Why did All Streamers and Testers say Torghast is Amazing

[Declaron]

Tl;dr it was a cosmetic only unlimited instance with no power cap.

Now it’s a mandatory legendary material farm that’s time gated with no cosmetics, only so they can force usage of the feature and obtain higher mau, with the addition of being able to drop in the unlimited version (south 3 wings, already in game just portals deliberately remove) as new unlimited farm content in 9.3 to hold onto subs

[Ermelloth]

I'm fine with Torghast and actually having fun running it.

The only thing that should change regarding it - there must be some rewards introduced except Ash in there. At least cosmetic or pets or else. Cause, once people get their maximal lvl 4 Legendary, they won't have the reason to run it anymore each week.

LOL WUT?! People are already bitching up a storm about how they "HATE" Torghast, and you think an unlimited version with the same nonexistent rewards is going to somehow keep subs?

What the hell are you on? It sounds like a good trip, maybe i'll try it too.

People will bitch about anything. These forums are not a good measure of how people feel about torghast. They just nerfed it and made it a lot less time consuming while nerfing the shit out of those assassins. Seriously...that guy spawned waaaaay too much, and having him spawn on a boss floor was terrible. But they fixed those and right now torghast feels pretty good. You don't need to do it everyday. To get the majority of soulash you just need to do 1 floor on the bottom and the top. Islands for grinds and the utter failure of warfronts.....i'd say torghast is a big step in the right direction. Having special powers and good ones makes it fun. And you can do it with friends.

Torghast may not be perfect...but it is a hell of a lot better then islands ever were or warfronts.

It would probably be better if instead of 6 floors of set difficulty you'd have endless floors with increasing difficulty and it gave soul ash for each completed floor... Now it's just okay.

It would be nice if they just turned off those spawns on boss floors. I would be winding up a pyro and right as it launches they would start spawning on me.

And i agree, I enjoy Torghast a lot more than i thought I would. Even on the classes I thought it would suck on, it's still a lot of fun. And i don't have anyone in there to judge me and all my jumping and running and line of sighting mobs to heal. That trait that gives you super jump on someone who can kite!! I've been comparing it to the old castle of the winds game from back in the day, and i equate bosses you can't beat to "accidentally" teleporting into a room with no way out and nothing in your bags/spellbook to help you. Just gotta start all over again from the start.

[Psykd]

It really would be nice to have a currency or something for additional reward. Make clearing it past making/upgrading your desired legendary to it's max or even give reason to do your best in the upcoming twisting corridors.

Whether the rewards be a transmog set, Anima enchant visual, toys/pets... Hell chuck in a bag of random meat/leather/cloth that we can redeem I'd be happy.

Aside from that, I've enjoyed my weekly clears. Solo only as fire mage.

I'm not trying to just bad mouth Torghast but don't know a single person that enjoys Torghast. In fact the opposite. I can constantly see Torghast hate in Gen chat and Guild chat. People get their Ash and don't go back. That isn't fun content.

It feels like Island 2.0

Same here. I don't know a single player thinks Torghast is fun that he would go back to do more Torghast after he gets weekly ash.

[MrHorner]

Its ok but its not something that I would do if It wasn't mandatory for the soul ash

[Ihavewaffles]

It is pure garbage, a gray dull tower while buffs are nice, there is no point, you get no loot, no nothing in there, you are forced to go in there if u want a legendary...that's it...

In horrific visions, depending on difficulty, u got a chest with loot in it. No chest in thorgast...No mail muncher, no fun...

[ashblond]

Torghast is getting worse and worse everyday

[Notdev]

I like torghast, like a lot. But like many other features in this game, even things I like become annoying chores if you have to do them over and over.

[Mayia]

Stockholm syndrome, Bfa has given wow players such a low bar, shadowlands not being aids seems like its great.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

But they just added events and treasure goblins yesterday. How is it getting worse?

Except you don't have to do it "over and over".

1. Only "easy mode" is relevant for player power.
2. If you're not skilled/geared enough even for layer 8 of regular Thorgast, you can just do lower layer and lose almost nothing in big picture.
3. It's not endless, at most you need 2-3 legendaries and probably overwhelming majority need just one.

To be honest I don't understand people that spend hours and hours doing Twisting Corridors for mount that save them few minutes at best. I did only layer 1 without rushing everything and get 100 anima powers, it was fun as hell to be this overpowered. I plan to do higher layer once a week (maybe some on different class when I gear up some alt).

Of course it's not at all "next Mage Tower", which was solo boss fight you had to learn. I still hope we will get MT 2.0 in this expansion.
