No Torghast Leveling in 9.1 - Strong Possibility as a .5 Patch Addition

I actually love that idea. I don't think it's something we will do for 9.1, but it feels like a great addition for one of the .5 updates.

Comment by Mardux11This would be awesome. Love Torghast. But no need to run in multiple times.Comment by Mardux11What I don't understand is how they force players to grind torghast twice a week to cap their soul ash, which can't be done in Twisting Corridors either. They literally have a power system in the game right now that works wonders, valor for mythic+.

A similar seasonal cap for soul ash that increases every week would allow players to not fall massively behind when a new legendary becomes BIS, and removes the feeling of doing a weekly chore on every alt. We would run Torghast the same number of times but it wouldn't feel like a forced grind.

Why is this freedom allowed in Mythic+ (way more impactful for power progression) and not their signature expansion feature?

I can't help but campare SL legendaries to Legion. Not only could you get them from any kind of content, they didn't cost tens of thousands of gold, you could wear two at once and they generally had more interesting effects, you could freely swap them out for another because they were the same ilvl.Comment by Ant343Naah it seems too fun to be a thing.Comment by MayiaYeah these new systems need to have more overlap.. give badges and/or anima power as well as soulash.. make it worth while to do torghuast for one reason but moderately worth for others, then others can have shared resources..
I do love the idea of leveling in there though.Comment by ColdleoLet me just make your next news article and save everyone some heartbreak

"We wont be able to get it out for 9.1.5, but we would love to see it happen"Comment by Moiraleyim not mad or angry i just dont get it. Is it way harder to implement than leveling through island expeditions? Are they afraid it might get the best way to level? And if so who cares if my 11th alt takes half an hour less than the others?
It sounded like he heard that for the first time - and i dont buy that. They have been asked that in interviews before, even in beta folks already asked for leveling in torghast.

Thats one of the things that wouldn't hurt anyone but make some folks quite happy. Folks like me.

And tbh even if it would come with a .5 patch - who knows when such a patch would come. No need to implement torghast leveling with 9.3.5...especially if it comes in 1,5 years or soComment by MrSkullcandyHow about we finally get rid of the timegating of soulashe?Comment by YvaelleThis sounds like a good idea on paper but in practice I don't think Torghast would make good leveling content. It would basically be either a long, big mob farm or people would speed run to the end of the floor for a burst of completion exp. People would use/avoid it based purely on it's leveling efficiency rather than because they want to level by climbing floors in the tower.Comment by wuzzleI am not exactly sure how another way of leveling will compell me to do so anyways. The hard part is not getting the levels, the hard part is the gearing/progression/treadmills afterwards that make leveling sad in the first place...
