There’s nothing wrong with wanting more of a level playing field for all in PVP. The game inherently rewards those with more time to put in. From someone with limited time to play the game, it can be frustrating. The gear grind is an unnecessary roadblock for the most part. The only thing it does, is prevent me from enjoying certain aspects of the game. It would be nice to enjoy lots of different characters in full gear 'tis all, I had a taste of the before the season started, and now it’s gone. Such a shame.
This is obviously a very sensitive subject, so much hostility. I guess some people really don’t like others highlighting how much time they are able to put into the game.
I really dont care play gamemode where people like u can come from 0cr to gain +300 free for just showing up and I have to carry u 6/6 just to gain few points instead of going -150 for winning 5/6 cos there is some 0cr idiot like u because of real problems affecting the game right now
Problem is not if random idiot has brains or will power to farm his honor gear, that is the least of any problems in df right now
Also when u trying flirt with me with these word choises of urs like u wanting to give me a happy ending, I am near middle-aged 185cm 90kg man with beard very far to be mistaken for little girl or feminine, so unless u are gay which I am not I would suggest u stop flirting with me like on the awkward moments when ure trying speak to some local girls u cringely try to pick on by calling them “precious” or maybe ure into sweet talking to middle-aged men I do not know
Go get ur honor gear “sweetie” like everyone else and stop making a stupid post about it or uninstall and go play tetris
Most people like the grind while the gain of power is pretty much irrelevant, especially for casuals. Most casuals have not the knowledge of the game required to be on equal level even if they would have 30 ilvls more.
You can enjoy the game just like everyone else. All you want is full gear for free. Grow up. The power level difference is irrelevant, especially in casual content.
What? I’ve got 5 classes at 70. All 5 had the 12k honour required to get the full set upon ding. Upgrading the gear only works for war mode, not bgs so there is no need to upgrade if you don’t do world pvp.
As for conquest gear, as their is a cap on how much you can get each week / total over the weeks, there is only 1 piece worth getting now, be it legs, head or chest depending on your desire.
If you think this is a grind, maybe MMOs arent for you?
That is true and it’s not gonna change in any expansion. Not because of gear though, but skill acquired through playing more. DF gearing is finally in a good spot. It’s really not something to complain about.
I can dream can’t I. I really think WoW could benefit from a system closer to GW2. Now that, is a casual friendly game. I mean, they ripped off dragon riding it really wouldn’t hurt to pinch a few more of the systems that make GW2 great.
There’s also plenty to complain about, queue times, tuning, losing all your rating because someone leaves… This all impacts your ability to get gear in the first place, just more annoying road blocks. Let’s see how things turn out in the new year.
Yeah well how much time do you spend playing the game in a week ? I would tend to argue that there is still much grinding involved.
Admittedly though I also feel frustrated because of the very fast dps and Rshaman being quite weak in this meta, so maybe that’s what makes the game feel tedious for me, and maybe not the grinding, which is indeed less pervasive than in SL.
Gearimg as maximum casual now as never been. Whats problem? As casual Im very happy. Also solo shuffle have much less ques when your rating is higher than 1000. I dont know why but when I got 1000 after few games then I even sometimes got instant ques. So It took me 1 evening to got elite set and fill full pvp vault and full conquest cap. And I never played higher than 1400-1600 before. Even casuals like me are now able to get elite set without good arena skill and etc. Even draenor was less friendly than df because you should go arena to get conquest gear (it took much longer on bgs and ashran). Wow never been so friendly for casuals. I just cant understand. We had legion, bfa and sl. Such unfriendly systems for literally everybody. We came to sl and ppl still complain that its not friendly. And seems that you forget what we had before. Even in friendly mop you got nearly 200 honor for win on bg if it wasnt first win of day and you needed more than twice more honor for each piece. There wasnt solo shuffle and difference between fresh lvluped and geared was even worse than now. And ppl say its alt-friendly. Now we have much more superior system for alts. Even leveling is few times faster than was in mop. And ppl complain that its unfriendly… I dont know what to say.
For both my characters (both alliance) I get all 340 gears within 1 day
The leveling takes way more time than gear grinding
Dont forget missions in Wintergrasp and weekly pvp quest
Ye and how is GW2 doing? Somehow all the casuals didn’t swap to it… maybe they should?
This is absolute bullcrap? You don’t lose rating when someone leaves.
The same way it turned out for decades. Some random people will talk how WoW is going to die soon, while it remains being either the top MMORPG or one of the top.
Before Riot doesn’t drop their MMO or AoC release, WoW will 100% remain the top PvP MMORPG.
If you spent some time comprehending some of the current challenges facing PVP, instead of acting edgy on the forums, you’d see that yes, you can lose rating if someone leaves solo shuffle. People have been complaining about it since the beta…which I was a part of. Where have you been living, in a cave? Read the recent blue post, it’s one of the things they’re fixing next week.
You must love WoW very dearly to defend it’s honour so aggressively when you don’t even know what’s going on in the game.
I don’t think WoW is going to die you numbskull, I meant lets see whether the changes they make turn out to be positive next year… You really need to work on your reading comprehension, especially if you want people to take you seriously.
Idk who complained but you don’t lose rating when someone leaves. I didn’t lose it in pre patch, I didn’t lose it now. Even if it happens on some ultra rare basis, you are complaining about it like that’s an actual thing. It’s not and 100% not holding you back from gearing.
Na and I’d drop it the moment a better game comes out but it’s just not the case. I love how people, like you, who are not even really playing the game, come on the forums and complain about it. It was already made ultra easy mode and you somehow still find some irrelevant stuff to complain about. It’s insane.
Since when was solo shuffle out in pre-patch?! And you talk about reading comprehension and irony… haha. Are you for real?? You really don’t know that if someone leaves a solo shuffle right now before the game finishes, you get no rating, even if you won 5 games… Oof, not shedding yourself in the best light here buddy.
? Since pre-patch, obviously? You could get rating and gear up your chars, which is how many people started their alts with 301 ilvl (pve) gear in df? Myself included.
You literally failed to read and responded based on this fail. Yes, I am for real.
Well, I did 12 games on 5 chars and I had around 10 leavers. Not once did I lose rating.
How am I supposed to know about this if that’s maybe a bug which occurs once in a billion time? As I said, you pretend like this is stopping someone from gearing because it happens often. This is simply not the case. Get over it. You want gear for free and this is not going to happen. Live with it.
Solo shuffle is RATED… RATED only started a few days ago with Season 1. The clue was in the word “rating”. Solo shuffle was not out in pre-patch… No rated content was. You’re thinking of Arena Skirmishes, but they offer no rating or conquest, only honor. I have no idea what planet you’re on, but it’s not this one.
Well I didn’t play pre-patch so I wasn’t aware, I was too busy playing beta up until the launch. Of which, rated solo shuffle was bugged, and still is in Dragonflight. Go read the latest blue post, they acknowledge the issue and are fixing it next week. People have been talking about it for months, I really don’t know how you’ve missed that. I’ve experienced the bug dozens of times when someone has left before the game ends, a few times today. No rating applies at all, regardless of what it says on the scoreboard.
As I said, I probably played more solo shuffles than you and this bug didn’t occur once. And even if it’s a thing, it’s not stopping you from gearing. Not only because it’s a simple fact but also because rating is irrelevant for your gear gains and on top of that, as you said yourself, they are fixing it. A casual player is even less affected by this.
whats the big issue with conquest gear? it will take a couple of hours every week to cap it for the remainder of the entire season, is that too much to ask for nowadays?
it really wouldn’t hurt to pinch a few more of the systems that make GW2 great.
