9.1 Pulls the Rip Cord. Proof inside!

That just means the story leads into the 4 covenants attacking the maw/jailer…nothing else.

Dude, can you read?

I literally wrote if the majority wants that and Blizzard decides to do it I’m not gonna get all angry.

Now apologize

That comment doesn’t even make sense but whatever.

You and other people really have to learn to accept that not everyone in this world is gonna share your opinions on everything and that that is fine.

I said I’m not in favor of them pulling the rip cord but that if they do, I won’t be mad if that’s what the majority wants. Deal with it

Well good. Should have happened in the .0 patch.

Answer: You’re making way too much of this. All this means is that the next part of the covenant storylines will all culminate in the Torghast raid, where we see representatives of the four covenants as main characters. If they were going to make a major gameplay overhaul where they “pulled the ripcord,” it would be highlighted somewhere in this press release as a gameplay feature.

Covenants, and their distinct powers, are a main feature of this expansion. They’re not going to dumpster it one patch into the expansion.

Thanks for actually having a point instead of just insulting me.

I think it’d depend on how they actually tell that story whether it makes sense or not for me. I want everyone to be happy with covenants and the abilities they get. I just think (like the loot changes and certain other changes) it’d be coming a bit too late in a way if you know what I mean. It’s something they should’ve done from the beginning when they realized they can’t balance things properly. We all knew this was gonna happen. It just leaves a bitter taste you know?
If they changed this immediately, people would’ve still gone through picking an aesthetic they hate in favor of the better power and vice versa. From a mage perspective - and luckily I really only like frost - people still would’ve chosen Venthyr for ST frost (bad for AoE, fire and arcane), then realized frost mages get benched cause they’re still bad regardless etc. And I know there’s very similar stories for different classes and specs.
If they’re gonna make this change they’ll have to give us more than “surprise, you now get to choose freely”. Being all “meaningful choice la dee da” and then taking it back is simply not enough given how much stress all of this has caused.

Same for raid loot. Why even do this raid tier? I’m not a raider but I feel bad for people who are cause the changes are being added way too late…

Same for m+ loot (and I’m not sure if that change is gonna be sufficient anyway) and the changes they hopefully make to pvp so it’s not an utterly unbalanced mess. It’s all coming way too late

And then we still have the general spec and class imbalances that - at this point - unfortunately can’t be tackled with a “let’s not nerf anyone, let’s just buff everyone to be as op as moonkins and fire mages”

It’s all too little too late.

THey should of made it so the covenant class abilities could of been used as talents. Then made it so a person could use them with any soul bind from their chosen covenant via a conduit.

Signature abilities like soul shape, door of shadows, shield and the swolkin flasks as zone abilities or just kept them as the only abilities distinct to the covenants.

to early to tell if it’s indeed the ripcord… though anyone that knows how lazy blizzard writing is… saw… well, the writing on the wall for the covenants uniting against the big bad.

Is this supposed to be the proof?

What annoys me most about this game is that players get way more creative about how to solve issues than the company they’re paying.

I mean, look at the forums.

People on here are doing Blizzard’s job, some even going as far as calculating everything meticulously. That’s what they should be doing. It shouldn’t be something players even have to think about all the time. Sure, you can always think of something that’d be a bit cooler for any game, but to this extent?

Reaching farther then a Fury Warrior with 6 x Heroic Leaps in PvP.

How is that “proof”, its just like uniting zandalar etc

What are you even talking about? This is referring to a new set of campaign quests.

Players have passion for the game. I’m not taking swipes at Blizzard devs but some players have more passion than they do

Hopefully the zones get merged into one so I don’t have to go through Oribos Interdimensional Airport to get from one zone to the other.

I’m ready to leave 9.X behind and move onto 10 to be totally honest.

This expansion feels really empty to me.

Because nothing can stop an idea on the forums. We can come up with stuff all day long because there’s no bureaucracy or red tape to deal with. I have an idea and I post it and that’s it. I don’t have to run my forum idea’s by a team of other people, consider the cost of developing, testing, and implementing the idea.

I hope so. The ripcord should have been pulled in beta.

Virtually All Players : We hate the Maw.

Blizzard: Great! We are going to have you spend 9.1 in the Maw!
