Another "Veilstrider" like title

“Veilstrider” as a concept was a good idea for a title as it showed that you did complete the current expansion (Shadowlands for Veilstrider). You saw all the stories. You grinded all the reps. You did all the things, and I think a new “Strider” style title would be a good idea for Dragonflight.

The only thing is instead of removing the title completely when the next expansion comes out, they change the achievement to give a different title. You have the “Strider” style of title for doing what it asks when the content is current and “difficult” and then a seperate title for doing the same things but when its easier.

It wouod encourage people to go back and do old content while also encouraging people to try and do current content. It seems like a win-win.

There are still a lot of titles you get in the process of having done Veilstrider, and those are still in the game. The head scratcher is why was Maw Walker not the meta title? You can still get that one, by the way.

Would Veilstrider holders automatically receive the second title as well?

Anyways, Veilstrider was a decent concept but was terribly executed. Allowing bad RNG to block people from achieving it was not a good thing.

Also, if I want to prove I did a thing at a time, I can just link my achievements to prove that.

I would wager there are a good handful of titles that can be got if they did the dragonflight equivalent, four for each renown plus dragonflying race titles.

They would yes. So for shadowlands they would have Veilstrider and then when the 2nd achievement replaced the other one they would have the other title as well. The achievement for Veilatrider would become a Feat of Strenth so they didnt lose the 1st title.

And yeah, I remember the blownup over the Stitchworks RNG. Two of my friends got screwed out of the title because of it and my wife almost did.

The only people who fell victim to RNG were those people who waited until the last possible second to start it.

Anyone who started veilstrider when the title was announced (in may 2022) had no issues completing it far in advance of DF launching in November 2022.

There was an issue where one of the Stitchworks quests didnt show up again for 4 months, as they werw RNG based instead of just going down a list.

It was fine, just announce it earlier. :dracthyr_love_animated: Also Azeroth’s Champion was better.

I prefer the path of “don’t lock time-sensitive things behind bad RNG” :slight_smile:

I mean don’t wait too long to do it too. But I do agree that compared to all the other covenant achieves, the stitchflesh one was too much. Should have just been get all the abominations.

I’m also sure there’s going to be a DF version of veilstrider since there was one in bfa too. I’ve been doing achieves that I think will be part of it.

No it wasn’t. There’s no reason to delete a title achievement because someone wasn’t there. It’s just a title for doing all the content. It’s not a challenge mode. They removed an incentive to go back and complete all of that content later. It was a poor choice. So was never actually telling anyone officially until the last minute that it definitely was being removed.

He’s one of them rangers. Dangerous folk they are — wandering the wilds . What his right name is I’ve never heard, but around here, he’s known as Strider.

Did you even read the rest of my post? I specifically asked for two versions of the same title, one for doing the content when it was current and another for after the expansion js no longer current.

I prefer it that way. Maw walker sounds cooler and more fitting for the expansion. I’d go out of my way to get that if it was going away. When I heard “Veilstrider” was going away I was like “I wouldn’t use that title anyway” makes me feel like I’m a waterwalk mount lol …

Yeah, you get a cool little title for playing stuff when current. That’s fine. :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated: It’s not a mount, mog, etc.

I tried to tell people it had all the marks of something that was temporary and to start on it asap.

Ew, any fomo is gross. But they’ll probably give you what you’re asking for because of how predatory they are.

I missed Veilstrider because I didn’t kill two bosses in Sanctum of Domination.

Or just leave it in.

Removing Veilstrider was cringe.

Yes. And it’s still a crap idea. No one should lose out on a title because they weren’t there for open world content. It’s not a challenege mode.

It’s not.

Irrelevant. Blizz didn’t announce it until late.

My 2 cents: im completely against removing things from the game. Either you do the content or you dont. When should not be a factor.

Removing titles is like the only fomo I don’t care if they do, cuz it’s like a word or two

But I’m also not against un-removing the them
