I’m digging through Discourse’s actual patch notes, but I am admittedly not super technically inclined, so I may be missing the proper terminology they’re using to relay that change. But any mention on the forums looks to have taken place after Discourse’s 3.0 release in mid-January.
But just with the Vrak post, it’s mentioning that it is earned all on one character (unless there have been further updates since) to meet that marker, and that the upkeep to maintain that TL should be on that character - but that the perks are shared. Or should be, rather.
And the follow up of browsing the forums and posting for a bit:
It would be great if it’s just a bug, though. I would really like to post on my Druid instead, but I don’t want to have to waste a few weeks to get my TL3 back.
Yes, Trust level 3 can degrade if a person does not keep the requirements up during the rolling 100 day window. We have had quite a few posts here about it. TL2 and below do not degrade.
Just going by what I have seen stated here on the CS forums by Vrak and others and also because me and my lot have it in effect - as evidenced by making my first post on that blood elf priestess of mine. I only normally post on this gal, but I’ve reported bugs and such with other characters and haven’t been hung up without any of the TL3 perks.
Haven’t seen anyone up until now where it’s not the case since I recalled it being brought up in that old CS lounge thread honestly.
That is fair. I would still urge folks who are not being able to access their TL3 across all characters to submit a bug report. At least then it can properly be looked into.
He’s not implying you’re trolling, he’s just reiterating that you’re reinforcing his point that beta access gives all characters TL3 whereas reaching TL3 organically on one character seemingly does not.
i’m not saying you’re trolling… i’m saying there are variables.
not everyones forum account is in the same group.
people who had beta access, had their forum accounts placed into a specific group with different access, so they could post in the beta forum… on any character.
being in that group may have enabled the users to retain account-wide trust levels.
i’m not stating that this is definitely the reason why some users don’t have account-wide trust levels, it was just a theory.
It’s been said several times on here throughout the years that there was a certain expansion beta access (Legion I think) that granted tl3 to all characters on someone’s account.
I’ve had the beta tag on mine forum account for several years now and I don’t have tl3 on all my characters.
i was able to post a gif on a low post count character, so it looks like that one is piggy-backing off my level 3.
i’m just chucking random ideas again (would be nice to get some blue confirmations so we don’t have to play guessing games)
… but are your characters without the tl3 “different” in any way? i was just wondering if there was like a “snapshot” years ago, and characters which didn’t exist or were transferred from another account, may get treated differently?
These new forums weren’t around in Legion but other than that you’re right. If you were in SL beta then you have TL3 on your account forever* on all your characters, even if you take a break for several months or a bit naughty.
