You do you. We all play the game in different ways for different objectives. And that is fine.
While i dont agree its mandatory to get all glyphs, it is much fun with them imo. But again, might not be for everyone.
Some might spend the next 2 weeks exploring the world, doing side quests and exploring the story.
Others like me will be hyper focused on min maxing my char for M+/Raid.
And that is all fine.
And yea, to your idiana jones like exploration because you didnt wanna use the ramp. Been there, but we both know, it wasnt because we were tired or anything like that. We just decided to do it hardmode… right? RIGHT?
Also still learning, but seems you gain speed by diving down. I’m taking the exploring route, normally I’d dive right into dungeons etc. but I really like the quests. Doing things slowly, doing all side quests etc on a main, on alts just the main storyline.
I love little things like : sitting next to the dwarf, who’s explaining a history, the taking photos side quests… so far I love DF!
For me the reason while I did not get all the glyphs yet, is that I don’t want to have any spoilers going to different zones before story sends me there.
They do have an option, prioritize the glyph collection. I did the same on my char. Took about an hour and makes a monumental difference even for levelling.
Considering that there are no restriction in moving between the zone and it’s such a boost, it should be done as one of the first thing for everyone.
No spoilers needed, you can fly around without doing any quest or interact with anything. I’m barely past the first zone and i’ve already collected all the glyphs minus 2 because the one on top of the big mountain is difficult to reach without 6 vigor.
There honestly isn’t much to see or experience since you’re so high while doing most of it, you don’t really “spoil” any aspect of the story because you are not interacting with NPC’s/questing.
You see mostly tree line, mountains and some of the bigger structures, stuff you’d see flying into the area.
I never said its bad, i just said its not fastest to get them asap on your first char when it comes to speed leveling wise. Then u came , felt ofended or what , and started arguing without any proof , just your opinion, which is, to be honest, quite wrong.
I honestly don’t care if you toggle walk for a more immersive experience. If you want to fly around with a dragon with 3 vigor that hardly moves that’s up to you. Nothing in the game is keeping you from doing either or, the important factor here is that you CAN do it. If people want to RP for a deeper, immersive experience, nobody else cares what you do in game.
I honestly don’t even know at this stage why you’re even arguing about what is the fastest path to level 70, even if you are slow but playing enough you’d be at 70 already.
If anyone was trying to keep up with others they’re already way behind at this point and if you’re racing to 70 i don’t know what the point is, especially if you didn’t have enough time to get to 70 already, you’re still going to be far behind in the race to 70 players.
For people questing though, just normal leveling up, a glyph’d dragon cuts the travel time from quest to quest, zone to zone, quest area to quest area so drastically that you’d need to be leveling a different way to be able to compensate for all the extra time it takes you to move around with a gimped dragon.
At any rate, getting to 70 requires such little effort as a whole that I’m not sure why anyone would argue, if let’s say you saved one hour, which it wouldn’t, by not getting the glph’s to get to 70. But it doesn’t make sense, i ran through the same quest line through an ALT in the starting area and i zipped through so fast it was drastically faster. And it doesn’t take anything away from the experience, it just makes it more convenient and improves it.
Quests are still the same, everything is still the same, you just simply get from A to B easier and if you’re looking for nodes on a profession you get to the nodes much easier if they’re on a cliff or peak somewhere.
People arguing immersion or like it’s a race are making little sense, nothing is even keeping you from sitting on a cliff somewhere admiring the zone or whatever it is they’re entranced by, nothing at all is taken away.
You are the one that created a thread to tell that we’re been too slow. Too slow for what, I’m never going to be server first to hit 70 so race to what exactly? I just come from work, open the game, go from area to area, mess around with some crafting and call it a night. Then I see a thread like yours that I have to gogogo. Gogogo where dude. The game will be there even tomorrow and after a year. There is no race.
Nobody is talking about racing to 70, where are people getting this from? nowhere in the thread did it say this was to complete a race first or doing anything else other than moving faster and making life overall much easier and more fun. People are just being dramatic and going wild with their exaggerations. This isn’t taking anything away from the overall experience of enjoying the game at your own pace.
This is a QOL (quality of life) enhancement gain that taking 1 hour out of your day that will save so many players from tedium and doing things like waiting for vigor to recharge and not being able to reach areas they want to all because their dragon is gimped. This is like taking an international flight that gets you to your destination faster.
If this wasn’t for you then move along, this thread wasn’t for you or personal, many players will benefit however from this having this information who want to take the tedium out of their game experience and spend more time doing the things in game they want to instead of losing lots of their time over a period of time as a result of simply having an unglyph’d dragon.
While it helps I do not think that it makes that much of a dramatic improvement after you collect the glyphs from the first zone.
4 vigor, that you start with, was enough for me to cover vast areas, and it isn’t like more vigor helps with quests as much as you think, as the distance between the questing zone and the turn in area is not that big.
I finished two zones thus far (80% on both of them as I did not stumble into the quests during leveling) while dinging level 68. I collected the glyphs from both zones and flying feels comfortable enough already.
It certainly speed things up, but it is by no means a must. Even 4 vigor takes you far enough.
Really I wish that’s what it was, but honestly I was a proper doofus!!
My Husband later when I was doing the quest so the ramp straight away, and he laughed so hard when I told him what I’d done!!
Im doing it sloooow as frick. Almost made it to level 66 in the first zone. Mined ores like a madman and explored whatever part of the zone I wanted.
This is what makes WoW good, it offers a variety of ways to level up and cater alot of players needs. I assume I will hit 70 within the second zone, and continue on questing as a max level also trying to figure out the profession systems.
I’m not rushing leveling I play a hour a day Because not much to do right now at max level And i still have stuff to do like eat going to the store play some pokemon play with my cats
The first I did, was to get my flying mount fully upgraded and even then is bad. All is need is a branch/gate or some pixel to stop you. Imagine using no upgraded mounts for those 6k yards distance quests, where the path is upwards ofc.
If they would timegate the mount progression I would alt+f4. I have better things to do than wait 2 minute for the stupid bubbles to recharge.
