You’re still missing that he could have spent the exact same amount of time as you doing Rajani missions & invasions and not gotten anything from it because he did it on a DPS class. Same time, same effort, different rewards under the new system. People usually don’t like that kind of thing.
That is the main point that everyone here is dancing around.
This was the final insult in the long sad history of insults against Warlocks that was BfA. I’m not renewing my sub and may or may not come back in Shadowlands until I read the community feedback.
No one is dancing around anything.
OP is repeatedly yelling an untrue thing, hurting his/her correct position.
Blizzard actually did this is one of the best ways possible. I opened a fresh alt and after doing all this dailies/weeklies once. He bought a R3 essence.
It’s not to easy but its so easy it only takes less then a week per essence and you can do them in mass on alts super easily.
Blizzard might have ruined BFA but this is alright.
People don’t tend to create the most articulate arguments when they’re upset, but can you see where people might think the system is unfair?
I’m set because I did it all on my monk beforehand… but it wasn’t like I was doing it as a tank or healer. Did it almost entirely as a windwalker aside from some world content/visions as BrM for kicks, which means I was spending time doing content as DPS just like a mage/warlock/hunter/rogue but had the opportunity for additional rewards once the DPS essences were done.
That’s great for your alt, but it does absolutely nothing for alts which did not do the Nazjatar opening quest chain, alts of characters who cannot actually unlock the essence that the alt needs, or, especially, people who quit entirely.
BFA caused a massive hemorrhage of the playerbase. Adding a system that does nothing to help recover those players is certainly not the best system possible.
That’s why I replied.
Repeatedly saying a false thing doesn’t help OP’s core argument, which is that the echoes system is bad.
I agree that the echoes system is bad. And I’m even the right class for obtaining the most benefit from it.
Fair enough. Blizzard didn’t lie, for sure… They just created something that I knew from day 1 would make people feel like they’d been treated unfairly.
Blizz has never been too good at people-ing.
Let’s introduce a SYSTEM that doesn’t address the PROBLEM we created, with no testing whatsoever, and then let’s just blanket deny all the tickets that come from it.
All essences should be available to buy and all characters who don’t have all rank 3 essences should have gotten the currency. This would have been a resounding success. Instead, we get this crappy system in place which doesn’t address the actual problem, doesn’t work intuitively, and (in the end) just highlights the actual problem even more.
This was stupid. This whole exercise is just stupid.
I just knew that rerolling to paladin for bfa was finally going to payoff someday. Squeaky wheelchair gets the grease.
You do realize as long as you have Memory of Lucids dream, all you have to do is the 5 quests to go and open the portal right?
Because the essence i bought was that and my alt never went to Nazjatar
If your MAIN quit before essences, all you have to do is go earn EVERYTHING the original way.
You realize that, right?
Good luck finding enough people to carry you through EP six times.
This system is garbage. It doesn’t address the problem. It just creates an alternate grind for essences that barely matter because of how much they are overshadowed by corruptions.
So you’re mad you can’t get things for free even though everyone else had to earn them.
Good thing R3 and R2 memory of lucid dreams is the THREE and only three experience missions for followers.
Open the portal do the dailies for 12 days and you have rank 3.
Also people still run EP weekly and do it on alts all the time.
You are literally just mad no one will carry you or give you free things you never earned once.
Did you earn them on another toon? You have to open them on one toon to get them on the rest.
I have every essence at at least rank 3.
I’m just mad that this system is garbage and Blizzard has failed at every conceivable level on every system they’ve introduced this expansion.
Your ad hominem is sad and proves you have no actual argument.
So then how is this
Because I did it anyway. It’s not that hard to figure out.
Just because I did it doesn’t mean it was fun. Having done it proved to me how not fun is was.
Exactly. It’s account wide. You just haven’t unlocked those essences.
So again how is this failed because you didn’t find it fun? WHY did you do it if it wasn’t fun?
Because essences are mandatory to be viable in all content.
You cannot have fun in anything if you don’t suffer through the essence grind.
