[Prag]

I don't know if this is going to change the perception of it being a chore.

[Bluespiderman57]

Huh.....look like a talent tree. Neat.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

This is exactly what I want in Torghast, permanent upgrades that affect all future runs.

[Darkeon]

We might finally be getting out of the beta, folks.

[Sharpbladez]

Just what we needed, more systems

[Esper]

This looks like they are making it more like Horrific Visions. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Don't you mean more like Deaths of Chromie?

[Marlamin]

Don't you mean more like Deaths of Chromie?

The data indeed implies this is based on the Deaths of Chromie scenario (and right now they even share the background image).

[arkanon]

Just what we needed, more systems

yeah to be perfectly honest, that was my first thought too. If they genuinely thought this would improve things, why was it not in at launch? Adding multiple new systems at the start of each expansion is bad enough - adding more during each expansion is just too much, imo.

[FelPlague]

its... its not more systems... tis literally just a talent tree...

boy are you gunna hate Vanilla/TBC/Wotlk/Cata/Mop/Wod/Legion/BFA/and shadowlands.

[Pandragon]

Anything they can do to not have to try and fix anima powers i guess.

[FelPlague]

what needs to be fixed about anima powers?

[Crionics]

Man it makes me sleepy just looking at anything related to Torghast. It's some of the most boring content they've ever added to WoW.

Wow so edgy, so new and you're contributed so much to the conversation......perhaps you can actually explain yourself without repeating the same old tired nonsense people spew about it?

What system was added in Vanilla that was abandoned in TBC? Same for TBC into Wrath?

Obviously BGs were added during Vanilla, but was continued. And to be fair, I expect a few additions after a game first launches - stuff that wasnt quite ready etc.

vanilla to tbc- 40 man raids, pvp ranking system, faction specific classes, stat %'s, dungeons only being in 1 difficulty, 10 man dungeons, full 8 set teir bonuses. Profession quests, class quests.
tbc to wotlk- faction specific seals, flying being endgame, world pvp objectives, unique drums, raids being 1 size and 1 size only, and 1 difficulty only (intro of 10/25 and normal/heroic).

[glowpipe]

Now lets add xp for alts and gearing for solo players and we are onto something.

Karazhan says hello

[aceperson]

if all the changes are this generic, torghast isn't going to get any better. rogue lites are loved for the variety of gameplay and runs they provide. a talent tree with generic power boosts and a collection minigame inside of the this minigame isn't going to make it better. there needs to be a lot more powers that are useful AND change gameplay.
