This season M+ in short:
The most hated affix, “Thundering”, added in 4 different variation to rotate solely each week and doesn’t have beneficial effect over +12 dungeons and only doing Mythic raid you are to be best of doing any other content.
People complained about affixes because they had preferences which was liked and which was less likeable, which means that SOMETHING WAS ENJOYABLE.
Now Blizzard removed the enjoyment and dungeons are boring to push as they have no variation for each week.
Also M+ is not rewarding regarding to the difficulty it has to offer, which isn’t a problem until some other content is superior for the effort you are to bring to the other, where doing only Mythic raid enables being far better progress on M+ even at end of season compared to someone who has done solely M+.
Sure people won’t complain anymore about the affixes and start complaining about something more basic because there aren’t any affixes to complain about and Blizzard most likely calls it “success”.
PS. No, people won’t raid more, raid is community content for casual chit chatting and flexing of work investment. Those who actually enjoy it are already doing it at normal/heroic level.
affixes are finally not frustrating, you benefit by playing well and punished by playing worse, and you complain? i will refrain from getting my account suspended, pls get permanently suspended from the forum
I kinda like these kill/curse affixes. Better than Sanguin oder Bolstering, lol.
I also like that we finally got rid of push/alt weeks. Having the same affixes benefits the ability to push key. Consistency is a good thing at that level imo.
Yes, this is incredibly dumb imo. They should at least scale your gear down to heroic ilvl in M+ so myth track gear doesn’t matter. Or just not make the ilvl gap between hero and myth this big (like in DF).
I’m still seeing M+ runs very much active as they’ve always been.
The whole “OMG IT’S DEAD!!” hysteria comes & goes with any form of content, even repeated content from previous seasons, expansions, games, times of the month, whatever you have in your fridge.
But this is YOUR personal opinion on what YOU think the game is having a problem with. I would say there is a small vocal minority, who will stand up and shout, until they’re blue in the face to get their opinions heard about what is broken/bugged/too difficult etc.
However, the thing is, the use of said content always drops over time, until the next season or the next piece of content is provided.
Just find something else to do, if you really do not like something within the game. This is the beauty of gaming… you’re not forced into playing it, if you don’t like it. There are thousands of other titles on the market, both still active and older titles, which are no longer supported, but still work and have a community base behind it.
Just chill, relax and just do what you can, with what time you have, with what skills you have. Because at the end of the day, everything is just going around in the great circle of … things!
Ah yes, I too declare activities “dead” based solely on my personal enjoyment of them, and disregard the fact that they’re being actively engaged in as they always have, because my feelings are objective facts.
I was rank 1 for few months in DF S2 on my class/spec until I got to point there was literally 0 groups to play with to go higher (rank 1 problems which I discard from this opinion).
Yes the affix changes might be personal but overall people doesn’t like to chew same gum after the taste is gone and some even faster if the flavor is garbage, people who do is the actual minority.
When you watch statistics there are only few players who do beyond 10s. There is literally max 10 at prime time that is +11. ONLY 10!
This is that “something else” which I hype for playing other games for a while. If you mean inside WoW, raiding isn’t content for me I don’t like herding, drama, enduring of people’s personal issues and reasons why they can’t be friendly to others for reasons they have caused to themselves to hate themselves.
PvP is fun but I rather play Apex, Deadlock or Dota2 in that sense.
I skipped S3 due’ so and S4 for as it was the same I played S1 and S2. So I should skip a whole expansion in hope the company can do something correctly on something they did correctly for last 6 years + 2 years of degenerating progress?
I don’t like a game (or part of game) that I’ve hyped for each season to go into worth of uninstall.
