I'm an older player in wow and the anger and bad behavior of some players when you do something not fast enough in dungeons is so sad. Because of that bad behavior of other players I have always been insecure and afraid to participate in dungeons. I really like the follower dungeon concept to play dungeons, in order to be able to continue in the Dragonflight campaign. With the follower dungeon concept I can proceed with the campaign. Do dungeons on my own terms and in my own pace. Can't wait when the patch comes out for this.
My mother feels the same way.
This sounds like an AI generated review for a product on Amazon
Honestly I’m the same way, I want to enjoy gaming not get yelled out if I’m not doing enough damage or whatever.
That’s why I don’t play pvp in a lot of games because I cannot stand when people are rude for no reason. It is a game after all
@pauldacon828 the 25 people who agreed with him must be AI too. 😂😂
As someone who's been playing WoW for 18yrs and who earned several "Ahead of the Curve" achievements, I still fully understand that.
It's gotten to the point where I simply no longer go into PUG dungeons or raids unless I feel like I need to. It's only bearable in Guild or with close friends.
The terrible part is how some players go in Normal difficulty expecting everyone else to know Mythic difficulty tactics.
This leads to issues for new players. As a Guide, you have no idea how many times I've seen new players express how bad their experiences in LFG are, how they're kicked for not knowing the tactics or for not perfectly knowing how to play their class or spec.
Once Dragonflight becomes the new default 10 to 70 leveling expansion, this feature will FINALLY fix this issue for new players, who will be free to learn the basics. I only hope that it will be expanded to LFR as well, at one point, and to the Normal dungeons of older expansions. Many new players plainly refuse to be told by Blizzard "start by this new expansion first", they want to start with the oldest content to understand WoW's story in chronological order (which Blizzard makes REALLY hard to do just with Cataclysm being a thing).
Im a HUGE fan of this. I'm disabled and can't play wow the way it is designed so I dont get to see a lot of content. This is going to be HUGE for me. :D
I'm happy for you! Have fun playing!
Very happy for you, i hope you have fun playing this way
I know how you feel. I am deaf so voice chat in the game is never going to happen. I hadn't even done a Dragonflight dungeon till they launched follower dungeons on the PTR! I can't rate them highly enough. I recommend you download the latest PTR and give them a go!
Same and when crafting recipes, progression, campaign, or temporary available mounts are behind that wall, i am further missing out on content I could do. Some I do on normal solo at the end of the expansion or 2 expansions later or never. I still paid epic version and sub in cash! I couldn't choose Bastion in DF because of a dungeon in the campaign. Pls have a lfr AI version too for older raids of that expansion as part of the progression. By end of expansion, every instance can be done AI. Former expansions, you can solo in latest expansion's gear or do with AI. No XP so you can enjoy or learn or get transmorg, but it cannot be used to level up outside of quests specific for that instance. Or the xp is insignificant.
@@isiseungella4688 I was the same way with Bastion. Fortunately I had my sons guild take me and I wiped the whole group! HAHA! But I as well have to wait down the road to get the mounts or recipes too. Would love AI raids!!!
You forgot to mention that if the player is the healer the npcs will stop in case you get out of mana.
The only unrealistic feature 😔
@@isabellaliev2810they also all say hi to you as well. Nothing like real players :(
xD@@isabellaliev2810
These comments lol. So true.
@@BapeRuLLZ When AI is more friendly and you get a warmer welcome form them than real people, you know the world's going down 😆
I haven't done a single Dragonflight dungeon yet (I always drop the quests too rather than deal with speed running PUGs), so I'm very much looking forward to this
@@Akihito_Kanbara Its because mythic+ is now a huge part of the meta, and this has changed the mentality of people towards what dungeons are supposed to be. In other words, competitive players dont have the patience to enjoy the story or socializing because everything is a rush for them and they arent willing to do anything that doesnt contribute to their progression. Back in the day dungeons were designed for few people to take it slowly and work together using tactics to defeat strong enemies and they served as a conclusion to a main questline of a zone. Now they are one of the main competitive elements of the game, and this by default attracts toxic people.... pvp has been like that since the start of the game.. And i mean this is how it is in every game. Just look at league, worst community on the entire planet.
@@Akihito_Kanbara Anyways, i get what you are saying, but my point was that people dont like the meta of constant rush, not that they are afraid.
@@Akihito_Kanbara Oh that. You are right. I just browsed comments and i see it too, but I dont see why would normal be a problem then.... I've seen few comments from people with disability who cant play at same pace as others, so thats understandable, but others... who knows..
@@Akihito_Kanbara Do you realize how ridiculous this comment is? People don't feel like spending whatever time they have to play the game and then have their experience ruined because other players decided to be assholes. They're not avoiding the dungeons. They're avoiding the other players due to social anxiety.
@@Akihito_Kanbara Tanks and other players sometimes move way too fast for some people's liking or are toxic butt hats and people don't like dealing with that when they're trying to relax. This is catering to that crowd.
For someone who likes to explore the dungeon and read/listen to the npcs/bosses the first time I run a particular dungeon (almost impossible as a healer :p) I´m really looking forward to trying this out! Would love to see it in raids aswell (like LFR difficulty) for the same reasons.
They will probably do this with raids at some point for people to be able to experience the story of an expansion. It only makes sense. They can craft curated quest paths (basically like the campaign in modern expansions) and let you play through them up to and including the raid with NPCs. You can have people level through old expansions in a new way when selecting the expansion in chromie time or whatever that system is for leveling where you pick your xpac. Would be great for new players to be able to get all the story they possibly can, while Blizz doesn't have to necessarily do that much work beyond the initial work on making AI raids. I think it's very likely to happen within the next few years.
This sounds great. Gives you a chance to practice new roles and to play solo or with a friend with far less stress and more fun. Really like this.
On one hand I have always been firmly in the camp of MMORPGs being social oriented games.
On the other, I saw a guy tell another lowbie player to kill themself in a leveling dungeon because they wouldn't skip a boss.
Sign me up for Follower Dungeons.
I've been told to self-delete multiple times for tanking more slowly than someone preferred; I'm not exactly a speed-runner. I've also been stalked and harassed ingame after healing a dungeon and letting a DPS die because he deliberately stood in ground-effects to "give {me} something to do". He made multiple alts on my realm to get around the "ignore" feature, saw my guild name and harassed me on other alts as well, for DAYS. I've been leery of the dungeon finder since those incidents, though they were in Cata and WoD.
@@evage99 That's horrible :-( Some people really have issues.
sorta similar but after rolling a monk and running a dungeon (first time as a monk) our tank whispered me and told me someone wanted to kick me from the team just because I was new to windwalker and my dps sucked. It was a random huntard in the group and little did that huntard knew, I also main hunter xD thankfully the tank defended me but I decided to leave the group. reasons like that makes me appreciate this follower dungeon system so I can practice my dps in there without any scoundrel telling me how bad my dps is (which is now better with my windwalker monk after running many follower dungeons) 😅
I just got back in to playing WoW again. Seeing this make me happy. Maybe in the future they could replace the AI npc's with our alts. Which will also be great as a catch up mechanic for our alts.
I think I would shed actual tears of joy if I could go into a dungeon with my main and 4 of my alts
I totally concur
That would be AMAZING
Hope they do it for all dungeons so leveling is much faster and u dont need to find people
well since dragon isles will be the new leveling area I think it's already done then.
Glad to see this finally. Considering they've been testing it with the Islands, CompStomp, etc., it was bound to come. Great addition to learn new roles, but most particularly for the people that want to see and do a dungeon, not speed run a normal like an M+. Thanks for the preview. Get to clear my quest log when this comes out!
What do you think of Follower Dungeons in 10.2.5? twitch.tv/MrGM
I could really see a whole system built around recruiting and gearing the followers and taking them into Mythics or something harder than normal, would help us Dad gamers who can't always group with people.
I'm not really sure who this is for. Seems like a useless dead system to me. Who the hell runs normal mode dungeons? Why? They are dead content as soon as you reach max level. And the leveling experience is so short in comparison, and queueing with random people and beating normal is so fast and easy, I think this is useless. If this was expanded to also include mythic+ and raids, well now you're talking, but that kind of AI would be insane to create and also go against the MMO aspect of the game.
I was thrilled to hear this feature was coming! I'm a solo player most of the time, and fairly new to WoW. I personally never enjoyed the idea of participating in guilds/dungeon finders because some of these hardcore gamers have horrible attitudes. Gives you a ton of social anxiety and pressure to perform. And i always thought to myself: Why don't they just have NPCs i can take with me instead? Hopefully they keep evolving this in the future too. Maybe you could even customize, name, and spec them, so they because your own personal group.
Because of the community in dungeons, my wife refuses to play in them. She is new and quickly gets left behind, then kicked for not doing enough dps or not keeping up when they die.
This will make it much better for her to learn them to start with, and a safe place to play them.
Oh that happens to me I’m not new per say but sometimes im not putting out tons of damage and what not on a new alt and then its bye bye to me since I wasn’t doing well.
I've never seen anyone kicked in a random normal/heroic 5-man group for low DPS. I don't use damage meters anymore (I play solo, why bother) but I'm very sure I did practically zero damage in the last random normal I queued for while leveling, just because the raid-geared tank ran off with all the mobs, and I didn't even catch up to the group until they stopped for a boss... 😅😭
I detest the impatience and immediate hate that gets thrown around the moment someone has the audacity to heal wrong, or die, but getting kicked from a random 5-man for low DPS? I doubt it.
@@evage99 You have said you are a solo player, and stopped using damage meters due to this. This tells me you have atleast some experience in playing wow at a higher level. Have you played with a brand new person in a dungeon without a raid geared racer?
My wife is still learning, and as a side effect most dungeons the healer is doing more damage, and sometimes if they die, they get lost, doing no damage at all, and usually a vote goes up with 'no damage' or 'lack of participation' near the last boss. This doesn't happen every queue and every dungeon mind you, but it has happened enough to ruin the experience
@@evage99 I notice more and more tanks are playing that way. It seemed like I was doing little dps but its because I was literally running the entire time.
I think some people will need to remember that Dragonflight will be the default expansion, when TWW will be current.
You're free to use chromie, but as the new-player experience, this is a massive change for those players. It'll be for everyone to use, but I think that's the real reason why this is being worked on rather than it just being a new feature for them to drop into wow.
I see what you’re getting at.
This is such a good point. It will let all those new to the game players do exiles reach then organically continue their story in DF with these follower dungeons and they will be able to learn all the things you need to know to do dungeons - like all the mechanics of their class as they learn a new spell down to - oh this is what this mechanic looks like and this is what the npc's are doing when there is this tell, maybe i should do the same... at their own pace without risk of abuse. It's sad that the abuse exists but at least this lets you side-step it.
It explains why the leveling campaign is so well polished and the rest of the expansion is so Bare Bones and repetitive and generic.
I actually think it's really hilarious, because all of the things that people praised and said were signs that the developers were listening and that they were actually changing, were really just things that they have been planning for a very long time. They were going to use this expansion as the new beginning leveling experience. It had nothing to do with people's concerns, their complaints, their feedback, it was just business as usual. It just so happened to come at the perfect time to make the game designers look good.
@@pauldacon828your take on the expansion is terrible. It doesn't feel bare bones at all.
And holy fucking shit can you neckbeards give the "game devs are all evil and want us to suffer" crap a rest already?
Even if DF was designed the way it is with these new systems in mind, that doesn't mean they didn't choose to work on these systems based on player experience. The game has been around for decades. They've been dealing with a toxic player base for decades. The decisions of any game that lasts this long with this horrible a community doesn't do so by ignoring player feedback.
In general I hate it when MMORPGs introduce systems that replace people with NPCs or diminish the role of the community (I hate a similar system in FFXIV for example) but given what I've seen some players say to other players during WoW leveling dungeon, I'm not sure I particularly care how this will affect the WoW community... I had a friend who straight up refused to do dungeons and raid finder because she had too many bad experiences pugging. So screw it, bring in the bots.
Unfortunately, this is too true. I've got quite a few friends who just refuse to pug, and even I prefer to go with at least one friend, though more people I know, the better. With newer people, I like taking them in what I call "safe" groups, which means, more people we actually know, since we can't trust strangers to be decent, even to new, learning people.
That problem started when WoW became competitive. Like World First, PvP Leader and M+. In my opinion an MMORPG should never be competitive, period. Because then always a meta and toxicity will be unavoidable.
@@GoddessPallasAthena Yeah, my friend didn't even want to finish Exile's Reach because of the pug dungeon at the end, and she's a kickass raid healer. Might sound silly to have a mental block over a level 10 dungeon, but yeah some players have really been burned by the community.
@@hanzomain8302 Absolutely right. Though there have always been player-created "competition," Blizzard really fed into it, especially with the Mythic+ Timer. I think the timer really adds to the toxicity, and the way they run it has bled into easier dungeons. Dungeons (such as Timewalking or leveling dungeons) that SHOULD feel more relaxed are often made stressful for some with the extreme-speed runs that people want to do. We could still go fast, but does it HAVE to be done in five minutes?
So instead of cooperation, of helping each other, we have people acting like everyone else is in their way.
@@benoitrousseau4137 That's me also. At the beginning of Shadowlands in the first dungeon (Necrotic Wake I think it was called) me and the other players got shouted at by some douche tank and that was simply the last straw for my brain - never did any dungeons or raids in WoW ever since. So this feature is like a dream come true
This is a nice feature because some people don’t make dungeons fun. Some people will rush ahead causing you to play catch up. Some will pull everything while running ahead causing possible death and others will just abandon the group.
BUT THE BEST PART OF AN MMO ARE THE OTHER PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 edit: yak
@@pauldacon828 not when some people are not fun to play with
@Royceman1995 OMG NO SHIT REALLY?
@@pauldacon828were you being sarcastic?
@Royceman1995 if I said no would you believe me?
I really hope this works with war bands in the next expansion, it would be awesome to run dungeons together with your other toons being controlled as AI.
This is a way to get me interested in coming back to the game. This is a great thing for Alts as they hit max level and if it is expanded correctly a great way to level toons if you can use this for any dungeon.
this is the only practical use for a solo player that i can imagine. Leveling Alts.
This perfect for me, as I always worry about letting people down when I invariably muck up lol
I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am for this.
Hope they do this for normal, heroic, and m0 dungeons.sometimes its nice to try out alts without affecting others.
would definitely make for great Solo content and a way to start the season on the right foot.
This is a good for those who play the game casually. I used to play WoW mainly for Lore and RPG. This is honestly a good feature for players who want to enjoy the lore of the game.
this is fantastic for lore lovers like me, i like to my 1st run to be all about the story also i really wish this could make it to the BFA raids, some of them are imposible for make them solo
I realized that people are very hard on tanks and healers.
If the tank doesn’t pull as if you’re running through the dungeon, then he gets kicked.
If the healer attacks rather than heals, he gets kicked.
If DPS doesn’t do enough damage, everyone leaves.
It’s just dumb sht, and getting kicked is normalized. Seems like each dungeon I join theres at least 1 kick each time.
lol the npc tank line of sights the mobs, thats like 50% better tanking than irl players hahjahah
I saw that too! When I did that while tanking, it was "What an idiot, this is a leveling dungeon" and I feel vindicated by seeing an NPC do it 😅
this is the direction they should be going, more solo-friendly content; nobody has time to spend hours finding people, we want to get right into the action
the best thing about an mmo is engaging with real people
I agree and disagree, solo content can be great. It’s also destructive as fuck to our ability to socialize with other people. I think it’s already a massive problem with how little people communicate in game these days. It takes you max 15 minutes to Que for a dungeon, and when you join it’s already basically an AI experience because no one says hi or communicates at all except for to shit on noobs who don’t know mechanics. I’ve been playing this game since beta. I was 11 years old when it came out and I’ve never seen the game in such a state where the only talking I see in game is people selling gold runs and just refusing to even say hi when joining a group. Now you may think that’s not a big deal because it is just wow, but I think it’s reflective of a broader societal trend of loneliness and isolation and I think it’s insanely destructive for us as humans. We are social animals and I don’t like the idea of the game just becoming a grind you do on your own while you watch hours of dumb shit on Netflix. I say all this as the most introverted person you’ll ever meet. I enjoy my time alone more than most. But I think we need to be careful of eliminating all social aspects of gaming. Some of the best friends I’ve ever had I made in random dungeons in wow or in guilds before we had guild finder. If you go back to classic, it sucks but the one thing it does better is the social aspect, which is why everyone’s still playing it and enjoying the fuck out of it (until dungeon finder ruins it AGAIN). It is unconvenient to have to find groups, sure, but we have to ask why that is and what broader societal things we might wanna change (like maybe paying people more and moving society to a 4 day work week so people have more free time). I don’t like the idea that our free time is so precious these days we can’t even afford to spend the 30-40 minutes it would take to talk to another human being and organize a group.
@@Sussurrus the future is now old man.
@@Sussurrusnah fuck that people too toxic.
nobody has time? YOU have no time
if you want to do mythic 0 dungeons all expanions long do it... you wont be able to push +26 with bots
you have no time but you want to waste time dong one dungeon with bots for 50 minutes pulling pack by pack
This is so cool. Finally wow feels like its catching up a bit to modern standards of MMOs. Hopefully they continue to make casual content like normal and heroic dungeons more and more relevant rather than the endgame being strictly mythic+ and raiding.
I remember with MOP they made that training area accessible with your class trainers but this is much more accurate to actual dungeon gameplay. Except for them actually pausing for you to get mana. :P
This seems like a great concept, hopefully they continue to expand on it with some additional features like:
- Adding older dungeons to the pool table from previous expansions.
- Allow us to collect other NPC companions similar to the Mission table followers from Warlords of Draenor where you could recruit different named NPCs with different specs.
- With the Warband feature coming next expansion TWW, maybe even have a system where you can do follower dungeon with alt characters on your account, you can select an alt and spec and go adventuring with "yourself", doing dungeons with different characters that you have already leveled up. This is especially attractive for players that do lots of Roleplaying which I recently got into. My alts on my RP server are unique with themes and backstories (A Frostwolf beast-tamer, a Red Dragon mage in visage form, a Mok'nathal berserker, etc)
Imagine, while leveling, never having to deal with a-holes in a dungeon again. This is awesome.
I think this will fit perfectly into quest lines where there is dung at some point of the chain, and you can do it casually, and take your time to enjoy yourself and watch cutscene without the sprinters :)
As someone that likes to take his time and apreciate the visuals and story of the dungeon, I really appreciate this addition. It gives me the chance to take my time.
I just hope that there will be some sort incentive to keep doing normal dungeons with players, wow is already less social than it once was and id hate to see that trend progress any further.
Other than that im a big fan
This is pretty nice way to learn new roles. In FF14 i learned mostly how to tank on that game from the dungeons with npcs.
Ya, I'm glad both games are taking lessons from each other.
I am so looking forward to this. I live in Hawaii so time zones cause issues with having guildmates online when I am. This also allows my tank characters to learn the dungeons because everybody expects tanks to know every pull.
I'm a big fan of this because I've gotten sick of rude people and tanks that want to run a marathon through the dungeon. Its also a great way to train up on being a tank or healer.
i saw a tweet the other day talking about maybe the idea of doing follower dungeons with our warband and that would be really awesome, especially as someone that's written story for a lot of my characters that actually involves them interacting at some point. it would be really cool to have that for my own personal immersion. great vid Dan!
I can’t wait for follower dungeons. I don’t do dungeons at the moment because I prefer to solo stuff. So this means I’ll actually do dungeons.
I would like heroics also tho
I see nothing but good things from here a great way to learn new dungeons with friends
i love this. being a vanilla wow player, i used to love running dungeons with strangers. but now its just so toxic i never run them anymore. i missed out on experiencing alot of lore and had to learn it on youtube. swtor does this very well, but blizzard upped the game by adding more npc's than just a tank. i would like to see this branch out to all dungeons so i don't have to wait till i'm a higher level to run them. i wouldlike to experience them at the approprite level. good job blizz (still doesn't make up for breaking the world/quests with cata thought😁)
they cant end there they need to add a.i dungeons to each timeline expansion now
I would say that will happen but the older content will take some time.
It would also be interesting to see like a 10 man raid or even timewalking hand that feature
@@justinbuda2352
It would take about six months of development time if they actually made it a priority, but they won't.
We'll be lucky to see that in two years.
I need this for all the weirdo dungeon quests I keep getting and not being able to run.
this is exactly what i've wanted from wow for a long long time. i hate the expectation of perfection even in normal dungeons from fellow players, the need to watch a dungeon guide before even playing it, and the stress of judgement. this might actually get me to come back and maybe try tank and healer roles.
finally i can do dungeon quests!
training dungeons are a good idea imo. run them a few times, learn the basics, then progress into real groups if you like. see no downside of this. good change by Blizz, if, it works correctly.
The paladin tank LOS pulling...OMG.. that awesome!!! @4:06 Would love to see this expanded up to Mythic. Such a pain some times to get into Mythic group to to gear up for M+
I'll definitely enjoy this. This will make chasing specific items much easier since I won't have to drag guildies along or deal with pugs who also want the items.
i endorse Follower Dungeons to the point that i want them for Heroic and M0 difficulty too. it would be great Solo Challenge content AND it would be a masterclass for anybody looking to learn their role in the high end of content. i REALLY hope Blizzard takes this even further than Normal.
@@FiveOClockWorld They will learn the wrong lesson from it. Normal mode offers no useful rewards so almost nobody will run these. Blizzard will see the low engagement and decide that the feature is a failure and double down on shoving randos up your bum for all meaningful progression forever. It's too bad considering the (likely) high percentage of the player base who want grouping with others to be truly optional rather than an absolute mandate.
I was just thinking heroics could use them. Hopefully they'll add that later.
I love running mythic plus, but sometimes I enjoy just touring dungeons at my own pace. This will be enjoyable even for me.
This is a good way for people to learn the dungeons before doing it live.
I hope we'll have something like this for raids too. Waiting for players for HOURS for them to join or to just start the freakin raids because "blablabla we need to prepare" is overwhelming in the long run.
Basically it allows you to do a dungeon without the asshole factor. No skipping mobs , jumping off edges and no rez. You can do the dungeon. Tanks and healers will be able to learn.
👽0:00 = NICE👽 👽👽2:44 = NICE REMIX 👽👽
Hi, quick question, do you have a list of add-ons in this video? Or a link to the ones you use in RUclips? Thanks.
This is actually bad ass! I cant wait!
I would love if they did this with all the dungeons in wow eventually. I would love to go through a dungeon with some difficulty. Now, I'm just capping my xp gain and going solo through dungeons, and that's really hard. Being lvl 30 in a lvl 30 dungeon is hard, but it would be great if I could have 4 other bots with me. I love looking around and reading about every boss, rather that just rush and finish it as quickly as possible. This would be a game changer for me, and I would go through every dungeon in wow if this was implemented in old dungeons, just for the lore and a bit of a challenge.
Ive been soloing since vanilla launch and have never really liked the experience grouping with other people. From loot ninjas, to temper tantrum kids, to elitist gatekeepers, its been mostly a bad experience grouping with random people. This is fantastic. I also play sporadically due to my work schedule so itll be nice to be able to run old and current content at 3am with some AI buddies or when my wife and i play together. Wish theyd do this option for raids as well!!
Now we need to do this with are own alts instead of the NPCs 🤣🤣🤣❤️
I have a muscle disability and that sounds very exciting because I didn't get some mounts back in the day. I play a bit slow and the people hate me a lot. Hopefully they will include all dungeons in the future.
Any idea if the A.I scale with your item level? Just thinking if you’re a DPS with Raid gear/M+ gear and you’re pulling massive threat all the time because the tank is so low iL?
I like it, every storyline end in do this stupid dungeon. This make easier fir people on working weird shifts, on slow servers or RP serves to complete the story mode.
I love this, I hope blizz implement this to heroic and timewalking, I played wow once week to relax, i dont wanna deal with toxic players who wanna rush dungeons
I can see me using this a lot. I'm not really in a guild and I don't like dungeons and raids as PUG because of issues (Basically I was bullied as a kid when I didn't know how to play sports etc and the whole thing has meant I don't like doing things with strangers). I prefer knowing how to do the thing before I go in. So now I can learn.
This is HUGE and a welcomed change to the game. I hope it extends to End Game content and mythics. I want to practice higher level keys without risking the loss of someone else's key. I also hope they add more ai PvP content like this as well (I think it's Comp Stomp? I remember doing something like that in SL with Arathi Basin and LOVED it). That'd be a great catch-up mechanic for players that are late in the season.
Awesome. Just awesome. This will be great for doing story quests and RP.
I like that Blizzard seems to be acknowledging the fact that not everyone enjoys group content and PVP. I've been a proponent of more solo content for quite some time and my suggestion was to just make all the instances soloable (no NPCs), but with lower grade or even no loot or just gear that is only transmoggable, but now that I think about it, this is better.
Not only will this teach people who want to do group content in the future how to better play their class but it also fixes the "tricky game mechanics" problem. Some boss fights are just not soloable, even for over geared, over powered players due to game mechanics that require a group. This way Blizzard doesn't have to go in and redo and tweak stuff to make it more solo friendly, at least not immediately.
I do agree that this could go to all dungeons and raids, past and future. As far as the difficulties are concerned, I wouldn't mind seeing it on all difficulties, but right now, I'm just happy that we're seeing it period, it was a long time in coming.
I look forward to seeing how this goes!
Hope this goes to every dungeon in all expansions, including heroics
I haven't done any of the Dragonflight dungeons (or Shadowlands either) because I just don't like PU groups. This will be a godsend for transmogging and for those missing goodies I have never got.
Wonder if they will add gear to the followers like they did with mission tables or something similar it'd be nice if they had some minor progression as a small prize
Delves in the war within has gearable follower
I think it great. For returning players it can be hard to follow along if you return between two expansions. I hope there make it possible to run with them own alts that wood be amazing.
I think this is Great! To be able to take my time and go through these dungeons will be awesome.
I would love it if you can use your alts as the followers. I.e. you go in with your tank or healer and your DPS alts come with you.
I am really looking forward to this feature. Next to Transmog and original Flight, this will be one of my favorite features of all time.
I've always thought they should do this. Thank you for the video. I am so excited about this!
From my experience you get quests for these dungeons and in a normal group usually you can't even complete the quests. Tanks run off at maximum speed, give you no time to get quest items, leave you to die, etc. and boot you if you say anything. This will be a complete replacement for me.
are the profession recipies included in the loot?
I would love to see this moved back to earlier expansions. To let players use older dungeons for this very thing, even at max level.
Can you imagine? Max level, being able to run one of the older dungeons, from Classic to Shadowlands, in the Normal mode (maybe even potentially Heroic) at the level you're at? Would be hellishly fun.
Quick question, will every boss grant you catered loot for your spec? been arguing about it that blizzard may just give you a chance to loot or just gold from chest
Do you think they Will add this for M+ as well and for the lfr ?
It would be kind of nice in future expansions that they use this feature to incorporate NPCs relevant to the plot.
Using your alts as followers and gearing them would be awesome
About time Blizz!
Hopefully this will be rolled out to older dungeons eventually too.
I hope that they expand this to all leveling dungeons. While you may not get the bonus you would for doing random dungeons, for dps, it'll probably be a lot faster to keep queueing them instead of doing random, assuming you want to only level in dungeons.
will be great to collect/complete quest
I don't think the wow community truly knows how good this is yet.
I LOVE THIS. I love doing the only one on Exile's Reach when starting new alts. I was hoping they'd do this for so long!
Took me some 20 seconds to realize: cool, I can actually train some specs I'm not firm in and how to use them in Dungeons! Also, I can finish dungeon quests with alts at whenever o'clock!
I'm with you. I'm a bit long in the tooth myself and having this to allow me to enjoy and learn the dungeons before having to have others who know it having to deal with me learning it (especially if I'm on one of my tank characters) is outstanding. Plus once I can learn it I can help others but running mythics and heroics
Implementing AI NPCs is amazing tbh. Excited to learn more.
They need to add heroic and mythic and mythic plus to this for sure
This sounds amazing! If I want to learn how to heal or practice as a tank, or learn the boss fights so that I'll know them for regular groups, I can without the "you need thick skin because expecting adults to act civil towards one another is unrealistic."
To me, this is a great feature when I'm nervous to step into a mythic+ dungeon. Like right now I'm returning to the game. This would be an easy way to test the new mega dungeon they added in dragonflight. I only played the regular DF ones at the start, so it would be useful to check out the megadungeon for immersion and just seeing basic mechanics. Then I wouldnt feel blind joining somebody's +5 of it at the start of the season. Joining a +2 is no big deal and that works too, but the AI dungeons would be more chill and I could really take in the dungeon.
This will be so nice for finishing up dungeon quests on alts too
Id love to see this for all the old content. Dungeons that the mechanics stop you from finishing some parts is hair pulling. I have a Protection pally that is maxed level but after hearing so many putting people down for not knowing roles this will help me learn the role and get me ready for other content.
I loved this feature in Guildwars 1 and being really happy to see that this feature finally comes to wow. I really hope they expand this feature to heroic and mythic 0 dungeons
I'd been wishing Proving Grounds had existed back when I was first trying out dungeons. This will be a great way for new players to learn the different roles and for solo players to experience content and improve without the toxicity of random people.
Any word if they will have the followers be characters from your warband?
I'd LOVE to see them do this with raids!
If they manage to put this in all the dungeons of the game and maybe even raids(hopefully), this might be the best feature they have ever realeased.
I really like it, it's like dungeon training wheels, I've got a level 70 paladin and I've always wanted to get into tanking with it but really didn't want to step on any toes while adjusting, sure there is guides on RUclips for anything but actual experience is different, likewise with my priest.
If you've watched guides and done your "homework", tanking is about not giving a shit about what your pug group says. I've had multiple experiences with people having snarky comments about my tanking, while they were contradicting themselves and lacked knowledge about the game. One of the most common examples I had were dps players spamming "pull more" during bolstering and/or bursting.
I am serious, if you're gonna do tanking in the future, put instance, party and say chat into separate windows, turn off chat bubbles and fully ignore everyone, because chances of them having something useful to say are very slim.
@@jankxyard I don't watch guides, I don't do homework when I am trying to have fun, the extent of it for me is hitting up icyveins for a build, it simply isn't the way I play and it never will be... these give me a way to learn mechanics without making someone else's time potentially wasted.
I have mained rogue since I started in TBC, but I used to raid heal on the side as disc priest back in the day during wrath. I haven't healed since though, so I would find it difficult to get back into that because the game is VERY different today.
However I can see huge potential for this feature, and I think they will expand it into the higher difficulties in the future once they get it fine tuned. I think this could be the perfect tool for starting a new role or practising on an old one.
Thanks for another great video MrGM ❤
Hopefully blizzard will add in where you can que up for a "random follower dungeon" that gives experience after completing it like what you get when doing a random normal, heroic, and timewalking dungeon.
seems awesome gonna farm for the rings for iskar mounts :D
