Does anyone here have any contacts with the dev team to confirm this is a bug or is it setup this way to force us who leveled in Dragonflight 1-70 to go through the story to unlock Torghast, and Zereth Mortis even if we did it on another character when Shadowlands was current?
As Teerza said in your thread, it’s intentional that Threads of Fate is disabled. So it’s more of a suggestion you want it back which you can submit through the ingame box or at an appropriate forum.
At level 70, have you chosen your covenant? Have you started the covenant specific campaign. Did you talk with Tal’Inara in oribos afterwards and select the bypass option so that everything is unlocked? Did you complete the full campaign through the 4 different zones of Shadowlands as that is required before you can get Threads of Fate from the Fate Scribe in Oribos.
I am stuck on the storyline so there is no option yet to select a covenant so it sort of thinks I am not max level which I why I filed a bug report.
I completed the campaign on another character so I should be able to select a covenant but I am not which should solve the entire problem but alas im locked out of it.
I believe that’s what everyone’s trying to emphasize-- with Threads of Fate retired for leveling purposes, this is no longer an option for players to skip the campaign. Characters must now go through the campaign on each character in order to select a covenant.
To join a Covenant, you must have completed the Shadowlands campaign. Being level 60 is not enough.
This article was updated a month ago and there’s no mention of alternate character completion.
I get it, it’s just a very harsh penalty for having leveled in DF only for the soul purposes of doing old content for cometic items. Sigh I guess I will figure something out.
I can progress in the story, not stuck there. I just don’t feel like I should have to since before DF or the pre-patch it wasn’t necessary. The change to that is just down right wicked and punishing for us who leveled 1-70 in DF
It’s not a punishment. There isn’t any malicious intent involved. Please stop with that. The whole Threads of Fate was an alt friendly option when Shadowlands was current. They even said it will go away when the next expansion would be launched.
Edit:
Filing a bug report will not provide your feedback about this. QA will determine if there is a bug or if it’s working as intended. As it is working as intended, nothing will come from filing a bug report.
I never implied it was malicious, I do agree it is very punishing to through the entire story line at max level which I feel and thus others agree it was not intended.,
The CS forum really isn’t here for debate what it or isn’t something. If you want something to change, follow the link Rufflebottom posted. You already made a bug report, so nothing else can be done.
I would concede it being a bug if it were a simple matter of some level 60s having the option vs others not, but no one’s yet come forth with any data regarding how many of the characters that do have the option have already begun the Shadowlands campaign vs not. So far, every instance of people not having access on level 60+ characters has already started the campaign.
My current stance is that these are two different situations.
Any characters who have already chosen Threads of Fate prior to Dragonflight will be able to finish it. However, characters who never initiated Threads of Fate will be restricted only to the zone-by-zone Covenant campaign for Shadowlands.
I do want to emphasize that I’m not actively trying to convince you that you and a good chunk of others are wrong, its just that the information we have so far from the developers via these support articles makes it sound to me like it’s all working as its intended to now that DF is current.
