Nothing to solo at lv60?

killz2many · May 2013

So I just hit level 60 today, I went to the auction house to spend all the AD I'd been saving while leveling. I Was able to get my gear rating to 9.4k just with the AD I earned while leveling.

Now. I have nothing to do. I see I can queue for dungeons and PvP (the same pvp I've been doing since level 10) That's great and all, but I've been on for a few hours and have'nt gotten in a dungeon group with a healer. Not to mention most dungeons will give me non-value gear.

I was super excited about this game and talked a lot of my friends into playing and now I'm a bit embarrassed. If I knew endgame content would be this dry and boring I wouldn't have told anyone about it.

Yes the game is fun and I love the foundry idea, but honestly no one uses the foundry at level 60, it's hard to find other players to RP or even form groups with the spam riddled zone chat.

These are some things I would like to see fixed or added soon so that the end game population doesn't drop off like a group of lemmings with a ocean to dive into.

1. End Game Foundry (Daily Quests, Special Queues for certain Foundry's, etc)
2. Fix the queue so that you don't have to keep requeue and quitting groups to find a healer.
3. Create a better spam filter in chat. (Currently you can post the same long annoying message about 5-10 times within a few seconds.)
4. Fix AFK PvP. I understand it will be some time before any new PvP content, so at least don't let the current matches lay in ruins because of exploits.
5. This one is a stretch to ask for but, some solo content for lv 60's Like a zone with daily quests wouldn't hurt.

Maybe there is content I'm missing, in fact I really hope I'm missing something here. Please let me know, if anyone has seen some good dev postings that may encourage me to even continue playing I would love to see them.

I'd like some stuff to do, solo, at level 60. Even if it involved being able to replay level 60 versions of previous instances, it'd still be something to do, and keep me engaged more.

The very hit-or-miss nature of PUGs and the queue system makes dungeons a HAMSTER shoot. Maybe add an alternate queue system, (let's call it a "balanced team queue") - the various classes would be grouped into one or more of the traditional roles, like GFs and GWFs could fill the tank slot, and TRs and GWFs could fill the DPS roll, and have the queue want at least one from each before launching...

end game is really lacking atm. The game stops being an MMO at lvl60. There is no reason to visit the various zones again. You just sit in Protector Enclave doing instances. Its a really short and limited content game

I'm starting to feel like they just got their cash from the founders pack and cash from the people buying store items and now they'll run with our money at level 60

Please fix GF so we can get our tanks in there where they need to be!

This is the biggest issue with the game so far. Every time someone hits Level 60 they start asking people in the chat (So what do i do now?)

There are many ways this can be fixed. Just look at other games.

The Epic stuff is pretty cool but we need something to do while we wait for the queue.

Till then i really cant find a reason to keep playing besides making another class but then im left with the same problem. It Takes like 2-3 weeks and your level 60. I didn't spend any money but i cant imagine how id feel if i did.

i think its the best game ive played so far. But what now?

Hmm. Wonder how long till Gauntlgrym (sp?) is opened up. And what all content it'll have.

Well, though this news doesn't shock me. It certainly does disappointing me. I've been hanging on with every little bit I have left, trying to do level 60 foundry quests (no real rewards, no-one willing to group for fun with them) queued for several failed dungeon groups (most people just want to see a party of clerics, and wizards or rogues) I suppose I have crafting, but considering the crafting mechanic is a wait around mechanic (just like the rest of level 60) I find that all I can do in this game is afk until I see a pop. Which usually doesn't mean much considering I'm probably joining a group with 3 wizards and a rogue.

I'd love to see some solo content to get profession materials. Like the solo dungeons you got to do while leveling.

This will be magical.

Ah yes, solo content in a massively multiplayer game.

I solo'd my toon to 60 since it's a hassle to group up while leveling, it was boring, mind numbingly boring.

If the devs spend time making content that is played like a single player game all I can do is SMH.

Couldn't you just go run grey wolf den at level 60 on normal difficulty or something (honest question i've never tried)?

lol, there's tons of epic dungeons to progress through. Just ask for a group in Zone chat, it's a social game so that shouldn't be a wall for you.. Then there's PvP like you said, tons of founder quests with great story (some even better than the cryptic ones). You have professions aswell to max out. After you've done all the above we will probably see the first content patch, and you'll repeat the same process again but with new content. Oh and the foundry will never run dry on stuff to do in.

Yes, like most MMOs have these days. Because they realize that people like to do a variety of things, not just chain-run 5-man dungeons.

(honestly, in the years I played WoW - vanilla through Cataclysm - I probably did less than 100 dungeon runs total, including solo-running dungeons I outleveled. I know I didn't even see a majority of the dungeons in BC or Wrath, and none of the ones in Cata. And I avoided pvp after vanilla. Still, there was plenty to do. Including questing 8-10 alts to various high levels.)
