Bear in mind when pre-patch occasions have been quick and enjoyable? – Common Dialogue

Pepperidge farms remembers.

Jokes apart, was this pre-patch a water cooler dialogue and slammed ahead? Its sluggish, forex comes at a snails tempo and it’s important to have a military of alts if you happen to actually need to get one or two toons geared. C’mon, Blizz. How is the ball being dropped so laborious?

Girl, now we have 5 weeks of doing this. Calm down.

TBH, I by no means understood why folks frightened about gearing characters in prepatch. The gear goes to get replaced fairly fast within the levelling strategy of the growth.

I simply get the brand new moggies and stage the characters then bounce. Gearing them is a waste of time.

But sure pre growth occasions was once enjoyable and have extra substance to them. They’ve been the identical factor with a special pores and skin since Shadowlands.

No.

I keep in mind Legion pre-patch occasions. I keep in mind Wrath pre-patch occasions.

And that’s it. Nothing else was memorable for me.

then why is blizzard gating it so laborious?

I haven’t seen what it appears to be like like this time round however I’ve no reply to this.

I’m not defending them, btw. I simply don’t perceive the individuals who fear about gearing alts for levelling lol.

I LOVED the Legion pre-patch. It’s my favourite since Vanilla. I’ve performed in each one, together with the unlocks of Nax and Bug City. I keep in mind when realms went down as a result of Tanaris raiding broke the sport for an evening.

There’s by no means been an ideal launch, however Legion was killer superior!

Levelling hasn’t been laborious in over 10 years tho.

I bought kicked from the map after I DC’d making an attempt to fly, ended up in Dorn.

I’ve no portal to get again, not hoop leaping my approach again.

It’s tremendous laggy anyway, so I’m simply going to cross.

Midnight is definitely going to be one of many worst expansions up to now. I’d take shadowlands any day of the week, and twice on sunday over what I’ve seen up to now of this dogwater. At least there was issues to be enthusiastic about for shadowlands, the dialogue about midnight has been about what they’re taking away.

Even the positives like housing, which I personally don’t care about within the slightest, are only a setup for later microtransactions. Same problem with tmogs, they re-vamped the system so as to add a gold sink to up these income numbers to promote some wow tokens.

Midnight feels tremendous cash-grabby and all the pieces launched for it up to now has been buggy, half-finished and underwhelming.

I don’t keep in mind when prepatch occasions have been ‘fast and fun’, no. Not instantly following launch, at the very least. WoW’s by no means been in a position to deal with having plenty of characters in a single place at one time—particularly whereas in fight—and at no time is that extra obvious than when a brand new out of doors occasion is occurring.

These occasions have at all times been a robust argument for ready a couple of days earlier than collaborating, after probably the most fickle of the vacationers have cycled out and gone again to no matter they have been doing earlier than the occasion got here round.

Last enjoyable prepatch occasion was after I leveled like 15 characters to max going backwards and forwards between bosses. Ever since then prepatch occasions are canine doo.

Getting gear is the sport. People are spamming bgs to get geared for tbc only for a inexperienced in hellfire to be higher. Gear is the sport snd getting stronger is all now we have. And thsts oerfectly high-quality.

If you dont care thats additionally high-quality however dont attempt to “ut its just prepatch” we need to play and get gear.

To reply your query: I’ve one in all all the pieces at 80 and have narrowed my Midnight foremost right down to about 3. I need to gear up all 3 on an equal footing and run some present content material to get a really feel for which one I like probably the most. The similar is true concerning the inverse of your assertion, as properly; why is Blizzard timegating one thing if it doesn’t matter?

It’s the digital model of shrinkflation. They’re doing all the pieces attainable to maintain folks subscribed whereas additionally shrinking the quantity of content material that’s out there. So we get restricted content material and it’s unfold out over an extended time frame to maintain both the performed metrics up or our subscriptions energetic.

We’re on the level the place there’s only one potato chip in every bag and it’s not sufficient for me anymore.

The similar factor is occurring to digital media. They used to launch 20-30 episodes of a present in a season. Now there’s six to eight episodes in a season. And they deliberately house them aside over a pair months so you may’t watch them abruptly, or they separate totally different seasons into totally different platforms or present the primary three seasons of outdated exhibits without cost and make you pay for the fourth season.

It’s simply all so irritating today.

we’d like a greater rares rotations or one thing to farm the brand new forex

Like I mentioned to another person, I don’t have a solution to this, nor am I defending it.

To get the gear to run present stuff makes excellent sense to me.

This pre-patch occasion is like each different one which I can keep in mind, besides WotLK and perhaps Legion.

The rose-colored goggles are robust with folks.

Go to Ogrimmar, and go to the Cataclysm portals* (You would have unlocked them if you happen to performed that x-pac) and that you just port you into the zone.

*Not certain if Blizz opend these portals from Cataclysm to all.
