There was an interview between Morgan Day and Max I believe where in Season 1 alts would get a crest discount once your main crossed thresholds of not needing a type of crest anymore. (eg ilvl 593 all slots = done with weathered crests)
Just tested and doesn’t seem to be in yet or bugged. Thoughts?
It wouldn’t surprise me if it was just more broken promises from blizzard, last thing they want is people enjoying alts.
Yeah this expac is starting to feel like a bait and switch that companies do right before they decide to pack it in.
Not doing the Blizzard doomer thing but its astonishing how uncommunicative and down right dishonest to players they were before the expansion dropped.
Just seeing how long things go unfixed or when something is fun its almost immediately nerfed to become the most tediuos activity.
WoW has managed its way back to World of Systemcraft and have made everything overly convoluted just for the facade of complexity and none of the reward
Also one sweet thing I found.
If you maxed out your renow gear and you found BIS to swap.
Now you only pay for the valor. So no crest cost on that.
So we can replace all our renown gear for only valor cost.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I am not getting any discount for anything (crests or valorstones) on my alts any longer. If we have it on out main it shouldn’t even costs crests on our alts at all IMHO.
somebody had a reddit thread that got deleted because too many people were laughing so mods smelled fun and took away the cookie…but somebody had counted all the known listed bugs, broke them down into categories like “how did this even go through with a billion dollar company?” and “this is going to be a crap show, obviously” as another category lol.
They counted about 600+ bugs, half of which are in what most would consider “game breaking” aka stopping you from progressing, like quest npc’s shifting locations to another part of the story before you can turn them in or quest rewards just not dropping…
they made a followup that also got taken off reddit where they counted 613 bugs now.
If they are right, there are officially MORE bugs now than there were in beta.
It sucks too because it feels like all the youtube peeps are not commenting very much on the pain points. Its starting to feel thats the only way you get something heard nowadays. Its awesome if youre in agreement with them but feels bad when not.
I was told by so many channels that it really was different and our time and money was respected but now it almost feels like a big bait and switch.
Like they dropped the 20th Anni stuff to soften the blow before people hit walls
We need to scream from the rooftops about it
I have always felt like certain tubers for wow are actually just blizzard employees or ex employees. I can’t say I actually believe it, but it certainly feels that way sometimes. I get what you mean.
bruh…
Hard to believe if you’re not going to put in the effort to find the interview.
I haven’t done upgrades in TWW yet, but from Dragonflight Season 4 the discounts were:
+1, my main is over 600 ilvl and can no longer use the entry level crests. My alts who had a valor stone discount available at 580 (before Tuesday) no longer have that, and none of them have any sort of crest upgrade enabled.
Either that catch up mechanic wasn’t intended or it’s completely busted now.
Not sure if you’re referring to me “not putting the effort to find the interview”… but a 15 second google search later:

No crest discount
No cloth drops
“No xp” debuff in 5 mans
And no response from blizzard.
Welcome to we took your money and don’t care.
there is currently a crest discount if you have the Harbinger of the Carved/ Harbinger of the Weathered feats of strength. I have them and my alts only cost 10 crests to get upgrades instead of 15
