Topic. I barely played during SL and practically not at all during DF. Returned a few days ago in preparation of TWW. Catching up on old content, decided to run some Torghast.
My initial thoughts were that it’s a cool place, much more darker in theme than wow generally is (and I want that) but that changed quickly, as it is the most unimaginably boring slog to do. Even at lvl 70, with ilvl 481, it’s so slow and repetitive and boring words cannot even begin to describe. I can’t even imagine doing this back when it was hard. JFC.
Not only that, but now currently, on floor 16 of “Twisting Corridors: Layer 6” the game bugged out completely. I’m at the portal to go to the next floor, but I cant enter it because the game tells me I need to defeat the guardian or whatever. But he isnt there?? I’ve tried dying (you die after about a minute anyway because of the dot you have…) and he still doesnt spawn. I’ve tried glitching through the portal but that doestn work either. Am I supposed to restart this , and spend another 45 minutes to get here? Absolutely unacceptable. I demand blizzard immediately provide me the achievement for layer 6, and while add it, add the rest because i can already figure it out; more boring repetitive chore to slog through.
I understand more and more why people hated SL. This is the worst.
Yeah I realize i’m about 4 years late. But still, what can I do about this bug? Someone said relog, someone said dying. I’ve tried both. Am I seriously forced to restart the entire because of this? It’s going to take me an hour to clear this.
I’m playing while working remotely btw, and my hourly rate is 190€ so I guess I can invoice Microsoft for this?
So anyway, there’s no fix? I’m lying here dead now and the guard or whatever isnt spawning. I’ve tried restarting the game. There’s no way I can start from floor 16 if I leave right? This cannot be real?
I’m not one-shotting anything, in fact on these last ones it started getting hard and I came close to dying a few times. Go ahead and call me a noob, that’s fine. I think the reason it bugged out was because I used feign death (so as not to actually die lol) so yeah, if I downgrade my gear I wouldnt make it tbh, or i’d have to clear the floors to get all buffs and then it would take 10 hrs to do one “layer”
If you cant even spend 45min to an hour to do it again then this game is nothing for you!
This is a time based game, most people encountered bugs or were forced to do things again and this is fine, if you really want the rewards from it, do it again.
But my statement still stands. Torgast was designed for SL. And bosses/encounters were designed to interact with classes as they were in SL. Not modern iterations of them.
I dont play hunter. But it would not surprise me that Feign death did not take you out of combat in SL but it does in DF now. And hence, bugs all the content of SL.
And because nobody cares about old content then you find yourself in those situations.
It is something you have to accept as a reality if you do old content. And dont be surprised, its also true for all other games with old content in them.
Your post is “give me what I want without putting much effort in it” instead of being happy that it takes you a 10th of the time we needed for it in SL.
You dont get wow. WoW is a game where reward are granted for spending a ton of time doing things. And that is also true if you do old content. And in many cases, its even worse. Like Torgast.
For example : transmogs. Want transmogs ? Well its easier to simply do the content when its recent. If you go when its not, be prepared to farm things 10000 times.
Looking at the achievements, there’s at 11 different versions x 8-12 layers x 14-19 floors x 25-60 min, is that little time for you? That’s a lot of billable hours!
Looks like you have an unhealthy obsession with money.
But yea, imagine the time I and many others spended for all this in SL…I even helped friends through it multiple times, were I complaining?
No, because I understood what the game is about.
