torghast is not fun

[Will]

What an absolute shocker that not all forms of content interest every player

[TheLucky1]

It's like a roguelike light and it really makes me want to try and discover abilities on my alts.

Torghast is awesome!

[Cyanu]

well i liked it

[Zka]

Torghast was the best part of the expansion so far. It could be very boring in a few resets, but I'm not sure - if they keep adding challenges, then it could be OK.

How worried should I be that after two runs I am already sick of it? I find the rest of the expansion fun do far, love the dungeons. Do I really need to go in there for anything but legendary stuff?

not surprised. people seem to hate everything these days. get your lego mats once a week and be done with it then. then you can post here about how there isnt anything to do.

[schwarzkopf]

It is probably fun ... just far too hard for some classes to solo as far as I can see.

[Gaidax]

It's better islands as I see it, but for me it's just a thing I have to do each week, that all.

If I could not do it, like islands - I probably would not.

[Maruka]

Why would people think it would ever be fun outside a few tries ? I said that a year ago. COlor me surprised.

[Stricks]

It's not supposed to be fun. WoW in general isn't designed to be fun. It's designed to string you along with 'fun' dangling like a carrot on a stick. Everything is a grind. Everything is time-gated.

That is a seriously extreme take and cannot be taken seriously because of its extremity.

I think it's as interesting as you make it. You can come up with some pretty interesting builds using the powers in there. For example, as priest you can buff the hell out of mind blast with different powers with one being that your shadow mend healing is added to a buffer and added onto your next mind blast. You can heal the hell outta' yourself and one-shot enemies with it. I'm sure it's capped within reason, but it still makes it fun.

It is what you make it.

[LauraHydra1]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it either. There's only about five or six different types of enemy on each level, so the gameplay gets repetitive really quickly. Maybe I'm just a filthy noob casual, but I take too long to get anywhere compared to the payout. Admittedly, that'll get better with better gear later in the expansion, it's just a bit frustrating right now.

[Aucald]

I think Torghast is great fun, myself. The Anima powers definitely make me re-evaluate and change up my playstyle depending on the buffs received - just this morning I had fun encounter in the Upper Reaches where the use of an anima power that made my ghoul have a reduced cooldown and the sacrifice ability have no CD was the key to victory. The runs are variable and the shifting abilities and traps make each run unique and often death-defying. My only complaint about Torghast is that every run takes a goodly amount of time, at least for me, as I explore every nook and cranny and generally take my time with pulls to limit deaths. Might just be due to my current low iLvl comparatively, but even still I'd say Torghast is 4/5 content.

[Algorath]

I disagree.

Different folks for different strokes.

[Leyre]

I like it, minus the stupid bugged eyed that instead of casting his laser around you does it inside of you

[Mardux]

Never was.


People hype up these brain dead gacha mechanics to justify the expansion.

It feels very very much like BFA but with a few fixes.


We need a expac where the focus is gameplay period. Pure gameplay. Not side stuff. They need to tone down the hero jesus main character.
It's not even remotely fun to be the savior of everything every single time.

I want to feel like the quests match the gameplay. If they spend 2 hours hyping up a big baddie. He should need a few people and some gameplay to kill.
It's still a mmo but shadowlands feels like a singleplayer game. The gameplay is so far disconnected from the world that it's almost laughable as you dredge from quest to quest only being driven by story or the good views. It's a shame because the music and visuals are so amazing it could have been one of the most immersive expansions yet.

And BFA was just like legion, but with less casino mechanics to kick us in the face for playing at our preferred speed.

[Gestopft]

I haven't gotten there yet on live, but I had a blast with Torghast on Beta.

Once I'm trying to craft legendaries for all 12 classes, I might well get sick of it, but I really enjoyed it on the few classes I tried it on.

[Mardux]

Then the answer is: OP should be worried.

Though "I did two runs and am already sick of it" doesn't much help a discussion. What is anyone gonna do? Find arguments to convince OP that Thorghast is fun, when OP experienced it and it clearly isn't fun to him? AND we are not allowed to look to added elements in the future (according to you)?

Well...guess we can close the thread now.

Its not even that Torg isn't fun to OP. OP decided that no one else gets to enjoy torghast because they don't enjoy it. All you have to do is look at the statement that is the title to see its not even remotely framed as an opinion.

Because you don't control how others are allowed to feel about things?

Here's something that will most likely surprise you: you don't and people are allowed to enjoy certain activities even if you need those activities as an excuse to hate on other players or Developers.

[Kauko]

Haha, welcome to the party... You have to understand one thing, the most vocal part of our community wants this. So it doesn't matter if it is fun for you or for me, or for anyone else that wants interesting and fun game play. Only thing that is important is that they like it... that they can grind their asses of. And the wast majority of streamers and youtubers crave for this content. And their follower also. Just go and look at some of them, how they were hyping it up... its like they won a jackpot.

[Aradur]

Just love it. Sucks to be a negative Nancy is guess.

[wombinator04]

Yeah I fucking hate Torghast, not a fan of this type of content. Doing it solo is pure torture and a waste of time.
I'd be fine with it existing if it were optional content, but it is REQUIRED.

I'd rather do POTD(Palace of the Dead) in FFXIV than this, and POTD is terrible.
