It’s not. I wish it was like islands and warfronts. I could skip islands and get AP elsewhere. I could skip warfronts and get the gear/rep/commendations elsewhere. If I skip Torghast, I can’t get ash and those extra companions anywhere else.

For me, the only good part of Torghast is that, it is flexible and optional.
You can do it solo or in group at whenever you want to. There is no hassle to PuG or whatever. And Players don’t need to do it if they don’t care about legendaries.
It is certainly better than BFA visions.
BUT, its current form is rather time-consuming. Even as a flexible content, you need to reserve at least 30-60 mins to do it.
And it is NOT really optional either, because most players would like to increase power via legendaries. So it is more or less a weekly chore in the end.
But those are not the main reason why I think it is boring. I truly think the content itself is boring, endless killing of similar floors and mobs.
I don’t see amazing fun in it. But that is just my personal opinion.

Overall it’s fun but it’s not fun that’s mandatory weekly thing to unlock your legendaries. As someone who has 3 chars at the moment I feel exhausted after clearing it on 3 chars. If it was optional content where I can get a piece of gear on my main. Or (I’m dreaming) account wide thing then it would be great. Because Torghast itself is fun. The role that it plays in the game makes it garbage. Same went to vision. Blizzard has to stop forcing progression behind every piece of content. It’s not working.
Yes Torghast is really fun place.I am enjoying it a lot.I am having great time doing it solo.
The imbalance is what’s biting me.
I think my main is somewhere in the middle; I was getting through L3 last week, but it was a nail biter on both bosses. Meanwhile we have other classes (rogues) swearing it’s not possible at all, vs hunters who say they can do it naked. And it’s just a bit… isn’t it time for a balance patch now?
Really? Not… not time for a balance patch… on week 3… for a core game feature? That some players don’t feel is viable?
No?
Anyway, I haven’t gone for the latest wings/layers yet, and I’m kind of… I don’t really want to, tbqh. The last ones were so close, and despite raids and M+, I haven’t managed to upgrade a single piece of gear, and I can absolutely sense some impending failures.
It’s demoralising. And no, it’s not fun, because I’m busy with stuff IRL, and I really do not want to slog through 30-45 mins of Torghast and then fail and have to do it all over again from floor 1.
Be nice if it had some concept of checkpoints, so at least we could zip up to the 5th floor on the 2nd try. It is not floors 1-5 that are risky, it is the boss, I’d rather he not be gated behind a significant lump of time.

it is NOT optional. It is mandatory. Soul ash and thus legendries are MANDATORY as they are so powerful

That is the problem. It will be a weekly chore. And the content itself is not fun so far.
totally agree.

I “liked” Torghast until layer 5 , I will simply avoid it above layer 4. Maps are too big and everything just hurts way too much , purely painful. It takes like 45+ minutes to do layer 5 and I really dont find it that fun. Just the thought of going back to that place weekly especially on alts is just not something I want to do

I have only done layer 6 so far. I don’t know how high layers work.
Some people say streamers think it is fun because high layers have endless floors. That sounds even worse.
Current layer with 6 floors takes 30-60 mins to complete, which is already dull and boring.
If higher layers has 18 floors or even endless floors as some people claimed, it will be much worse, because we always start from floor 1 with 0 power, right? It will take so much more time than current 6 floor layers.
Yes, in the end, it would be fun when you reach last floors with insane power. But how much time does it take to clean all the lower floors with crappy powers to reach that? 3-4 hours? That is just horrible…

I’m even less interested now that you said the high layers have endless floors , not for me. Layer 4 every week it will be lol. I never complain about anything but Torghast just isnt fun content at this point and is extremely boring , it was fun for a bit but it’s kind of over now

It would be fun with more interesting and/or random rewards, but now it’s like a long, boring chore for some… soulthingy. And it’s much worse, if you wanna play with alts, like me.

The Soul Ash one is mindnumbingly boring. Waiting for the 18 floor version to actually have fun.
I play all classes every expansion to max level so I can feel you. It’ll be a pain and extremely boring
If 6-floor layer is already so dull and long, I seriously don’t know how 18-floor layer works.
We always start from floor 1 with 0 power right? So we need to go through all the lower floors with crappy powers to reach those higher floors with fun powers.
If current 6-floor takes 1 hour to complete, I don’t even want to imagine how long we need to complete a 18-floor layer…
Ehm 1h?I mean its following a steady ilvl curve as the expansion is unlocking one bit by bit.(renown,legos,gear)
Every floor is supposed to be a different theme, and you’re keeping your powers in between, so you can actually have fun playing with them, rather then losing them before you got something nice.
