The Tower Torghast in WoW: Shadowlands is popular among many players. But the ending is disappointing.
WoW: Shadowlands has been live for over a week now, and most players have left the leveling phase behind and have reached the endgame. Especially visits to the Tower Torghast are regularly on the agenda, to craft legendary items. But as much as Torghast is praised, the ending feels unsatisfying – at least that is what many players in the WoW subreddit think.
What is the problem? Torghast inundates players with cool abilities and challenging tasks that become increasingly exciting and demanding towards the end. However, the end comes without a cool climax. Instead of a summary of achievements or a chest containing loot, there is only the “Leave” screen at the end. This is quite unsatisfying and leaves a feeling of emptiness.
What players are saying: In the WoW subreddit, there is lively discussion about Torghast. A post by user Roar_of_Shiva has over 5,000 upvotes and a 99% approval rate. He writes:
It feels quite anticlimactic when you finish a run and are simply ejected from the tower. A recap screen would significantly enhance the experience of the tower, showing you what Anima powers you had, how many enemies you killed, and how much damage and healing you dealt.
There is a lot of agreement on this, along with further suggestions for improvement, such as from Erva420:
Yes, and it’s also strange that you kill the boss and nothing really happens. You simply go out through the portal. I mean, these are really the basics of roguelike games. Come on, Blizz.
The desire for a chest or similar conclusion is great, even if this chest only contains the Soul Ash that the boss would otherwise drop. Thus, Sheth1984 notes, receiving much agreement:
Lol, it’s fascinating and at the same time a psychological fact that a big fat chest with Soul Ash would fix this, haha.
Is more to come? Torghast is still not fully present in the game. The last section, the “Twisted Corridors,” will only appear with the start of Season 1. The Twisted Corridors are 18 levels each instead of just 6, making for a longer endeavor. At the same time, you cannot earn Soul Ash here, but you can get plenty of cosmetic rewards, such as pets, toys, and even mounts.
Would you like a different “conclusion” for the Torghast runs? What do you think the perfect ending would look like?
Our author Alexander Leitsch really likes Shadowlands – even if he has no clue what he’s actually doing.
