TitanForging was it really bad?

Yes.

I still haven’t been able to replace a trinket for prot on my paladin that I got last season because it titanforged.

TF was amazing system .

wait till early january - once people will be bis myhic + geared on their 12 alts and whining about having nothing to do in game.

im fully expecting first threads like this to happen in late november - and in full force in january

gearing up in SL is simple - you go in mythic + get bis in 4-5 days - have nothing to do till end of patch - level up N- alt - gear up in mythic + - be done - level up N+1 alts and so on and so on .

will get boring extremly fast :slight_smile:

will be hillarious to read those topics

Can’t speak for everyone, but for me personally it wasn’t boring before Titanforging appeared, so based on that I see no reason why it should suddenly become boring after Titanforging disappears.

Ye sure, i keep having nightmares about Unstable ArcanoCrystal in legion.

Nah it wasnt bad, they just had to put a limit on it, like max upgrade 3 times (+15 i lvl).

Oh poor you, want some tissues?

If they put an upgrading system, it should be like Valor Point in last WoD patch, not an RNG Fiesta.

this is exactly why i say most of the arguments against TF are ego based because people are SELFISH and petty

why not just be happy for your friend or anyone else getting a good grade based on luck, and you got yours from hard work

instead youre crying about how it isnt fair :joy: :joy:

its not about the reward solely

its the effort/reward ratio, if one guy has to work actively for something the other guy just gets it magically with the snap of a finger and the wave of a wand that isnt fair is it?

I actually always asked for an option to turn it off for myself. It was totally destroying my own gear progression. And it even went over to influencing the next tier.

“oh noes the gear im receiving totally by chance and very rarely is TOO GOOD?”

Yes, it is not fun progressing normal, getting higher gear than heroic. Then you progress heroic and that loot is lower than the normal gear.

Then you get heroic on farm, getting 4 pieces that are 5 ilvl lower than heroic NEXT tier, where you want to progress normal again.

Etc.
How is this good and fun?

I do.

Or you think doing a low key in season 3 warrants a 455 trinket that I haven’t replaced yet on my paladin for my prot set? I was just like “just gonna go faceroll this instance cuz i’m bored”, then I get a 455 trinket from it, better than anything else I got that season and I still, at the end of next season, haven’t gotten any drop to replace it.

Is just an extra RNG system that is not needed, game was fine way before TF.

As i said before if we have to make gear upgradable, it should be something to work for, not RNG bs like unpacking trinkets or killing Jim and not finding a decent ArcanoCrystal while others were around with 970 version of it.

Screw Tf

Titan/Warforging was so balanced that im totally not still using my Trinket from last raid and people totally havent done EP weekly for a chance of the trinket if they didnt alread get it TF/WF no no never cough cough

Ye its totally not like titanforging procced left and right at the very end. Also as people said back then: WF can be tolerated. TF cant be. Its that simple.

If you dont care about gear then whats the difference for you with or without tf?

Very rarely? I had something like 8 455 pieces on chars by the start of this season.

thats your problem right there then, personally never cared for what other people got, did or “earned”

doing old and getting a rare upgrade made it worth doing, sounds good to me

lucky me getting that trinket then

i do care, and it was never an issue

next thing youre gonna tell me is you barely played too :sleeping:

My paladin had something like 30 runs over the whole season 3. It had 4 455 pieces at the end. That’s not really “very rarely”.

Was not ideal but better than corruptions.
At least initially, where there was no way of targetting those.
Sure LFR player could sometimes get a really strong item, vastly above the content he’s doing. But that was rare and raiding harder content meant better gear on average anyway. And faster good gear too.

Then corruption came and you could get a 420 item with TD (which doesn’t even scale off ilvl but HP), in result that 420 was better than 475 without a corruption. Now that was silly. It’s like titanforging on steroids, equivalent to being able to proc 100 ilvl above mythic raiding for just about anyone.

And then targetted corruptions came which resemble glorified and overpowered gear enchants that have a grind attached to them.

Overall, im satisfied with the late 8.3 version of this system, but this was not a good system to begin with.

It was fine for the most part. Just elitists being angry or jealous about it basically.
And Blizzard actually listened to them… Sad days.
