Hate thread against pet battle

It’s a legendary boss battle. That’s the highest difficulty Blizzard has in their toolbox for Pet Battles. :expressionless:

Yes, if you know what those pets are. And I return to my initial point: If you don’t scour Wowhead or otherwise copy/paste other people’s wisdom, then this knowledge doesn’t come very easily on its own. It takes hours upon hours of trial and error, because the game design is utter crap and not very transparent.

Yet but that doesn’t mean it is the hardest. That is like saying the champion of light is a mythic boss so that’s the hardest it gets.

Oh the horrors! Having to use trial and error, experiment and having to use your knowledge to solve a problem? Just terrible. You don’t have fun doing that, I get that. Then don’t do it.

Not everything in the game has to appeal to everyone and not everything has to be designed with the gogo mentality in mind. Blizzard is rewarding people that do more diverse content in the game and that is great. I really hope they keep this up.

i dont hate that they exist but i hate how much rep they give compared to regular wqs.

whats so different to the other worldquests? why are others only rewarding a measily 50 rep or so for far more effort?

and dont come at me with “oh its a reward for people who went through the process of collecting many pets”. its not an effort or feat, you can buy those on the auctionhouse. period.

it just feels like you are thrust into niche content if you dont want to lose out on the majority of the rep. :confused:

What I’m saying is that a developer made the World Quest, implemented the boss pet, and had to choose how difficult to make it. His options were White, Green, Blue, Purple, or Orange. The baboon chose Orange. He should have chosen Purple.

For a World Quest which is meant to take a few minutes at best, yes, it is terrible. That’s content that’s overtuned for what it’s supposed to be: A regular World Quest!

World Quests however, they try to appeal to the broader audience.

Pet battles are a nice side thing, come on people, you can literally put together 2 pet comps that can beat nearly all pet battle bosses in Nazjatar and Mechagon, it’s free rep and free rewards.
2.5k-3k rep for both zones.

600 for mechagon. They only give 75

as they all should.

Oh well, mechagon rep isn’t hard anyway, I’ve started on monday and already 2.5k from revered Nazjatar, 4k mechagon, done in 2-3 days.

World Quests are god damn awful! You should really stop using that as an argument. If anything I would be for making all Wqs harder and more rewarding.

No they weren’t… There is only green and orange when it comes to pet battles. Unless you want to change the entire system just for a little bit of of clarity. Also really? Insulting a person just because he choose a color you don’t agree with?

It’s still fine, you can beat every single fight with:

Unholy Val’kyr
Foulfeather
Optional any pet (I use Baa’l)

Except for that 1 crab that uses shell, swap foulfeather for iron starlette

I agree. And I do have lots of pets, so they are trivial for me. It is disproportionate. But it’s not important. It saves you - maybe a day? two? - on the overall grind, but you can also make rep up on other ways.

Archaeology and Battle Pets are the two nearly perfectly integrated minigames. They give a little XP and gold while levelling, about as much as questing, and at max level, they are entirely optional. I don’t like it when Blizzard puts progress in them behind PvE or PvP, or when they put progress in PvE or PvP behind them. I don’t like the Honor 400 pets, and I don’t like this. But it’s not a big deal.

I think i did 2~3 pet battles in total for both zones combined. And i’m already flying. You can still do it quite fast.

That’s your opinion. Mine is different. Agree to disagree.

But I’m glad to hear that you too think the Pet Battle World Quests are god damn awful. We agree on that at least.

The rarities describe the stats. The colors are just copy/paste of the item rarity colors, so everyone understands that orange > purple > blue > green > white.
The Pets use the same design to attribute its stats. Orange is the highest stat allocation. Blizzard wouldn’t have changed an entire system by choosing a lower stat allocation and giving the snail a purple border.

orange > purple > blue > green > white > grey. Just saying
In pet battles there is no purple pets and there is no reason to change that. Some orange pets are easier than other orange pets just like some mythic bosses are harder than other mythic bosses.

I’ll just end this here. Can’t argue with someone that puts words in my mouth and keeps comically misusing my points. I’ll just go fly a few rounds around Nazjatar.

You’ll have to teach me too beacuse I have no clue what I am doing with the pets I have and I honestly think they are all just a little bit too crap to get me through the Nazj/Mech Boss Pets!

Didn’t know we were having an argument. I was QQing about the Pet Battle World Quests in a thread called “Hate thread against pet battle”. Seemed appropriate.
You just added some fuel to the fire as far as I’m concerned. :fire:

yeah. i dont like pet battles so i wont do them and although i really cant wait to fly i d rather wait an additional x amount of time than subject myself to them.

its just another thing on my “blizzard is so out of touch and ideas” - list that really makes me grind my teeth. like you said, the reward to effort is just unbelievably disproportionate.
