Mandatory Maw - the biggest SL problem now?

[Zyky]

I really hope they will do players a solid and:

a. Allow mounts there soon.
b. Make it tri-daily or maybe even weekly cap instead, so I am not forced to do this cancer daily. The shit is not even hard, it's just a massive waste of time.

Starting next week you can push to get the mount from Torghast that'll work in the Maw. The problem is going to invalidate itself for players willing to put in the work.

Maw seems fine to me it’s not hard if you can do basic stuff like stun mobs or move out of things and with the mobs you can kill for the mounts it’s not hard to get around even as a fat slow pally.

That's not a game problem. That's a you problem.

Quick.... what's the title of this thread?

Something I disagree with and I never made this thread so why are you telling me?

Ah, I get it. So you want players to look at it and pass it off as "not content" because it doesn't give player power. THEN later complain that they're "forced" to do it when they do add power to it in response to people doing it for fun.

Read the name of the thread in which you are posting, my friend.

Same as above

We're telling you because you're going off-topic and seem to be intentionally derailing the thread? Maybe?

idk because I bought a videogame to have fun? Going to hell in Diablo was pretty fun.

Don't you worry, that will be fixed with the release of Diablo Immortal.

If you want to have fun then what are you doing in the Maw?

[huth]

Sockets the ability to upgrade certain conduits otherwise gated to renowned. You know the rewards people have mentioned multiple times now...

Neither of which is Maw exclusive. You can get socketed gear from other sources, and that's just one way to get conduits that isn't exactly terribly efficient either.

[Queen of Hamsters]

... Is it mandatory though?

I've more or less ignored it, only doing dailies and the quests that leads into it. Beyond that, I am just doing Torghast, Callings, farming herbs/ore and that [INSERT VERY COLORFUL LANGUAGE HERE] legendary item that I need...

What exactly will I miss out on by NOT spending all the time possible in the Maw...?

My problem with the Maw, and a coupe of other places, is how hard everything hits as I gear up. I enjoy a challenge and don’t expect to faceroll at 171 but when I see that unexpected third or fourth mob roll over I know I’m screwed.

That's actually kind of what I like about it. The threat of losing Stygia and the fact you can get overwhelmed if you aren't careful creates some very real tension.

I only just got my main to max and unlocked it yesterday (very busy lately), and stayed up late trying to get Maw and Torghast progression before today's reset. Which involved doing a few of Ven'ari's quests at Eye of the Jailer t4 and t5 and clearing the first three layers of both Torghast wings at ilvl 145. I did spend most of my Stygia before going out with t5, but it was actually exciting and required me to play carefully.

Also, at least with WM off, Torghast sort of breeds cooperation. You end up naturally just gravitating towards and helping other players because the risks are high.

I always feel like people play a different game then I do at times. My issue with the maw is how painfully toothless it is and how much of a burden other players are.

Careful navigate through the maw to avoid pulling mobs for max gains? Some deep runs past you trailing 20 mobs and tries to feed them into your aoe.

If they wanted to make a dangerous zone then make a dangerous zone... not one where I'm constantly soloing elites and weekly quests since the most dangerous mob is one with a long cast that only does 10% of my hp.

Add to that the excessive amount of cc mobs have and the penalties for killing them and its tedium taken to 11.

My only problem is the lack of catch up mechanics for those who can't play daily.
