I got the heroic one cuz of the mount, cuz the mount is gonna be on the shop for like $25 bucks anyway… and the extra $20 for 3 days i dont really care, since its probably gonna be buggy anyway plus im not in a rush
Really the main thing that made it worth it. Mount + gametime covers the extra cost for Heroic version, everything is just bonus
None of that really matters in terms of the experience of the player missing out on those 3 days. Still feels bad and introduces negative feelings into what would otherwise be positive hype for the launch.

You dont get game time with heroic its only the epic one i think
Ah well, that’s what I got then I think, looked overpriced until looked at everything it came with, figured who cares it’s once every few years
Those aren’t meaningful, long term, progression advantages
I’m also not even sure we know how exactly reputation will work in WW, and farming materials? Who cares. Materials respawn and you’ll still be able to collect them when you start playing.
I’m still trying to figure out what your issue is with this. You admitted you already bought it and will be there, so you’re not fundamentally against it as much as you like to portray you are. Season 1 didn’t begin for 2 weeks after DF’s release so people who are seriously into progression content will have plenty of time to “catch up” before their content releases.
This is a non-factor.
If you think about it, epic comes with game time which is $15 bucks, plus some other stuff, so you really paying like $5 … im pre paid for the next 13 months with tokens so i dont need game time
So if it doesn’t matter then why have it available?
Full disclosure: I bought the $90 package.
That said, I doubt I’ll try to get in during those first three days. The game is always buggy and lagging. Maybe on the third day, but only if work allows for it. I bought $90 for the stuff iirc. I bought the pre-order SL package and I really loved that hearthstone. I was hoping this new Hearth would be as cool (it’s not, but it is on brand for my shaman) and the Gryphon is nice as well.
I don’t M+ since S1 of Shadowlands, and I don’t really raid except for an occasional LFD. This is my main, you can check the records. I PVP, but there’s not going to be PVP in those three days, or even that first week. I’m also in the 1200s so it’s not like I’m gaining a great advantage. I don’t use addons.
I don’t see what the big deal is. If nothing else, the starting zones will be a little more accessible.
Yea, I did the 6 month promotion for mount, then they turn around and released the year one
Because it makes the company more money?
The better question is still why you don’t think it belongs in the game when it’s conveying no long term competitive advantage?
Blizzard included it because they make more money from people who want to buy it, you don’t want it included because… it doesn’t feel right? Okay well that’s a pretty meaningless reason.
So then why do you want it in the game? Are you a spokesperson for blizzard? Wipe that off your chin there bud

You can still do the one year, just cancel your 6 months sub, which you will still have credit, and then sub again for the year , so you will have 1.5 year sub worth, or what ever you have left from the 6 moths
My stance is I don’t care that it’s in the game because it doesn’t actually affect gameplay or provide any advantages, so whether it’s in the game or not doesn’t matter to me, and shouldn’t matter to anyone.
Your stance is that it shouldn’t be in the game, so I want you to tell me why it shouldn’t be, yet you can’t. That’s why you’re resorting to troll comments about how I have something from Blizzard on my chin?
I agree. Especially since the player base usually splits after the first night anyway when nothings working. Then the people who took off get to play during the day while those who didn’t have to work.
Already gave reasons, you just keep regurgitating the game thing over and over. The 3 day head start to leveling is an advantage in its own. If you can’t see that you’re blind.
In the end it just hurts the integrity of the game.
Ok now follow your train of thought a bit further… Foresight seems to be the issue. Unemployed and Streamers hit max level inside 3 days and move into the best gear available by the time week 1 hits… Semi-casuals with the 3 day head start might squeak into available BiS by week one, casuals and those that work a lot likely will not.
Those without the three-day head start, only the hardcore players likely have max gear by season start… Now M Plus opens and an Elite tier emerges of people right out of the gates that had three more days to farm heroics and they take a clear lead in the key climb and immediately start declining invites to anyone that didnt…
PvP day one PvP is a massacre to anyone that didn’t have max time to farm heroics, craft gear and farm any other trinket or whatever item provides an advantage… That will be loads of fun for everyone when they are getting Zero’d in a few days if not the entire week because that advantage translates to more wins for the 3 day early people which means more currency and more gear… This rolls several weeks until everyone hits whatever time gate is in place.
And this is only the impacts off the top of my head…there will be all kinds of quirky advantages that com out as we get more information on the systems of the Xpac.
Besides laughing at people that are riled over it it doesn’t bother me at all.
People are so soft today it’s incredible.

It doesn’t hurt the integrity of the game, that’s just your opinion that you don’t seem capable of backing up.
Leveling is an advantage? Yeah, someone can hit level cap faster and then… wait for progression content to come out? By then everyone else is caught up?
“Leveling” as an advantage lasts until about Wednesday of launch week. By then, everyone who wants to be level capped is level capped, the rest don’t care. So if the people who are disadvantaged beyond 3-5 days don’t care, why do you?
cant wait to see all the gamebreakin exploits in early access. its gonna be such hell lol on these forums lol.
