I don't remember this being a thing for some reason. Why I said "the change to dungeon questing."

Was it always like this, and I'm just losing my mind?

Wait... what are they doing? I am still unable to complete lower level dungeon quests. Is something happening in the future?

I can only speak from Area 52 experience. Which realm are you playing on?

Area 52 here as well. I might have jumped the gun, but your comment made it seem like they were going to enable gaining quest XP and progress from grey level mobs in instances?

Pardon me if I misunderstood.

Wow I don't know if you all took my idea for this to become a thing, and if so i want to thank you!! that is so awesome! I know it sounds pointless but thank you so very much Ascension Staff!

@Titanborn Also Hard Casting has positional/range/pushback requirements the others do not. We currently have to spend 3 points to extend range, 3 points to eliminate pushback and take talents to kite or gain enough distance were we can stand still for 3-6 seconds to cast and not instantly die.

Melee takes charge and spends there points on extra damage.....Stevie Wonder could see its not balanced.

Just give us range or eliminate pushback and take your foot off our throats dps wise. Those classic spells need to do more than 120 damage at lvl 60 and you know it. Frost and Shadow need like a 20% buff at minimum to be even remotely viable in pvp. Currently the only playable Hard Casting ME in pvp is Holy Acention or Hydromancer when you cheese the mechanics with rank 1 frost bolts.

@catcake while I don't know much about manastorm, I was hoping to avoid the server cost of instancing by just randomizing the quests; I'm just guessing that instances cost more server power than no instances, but I have no clue how they host the game.

I've always found grouping with random people in the world to be clunky due to the need to explicitly invite and the fact that looting defaults to needing to roll for everything. That kind of stuff can slow down gameplay a little.

I wasn't looking to reinvent the wheel or create some amazing idea, but just refine and improve a 'sticky' part of the game for me. I don't know for sure, but I've heard that WoW implemented something from Guild Wars 2 where players automatically group together if they're in close proximity? This would completely fix everything if done the same way.

Completely agree with OP. Even if probably wont ever be an option aside from prestige quest or whatever that gamemode is called.

survivalist mode is really awful, your hunger/thirst goes up way too fast and then you have to sit there and eat for a minute or so because the hunger degrades sooooooo slowly. They really could make it where you can actually play the game for longer than a full minute or two before you're "starving".

@Dreassil I love your idea and would love to see a dps bear as well. My idea would be to make a "One with the Earth" or "One with the Land" to confuse everyone using the OWTL acronym build that would function similar to OWTL. You could have it take the armor bonus and threat from bear form and allow the use of lighting/earth shocks or just all the earthly elements. Then the thunder hide, stormsmash, and voltaic bite would have dps synergy with all the talents already available. It could also function similar to shadow bear would it makes your attacks do nature damage in leu of shadow or holy, as with OWTL. Maybe even make a healing bear, or "cenarion" form where you hold aggro my healing the party/raid. When you tank you already take the place of a dps, so why not tank and heal at the same time?

@Shadowman Honestly bro, what does it matter its nerfed now due to people complaining taking away once again another viable build. They're just as bad as blizzard dev's, so things like defias gunslinger, Apostle of Eradeath, Heavyweight, Dark Ranger, Especially people two shotting with Hydromancer, i absolutely loved my wind hoplite for them to reduce it to nothing. So as far as i'm concerned don't fall in love with any of your builds because they'll find a way to completely ruin it. They will push whatever new builds and nerf your old builds to push people to play their new trash... really dissapointing.
