Mercenary Camps Near Dungeons

[Mewithoutyou-ragnaros]

You already have channels of getting gear good enough for normal Mythic or lower M+ keys via ungrouped content or LFR - in any case, content that you can automatically join and get said gear, without other players having to judge your gear or invite you to their group.

My main problem with LFG/LFR is that it doesn’t feel like an RPG. It feels very… “technical” and is devoid of any lore. I would prefer to travel to the entrance of a dungeon on foot, without all those abrupt teleports. I actually still read quest text when leveling and I play on the Argent Dawn RP server, where people actually care a bit about the lore and the RPG side of things.

Those mercenary camps would also feel like an RPG

O yeah, that would increase RPG-ness, i agree.

First, this is being implemented and will be live in 10 days (Jan 17) for normal dungeons

Second, you cannot get rid of LRF for any king of content that “matters”, that is to say - end-game content. You can’t expect NPCs to play for you and get you the best rewards.

But for very casual content, you will have it

wanna bet that after its get released there will always be some people who make topics about the bots also needing to go to m+ and riaidng so they dont have to deal with people at all

That’s the dream

My MAIN idea is that this dungeon bot system should allow you to gear up for M/M+ solo.

I understand. My guess is, if it is well received, they may expand it to heroic, and perhaps Mythic 0. But I can’t really picture them adding it for M+, at least not for the foreseeable future.

I think it DOES only apply to Normal and HC

[Röcc-draenor]

Atleast normal, not sure if HC

[Röcc-draenor]

Appears it will only be normal in the beginning

Did the OP completely miss what 10.2.5 will be introducing along with TWW henceforth?

If you want to tank, you would hire 3x DPS and a healer, etc

You know, what’s the problem?

I would do exactly this. And reading all the posts about being forced to rush, I guess most other tanks would. Leading to an even bigger tank shortage.

@Kyrøs-argent-dawn

Bots… You can inflate their HP/defense to compensate but they still can and will get hit by oneshot mechanics.

The solution is similar to Wrath’s pet talent, which reduces such damage by a casual 90%.

I assume that using this mode, the player wants to focus on themselves. Some random damage is needed so that there is stuff to do as a healer (and avoid it in other roles). GW2 story mode (quests and dungeons) are good examples, fights can fail but it’s not about singular actions like that.
