Ptr is always subject to change even at the last second.
If none of the classes relyed off covenant and soulbinds then no one would care to join any of them. Blizzard messed with tons of classes and specs to the point they’re unplayable without it.
Either way I still don’t see how cutting our main abilities and passive buffs will make the mage tower any more fun.
I get having a challenge but this is more of a battle of futility.
If they were unplayable without it then how are people getting from level 1 to 50?
I think you’re exaggerating. People join covenants because it’s a necessary step to do anything in the expansion, and because they are all large damage and utility boosts. Your class’ core rotation is still there without the addition lol. Though even if they weren’t, people wouldn’t just not join one when they clearly give things.
Just an odd opinion to me. All my characters are off-meta covenants and I’ve never had an issue not having what people consider ‘required’ even in mythic. You’ll do about 15-20% less damage without them and mage tower is scaled to take in that power loss into account, so no reason to worry really.
1 to 50 is entirely different than 60.
You can trust blizz all you want but I’ve seen thier scaling before and I know the results.
I’m not touching this tower unless I can use covenant and soulbinds and since it would appear that I can’t, then I have no reason doing it.
I’m fine with a challenge, I play the soulsborne series after all. But this is a battle of futility and im not in the mood to be banging my head against the wall doing it.
Better late than never?
Chugga Chugga Chugga Chugga CHOO CHOO!!!
Heck yeah, that’s what I was hoping for but didn’t see that anywhere on the Internet…thank you for confirming! Necro Bug mounts and dead baby arm leather transmog sets here I come!
Why dwell on or live in the past though? Why not just appreciate that we are about to get it?
No you didnt
Yes, I did. The renown catch-up is insane at this point.
Unrated conquest (233) isnt getting upped, it’s staying 233. Low rank honor gear is getting upped, and max rank honor is going from 229 to 233, but none of that fixes the issue that unrated pvpers are still gated at 233 ilvl while i’m running in 259s
Hopefully in 10.0 casual pvp is restored where you dont need to arena to do random bgs like it used to be in cata, mop and wod
I am positive that Void Elves are getting more hair colors.
Nope. That’s staying.
Without this sort of change it’s really not possible to imagine that there has been the sort of game development philosophy that would be needed to fix PvP, and the rest of the game, too.
Night 
Borne Customization 
I’m looking forward to Tuesday! 
I don’t work at Blizzard but I put in WORK when the PvP Brawl is Arathi Basin: Blizzard!
Solo Island expeditions!
I’m jealous you have enough time to have enough alts to go get that book mount……it really is pretty sweet, and I’ll never get it unfortunately…
Which rewards are you going to buy? Anything cool? That 2 sided sword that looks like a purple 2 sided lightsaber thingamajig is cool and only like 50 badges or something I think?
They nerfed the damage of SCK which when combined with bonedust brew made cheap RNG 1 shots happen AND they nerfed the necro shield to be no greater than 30% of the HP shield that many players were using combined with last stand like abilities to give them 60k+ HP shields which made them invincible. Multiple classes had this in PvP and it is completely broken.
When they fix that, everyone will be better off for it, especially the people who didn’t choose that covenant and never had the time or energy to swap covenants and lose all that progress and rewards they made on their first covenant…
Which rewards are ya going for? Some of the mounts there are super sweet, I didn’t get them all but I got the ones I wanted.
I was super disappointed with the seagull, it’s so small….definitely needs to be made 20%+ bigger and then it would be one of my favorites.
I don’t do any endgame stuff, so any time dedicated to what some would use for M+ and raids I use for fooling around on alts 
I think they removed the weapon you’re talking about, but there’s still some cool stuff. As a collector, I’m buying EVERYTHING! But I’m most excited for this set and shield
