    I think current gearing is fine/good for the majority of players. The implementation of faster gearing may expose the lack of incentives for mythic raiding, but mythic raid not being incentivized is a problem with mythic raid, not gearing progression imo

    Gearing being the way it is is one of the main reasons this is the first expansion in a very long time that I've been playing for the whole time.
    It allows players with limited time to play to get to the content they enjoy rather than giving up before being fully geared.
    Waht I would love to see would be more cosmetic rewards for the key range between +20 and title.

    Unpopular take: Aside from the acquisition method of corruptions, the Ny’zoth patch was FUN, visions were fantastic, the seasonal M+ affix was the BEST they ever came up with and to further add to the “after a certain point mythic raid should just be farmed” Nyalotha was a PEAK example of that.

    Dorki's take on needing to be consistent for MDI, and Echo kind of "beating themselves" with their inconsistency, makes me think of the difference between Echo and Liquid during RWF. Liquid are insane, but most of the time, it feels like Echo is just being more consistent with their pulls.
    I also cannot wait for the next TGP, as it's just way more fun to watch over MDI.

    They should just *remove all affixes.*
    The argument that they _"make dungeons feel different"_ is horseshit and the only reason people are repeating it is because they imagine that it would be boring without them...but the people who don't enjoy running dungeons beyond their rewards are hating doing them with the affixes as well...and those of us who actually just enjoy running dungeons, who enjoy the gameplay of our chosen classes and/or specs, who enjoy doing the mechanics and getting better at it and/or learning doing it on alts with different utility, we enjoyed spamming dungeons long before m+ as a whole was even a thing. _Aka the difficulty scaling is more than enough to change how dungeons feel and how you approach them for those of us who _*_>actually< enjoy dungeons._*
    Also they already removed *_the only affix that >actually< made the dungeons different,_* which was *Teeming* _(they could've just stopped duplicating the lieutenant trash mobs and it was perfectly fine)._ So...they should just grow a spine and remove *all affixes* at this point, including Tyrannical/Fortified.
    Maybe keep them as an optional for some additional tmog reward or someshit but having them be non-optional is just cancer with no upside _(except Bursting, as an Rdudu I love bursting :V)._

Doing it for the challenge and cosmetics like Twisting Corridors and Jailer's Gauntlet were pretty awesome. Having to do 2 runs every week on every character for the first 2 seasons was the opposite of awesome. And that the first 2 seasons it was such a hassle, and annoying and repetitive just left a bad taste in people's mouths and only remember it for that part.

    • @ragondo1
      @ragondo1 5 месяцев назад

      I feel like there’s a middle ground that blizzard should strive for. In season 2 I went giga hard on alts because the hearing was faster. But in season 3 I couldn’t be bothered. Gear in a vacuum is super boring (main stat secondary stats aren’t interesting to engage with) and you are doing the exact same content. I could have done keys on my alt warrior. But it’s not like warrior changes greatly. It’s gonna feel the same way for the most part.
      Alting is fine, but alts should not be the focus of blizzards endgame content loop. It should exist for people who enjoy alting, but there should be incentives to having one character that you push to the max.

    As someone that mainly plays the game for M+ and doesn't do a ton of raiding any more I don't care about being geared up instantly. I care about being able being able to hit comparable gear levels and around a the same rate as a raider because I want to feel competitive in my own content and not feel like I'm running around with a bum leg because I'm not doing all content at the same level. This was a huge problem in pvp and why they started getting that increase in ilvl so their gear would be bis for their content.
    Anyone that thinks m+ isn't comparable in challenge as raid just are not pushing high enough. Also m+ players generally invest a vastly larger amount of time in their content then a raider ever could or would be willing to do.

    @carteks1 5 месяцев назад +1

    The best way I can think of throttle RWF raiders power.
    Reduce splits. And make a smoother power curve for all players equally is this.
    Stop dropping tier gear in the raid. And stop dropping it in the vault.
    Let one piece of tier come from AOTC/ksm.
    And let every other piece of tier come from the catalyst.
    Get one charge on week one.
    So week one if you get AOTC or KSM you can have your two piece. Everyone can. And no one can get more.
    Week 2. You can get an extra charge.
    Week 3 you get another charge. Everyone can have 4 piece on week 3. Tune the rwf around the 2 piece.
    So when everyone else (including rwf) gets 4 pc it will all naturally be nerfed.
    Then have the final 2 bosses from mythic drop gear that can go one lvl higher 5/5 myth while all other loot in the game can only go 4/4. Including from the vault even if you kill final two bosses that week.
    Incentive to kill final boss.
    Smooth power curve.
    Natural nerfing
    Less splits.

    Why I hated rotating raids:
    I'm in a casual aotc guild that raids one day a week. I loved Castle Nathria, and was really excited to go back there in Shadowlands fated, and was not so excited about the others. Going in I didn't mind that we were gonna be playing the others though because at least I had the Nathria weeks to look forward to. Then I ended up needing to miss two raid days in the first six weeks, which just so happened to be the weeks that Nathria was up. Burnt out so hard I stopped playing until 2024, though ngl that was probably really good for my health...

When I was in a non CE guild with my friends ( this was the reason I left to pursue CE/BDG) we pulled FA 15 times after killing maiden, and just decided nope. We aren't this kind of guild. The next tier we Killed Aggramar and didn't even bother pulling Argus. I doubt we were or are alone in that. There's got to be tons of guilds who get to bosses like tindral and just nope the fuck out of there.

One small mistake could be a diffrence between victory and failure. Of the matches I watched during this weekend most of the teams that knocked out was to their own tiny screw ups/failures. Mandatory just played the Grand Finals flawless, and they won! They deserved the win.

    @jinxero475 5 месяцев назад

    The gear progression question for me comes down to this: when did you ‘feel’ like you were no longer getting stronger. For me, it was that first time I took tokens over gear from the vault. Making that decision, to me, was acknowledging I was done progressing my gear. Was there some RNG drop I could get for a single digit percentage increase out there, of course. But choosing tokens was tantamount to entering the ‘this feels like a job’ grinding phase. Now, when did I first make that decision; I think it was on week 6…

  • @SupaChalupa793
    @SupaChalupa793 5 месяцев назад

    I've got a cook for nerfing RWF gearing. Combine heroic and mythic raid lockouts until end boss dies per region. Kill splits, teams get one chance at raid loot, and then bosses can be tuned for regular human levels of gear. Might have to adjust M+ gear in some way to go along with it, but if this was a temporary thing that changed when end boss died I think it'd be a huge benefit.

    I actually would get back into mythic raiding if the last 2/few bosses that are always harder become aspirational. It would make CE more fun to get while not having the dread of wiping 200-400 times on the last few bosses for no other reason than the CE fos, at least now it would give something maybe worth pushing for. I was ok with the entire mythic being aspirational argument, but I think this is just better because the first few bosses in mythic have always been super fun to me, the last few were always ehhh, too much wiping to be fun and burned me out for months afterwards every time I got back for a CE tier.

    1:20:00 Dork is exactly right. I'm not trying to be rude, but anyone in the HoF or higher world saying that Tindral is "piss easy" is out of touch.
    Don't get me wrong- Max is right in saying the boss is a joke compared to its prenerf state. Except the version of Tindral that Echo and Liquid killed would be a 1000+ pull boss for every HoF guild and God knows how many pulls it would require for every guild after that.
    I'm in a world 1300ish guild right now progressing Tindral. Our best pull is like 20%. The boss is nuts. It's doable, but it's nuts. You can and WILL get one-shot by Beams, Dispell overlaps, and not soaking seeds over and over and over again.
    Now, you could say "well you're just not good enough to get CE, then".... Except, historically, every mythic end boss not named The Jailer has been killed by around ~1500 guilds each patch.
    Additionally, I could jump up to a world 500 guild (I have plenty of friends who raid there) and they would say the same thing. Even *with* the nerfs, the boss is still tough.

  • @Vanthil13
    @Vanthil13 5 месяцев назад +1

    I think to improve the MDI Experience for the PLAYERS not the watchers -- they should shorten the amount of time people have to prepare. The big problem is you feel you need to prepare for weeks, hours on hours every day, because there are some teams that that is literally their Day Job and you'd feel you can't compete with them if you don't.
    I think something like open the tournament realms to see the affixes/dungeon pool on Thursday, Friday, then tournament on Saturday Sunday. Or do something like Saturday is the only Practice day you get and Sunday is the tournament day and it occurs over 4 weekends. Change all the dungeons and affixes for the next week so people can't prepare again ahead of time. Rinse and repeat till done.
    This will absolutely lead to more scuffed runs which might honestly be more enjoyable to watch but it also means less time investment from the participants and less competitive edge to those who play WoW as their Day Job. It just opens the playing field more and prevents burnout from the teams.

    Hey guys! Love the pod!
    For a season 4, what would you think of a "speed running" approach instead of boosting up the level of old raids?
    So keeping the raids where they are now, but letting the guilds test out some awesome tech for how to speedrun a raid from start to finish.
    I know this was super popular in Classic Vanilla era, with some of the tech people did in BWL for example. So let raids be "easy" for the top tier guilds, but have a focus on who can put in the fastest run in Season 4 Raiding, and maybe give an achievement or smth for having the best clocked raid or maybe even like a small tournament to close out the season and let guilds show off the awesome tech?

  • @stoutside
    @stoutside 5 месяцев назад

    titanforging worked well week on week you would naturally be upgrading the raid teams ilvl, created re clear rewards not only from the current tier but from older tiers mixing 2sets with 4 sets, every piece of content had reward potential, social content was worth doing and my friend group wasnt dependent on how similar their skill level was to mine, it also blurred the line of ilvl gatekeeping into group content which allowed for players to creep into harder content even if pug groups had strict/ ridiculous entry requirements.

    An extra upgrade path at .5 patch each season with vault tokens giving a +3 ilvl upgrade each week would feel pretty good imo. 1-2 upgrade steps per item or something like that perhaps? Would last more or less entire season. 100% agree that Blizz should lean into cosmetic rewards. A phat weapon mog or set at 3k rating would push me to go for it, now i sit a 2900ish on two chars and not bothering.

    For fated raiding they should bring back a raid from a previous expansion and make it relevant. Like, for example, with S4 fated raid I'd love for them to bring back Black Rock Foundry and then tune it to S4 Fated gearing and update it. That would be very sick, but that would be very sick of them to do that every S4 fated of every expansion: just bring back a way older raid from long before. What do you guys think?

    With the way mythic raiding is now, where it is realm locked at start and id locked all the time, if the rewards there were more important then they are right now, it would feel really bad for casual players like me.
    If you want to to increase the importance of mythic raid's rewards you also need to remove these limitations on geared casual players (who knows the mechanics) from progressing it weekly in pub groups.

    The only way it is possible for them to slow things down is to remove the RNG nature from everything and make gearing deterministic. I’ve run Rise at least 40 times between my shaman and Paladin. Yet to see a Tyrstone. Things are much different when you’re pugging…

    the upgrade system in S3 is great, this allows me to play multiple alts, 1 we need in the raid and 1 i want to push keys with.
    so i can work on my CE and push keys on a different role.
    i rather have time to play a different game than be forced to play wow all day every day to be able to get CE

    If they did the vault token for tertiary thing maybe they just turn off the tertiaries when the next season starts. Yes it usually doesn't feel great to get weaker but if you're doing new content and replacing it anyways I think it might be okay

    and one more think i would like to see added to the vault is the 6 token you can take over gear if you pick then you could buy a token that could upgrade hero loot to mythic tier, and if was 2-hand weapon would take 2 tokens

    Cooking. Let's say we cap rewards from keys at +10 and we cap the total dungeon pool at +20. With rewards being only at 10, I'd say most people could make that a goal but for the high end players you go hard. 11 to 20 is just hard as nails. Very few like .01% players can complete a 20. So once you do it's like damn that feels like a good accomplishment! To the point where you might need full bis mythic gear and can't complete a single 20 til like a week before a patch. That's how hard it could be and for us casuals. Maybe after a few heroics we could do +10 and just farm those for the patch

    To the point at ~1:14:00, other games that allow you to customize spell effects usually have the option to disable other players spell alterations (so they will only look like the default visual). Seems like a simple fix to the problem.
    Another example being Overwatch, they allow you to basically turn off skins (At least they did in OW1, haven't played 2 much) so even if an opponent is using a skin, you simply see the default skin.

    There is but 1 thing I don't like about gearing, after fully gearing 3 characters to 488.. I wanted to try something new and it was a total disaster and unfun challenge to grind it yet again! On my characters I have stored 3k+ crests that I have no place to use at all(already done with tmogs, even some lfr->normal). I cant give it to my new alts to skip all the time gating needed to gear(not to mention skill drop as season ends). Its not interesting at all to grind 11 keys to gear up nor its useful experience to do 16-20 runs. Just give players an option i.e. achievement - gear 3-4-5 characters to 480 ilvl and unlock transfer crests option. Even divided it by 2(4 is too much imo). Little to no players that aim to play at 3300+ enjoy to grind low level keys.
    p.s. or add a stacking buff, like the one with legendary quest.. That would add 50% more crests drop each time you gear up your alt to certain ilvl. So that players would skip useless grind phases quicker. If blizzard started to respect player time even a little bit. As you make gear obsolete each patch. And would make professions go obsolete in the next phase of wow addons "cycle".

      ​@@cd2194for me it depends a lot on the casters. Since I discovered tettles and dratnos (and also trell but he isn't casting) they are just the goats for me. I also watched the first rfw streams from liquid whenever they were casting.
      I enjoy the humor of dratnos especially.
      But when I hear meeix casting I instantly alt + f4. And it's not because she's a women (before some white knight comes in) because I enjoy naguras casting. I just don't enjoy the things she's talking about and she's kinda the eiya for pve content for me. They both seem like they lack game knowledge.
      And in eiyas case, she at least is only the host and gotten much more knowledgeable over the years.

    the problem with vault tokens is that raiders stop needing the vault much sooner than m+ers due to them having access to so much more endgame loot. That means raiders would have also have access to more tokens and the gear gap would further increase.

      Raid has a weekly lockout, M+ doesn’t. So M+ has far more potential loot than raid as you can potentially pug M+ 16h a day every day if you wanted, but you can’t really pug mythic

  • @user-tj9re9vy6f
    @user-tj9re9vy6f 5 месяцев назад

    Perhaps they can add one more segment into the game? If we have PvP Power on gear, why not Raid Power and M+ Power, considering these are 3 very distinct pillars in the game. That way the gearing speed can match what each subsect of that community wants. Then people who mainly do M+ won't need to care for raid gear or raid trinkets because their BiS comes from dungeons. And for the people who enjoy raiding and want to raid will already be getting Raid Power gear. This would also help the Race to World First, imo, because then raiders won't be forced to have to grind so much M+ during the prep period either, that and warbands I think could make The War Within have a really interesting race.
    I know people don't like having more friction between hopping into different game modes, especially if it's your one character in an MMORPG. But I think, given how extensive Blizzard is making these game modes, they deserve to have their own, fair balance. I don't know how they ever thought they could balance the game around player vs player combat, 20 main raid groups, 30 main raid groups, 10 man raid groups, 5 main dungeon groups. (The 10 and 30 come from flex heroic runs as an example).

    Go in dark- The only info we get prior to raid release is the name of the raid to build hype. We learn of the bosses/final boss of the raid as we clear it.
