Glass✭✭✭It is such an easy mechanic. It only takes a couple of seconds, i don't see how can be such a deal.29 -
FlyingSwan✭✭✭✭✭It's done in about 10 seconds. Makes a change from the usual face roll bosses in 4 man content.21 -

✭✭✭I think it's cute but I don't want it during the fight. I'd prefer if it were a bonus activity during the dungeonIGN @ emilypumpkin

✭The skeevaton mechanic is fine even on HM where it does take significantly more time to complete... it's the 60% defile debuff that pisses me off.PC/NA - Nightfighters, Raid Leader and Officer

AlboMalefica✭✭✭✭Honestly I do love it when they do these weird & out there mechs, it does keep things interesting.Edited by AlboMalefica on March 16, 2019 10:02PM17

✭Rather nice vs just watching everything get burned before you even get a chance to observe any mechanics.There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man, true nobility is being superior to your former self

iceman784✭✭✭This game could use some variety of mechanics. You can choose to go do some other dungeons if you dont like this one3

✭✭✭✭This is a mechanic that is vaguely comprehensible and doesn’t require a third party video to explain, both of which are good things. It’s a little irritating in that you can get into situations where your skeveton is not dead but is unreachable and can’t be helped. And, yes, it’s a bit funfair on rails, but the game has a number of situations and storylines where you become another character, machine or sprite, so it fits into the spirit of those situations.
If I wanted to nominate a crap mechanic that is incomprehensible and rubbish, I’d go for the King Naralmar fight in DoM. Is there anyone not involved in the development of that who has the faintest clue wtf is going on there? No one knows. All the solutions I’ve seen are variations on the ‘just nuke it’ theme.
A good mechanic should be clearly understandable (not necessarily immediately understandable and not necessarily simple). The challenge should be determining how to deal with it and executing that plan effectively, not trying to work out wtf is going on.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭I suppose you love Tarcyr, then?
Skeevaton mechanic on HM is far, far better than Tarcyr. And my favorite part of Wrathstone. Non-HM skeevaton is pretty meh, though.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

✭✭✭✭✭It makes this one hungry. all the mice running around.
However its different
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.2 -
GlorphNoldorin✭✭✭✭✭While I don't mind the skeevaton phase at all, its pretty sad that this is the line ZOA devs think the game needs to go to be challenging/interesting. They are so out of touch or under funded.
The fact that frostvault is almost a rehash of vHOF shows they really cant come up with anything new.
Of course it's a whole other discussion about one shot mechanics, 80%+ defiles.......yeah that stuff is all fun as well.4 -

✭✭✭Not a huge fan myself. Mostly because I'm not sure what I'm looking for when I go in there. Most of the time I'm with people who do the things first, so I just kind of wander aimlessly for a few seconds.1 -
MakeMeUhSamich✭✭✭✭✭I mean, different strokes for different folks, I guess. Seems seriously goofy and childish to me. Felt like an arcade game from 1985.1
