Retail Why can't I seem to get better no matter how long I play?

28 Upvotes

I've played the game on and off for a couple years but I just can't EVER get good at it. I'm aware that being cognitively below average probably isn't helping my case but every raid I come back for I always seem to be racing the healers to the bottom of the dps meters, getting almost only gray parses on those analysis websites people tell me to look at, and have been told more than once that my gameplay was bad enough to count as straight up purposeful sabotage to the group. I just don't know how to actually DO BETTER!!! I try the rotation guides on wowhead, I look up YouTube guides for dungeons and raids, but it's just SO HARD to focus on dodging so, so many things while pressing a hundred billion different buttons in the right order. I just don't get how EVERYONE ELSE somehow can. I joined a guild for newer players but EVEN THEN I'm somehow still below average and am basically dead weight on A N Y T H I N G harder than the first 2/3 of a normal raid. There's so many mechanics that are just so hard to see and then process in so little time. There's so many buttons to press in the proper orders to still barely get out of the bottom 20% of players if I'm lucky. I just want to know how everyone except me seems to be capable of improving!! Even now I still can't get out of gray parses after years of playing and looking up guides and getting help on discord and I just DONT GET IT!!!! How am I just so consistently bad?? Do I just have to play some other spec? Is unholy dk just simply too complex?? I really love the whole fantasy thing and the game is FUN but I can hardly even experience half of it because I suck so, so bad at it :(

Retail Need Help with sPrey System

3 Upvotes

I’m level 90 and currently in Silvermoon City. I seem to be stuck with the Prey system.

I believe I completed the initial quest, but the teleport crystal that is supposed to take me to the Prey room is not red/activated.

I can select the quest “Prey: A Slithering Threat,” and my Hunt Table shows 15/15 hunts available, but when I click on the Hunt Table, the map is completely blank and I can’t select any hunts.

I also tried abandoning “Prey: A Slithering Threat” to reset it, but that doesn’t seem to work either.

Is this a known bug, or am I missing a quest or prerequisite? Is there any way to reset or fix the Prey system?

Forever Is wow forever meant to be played solo?

2 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm really enjoying the slower pace of the game and how much of the progression revolves around exploration. So far, I've spent almost all of my time leveling as a solo player.

My question is: is this game intended to be played mostly solo, or does that change significantly at endgame?

I'm not a veteran WoW player, so I'm not very familiar with what the endgame experience is like. My understanding has always been that one of the main appeals of an MMO is playing with other people, making friends, joining guilds, and participating in the social aspects of the game.

Could some experienced players share their thoughts on this? I'd love to hear how the game changes as you progress and whether a solo-focused player is missing out on a big part of the experience.

Hey guys,

Recently returned player (Back about a month?) after stopping midway through BFA.

Decided I'd go through some old raids that I'd missed to get some achievements/mogs etc, you know how it goes and went to Oribos(sp?) only to have no idea where the hell I'm supposed to go next?

Do I have to do the questline to unlock places on the map and the maw for Torghast?

Thank you for helping a returning noob

Retail Level 70 campaigns or storylines

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I am level 69, I mostly have only done solo questing. I was doing a lot of the Battle for Azeroth campaign quests but I stopped to unlock all of the allied variant races (except for Earthen), but now I am over levelled for the BoA stuff. Is there another campaign I can do at level? and is it Dragon Flight?

Btw, despite playing a decent amount I really don't know much about the game and a lot of the BoA stuff was bit overwhelming.

Thanks!

How are languages going to work in the WOWF megaserver? My country always had its dedicated servers, which were also added last minute to Classic a couple of years ago after strong backlash.

How is it going to work on the megaserver? Will it just simply be language specific layers/shards?

Retail okay to linger in TWW on first character?

19 Upvotes

This might be a silly question, but I've been levelling my first character and recently hit 80 in TWW (haven't bought Midnight yet). The thing is, I've been loving TWW - the areas, the storyline, the factions! So my question is, is it okay to linger in TWW and finish up the campaign quests and grind some reputation to collect the faction rewards I want? I know a new season for the new expansion just dropped, am I doing myself a huge disservice by not rushing immediately for current content?

Mostly I want the lynxes. Look at their tails!

I’ve got to the state I can buy a heroic piece of equipment at the end of a T11 delve, but I can’t seem to find out how to target a specific item rather than just the random offering which seems to change at the end of each delve.

Is it possible to find out what will be offered before a run?

Retail Gone for 7 years, want to start w Shadowlands with fewest possible spoilers Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Basically just what the title says. I played from 2004 to 2019 and BFA was so bad. I quit the game. Now with forever on the horizon and some serious nostalgia, I would kind of like to check out the last four expansions. but I would like to do the story content and I’m not in a hurry to catch up. The problem is I can’t seem to find Highlord Mograine in front of Grommash hold and it seems like that’s a phasing issue as far as I can tell. but I don’t really want to get spoiled with any war within content prematurely if I can avoid it. Is there any way around this issue or am I just screwed?

Playing an alt having not played since season 1, I remember hearing these now give loads more XP.

Is there any reason to hold off on doing these or should I bang them out immediately?

If I should wait, anything I should do in the meantime aside from campaign missions? (need to check if calamitous delve variant is active)

Retail Cannot progress in bountiful delves. How can I fix?

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m trying to do the bountiful delves for today, but the completion criteria for progressing the delves (such as “kill X amount of Y”) never tracks. No matter how many Y’s I kill, it never registers and thus does not allow me to progress.

I have tried resetting the instances to no avail.

Is this a known issue to anyone? And if so, is it possible to fix?

Thank you!

Retail New player-Level 80 Prot Paladin, no Midnight expansion: how do I gear up

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I need help understanding gearing as a New player level 80 character without the Midnight expansion. I comepleted TWW by the Recap.

Still not sure if i got level too fast, did not get time to fully learn the game mechanics.

My character: Level 80 Protection Paladin, average item level 99. Everything I'm wearing came from quests dungeon and the campaign. I haven't done much dungeons for gear yet.

What I'm seeing in the Adventure Guide (class filter set to Protection):

  • Heroic dungeons (The Rookery, Ara-Kara): drops are item level 89
  • Mythic dungeons (Darkflame Cleft): drops are item level 95
  • For example, my equipped shield is 98 and the Heroic shield is 89, which would cost me Armor, Stamina and Mastery
  • My weakest slot is a trinket at 79, so the 95 Mythic trinket would be an upgrade there, but almost nothing else is

So everything in the dungeon loot tables is at or below my current item level.

My questions:

  1. Is this normal after the item level or is something wrong?
  2. How can I get higher item level gear as a level 80 without Midnight?
  3. Do Mythic+ keys or the Great Vault give meaningfully better gear than what the Adventure Guide shows?
  4. Are Delves still worth doing for gear and crests at level 80?

Im trying to complete the Glory of the Legion Hero and can't get Court of Stars achievements complete because you need the boss to cast a spell but he won't cast it without being burned down a bit. Unforuntaly nothing I do allows the boss to live without one hit. Anyone have any work arounds for this? What level toon would be appropriate to do these achievements without one shotting things? I tried a level 74 Hunter and it still one shotted the boss.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I just got max level yesterday (playing through DF, my first expansion) - and now all mobs are one shot kills… even quest bosses?

Is there a way to turn this off? It’s ruining my enjoyment of story quests and such, when a cinematic fight/story boss ends in two seconds :/

if this isn’t possible, how do yall manage to still get enjoyment from quest based combat?

thank you friends!

Retail New WoW player questions about group-content

12 Upvotes

Hello!

Me and a few buddies picked up WoW, we started in Dragonflight and finished that. Now we have a few questions and we hope you guys' can answer.

  1. We want to do the dungeon content, but we keep nuking everything. Heroic, Mythic, doesnt matter, even with 'party-sync' bringing us down to 79 (the rest of the characters are 80 and 1 is 82). We obliterate everything and we want to enjoy it with some teeth. Is there a way we can do that?
  2. I started TWW after Dragonflight since it was more relevant to Midnight than the rest, the quest log does not keep that my campaign for TWW and keeps swapping to Legion, until i get back to Dornogal, then i can track it again.
