Just typical blizzard problem of taking something cool and watering it down into some simple, basic whatever that takes no real thoughts or gives you any real agency.
The moment I unlocked the Shadowlands mission table is the moment that I no longer wanted to play Shadowlands.
Everything Blizzard does "falls rather flat"
OK, I am drunk and angry in addition to being a nobody
Problem with WoW when it started the special destiny plot
If I am the Champion by extension that mean any power up should be used to empower me.
I am the special one after all……..
Being "the" Maw walker in extension means everybody in my raid are my minions and should default to give all their stuff to me
Special desteny works as Commander Sheppard or the Balespawn:
I started playing this game to be something more then myself.
Like sneaking thru the elite Dragonkin to do my part to feed the campaign to open the AQ gates.
If I am the champion or fucking MawWalker that means all the main carachter are not!
Inn addition it means that I am not in a world, I am my world.
Every other player solely exist to enhance my power.
I am THE special one.
Fuck my team
Fuck my friends
Again I am drunk and angry
I want to play my part in a vast world hopefully finding a group off likeminded people.
If I am THE champion or mawwalker then you are insignifant, and so are every single one of the other chararcter ever created in the WoW universe.
After all they I as a scrub can beat them all.
As a scrub……
I just don't get out of all the expansion features they scrap why keep the mission table? While scrapping our farm, challenge modes, artifact weapons, mage tower, order halls, and soon torghast. Why keep this instead???
Mr. Garrison was awesome. Legion was alright… and after that…. NOT!
Although I like the fact that the mission table gets me extra stuff, I despise it because there aren't any instructions on how to properly use it! Stop putting stuff into the game without telling players how to properly use it beyond the most basic "click here and hope it works out". I finally found a video that gave one hint to winning more missions but I'd probably be earning a lot more stuff if I had any real clue on the strategies to use.
There's nothing wrong with the mission table in shadowlands. It's not meant to be anything important and it's completely optional. Not every activity or item in the game has to be meaningful.
I liked the Shadowlands table, but I wanted to be able to use it a bunch of times in a row rather than being time gated. I loved watching them fight their turn based battle when they returned. It was cool and wish I could've messed around with that for hours.
Shadowlands best feature by an order of a magnitude.
It's bad when WoD was probably the best iteration of the mission table. You could actually see your followers in your base milling about and when you sent them out they physically walked out of the garrison. 90% of the sods in the SL mission table are just faceless nobodies you barely remember from quests who do nothing but stand around with their mouths open in the covenant bases before AND after you even recruit them.
Like how the hell do you deal with the wave of death?!?
Imagine… how much more fun we could have if we WENT on those missions on the table.
I want the mission table to meet its ultimate upgrade and become a borrowed power system. Remove it from the game and never use it again.
That shit needs to be deleted, mission table is just stupid
Wonder how much player power is going to be locked behind bad content in 10.0 , like the story, so they devs can feel smug while they make you smell their shit. Wonder if you'll have to do E-homework and have a gamer-portfolio to get picked for a digital dodgeball team for content that actually got decent resource allocation. Wonder if the npcs will all be scripted atari level coding or will they actually make something that looks like it belongs in a world with self driving cars. No way these followers could've been AI NPCs you gear and level up and can take to do dungeons and M+ with or take into raids. Wonder if we'll ever get solo rated pvp brackets of any kind. Just kidding I know it's very important we keep arbitrary participant gates on everything so we can filter feed on super fans via our communities to keep a fresh supply of exploitable submissive workers and agreeable influencers. I love how out of their way publishers go to nerf solo players to try and force people to engage with social hooks designed to make up for their lack of vision and ability. Dealing with dark empath developers trying to prop up communities to keep side rmt hustles going is making me watch fractal zoom videos while listening to reality shifting binaural beats in VR. That's not even mentioning that entire departments need to be replaced with AI systems for us to actually push the genre forward.
wish they'd end this garbage system and stop bringing it forward every expansion
I love seeing ascension ads on wow videos.
I stopped playing wow before 9.1 and don't intend to come back, maybe not even for 10.0
But…
*long drag of copium cigarette*
If they are going for diablo or arpg loot resources why not let players combine a number of the 226 conduit upgrades and maybe some anima or cinders to make a single 252 upgrade token? Sure blizzard would find a way to cock it up but at least it would make getting the 226 tokens into a more neutral experience like Matt said.
Wow I didn't even realized I stop to play World of Warcraft
my subscription expired 2 weeks ago :-))
and I don't see the point to renew it right now
because I don't have nothing to do in the game
World of windowcraft. You spend all your time upgrading flat boring windows in your covenant. Why do we have all these stupid systems?? Why is there a "game" within a game?? Just let us play our characters,, just make our power gain simple.
This followers package was something from SWTOR that Blizzard tried to implement and failed. Much like the Timeless isle (eg al) stuff was ideas taken from Rift but never implemented particularly well, and transmogs were an attempt to make a variation on customisation options from both games without getting into IPR and copyright issues. I do wonder if the lack of player housing has something to do with Blizzard not wanting to fall into the trap of doing another iteration of something that was done in another MMO and was done better – both of the aforementioned games had robust player housing formats around the same time WoW gave you a farm…
I’d rather have a drinking game instead something like challenge the enemy to go shot for shot & the last one standing wins
I'll always hate the table because wod's mission table fucked up the game economy to an unrecoverable degree lol
Even if they set it to level 30 I have NONE on 2 tables below Level 30. Mounts are useless now, gear is sold for gold. Tables really have no use other than being another time sink.
My experience with command tables:
WoD: kinda cool I guess
Legion: Oh, this shit again
BFA: Oh, this shit again
SL: Oh, this shit again with a slight hearthstone twist
Let your alts be your followers! 😀
I have absolutely fucking hated everything about shitty ass mission table bullshit ever since WoD. It was a mistake, absolutely the worst single thing to have happened to the game beyond any measure. I hate them so much I can't even begin to express my utter disdain for them.
EIGHT
YEARS
fwiw I think the Legion table positively iterated on the WoD table, but BfA's TWO tables were a downgrade
At this point I actually miss Titan forging.
Why haven't they fixed the design issue you ask? Because they know better! You think that you do, but you don't!
Oh yes the facebook mobile game developed by small indie company
The mission table has been my most hated feature since WoD. I want more real content and not a fcking mobile game inside my PC game….
