I really dig the “story”mode, nice to see little things like that are being added. Sick addition.
hopefully this replaces lfr
omg that soooooooooooooooo fraking cool! yes pls!
This is pretty awesome for casual players but I'm sure this will infuriate some certain individuals of 2 certain organizations though.
As someone who likes knowing the stories but isn't very fond of a lot of group content, I think this is a great idea! As others have mentioned, LFR is a gong show, You either get rushed through it so you have no chance to actually learn the story, or you get stuck with a group that wipes/gives up easily. So this is a great way for solo players to get all the story content in the game at least, and I'm sure the rewards will not be on par with the other raid difficulties, so no need to get butt hurt about "but I worked hard for my stuff!" ... you'll probably still get way better stuff from doing the other difficulties!
excellent place for players to practice strats and build confidence without the pressure of feeling like you're messing up for everyone by wiping after an hour+ in the queue, as LFR durumu has recently reminded me.
Yes! Now I can finally play my MMO like a Single Player! NICE!
YES! A great addition! I've felt it was an issue that raids were heavily tied to the story but may be too inaccessible for those who worry about stepping into raids, even LFR.I'll probably end up doing this for the first time of a raid just to experience it all. Doesn't even need to drop gear, just let me go at my own pace and it'll be great.
lmao lets add another difficulty instead of just doing the smart thing and turning the game back into an mmo with 1 difficulty
Seems like a good choice for folks who want to experience the story being told, without having to deal with LFR, where you're in a large group, and likely dealing with folks who want to race through it to get the loot. This would allow for a more leisurely pace where they want to actually experience the story and raid, without the hassle of LFR.
omg please if they make an option to let you experience the story instead of slogging through the raid on day 1 I'm so here for it!
This is a brilliant idea; LFR is just a cluster*!@# of players, most of which don't know what's going on - and it's a very bad way to experience the story and art of the raidI actually think this shouldn't drop gear better open world level, it should exist like solo dungeons so you can go into a raid, complete the raid quest of each tier and explore the bosses etc
I love this. Also having the dungeons within the story takes a page right out of the XIV playbook, and creates a great experience for people wanting all of a story.It seems like they are really trying to put focus back on the story and the content itself. Remember folks, casual players pay the bills.
As someone who sucks at raids. I think LFR was a good difficulty to see the story without taking away the raid, big scale element to it.
shouldn't they just remove lfr for this then?
Love this, LFR never lets you sit and watch cutscenes and fully enjoy the raid without someone complaining your straggling behind.
Then whats the point of LFR anymore. WE DONT NEED 5 RAID DIFFICULTIES
THIS IS HUGE!
This is excellent. I hope it does drop something, even if just basic stuff or last season mount etc.
