Long story short, Retail only has the current raid on whatever difficulty you play. If all you want to do is raid the latest and greatest raid, BC probably takes less to keep up, just 1 raid night would do it. Once the next raids, SSC and Eye come out you won't suddenly stop Kara, Grull's and Mags. The other factor is, in BC you'll be encouraged to run Kara, Grull's and Mags. I personally started raid logging exclusively in February, once all the previous steps were won and done. In SL, you had the initial grind of M0s, renown, cov story etc. Pretty simple straight forward question, between the two games which do you feel would take more time to keep up with progression? Let's a say a player wanted to be able to keep up with AOTC progression and equivalent in BC, which game would require more time from the player?This is actually pretty subjective, but let's give it a shot.ĪOTC, when? I'm a casual mythic raider that got AOTC in mid January, many of my friends in AOTC only guilds didn't get theirs til first week of May, a 4 month gap.Īt what pace do you intend to play BC? BC has the attunements, once done you can raid log peacefully. TBC has a more daunting up front list, but progress is permanent and one and done and once achieved it's smooth sailing. Retail is easier to get caught up, but it never ends and your progress resets so the grind begins anew every patch. It may be easier to catch up and get raid ready immediately, but the list of chores needed to stay cutting edge is almost never ending.
#Minecraft best time sink Patch
every patch is a soft reset essentially, rendering your gear and progress kinda moot as you now have to climb the ladder all over again, rinse repeat ad nauseum.
In retail, due to it's D3 inspired seasonal nature of things. Your gear never goes bad, it will always be current and able to run the raids, and it's a more relaxing atmosphere. TBC may have a more intimidating "To do" list to be raid ready, but once you've achieved that it's done forever. And TBC was one of my favorite WoW times, but I just cannot unsee all the demotivational things.Pretty simple straight forward question, between the two games which do you feel would take more time to keep up with progression? Let's a say a player wanted to be able to keep up with AOTC progression and equivalent in BC, which game would require more time from the player?Retail, no question about it due to it's seasonal nature. I would be leveling a BE character right now if I had forgotten all these chores and bad luck. I stopped playing LOTRO when they have switched to talent trees from their older, much better talent system. I don't care about their "rewarding" system of getting pointless talent tree points which have to be selected to fit an optimal build. Could not stomach to level my first character in Classic, because leveling is so bad compared to retail. So, another layer of repulsive grind for me.Īnd to get a BE character, I would need to grind through all Classic bullshit once again. or patterns.Īlso PvP to get some BiS items from there - thank you very much, but I don't enjoy PvP (except in Legion, there it was kinda fun). have fun farming the same HC or raid over and over for weeks, if not months. Of course, when you get your BiS item, then you are done, but if not. It may or may not take more days to get where you’re going in retail (due to time gating), but the time you *invest* (sitting down and grinding) is MUCH greater in classic compared to retail.Exactly! I remember TBC quite well, and it was extremely grindy. It may or may not take more days to get where you’re going in retail (due to time gating), but the time you *invest* (sitting down and grinding) is MUCH greater in classic compared to retail.I wonder how many classic players are unaware of the Aldor/Scryer grind ahead of them. Excited about that gorehowl drop, or your shiny new thunder? Well you’ll be replacing it in a few months at best.
You’re always having to do it all again”. Especially with regards to the honor grind, which was frankly insufferable.ġ or 2 people have said in this thread things like “once you’ve done it, it’s done forever, but retail is seasonal.
Granted it’s been a long time since I played BC, but I played way way more back then and I always felt like I was playing catch up. Next patch? I’ll be doing exactly the same thing except with new content. I’m currently 6/10 mythic and I pretty much just show up for raids and that’s it. On retail, you do at least 1 m+ per week and spend about 30 minutes or so in torghast. Everything about BC took more of a time investment than retail. From leveling to gold making, from rep grinds to the content itself. More than that, the time investment was a *grind*. Can’t disagree more, I don’t understand how anybody could possibly think tbc had less of a time investment.
