Then there's a bug that shows more desirable gems for the ring from the mini bosses.....that cannot be awarded this week. The most powerful gems for most classes are all stats. +max stat, +mastery and +all stats. They need to buff the damage and healing gems to make them actually powerful.
They think this ring will make players want to do mythic plus again, but they don’t realize that they completely turned everybody off. It’s gonna take another Bellard video saying it’s the easiest season since dragonflight season three for this game to bounce back
6:35 to try and help your dilemma there, the ring and not releasing the rest of the upgrades is not just about the ring. It feeds into a bigger picture and rest of the content releases, updates and expansions. Its how blizzards has been releasing content for years now and its also one of the project management/business guidelines to drip feed the content and introduce changes after at least 14 days. This is apparent from expansion releases, raids and dungeon releases and it all falls under the same ideology they follow for content delivery. All gear is literally always time gated. We just got one "gate" opened after 639 and many previous before 639... And this is for number of reasons, such as allowing *ALL* people to learn, progress or catch up, or whatever else, not just the ones who are there 24/7 and seeing new content as a target, rather than availability. Surely, there is a player retention framework behind all of this, that would prefer you to come back every day for the rest of your life if possible. However, I don't think that having an excess of currency such as the one gathered on the isle is a bad thing, because the opposite of that would be - not enough currency - which definitely is a bad thing and we had this in the years before and even recently with crests required to upgrade gear. p.s. there's 20 years of content in WoW, if you don't like waiting just pick something up from the past. Its what I've done after grinding best gear in each expansion for the past 15ish years and it literally is a game changer. No more repeating M+, just chill, good times and raid/M+ occasionally
Everytime i see complaints about time-gates, its the same shit, its “blizzard doesnt let me have my big stat upgrade Immediately mimimi“ and its always ppl that spend 24/7 ingame. The only reason i‘m already done with tww content for now outside of m+ and some meta achievements is because i have holidays. Theres always Content to fall back to. Im sure everyone still has stuff to do in DF, Legion, Bfa, SL, hell wotlk or classic too probably edit: i wrote this before the endimg statement of the video. Which honestly is turbo ironic coming from someone who literally made a video complaining about timegates
@@notlikethis-zf7xm But not everyone is interessted in that content mates. if it works for you good. But there are people that dont like grind old quests or old archivment but have fun doing raids or m+. And when you got PROMISED there wopuld be a shiny new super ring and then its batshit because timegated, yeah you are angry. Just because you are happy with the state of TWW doesnt means everybody is happy or that the state of TWW is acceptable.
@ i dont like to grind old content either, i rather do m+, where did you get promised a shiny new super ring? it was well known that Your shiny new super ring was ass for every class aside from Mastery based ones? so even if you could upgrade it to max(which doesnt make sense btw) and had access to all the right sockets. You still, wouldnt be using it. I never said im happy about the state of tww, i merely state the obvious. If you dont Immediately sweat everything in the content because you have things to do other than wow, im sure siren isle wouldve been a solid evening or two.
Current retail iteration has no meaningful progression system, just simple lifeless progression, you get gear thrown at you, I usually have no motivation to progress anything, because I know what ever I do I will done with little effort or too much, for which I don't have time. Ye, weird that they don't full content, like by big time gate at time like this.
yeah "some" is the right word. There is nothing to do besides farm the same stupid 3 events over and over simply for your twinks or grind a bit for the mount. thats it.
Retail being time gate/seasonal, you just can play a little every once in a while, and play something else, or even classic for any meaningful progression gameplay.
sufferings from the same issue like any of the new age games tight deadlines and full of bugs, incomplete releases to satisfy investors either by growth or increase in player base (or both)
I get why they timegate its businesses play time metrics. They need to at least make it fun Like mask it somehow Or gove something else so we can be like, "Yes this part is gated, but this part is not and its fun so ill keep at it" then the timegating is easier to deal with.
Yeah my thoughts exactly, like I don't mind that the ilev for the ring is timegated at all, but I don't see the value in timegating both the ilev and the citrines as well, especially when it's poorly communicated in game that the citrines are timegated to begin with.
Vet gear? Catch up? What is the actual point of that gear besides transmog collection? It is minimal effort to collect champ or hero gear. I'll never understand what other point that gear has because it is such low effort to get better gear.
Literally a 37k downgrade for me atm... actually worse than a 570 ring I found yesterday, what does that tell you? I'm getting tired of blizzard not taking a look at community resources like raidbots and warcraftlogs to make sure shit works as it should.... I doubt they even do so when it comes to class balance... Nerfing a class from being top ST dps in the game and a "meh is ok" AoE class, to literally bottom half of the pack ST and a Joke in AoE, that don't happen if they used actual community resources.... Like... First of all, I don't think any game should EVER nerf any class other than fixing bugs that might cause them to be way over the top, they should just buff up weaker classes instead... Even if those buffed classes over take you on dps, you still aren't weaker than before, you don't feel bad about your class anymore... And if this causes the raid or "Shitty" M+ dungeon to be too easier, well, then you just buff the dungeon... You look really bad when you have to keep nerfing dungeons and raids over and over and over again just to let more and more people be able to do your crap content.... They have some real god damn expendable brain rot going on in that company of theirs... PS. And I'm sorry for saying this, but this is also why I don't feel bad or care anymore for the kind of firings that is happening in this industry... I know it's a bad take, but you keep messing with me and my entertainment, I will only wish for bad things to happen to you.

What does it "easy" even mean in infinitely scaling content such as M+?
@ accessible
For many mythic turned them off in rage, they might come back next season.
@ if my intuition serve me correctly, a lot of people will not be coming back because they’re going to feel personally insulted and rightfully so
It's not Mechagon or Forbidden Isle or Korthia... it's just a Grind fedt for a Crow
Time-gated borrowed power... Blizzard is back to their old ways.
The quest to upgrade the ring is currently bugged for quite a few people (me included)
What backpack addon are you using? This looks amazing. :)

Idk about that. Im just happy that they released some content between their update formula "Release - half-patch - content patch"

Ah yes, the gear catch-up patch.
I get why they timegate its businesses play time metrics.
They need to at least make it fun
Like mask it somehow
Or gove something else so we can be like,

Obviously blizzard is time gating because of WoWs subscription based financing.
Maybe if all the sweats didn’t finish everything in a week by playing 24:7 they wouldn’t need to do this ……
What is the problem with that ?
@@fanofcoddpeople unsub and then blizz can't make hundreds of millions, so more $90 store mounts will appear or idk.

For me I am happy bc I still have 1 rep to max, the goblin questlines to finish, and the Detective quest s from the 20th Celebration,

ah yes i cant speedrun the whole game in 1 hour so im pissed
Unironically. I'm not playing something that doesn't respect my time
