Firstly the lack of mount is not really a blocker. Temporary mounts are available (quite commonly too) plus there are Maw mounts in the game.
Secondly, yes the wandering mobs are a pain, but we’re a fortnight into the expansion. How much of a pain do you think they’ll be when you’re wearing raid tier 2 level gear?
The Jailer’s Eye mechanic is meant to make the zone a little more threatening and force you to prioritise what you want to achieve there (rather than just farm stuff all day), something I think it achieves quite well.
Most of the current ‘difficulties’ in the Maw are basically temporary, and there’s nothing wrong with some content being difficult / gated at the start of an expansion.
Im not going here unless i got callings here …i dont want to socket gear i will throw away in a few days. So jailer can keep these 30 secondary stats from sockets and im happy.
Not available yet. The patrols are 25k hp mobs that take longer to kill than the time it saves you with the mount.
The eye of the jailer dies incredibly fast, often <2 minutes. I was cleaning up the last trash that was agroing me (and other people), was literally like 3 or 4 mobs. But the time they were dead, the eye of the jailer was dead. Luckily I had a dot on him. Initially I thought it despawned, until I saw the corpse.
Try playing elemental shaman. 4 seconds is 2 casts and it’ll be ~6k damage. My ilvl is around 182, and just casting lava burst + flame shock is already ~3 seconds, and that’s the opener. If lucky this hits for about 4.5k~5k damage.
So idk where you get your 4-5 seconds from, but I want it. Also don’t forget that in ghostwolf mode I run at 150% run speed, so even if my fights were only 12 seconds, the mount feels like a waste.
Already in 180 gear it has lost its edge, once we have raid gear all menace from the area will be lost, which is ashame. I like the Maw, it is supposed to be hellish and is.
I’ve done the maw every single day, though I missed out on 2 days of Perdition Hold, and I have not gotten to that point yet, so I’m assuming that the vast majority has no access to this either. It also seems to be that the drop is a chance, so you can probably kill it 100 times and still not get it.
It’s a poor solution for something we already have: our own mounts. If hunters can summon pets, we can summon mounts.
Doesn’t matter if it isn’t there for most players yet. It’s there for when they either get to the Beast Hunts (which is a weekly loot chance only, so even worse i guess) or Twisting Corrirdors is unlocked and people can farm the mount from there instead. Either way, people can wait if mounting is the biggest issue, or simply suck it up and farm.
Ooooor (hear me out), blizzard just enables mounting in the maw, because it’s a dumb design to not be able to mount, especially if you’re sitting nice and comfortably in your GMOD.
Immersive… while druids rush by in travel form, with 20 players around you constantly killing all mobs and considering yourself lucky to tag a mob before it dies so you can complete your daily…
Immersion is long gone the moment I saw other players around me all carrying the same “maw walker” title.
Immersion is not 1 class being as fast as others when mounted when they can’t mount because of … reasons?
Every single day it’s so crowded with players that it feels more like a carnival than a hellish place.
Okay so mounts ruin your immersion, but literally being between dozens of other players while you’re supposed to be the only maw walker, isn’t ruining your immersion?
