I don’t feel like having many high level alts is like having an army because they don’t really help each other with other than gold.
This game is just not meaningful enough to level alts with when they are just seperate entities. Yeah, you get a few mutual perks like Pathfinder and heirlooms but still not enough to keep me motivated.
They should have done like this long ago: Every tiny progress on one character that you achieve should automatically benefit every other of your characters, otherwise what’s the point? Grinding all the things from scratch on every single alt. Hell, even Maw intro can’t be skipped.
I remember my annoyance in Warlords that every single alt had their own garrison. Why the hell not at least give you one mutual castle and see all of your alts there hanging around. And being able to invite alts to a group, maybe even talk to them.
I know I am probably wishing too much from this game. But seriously, we are in 2020 and nothing fundamentally has changed in WoW other than pretty graphics and some added casino-like features to keep the addicts addicted.
No thanks
Exactly. That is another motivation killer. Other than “congrats for getting this achievement for being an idiot, grinding something that you didn’t have to”, there is not much to show for. All those people who grinded BFA a lot are not stronger than anyone else in SL. All they can do is flaunt their pets, mounts and toys… and achievements. That’s all.
Maybe this is what the game is all about now. Just showing off. Like a shallow materialist
I dont mind the game is about collect things, i feel media try to rush me as if it would lead anywhere. I think you have to pick what exclusives you want, for example, vexiona mount and curve achivement is an exclusive i wanted from bfa and thats what i worked for. Wow pvp for example is not for me, it hits too many fields of the game just to be competitive and i dont have the time or patient, better play a moba where i just pick something grind an hour have pvp and thats it.
I really like the way you think. Not many users on this forum think quality thoughts like that. Especially being able to see behind the veil of manipulation of the game (media) and being able to express it in an understanding manner.
It requires strenght to do that and a really focused mind. That is, to pick one specific task, goal, road. It takes even more strenght to realize that certain goals are just not worth it - not worth the time and energy it would take to acquire them.
Problem is: there are waaay too many things to do in WoW and they all seem important. Even more so in the newest expansion, patch, etc. The new, hot trendy thing. And I always kind of refused to be on the mainstream path. I don’t see the point of raids. My only motivation would be to see the story but even that I can watch on Youtube. And the gear? Well, I will not be unhappy if I have mediocre gear in WoW compared to many other players.
I would however be unhappy, if I had some of the best gear in WoW but the time and energy I had to invest in getting that would take a toll on my health and well being in real life.
Sure, the list builds on from that it just depends on how casual you are XD
After Torghast I would do … the Maw. It’s really unique for now. Maybe not every day, but a couple of 30 mins runs a week are nice.
After that you get into more “dedicated” stuff. And my personal favourite content is M+. So there’s that. Emissaries/Callings … not sure. I’d do them occasionally but not over doing M+ at whichever level.
I wait until Wednesday so that i can complete the weekly stuff, including my bae Torghast.
After that i do the same thing every day. Complete the daily calling, send out my missions, check on my wildseeds, do the Maw stuff…and then i waste the rest of my day completing WQ for anima and rep.
I already did lvl 1 and lvl 2 of Torghast and it was kind of meh. I am still laughing at the purple currency that drops there. Making your brain believe that it is SO important. Only to find out that it dissapears if you don’t use it in that run. But the fact that they made it purple color is kind of ridiculous, imo. Like this constant dopamine rush to keep you believing that it is so important. Ofc you get Soul Ash in the end, which is relatively important, but still.
Night Fae players have a soul garden where they can imbue depleted wildseeds with different types of souls (obtained through missions), which then grant rewards after 3 days of incubating.
Exactly. Maldraxxus gets to build big bad abominations, Night Fae gets to play around with big bad seeds. Though their big boys actually do something and ours just…give materials like fish and herbs lol
X-Pac has been out for 2 weeks, and people have leveled 3-5 or more alts to 60 ( or working to ). I mean 2 ( !!! ) weeks. Not 2 months, not even 1 month, but 2 weeks.
This is beyond pathetic. Even in Diablo 3 it takes you more to “complete” a char when a new season starts, than in SL.
Yes yes…“catch up”. WHAT Catch up?! You do have time to play the game, hence, working on your 4th tone to level to 60 ( or something ).
If you see nothing wrong in this, then I’m afraid this will be the future of WoW. No Progression, just repeatability because literally, that’s all you are doing now. Repeat the same story/quests/etc.
That’s not progression. That’s stupidity in a game design.
Oh that is pretty cool. My vulpera hunter joined Night Fae, I might play around with that. I hope it is not way too demanding to get at least decent results.
Seems to me that Blizzard are trying to appeal to everyone, and therefore not really deliver a quality product for any of the target audiences. It’s like a watered down version of a quality game that would have been designed for a very small niche audience.
TODO list after ding:
-Do dailyes yes but just to complete sanctum quest or you find some intresitng rewards
-Do few normals
-Do few heorics
-Do all mytic
-After all mytic done do thorgast
-Forge legendary
-Have some fun in maw its not that bad actualy, i love this dark souls concept with stygia
-Do PvP, reward system is nicely fixed and reworked, PvP is less infested with meta
-Do stuff for loremaster if you are lore freak
PvP got good reward system just check it out, you can actualy gear your character decently just by doing PvP only, you can also upgrade PvP gear with honor, which means people have reason to play BG. And yes if you compare PvP with low skill shadowland corruption style , pvp is nirvana now, just get 2x PvP trinkets and some versi gear and ,yea rogue wont one shot you… game begins.
After main storty there is some side quests…get them for more lor, ok they are pepa pig style, but do them for glory (there is reason why i make this activity last on list), do them for reputation if for nothing
I’m taking it easy, trying to do my covenant daily’s, Ill eventually get round to clearing all the quests in every zone as rep with other factions never hurts, but honestly, its very casual friendly atm and I don’t feel a need to rush rush rush to keep up with anyone.
Recently, I just abruptly dropped leveling in Shadowlands. I will continue it when I feel like it. I have a plan to join all covenants on 4 different characters, and that will come eventually.
I made all classic cloth things I didn’t have in my transmog collection on my mage, noticed she has alot of darkmoon faire prize tickets so now I camp her at DMF so she can get tickets daily. I hope to save enough for the 1k tickets mount.
Did profession DMF quests on 3 characters, reminds me that 1 is missing so I guess that’s what I will do next. It took a while because the requirement is 75 in classic category, so I had to level them up a bit on my newest character. That meant going around Azeroth digging Archeology and mining on the go.
Every day I do fishing/cooking dailies (from major cities) on some character/s.
Also I do a quest for Bloodgazer Hatchling every day.
Pining for “This Side Up” Achi, also requires long term dedication.
And various other random stuff that spontaneusly comes to mind. I get “left behind”, but I’m not very competitive so it doesn’t feel like an issue to me. I also have an edge to try/get into new things so that affects what I do a bit.
I’m going to start farm heroic dungeons and later on M0/+, but it won’t be soon because I need a lot of time to do callings, maw and torghast. Also I still want to do something with my professions despite it’s not necessary nowadays, but still fun.
Actually I don’t think it’s a problem. I’m an altoholic and having to join 4 covenants on 4 different characters it’s perfect. I haven’t completed anything on any toon yet.
This is why I was saying my main is suffering (no soul ash cap, etc.), but it’s also not very important to me, I’ll catch up eventually. Right now my priority is making sure I start working on the stories of every covenant, so for me there’s actually plenty of content to do.
I also want to level one final toon to have one alt of each armour type before LFR opens, so I can start collecting the looks.
