Torghast
- There will be updates to the Torghast system in the next stage of the PTR update.
- The short team fixes of nerfing Torghast was to address the frustrations of the Torghast rewards system, but in doing so the content became less engaging.
- The death counter in Torghast is gone in Patchj 9.1.
- Torghast will return to being more challenging in 9.1, but you will always get your soul ash upon completion regardless of performance. You will never leave without feeling rewarded.
- There are new UI elements for Torghast in 9.1. You will have a “hot streak” rating bar that improves your score by playing well.
- There will be a Torghast “talent tree” similar to Visions from BFA. You will gain tower knowledge to spend on perks and upgrades to improve your runs.
- The rating system will be on a 1-5 gem system. You need 4 gems to make it to the next floor. This can be done by being quick, or by being slower and efficient. This is not a speed run system.
- No plans to add gear drops to Torghast. There are plenty of gear reward options in the game already.
- They are adding more modifiers to the runs and powers. These will be both affixes and “blessings” which give positive benefits.
Are you going to run torghast more happily now?
Sounds like meaningless content to me. But whatever, people who like it will enjoy it more I hope.
No rewards == bad IMO. Add mounts, pets, mogs and gold please. And have Ash and super-duper-ash (whatever the new ash is called) drop from other activities.

How dense do you have to be to think anything they’re planning to do with Torghast is good? It’s going to be worse than it already is. You either speed run Torghast or spend an hour clearing the entire layer because that’s the only way to unlock the new one.
9.1 is going to be the worst content patch this game has ever seen. There’s no coming back. All we have left is classic tbc and let’s hope they don’t screw this up as well.

This is literally the only reason why I would even imagine wanting to do Torghast in the first place.
I am not interested in the HP sponge 1 mechanic mobs “challenge”.
I guess this will do ok for solo casuals though.

Yeah was disappointed on this statement as well. But without any rewards then soul ash it will not get better. Don’t know why they are adding those extra mechanics if nothing on the reward changes

I like Torghast, but it would be nice to get gear drops. Not everyone likes group content and Torghast is a way of challenging how good a solo player is and so should give the occasional gear reward.

The one thing they should do is add more rewards to it. Didn’t hear much about that.
And frankly on Anime… It should be rewarded from ANY activity.
I don’t think gear progression is needed from Torghast but transmogs and nonsense like that: yes.

I mean, If they are talking about soul ash as reward, then i guess those two statements are in direct contradiction of each other.
Unless they will give you some blood coins from Timeless isle as it would be literally more rewarding.

Such useless changes, unbelieveable. They should’ve just made it more like Mage Tower, as simple as that.
Blizzard can’t seem to understand that challanging = fun | tedious = not fun. Torghast is just tiresome. It’s not fun. The issue is not the rewards. It’s very boring. You are basically killing normal mobs and some elits and that’s it.
Instead it should’ve been 10 floors, each floor you kill just 1 lite, 5th and 10th floor with extra strong elites.

No, cause it’s still “do it every week or fall behind” SYSTEM.

doesn’t matter if the gameplay is still trash. he said there wont be new powers and builds. just more layers and new spul ash to farm. every run is still a hard reset and feels always the same.
what a waste of resource

so you rather HAVE to run something because there are rewards that you MUST (want) have. then something you can just hop in for the fun of it? rather not feel presured into something, becuase then it will feel like a chore.
Yes I agree, remove all soul ash and mega soul ash from it.
…
whoops.
Soul ash ONLY drops from there already. I don’t think 5 weeks per legendary is too optional.
so what exactly is going to be rewards for completing higher layers? because im yet to see anything on wowhead in terms of new torghast rewards
the reward is the soul ash. Ion said it. They just to try to make you feel more comfortable with a new talent tree blablabla.
Torghast was the greatest feature for solo players and for those who loved brawlers guild/ mage tower when announced. But it was reduced to this garbage.
9.1 is a flop not even arrived yet

if soul ash is the only reward this revamp is completely pointless, they could atleast put some unused transmog appearances as rewards or something…
certainly not, torghast will still be trash but now it’ll be trash on a timer, even worse, wont step a foot in it, i’d rather be behind in legendary upgrades

This. We know blizzard has a ton of unused mog, mounts, pets and toys as shown with the IE. I don’t know why they can’t apply the same method here where it can either just drop of random mobs or at the end you get a chest with loot equal to the rating you got from Torghast where a higher rating equals more cosmetics and higher chance for the rare stuff.
