This is great for me. While I enjoyed raiding with a guild back in Wrath all those folks moved on and I find it harder to make those connections as I get older. Plus the toxicity which has always lurked in dungeon finder and LFR. This lets me play the game solo.
This game used to be social and about working together. They should have pulled the plug years ago.
This content is the lowest common denominator. It is the easiest baby mode raid. You do not get end game gear (except for weird kinda quest rewards you get for beating the last boss on any difficulty). This is literally only there so someone who doesn't interact with people or cannot physically do the raid for disability or skill can expirance it and see the cutscenes. This is inclusion not erosion.
There is still a large community around the harder contents and if you want real gear you have to still group.
I almost always played solo because I liked exploring and crafting and doing things at my pace. Whenever I had a group, I felt like I was pressured to move move move and finish as much as possible without absorbing the environments or reading the matching story lines.
I was able to finish a few of the low level instances, but was rarely able to find a group to run with and thus usually just skipped over any quests that required them. Sure, picking up some legendary gear would be nice, but I would have just loved the option to stroll through these quests on my own.
Exactly! This is why this was added. It doesn't take away from the people who group to push hard content. It just allows casual people to experience the game.
It's still pretty social, the article title is extremely misleading. They can't do raids solo, they can only do the final fight, with an AI controlled group, for the purpose of non-raiders seeing the end of the story line. There are no loot rewards for it either, it's just story.
Yeah it's always really stupid how articles come out and say something misleading and people who don't play anymore just believe it or horribly misconstrue it
That's the part I always hated. It was hostile towards people who liked the lore but didn't want to group up with some guy named LaserButt4000 who didn't want to go to the same dungeon as you, but was happy to get your rare loot in a bad roll of the dice.
Private servers with scaling for dungeon soloing were a godsend. WoW is actually awesome as a single player game. It's unfortunate the devs never realized that.
Somebody tell FFXIV, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
You can actually. FF14 let's you run "trusts" which are just dungeons where your party is a bunch of NPC bots drawn from the story's roster.
The only thing you can't do it for iirc is the end game raids, but those are generally not connected to the main story very directly.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? That's awesome. Thanks for letting me know!
No problem! It's actually handy for learning dungeons and stuff cuz you can watch the NPCs who rarely mess up their positioning.
I could not figure out how to get acquainted with people on there.
