Thread: 4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

This fight allows the devs unrestricted creativity with mechanics, while providing a long-term goal for even themost hardcore players. While Ultimate exists, very few players can say they are done with the content and they will always have something more to do. Whether they choose to do it or not is up to them. People complain about content life span in this game, but Ultimate is a long term investment that will keep people busy far longer than any other piece of content in this patch.

How exactly will this content last longer than any other content? I'm sorry, but I don't think that one (re-hached even) encounter is going to keep anyone playing. What about the people that don't enjoy raiding? Where is the content that would keep them playing until the next patch? Correct me if I'm wrong, but why would anyone who doesn't care about O1 Savage be motivated by an encounter that they have no interest in and that is locked behind several encounters they have no interest in. As for the devs having "unresticted creativity with mechanics", what have stopped them from that in any of the other encounters and dungeons? Also, one can say that they're done with the content whenever the content that they're interested in runs dry. I've never done LoV, but I still consider myself having played through this games content.

This "ultimate" difficulty level is a gimmicky response to try and satisfy less than 1% of the playerbase that was complaining about a lack of content that was hard enough.
