WoW’s ‘Best’ Content Is Back, All The BS Is GONE

> We're so back
> It's so over
> We're so back
> It's so over

And so into infinity. The cycle continues.

I like delves because I can take as much time as I want to get through it. With mythics being timed and every tank in a heroic dungeon trying to make it as hard as a m+10 by pulling everything to the boss before killing anything. Delves are a nice refreshing thing where I can start one, progress through a bit. Take a few minute break. Grab a drink or whatever and then go back to it. There is no pressure to pull mob after mob. On the higher level ones I sometimes wait for cds to be up again before I pull the next pack/mob.

Once someone points out his video patterns, you cant unsee it. “The death of wow”
“Wow is so back”
“Wow is over”
“Wow is the best that it’s ever been” 😂

They should repurpose old content while fixing the issues with it more often.

[Shiirow]

the BS will never go away, its just renamed, repainted and repackaged.

[proofofmyexistence]

The game rules right now, it hasn’t been in as good of a place in a very long time, and anyone commenting anything negative are just upset they’re missing out.

The WW plot is nothing special, but the content has been gold!

[runky]

I hope they do this with more things. Torghast had it flaws, but it also had huge potential.

[MaethorDerien]

I really hope they keep something around like this permanently. They need to embrace more solo content for players, the popularity of delves and the decline of M+ kinda shows that. Frankly I hate how toxic M+ has gotten because of the timer, I actually haven't even and probably don't plan on doing any M+ this season. I actually don't mind a timer in solo content like this where a screw up that loses time is my fault. When you in a group though that timer just makes the entire thing no fun. Nobody talks because you don't have the time to waste and a single screw up often has people leaving.

Honestly - the visions were super annoying until you could start to actually gain progression and then they were fun but you couldn't actually do them for fun and that was a huge problem. And by the time they fixed the problem, people were already so over the situation that it didn't get them back.

I really didn't like Horrific visions, I got all achievements from them, but playing content that debuffs you as the ''challenge'' is not something I'm interested in. I want my baseline character to feel the same always, but clearing challenges from that baseline. All the masks made it miserable gameplay. Concept seemed fine, but didn't like it.

[Artorius]

5:15 it isn't almost the same with Delves? You need a coffer key to open the bountiful chest, A chore whithin a chore, and, if you are out of lives, you can't loot the chest?

[Dungeon]

2:18 Now now, Scenarios>Island Expeditions>Horrific Visions>Torghast>Delves. It started long before this. I was there 3, 000 years ago.

[glue_harbour_hobby]

If only blizzard didn't make fun content such a chore to do. Both visions and torghast could have been such nice evergreen content if it wasen't forced down our throats. Visions coming back is good news for you guys still playing though. Have fun in there.

[Cayn]

I really hope they don't align the Horrific Visions group scaling with the Delve scaling. Delves are so much easier solo than duo, and I'd love to play with my wife without the content being made unnecessarily difficult by broken scaling

[Cezium]

I don't hate time limits because I feel like it's lazy gameplay, I hate time limits because I like to take my time. This is overall a big pass from me. Luckily SoD is incredible rn

[kennethmalafy]

Amazing how the content came to life once they removed the chore part and the Huge lesson in game design right there.

[Spint]

I remember playing this! It was stressful as hell, somewhat hard to learn and when you finally felt like you were getting somewhere, it ended. I also remember the rewards being... unrewarding as hell, with more content being locked behind it too or something. Still great that they are making alt gameplay come back again with a bit of a revision. Over all they have always been a positive thing!

[zeusapollo]

Now we only need the other big and fun feature of BfA back: The quite massive faction war in wpvp.

[TKing]

Hearing the criticism about Horrific Visions after Madseasonshow just released a 'Why BfA was Bad' video earlier today really gives me hope that they don't suck with the exclusion of the GIANT CHORE LIST from BfA.
