Yes.

I don’t know sht, don’t care about it, and never have.

Hell I don’t even know who the characters in this game are.

When I hear covenants I think of law. And the rest I’m just confused and don’t care enough about to find out.

That’s the beauty of the internet - some extreme min maxxers will figure it all out and I’ll just read what they say and I’m good to go.

You are disowned. :nauseated_face:

But now I can never roll a classic toon, for I have been cast out. :cry:

Don’t let them fool you.

The anti-panda / anti-vulerpan thing is just a cover.

Rip bonus rolls, I won’t miss you.

Also 1600 for 213 gear. Interesting

Oooofff I dunno… Bonus rolls were the one thing that I didn’t mind, gave you some agency on what you were aiming for (kinda like PvP vendors you know)… They really are going full bore and gutting loot drops this expansion holy moly. It’s gonna hit people like a brick wall in SL.

Not sure how I feel about the 1600 thing. The whole gear behind rating thing. Just incentives people to only play meta comps because they wanna push rating for gear. I just wanna play whatever I enjoy playing.

I feel like bonus rolls are more important when youre RNG hoping for your piece to drop while hoping RNG blesses you with the right secondary stats while praying to RNGesus that it has the right corruption/azerite and being disappointed when RNG does not favor you with a tertiary stat. With gear being more streamlined I dint think we need quite as much thrown at us.

Same brother. Same. I’ve always felt higher ratings should get PvP gear faster but it should be the same gear.

I feel conflicted reading that blue post.

On one hand it sucks because it just slows down gearing and that completion feeling you get when your character hits a certain power creep.

On the other hand, of their intent is to either slow you down this way or slow you down by putting hours of weekly chores in like 8.3 then I’d rather it be slow gearing and I spend more time doing the things I want to do for that gear.

I don’t know if what I said makes any sense.

Nope, you’re cooked… Jk jk…

Yeah… Still I want to be able to play an alt, so if it’s too slow that won’t be great. Got to be able to play something that’s good once in a while when enhance isn’t cutting it :joy:

This is true… Might not feel as much need to pve after all. I wouldn’t complain about that.

Ugh I just noticed a typo in that quote Nawat.

I figured it out… I am also not the grammer police. My phone also chooses weird times to autocorrect and then to not autocorrect. It’s like a built in feature to keep you on your toes and prevent society from completely bottoming out :joy:

I was just coming to post this here! I’m intrigued at least…

This is great news. Even if we don’t see a playable game from them for another 3-5 years, maybe it will send a message now to the suits ruining this game.

GD has a couple of hype threads that are starting to get a little ridiculous about it, but it’s interesting news.

Say no more

cause i have beta i can give you a simple run down but not in depth.

covs = factions of sl. 2 abils, one class abil, 1 cov ability. they’re all really fun as i’ve tested it on the beta, it’s like having two new abils.
covs give you conduit trees sort’ve like relics that you can customize what you want to be strong in, aoe, single, sustain etc.
3 different types of conduit trees.

renown is a CAPPED farmable currency used for non PLAYER POWER purposes, so more cosmetics. You’ll have a bar to fill and a cosmetic reward to earn if you CHOOSE to do so, you’ll also obtain it naturally, but it’s also capped which means you don’t have to farm it.
important to know this is not AP.

torghast is a tower that gets harder every level, can be played solo or in a group of 2-5
https://youtu.be/UlVasAK0C8k?t=132

this video is time stamped will quickly sum it up. it’s VERY good imo.

anima is explained in there but it’s mostly going to get you abils in the tower. it’s not AP once again.

soulbinds/conduits are within covs.

legendaries are back but no rng sinkhole, you craft them and choose the stats you want on them. you can target which ones you want, get the recipe, craft etc.

Anyone here have Among Us?

Your covenants are gated by Renown. You have to increase your Renown in order to unlock more rows of the covenant tree.
I believe this is to stop people from farming open the entire tree in the first week of the expansion launch so that everyone can remain on equal footing, hence why it is a weekly cap (and MAU, of course). I read that Renown has a catch-up in place too so that people who start the game later can still unlock everything without being months behind.
