0s after a few dungeons knows what a pain this is. Pretty soon it'll be hard to get into mythics unless you're raid geared or doing it with guildies, like it was in Legion. | ||

However, bad players mostly just want easy runs through mythics and have no real plan for raiding; this causes them to only accept people who outlevel content into groups. Many people blame group leaders for being biased against them in some way when they don't get into groups when the reality is much simpler i think. You play a 355 geared tank and healer, put yourself in the finder. 40 DPSers queue within 3 minutes, literally. Why would you go out of your way to pick the 335 person over the list of 345's? It's not default human behavior for understandable reasons and it leads to a difficult environment for somebody with low gear and a role that's in much higher supply than demand. You're not competing against the content, you're competing against the army of people who also want to perform your role. An efficient group system will always run into this problem | ||

If you really truly want to play solo and be remotely competitive in the pve gearing race than I highly recommend playing healer or tank. Its just the unfortunate reality of the system. Mythic 0s right now:a 339 geared dps will have hardish time finding a group. A 320 healer will get in a group in minutes. It really is just supply and demand.I'm not really any different when making a group myself. I leveled a hunter that hit 120 on sunday. It is now 342, has full cleared normal uldir, done multiple +5s with friends. I have applied to maybe 30-40 groups this week for +0s or +2s and didnt get accepted once. lol. Now could I get groups if I really tried, yeah, eventually. It gets easier later in week when people are on their alts, you snipe groups that are also low ilvl and more willing to take you, etc. But I mostly just play with friends so I don't really care. On a different not, the arena/conquest rewards system is.... interesting.... but anyone who doesnt have a 345 or better weapon can get one for "free". 500 conquest points might be a bit of a grind, but its 100% guaranteed reward. No rng. | ||

Except that there are some avenues to rng some loot maybe but thats not really a solve. Thing is, you dont have to be in a guild, you don't need to have full 5 man group, you need to have one friend who is a tank or healer to queue with and make m+ groups.

No rng. Yeah as a primarily solo player I dont reallyyyyy want to play tank but the majority of my first two weeks of solo play was tanking, while accumulating dps gear. (which I didnt get much off initially, thank god for keystones) And its not like its not fun either, feels kinda nice to be able to play fluidly play multiple specs after legion without losing anything , so thats atleast one thing they got right. I have pretty decent MW set to now with all the garbage drops I kept getting that I couldnt use for WW or BM. | ||

So, I've got a few question which hopefully you can answer: 1. Once you reach endgame (and yes I will rush it because I dont care about anything else, achievements or cosmetics or any of that stuff), whats the daily/weekly time investment the game requires to keep up with gear and other activities. 2. Is there a way to have a camera in WoW that mimics the cameras of action combat MMOs (like Tera and BDO for instance), meaning I dont want to hold right click to rotate around my character, simply said to have mouse look. 3. Would it make sense to start the game now that its 10 years old? These are the only things that interest me: time investment and being able to have action camera. Thanks, cheers! | ||

2; not sure, you have to use the mouse cursor quite heavily to e.g. click on new targets though (you generally can't attack in WoW without dedicating your attacks to a specific target) so you wouldn't want it turning the camera all of the time. 3; why not? It's actually 14 ;D | ||

My blood DK offspec has 353 item level, looks like I'll have to tank Fetid on Sunday. Raid definitely seems harder than Antorus though. Or maybe that's because our roster had full mythic gear from Tomb when we started Antorus. | ||

It's VERY similar to FFXIV. Gear resets constantly, lots of catchup gear. If you only care about seeing content, thats not going to be an issue. The game has difficulty all over the place. If you just want a chillax game to play and never wipe/struggle and see all the content, you can do that. If you want to push yourself into a serious grind and be competitive at killing bosses, you can do that. | ||

How am I supposed to get excited about a purely numerical upgrade? With the game being so Arcade-like, I would have hoped that Blizzard could come up with some ability-altering items. Something like 'decreases the cast time of your fireball by 0.5 seconds after a critical strike' or something. They took the bounty-system from Diablo 3, they took the dungeon scaling, the random affixes for elite mobs in dungeons... Why not add the most interesting aspect about Diablo 3? | ||
