Not rly.
When we are talking about the average level player in WoW.
All 3 speccs of rogue / unholy DK / enhancement and elemental shamans / arcane mages
Would all be considered too complex, u really ocerestimate the average players skill level if you think ur regular joe could play any of the above speccs and in be able to play it to any level of efficency without alot of practice
I frankly donât care.
Those people are likely not playing at a level where this matters anyway.
Well, the key bindinds from my left side, I have there 24 key bindinds that are important combat spells and are put in my main action bars 1 and 2
in my action bar 3, 4 and 5 I put such as Astral recall
So I click abilities from action bar 3,4 and 5 by mouse
the main ones by keyboard
You donât have 24 rotational spells, youâre just lying.
Blade of justice, judgement, hammer of wrath, divine storm, templarâs verdict, Crusader strike, wake of ashes and if you have the auto attack talent, not even that. Then you have cds. But cds are like 1 press every 1 or 2 minutes, hardly bloat.
The main abilities, those that you always use and press the most are basically 4/5.
I think itâs quite normal to be overwhelmed at first in a game that has been existing for years. When I tried FF14 I was in a constant state of confusion for a bit. You learn stuff, it becomes normal, you learn some more, that becomes normal, and before you know it you start to get a grasp on the game.
Later on I talked with someone from FF14 who was trying WoW and she had the exact same experience. I think most new players wonât be raiding Mythic, or doing M+ 25 within two weeks. The extra layers of difficulty will hit someone once they naturally start to progress at max level, if they want to head that way.
Not necessarily. But every game developer SHOULD consider that their game is the first game a new player might ever play (of a genre). So for a person who never played any MMORPG or even any game at all, the game will be a huge pain to learn at first. Especially so with lack of guidance.
What imo a new player needs as class tutorial is:
Alongside that, WoW HEAVILY needs an UI indication rework for what targets are stun-able and what arenât. I myself find myself often using CC abilities only to see a small âImmuneâ on the character frame (which btw should also be displayed as a pop-up text on the target itself like in every other MMO)
Becouse millions of addons guides and all, blizz tuned this game for addons and 0,1.
If blizz tuned game no addons and removed all that, alot of more player incs kinds simple.
Blizz has been focusing on that 0,1% for years now itâs time a change of staff if wow wanna continue to grow.
And if they do that wanna bet that the community is complaining its too easy.
explain how am i lying?
here´s my keybinds from main action bars
Action bar 2: Q E R F X Z T G F1 F2 F3 F4
Action bar 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Y C V N H F5
From Destro warlock I have:
1- Immolate Q - Mortal Coil
2- incinerate E - Drain life
3 - conflagrate R Infernal (Major potency CDs)
4 - shadowfury F Chaos bolt
5 - havoc X - Unending resolve
6- Curse of exhaustion Z - Devour Magic (Dispell magic)
Y - Channel demonfire T - Demonic circle teleport
C- rain of fire G - burning rush
V - soulburn F1 - (Interrupt)
N- demonic gateway F2 - Fear
H- (racial ability) F3 - health funnel
F5 demonic circle summon F4 - dark pact
Because many of the abilities you listed are not core rotational skills.
They are either mobility, utility, or defensives, and only a few are for damage.
Youâre not supposed to use those other abilities on cd, youâre supposed to use them when you need to.
Don´t guide me, I am fine from what I am using the spells
My rotations are almost my own from enhancement and many others
Then calling it a desing flaw is hardly true or âfairâ
What are you even talking about?
My rotations are almost my own? There is no such thing, either your rotation is correct or it isnât.
And considering what you said before, and that youâre complaining about complexity, id wager that it isnât.
There will always be those Dark Souls lovers complaining games are too easy.
Why would they complain even such as âRaids are too easyâ or âClass Design was too easy in Legionâ ?
Letâs be real, there will always be complainers. And it doesnât matter. What matters is that the majority players and the new players enjoy the game, because those keep the game alive in the long run.
thats the problem though .
people on forum mistake who "average " wow player is.
they think that average players are those who run +20s
and reality is your" average " player is runing hc dungeons and lfr. and tell me that rotations are to complicated for that.
thats a pretty unfortunate choice of game with how few buttons dark souls require you to use compared to wow âŚ
I have been posting forums since 2017, saw less complaints than what we have today
I remember made my first posts with âVrykul and Ogre playable raceâ
All of my bnet friends donât know what is WoW forum, even when I told them for the first time
and any friend of mine said âNah, I donât want to see forum, itâs wasting timeâ
EDIT: And for new players it isnât easy to explore WoW forum, itâs so hard
If u could read it always said where to do what , u just had to read . Usualy it said stuff like " go north of this cavern there u can find boars " etc âŚ
Or u asked in chat for help from someone else that figured it out.
Rotation or binds arent realy complex imho , if u arent completly new to mmo .
What is rather confusing is wow itself , i came back after s1 on different char, all of sudden i had 4739 qieusts to do, acces 4 different crests which i had no idea what for they are and whatnot âŚ
