Only Three Layers of Torghast Available at Shadowlands Launch

Note: It's currently unclear whether or not you can craft a Legendary week 1, as Blizzard has recently tuned Soul Ash drops from quests. However, this change will slow down Soul Ash acquisition.

Layer #

Reward

Layers 1 - 3 will unlock at launch, after the first weekly reset.

Layers 4 - 6 will unlock on Castle Nathria Launch.

Layers 7 - 8 will unlock on Mythic Nathria Launch.

So, this is something that players haven't seen on beta yet, because of the state the beta servers are at with unlocks. We'll only have the first three layers of Torghast available at launch. Layers four through six will open when Nathria opens and the season starts. Layers seven and eight will become available the following week, alongside Mythic Nathria and everything else. And yes, the intent is certainly that the high layers will require higher gear levels. Of course, the very best players will be able to overcome those hurdles as they do everywhere. But there is a progression we are trying to build towards with Torghast. Wowhead's Exclusive interview with Ion Hazzikostas - Class Balance, Covenants, Season 1

Comment by Fathommgamingits a shame people need to rush everything or they wouldn't have to do this.Comment by Troy2SlickMy mood: "WHAT THE HECK?"
also my mood: "thank *!@# for not having to grind through 8 layers with leveling gear on week 1"

Bigger question is why wait 5 days before launch to announce this?Comment by LanlinGasp! Oh no the are time gating the first 3 weeks of Torghast so no one screws up and can be on the same level as everyone else? NO WAY!...Seriously the playerbase is nothing but prima donna's.Comment by Labambaprinceits a shame people need to rush everything or they wouldn't have to do this.Comment by tcoeIts more like, they don't have anything to give us so they are stretching what they got and crossing there fingers we wont notice.Comment by PanasopI mean tbh i wasn't expecting to even get to lvl 60 by the first week because, y'know, other things to do and such but this feels likes an unnecessary change. If players reach level 60 by the first week they should at least have something to do, and sitting around with their thumbs up their you-know-whats feels like a failure to capitalize on player time. Why is Blizzard insistent on time gating every piece of content they release. This is worse than Destiny 2 Time gating, because at least timegating in D2 has a purpose and a logical in-game explanation.Comment by Flakkaif people love it or hate it only depends on what type of player they are. You can't please all, but I love this :)Comment by Shamalamam99% of people complaining about this wouldn't have been able to get past layer 3 on launch anyway, so you're - as usual - complaining for the sake of complaining. If they hadn't staggered the release, you'd whine and cry about how overtuned it is and how you can't complete anything above layer 3 without more gear, etc. This is literally done to save you time, instead of forcing you to clear 54 floors of Torghast per character during the first week, with each layer taking about 30 minutes, so about 4.5 hours of mandatory content for each character you intend to play.

There's literally no winning with people whose only goal in life is to complain at every opportunity they get. They offered refunds, if you're so upset, act. No one cares about your constant whining and crying which is facetious and done for attention, nothing else. Take your crocodile tears elsewhere, it's getting old to watch casuals cry at literally everything, no matter what and despite the fact that they have no idea what they are crying about, or what their stance is meant to be.Comment by Raybezewhy can't we just allow players to play how they'd like?

why must every single aspect of the game be funneled through a slow lane?

i simply don't understand.... i have no intention of doing this content fast but just allow those that want it to do so.Comment by jacho981"Torghast tower will be infinite, and every floor will be different".

Torghast tower has 18 floors. They all are the same.Comment by Squizzlethis is a freakin joke. there is already barely anything to do the first 2 weeks and there are 33 hours to level up to 60. what exactly are we supposed to do the whole timeComment by couchpotato2013They're really doing everything possible to make the WF race go over Christmas.Comment by Nazamberits a shame people need to rush everything or they wouldn't have to do this.Comment by NazamberThey're really doing everything possible to make the WF race go over Christmas.Comment by lovs2buildAnd so it begins.Comment by slemaireGood call.

No issues, whatsoever.

As a side note: For those who have not attempted/completed a layer 8 in Torghast, good luck in first trying to get past a layer 6 or 7 with the minimal gear you will have in week 1! I suspect some people might find layer 3 a challenge to complete, until they get more gear.

There will be plenty of other things to do, while you gear up for when the next set of layers opens up.

Not too worried.Comment by CoreldannI like it. After leveling up and finding gear at max level, I dont have to sacrifice my relationship bu running torghast rest of the week :P Pretty sure ive had plenty of wow for one week at that point :PComment by NimbeeI'm having trouble reconciling Ion's statement with the author's breakdown.

Ion stated: "We'll only have the first three layers of Torghast available at launch."Layers 1 - 3 will unlock at launch, after the first weekly reset.Comment by Weryxworld of timegated content, shadowland edition99% of people complaining about this wouldn't have been able to get past layer 3 on launch anyway, so you're - as usual - complaining for the sake of complaining.
