Honestly, I really don’t think we’ll be getting SL this year, maybe at the end of December beginning of January.
Maybe prepatch will come on November.
I’m just saying this because Blizzard is going above and beyond to keep us busy without giving us much, the situation in the world has put a dent in their plans so I wouldn’t be surprised.
I don’t really want to experience another half baked system at the beginning of the xpac, to be fixed in 9.2 creating other issues and finally doing something almost at the end.
Awesome! Now I have something to use my echoes on

The upgrades should be BoA so you can send them from your mains with max rank cloak to your alts. A good balance since right now it would cost 42k echoes to buy 4 rank 3 essences and 16 cloak upgrades. Then you still need to buy corruption for 8-10 slots depending on character.

… The same Echoes of Ny’alotha my alts are grinding to purchase the appropriate essences and corruptions?
How is it Blizzard always manages to find a solution that creates more problems?
Might as well have not touched the system at all if you were just going to compound the resource competition alts already have to navigate with their echoes.

I think it would make more sense to remove the 1/week limit of earning a malefic core from running a vision.
It’s still something though and would make it possible for my druid alt to catch up more quickly.

They are no longer forcing you into raiding each week for the additional malefic core. You can obtain the echoes for the core no matter what you do end game, whether it be PvE, PvP, or Mythic Plus grinding.
2 Core cap? Anyone with a new cloak will never catch up.

And alts are still spending the exact same Echoes on catching up their essences and corruptions. You ignored my point entirely.

I understand that it isn’t what the majority of players wanted as their time gate, but I still chalk it up as a win that they listened to the players and did something about it that improved it by even a minuscule amount. It means they are at least paying attention.

Thanks a lot for listening.
Intentionally setting the bar low to disguise failure as victory is why BFA is such a mess in the first place. A glass half full of urine is still a glass of urine.

Understood, but there are a lot of players that have no intention of raiding, so they were the ones being affected the most. It helps still.

ANOTHER garbage “fix”. Good job Blizzard.

No, anybody trying to catch an alt up to their main was affected the most. Doesn’t matter if they wanted to raid or not. The system as was, was not a catch up mechanic by any means for anyone.

Thank you. Good fix. Now I finally have something to spend my echoes on.

Yes the echoes are shared for the other things my alt needs to catch up on. But this STILL removes the HARD time gate that prevented cloak catch up completely so this is still a HUGE win.
Thank you so much blizzard. Working on my alts felt pointless cause it was literally impossible for them to catch up, but at least now they can. And now my Main actually has a reason to continue playing beyond once a week because he already has Essences and Corruptions but no resist.

Blizzard, is there a way that you can at least increase your malefic cores gained per week to 3, so players have a chance to reach the cap in a more reasonable time frame?

I think I may be confused on the new rules with this hotfix but I took it as, 2 core limit per week from Vision/N’zoth and the echo purchased cores are unlimited. Am I wrong?
And what is it do you mean by increasing the cap to 3 per week?
