Tarragrue Will be A Raid Boss and Removed from Torghast in Patch 9.1

Recommended Posts

J4wvjvC.jpg

The gruesome Tarragrue that spawns after you die too many times in Torghast will be a raid boss in Chains of Domination. As a result, he and the death count mechanic will be removed altogether from the Tower of the Damned.

Blizzard isn't pleased with players spending hours running Torghast and failing the run without getting any Soul Ash, so they are working on improvements that they hope to implement in Patch 9.1.

Chains of Domination comes with a new raid located in the Maw, and the Tarragrue will be a boss there, so logically, the NPC should no longer be found in Torghast and limiting your runs. Blizzard is replacing the death count mechanic with an overall Torghast score, so even if you "fail" a run, you will still receive some Soul Ash and won't end up empty-handed.

Other Torghast improvements coming in Patch 9.1 include a completely new wing, enemies, and probably rewards.

Patch 9.1 should hit test servers really soon, so check out our 9.1 hub to learn more about what to expect in the first major content update for Shadowlands.

More like Blizzard isn't happy that more people aren't doing Torghast.

Same thing for the changes to the Maw. A futile attempt to get more people to go there. The devs seem to be totally clueless as to why people don't want to go to a barren zone with absolutely squat to do in it.

All Blizz needed to do was have Torghast drop 1 piece of gear (even just 1 piece a week) and it would have been the perfect time killer for the casual player.  But since most casual players dont have the gold/time/ effort to get a legendary  Torghast is pointless for them

My goal in Torghast is only to get whatever Memory I need for a toon (if indeed it drops there), obtain the minimum Soul Ash required to craft/upgrade a legendary, and then never go back. I don't hate doing it as much as some people, but it is definitely not fun. And Twisting Corridors? No thank you. I did it on one toon, failed around floor 16, and will never run it again no matter what they do with it. 6 floors already sucks. Why the hell anyone would want to do 18 floors is genuinely beyond my comprehension.

My guildies and I call it Choreghast for a reason. I don't absolutely hate it... but I can think of better things to do with my time. Only reason I go in is to get my soul ash and whatever leggos that I may need. Otherwise.. nope.

144 floors, even.   And yes, I did it.

The only real reason is challenge.  It was a personal challenge to see if I have 'mastered' the solo aspect of the game.  If I can do 144 floors without meeting the Tarragrue once, then I am 'done' all soloable content in 9.0 and can wait for 9.1 feeling like I'm done.

But I absolutely hated that it took as many hours as it did.  144 floors was pointless; there wasn't any real challenge for me until about the seventh layer (so floors 109 onward)... the rest of the time I only ever died to falling off chains rather than any meaningful sense of progression.   The layers with no rewards were really a waste.

So my advise to most rational people: don't do it.  It's not actually fun unless Blizzard improves it in 9.1

Literally that one piece of gear was what made me play Visions in BFA and even go for a 5 masks runs. Just to get this 1 weekly item. I don't get why they couldn't make it so for Torghast. Even something like a 213 item once a week for completing the 8th floor would be nice and would bring a lot of casuals to the tower.

I think the simple truth is that Torghast is nowhere near as much fun or as popular as Blizz envisioned.  It's a repetive slog, a grind, and people are already getting pissed off with it.  The PUG experience in Torghast is not fun in the slightest and soloing it is just mind-numbingly repetitive.

 

The Tarragrue was just the icing on the cake.  "Hey, looks like you're having problems with Torghast! Here, have another problem to make this EVEN. LESS. FUN!"

I actually had a bit of fun with TC. Your problem is only doing 1 attempt, failing around floor 16 and never doing it again. TC requires completely different tactics than the normal runs you're used to. Health suddenly becomes so much more important and builds that you don't have time to get on normal runs are suddenly a thing in TC.  My very first attempt at TC layer 1 ended exactly the same as yours simply because I got surprised by how different it works. But the fact that you can actually complete these big builds and even improve on them in TC is very satisfying.

The problem I had with it was that every layer in TC almost feels the same. The first layer was nice to get into the new playstyle. But layers 2-6 all felt exactly the same. It was layer 7 and 8 that finally gave me a bit of challenge to complete them, all the other layers were just a (long) walk in the park.

I don't have a problem. The content isn't fun. If it's not fun, why would I continue to play it? This is subjective, so maybe for you it was fun or rewarding to go back and try again, but for me it was boring, irritating, and annoying to the point that I have no interest in ever experiencing it again. I'm not averse to challenging content at all, but TC was the biggest suckfest I've experienced in a game that I can remember.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
