      @@WetFarts94 it's called "leveling raids". You don't have to do them as much as you do, you could utilize them for leveling when the time comes so you're less burnt out on them during current content and focus on alts, professions, reputation, pvp or gold farming. There is other content.

    The best fix to this would be more bis items outside of the raid. While having a lot of your best items in the raid itself is important, for example people would spend a lot of time outside of raiding farming hand of justice, or doing UBRS for pre-raid gear. Even if it was a few strong items like 1 per dungeon for various classes. There's literally nothing worth doing at these brackets outside of Gnomer.

      Im pretty upset that the bis weps for my shaman are the 2 fist weps within gnomer that are both highly contested by most melee classes, they are super fucking rare as in 11 gnomer clears I saw each drop once and got neither. If there was any other option to get other weps that good Id farm the hell out of it.

    Glad they're experimenting more like plunderstorm and SoD! I feel like it's the only way wow survives the future. Just this week I decided to take a break from SoD until phase 3 similar to you. Glad I have FF7 and Dragons Dogma coming up! Really hoping phase 3 includes more pve content such as dungeons. I really feel the team underestimated how popular SoD was going to be.

    I'd say 25-40 is way quicker than 1-25 was with the 100% exp buff. You get like half a level every run of SM. The 3 day lockout is killing us having to coordinate and run multiple groups 3 days per week. This is causing the most burnout for us.

    Plunderstorm is nothing more of a distraction from what they are supposed to do....whether it's class tuning or actual repeatable AND entertaining end game content.

    I completely agree with what you say. I assume blizzard have made plunderstorm locked behind the subscription and as a limited time game as a sort of beta to see the response and potentially build on it. If they made it free to play and updated it then what you say about new players potentially subscribing is a definite possibility. I'm hoping that Devs have been quiet on SoD because P3 is going to be packed with end game content, P2 has been a bit lack luster. Love the raid but now I'm raid logging and this week I'm not even going to bother raiding.

    I actually enjoy the slower pace. As a dad gamer it really fits my lifestyle and how (and how much) I can play. They (and content creators) have said multiple times that this was/is supposed to be casual-friendly. I’d love to see it stay that way. There are loads of other games for the more intense/hardcore gamers. For those of us with careers, families, and other responsibilities this is just about perfect. But this is just MY opinion.
    Also… you look fantastic bro! You’re in your 30s??? I thought for sure you were early to mid 20s - 25 tops.

    it's been 10 days since the last balance patch... not weeks, but your sentiment still seems to be the perception for many. Personally I'm enjoying phase 2 a lot more... got bored in phase 1. I do think they definitely should have done a little more balancing... swapped to my shaman the last week or so and maybe that's why I'm still enjoying it... my rogue feels super weak in comparison, and my warrior is fun, but shaman is on another level.
    I also think that while people say they like the STV event, they don't actually like the STV event. The lag combined with the short kill times just diminishes the fun even if it's subconscious.

    Still playing SOD, but Im not such a big fan of the raiding community in this game and it seems to be getting worse by the phase.
    Also another thing to take note of is if you aren't rushing in the first 2 weeks to do the new raid and get logs done, you will be left out of groups weeks later when you go to start Gnomer because people wont accept you without a log to judge. Not so great for the people who want to run alts at the end of a phase.

    My problem in SoD has been with most returning players honestly. Raids aren't about fun, they're about parsing (most of you are using that word wrong BTW and it drives me crazy). They overpower every conversation with it, and you can barely break into the game if you don't have history doing it perfectly within the first week. If you had a consistent group before SoD this probably seems fine, but as a returning player trying to actually experience the game again this has completely overpowered every moment in the game, and you absolutely can not avoid it anymore.
    Ban all raid logs and dps charts.

    I can't take anyone serious when they're like "there's no content" or "not enough content". If you're burned out, play another game or stop living on the game. No game is literally intended for people to spend every waking moment on it or every free moment they have if they have 'normal jobs' that don't let them play the game all day. And if people are doing raids, leveling alts, rep and pvp grinding, working on professions and gold etc, there is plenty, PLENTY to do to keep you occupied normally.

    • @hammerdancegaming
      @hammerdancegaming  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea I don't think that the complaints are about the leveling for the most part its the lack of content at 40. So there's no real incentive to play more than 1 or 2 characters and go through that grind. For a good majority of the player base, 1-40 takes much longer than 24 hours. That's where the issue lies I think.

    • @sniperdps
      @sniperdps 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ok, let's start with the fact that in his video he literally said that most people had 6-7 lvl 25's in phase 1. So, we're really talking about leveling from 25-40. Not 1-40. But that aside, I leveled 1-8 in like 10 minutes because, well, with the XP buff, it's a joke. I then did 8-18 RFC boosts at 1g a piece. I think it was 10 runs. Then I did SFK boosts at 3 gold a piece. That was another 10 or so runs all the way to 28 and then I started dungeon grinding in SM all the way till 40. I took one break to quickly do the sleeping bag quest chain for both XP and the student fodder.
      My point is - for something like 30 g and having a few guildies summon you places (aren't most people in guilds?) you can get to 40 very quickly. And again - 24 hours isn't the cut off for people to go "oh, hell this takes too long, I'm out." Indeed, it took longer than 24 hours to get your toon to lvl 25 in phase 1.
      I will also mention that I play on two accounts, so I used my main to help me do quests for runes etc. which helped a lot.
      Bottom line, I think it is extremely reasonable that someone can casually get an alt from phase 25 to lvl 40 in about a week's time if you do a LITTLE bit of planning and use a little bit of gold (I assume most people can muster 30g).
