Something worth thinking about is if you wanna swap back to a covenant, doing it on a Monday is the way to do it. You swap Monday, go through the stuff, log off, pop on Tuesday, fill the second blue bar, and you win.

Putting a system in place and saying “don’t use it” is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read in my life . But what would I expect from the forums LOL

The higher penalty for switching Covenants and trying to rejoin your old one was intentionally stated by Blizzard. Forum opinion had nothing to do with it.

Clearly , I’m saying the ignorant comment saying “don’t use it”… it’s just like saying “oh someone discriminated against you?” “Just try to not be discriminated against idiot!” Like so ignorant

But you replied after this…
And yeah, Blizzard was very clear that if you choose to rejoin the old Covenant then you’d have to work harder to get back in. Then you created a thread complaining about it. If you don’t like the clearly stated penalty, then…
Except, in your analogy, someone else chose to discriminate against you - you can’t control that.
In your current predicament, you chose to swap covenants (for at least the 2nd time) and chose to deal with the consequences. Now, deal with them.
But I was referring to the other comments… regardless of where I replied … but thanks for replying I guess I missed the blizz update I’ll just level another character

You can actually swap in one day depending on when you swap. If you accept the quest before the reset, do like 2 dungeons and a world quest, turn it in, and then accept the quest after the reset, you have effectively swapped back in one day.
Also, in general, make sure to always take the quest to rejoin your old covenant in Oribos after you swap. Then whenever you want to, if you want to go back, you can.
I’ve swapped like 4 times now between Kyrian and Venthyr because I like both their abilities

The system exists to preserve some semblance of having a choice have actual merits and impacts without actually being overly punishing. The game has had too few and too little consequence for far too long in this space. For a choice to have meaning, it has to have weight and consequence behind it.
From a practical stance, I see covenants as the first step in Blizzard attempting to shut the pandora’s box they opened and left open for far too long. Ultra tryhards have made this game an unbearable mess of min max or die where we are now at the point where entire specs and/or talents are automatically shunned from content because some tryhard spreadsheet somewhere says so regardless if the content actually merits such min max performance to be completed.
Blizzard is getting us (somewhat) back to being used to the idea that some decisions stick and it’s actually ok to not be perfectly itemized and min maxed for every situation at every moment. That and they enjoy the extra playtime it generates (not to mention it’ll be super easy to remove and then claim they “enhanced” the game).

Not true. I’m using a venthyr weapon right now, whilst in Necrolords covenant.

You can absolutely use prior covenant weapons, there was a bug where you couldn’t mog them (since fixed) but that’s it.
Sincerely, Necrolord druid who went Kyrian and then went NF and will be going back to Kyrian.
You seem like a lovely person
