Some concerns about your decisions regarding some blizzlike stuff

[sergy]

i kinda agree with you, but we must make a difference between getting the final item and finishing the patch and hard working for a piece of it. Think about the journey, not the destination. But still, the grinding, as you said, is too much of it, and could be boosted just a bit here. Not too much too, because we might miss the journey.

@sergy , Blizzard designed this journey to end close to the end of the expansion, have a look at the artifact power requirements on tomb, even with the doubled artifact power all the time, the journey still goes on, anyway, that double artifact power on week-end days still shines my head.

I agree whit this god know when we will have fully scripted EN so we can far AP in raid also cuz M+ wont work so well on private servers cuz like you said we lack Blizz population. I dont want Vanila grind. At least reduce AP requirement for lvling our weapons

Please keep your posts on topic and bring valid arguments regarding this subject.

topic was closed because of arguments like : wtf u whining you can donate for AP boom problem solved.

Please bring good and on-topic conversation or don't even bother posting.

I think that ap should be easy enough to farm so you can have more alts..on blizz having more than 1 char really needs 24/7 to be able to play them both at a decent lvl , not including changing specs!!

Personally, I think ap is the only thing that you have to work hard for, legendaries drop being a RNG fiesta and gearing up being relatively easy... I think this should be blizzlike for a period of time and as we proceed further in the expansion the reaserch time for artifact research notes to be lowered.
And maybe the population of the upcoming server will be bigger than we expect and M+ dungeons won't be just a dream.

Now that's constructive. Will take this under consideration.

even lowering AK research for a day and a half or a day would be helpful

I also support lowering AK research duration. By doing this, rerolling will be possible and less punishing, thus stopping players that chose the wrong class from leaving and there is always the possibility to attract players from retail (imo, your servers were always good).

I just can't help but find it very appealing and healthy for the server. We already have to gear up the characters. (from PvP standpoint also, ilvl still matters, even with pvp templates).

Artifact traits can make the difference between a win and a lose in PvP (be it arena or bg). Considering the lower population private servers have compared to retail, lowering AK research will, imo, balance pvp out because every player will have the "must have" traits within days, meanwhile, hardcore players will also have the less important traits. (quality>quantity)


TLDR:
lowering AK research duration= more players & balanced pvp
blizzlike duration= rerolling players will be very frustrated both in PvP and PvE (everyone keeps an eye on metters)

If you decide to make getting ap easier, I hope you won't over do it... I personally like grinding it, gives me something to do when there's nothing else going on..

key thing: "YOU PERSONALLY"

not everyone is you

maybe they can make it flexible like xp rate, for the grinders

Eventually all players will complete the AK research. It isn't about getting faster to level 25 knowledge but to keep it balanced over the entire expansion. Think this way : You're in a 100km race and you have to finish it in NO LESS than 3 days. You cheat and drive the entire distance by car. Then what ? You still have to wait at the finish line ~70 hours. My point is , lowering the AP knowledge gain rate is not a solution because it was designed by blizzard to progress along with the content.

There is no reason for them to change it as long as people will pay to have it anyway
