Cool what? I’m providing information. I haven’t once been snarky or condescending to anyone.

You do realize that this:
At a base level, how it works is you input a piece of Season 3 gear and a corresponding tier set piece will be made with a matching item level. The useable items can be Season 3 gear from raids, Mythic+, PvP, World Boss Antros, or items purchased with Sandworn Relics from Rafiq in Pilgrim’s Grace, Zereth Mortis. The applicable slots are helms, shoulders, cloaks, chests, bracers, gloves, belts, legs, and boots. Note that the 2-piece and 4-piece set bonuses will only be on the helms, shoulders, chests, gloves, and legs.
The Creation Catalyst can transform one item per week, but it can store up these charges so that if you miss a week you’ll be able to create two set pieces the following week, and alts or players who come along later in the Season may be able to create an entire set if they have the Flux for it.
The Catalyst will use the Cosmic Flux currency that is earned from a wide variety of activities in the game. The costs for the different item slots are:
- Bracers and Cloaks: 600
- Belts and Boots: 800
- Gloves and Shoulders: 1200
- Chests, Helms, and Legs: 1500
Their note about the limitations on what will get borrowed power was hidden in the text and not emphasized like proper digital content should do. They specifically intended this sort of thing to happen to people. Thank goodness I have no gear to do it to lol but it sucks how misleading this is for people who have legendaries already and need to plan out their wardrobe for borrowed power.

Well, if you didn’t understand then you’re the only one at fault here.
There were SO MANY sources, including several OFFICIAL sources, that explained this in a way that even a toddler would understand with ease. If you didn’t stay caught up, it’s entirely on you.

As much as I feel that they have adequate warning, I feel like being able to use a charge for non tier is horrible design. I would have bet my net worth that many people would make this mistake. You need to make things completely idiot proof. I mean… they have multiple warnings on large industrial spinning blades not to stick your fingers in it…blizzard should have made you climb through hoops to be able to use a charge for non tier.
Edit: or give you a way to undo the change like when you buy an item from a vendor.

When you craft the item it says if you’ll have a tier bonus, there’s just no excuse

See what I did there, I made it more emphasized lol than the Original Blue Post. I italicized it - that in itself could have gotten people to look and pause more. Because posts that are mountains of text legit are not scannable for digital media.
Because tier doesn’t have set bonuses on those pieces. The catalyst changes it into existing pieces that drop. The existing pieces that drop have a set bonus on head, shoulders, chest, gloves and legs. That’s it.
If you look at the set bonus in game in the loot table, it specifically tells you what pieces give the set bonus.
I haven’t once been nasty to anyone in here. Your insults are unwarranted.
It’s not hidden. It’s right there. And it’s right there in game, as well. The Catalyst screen shows you what you get. The loot table in game shows you what you get.
It’s not. People that already have their 4 set now get to create the rest of the pieces for stats or transmog.

Thanks for posting that. You made a difference.
This is how I feel.
and this is what confused me. I thought they all would become tier set. Why do I have to read 3rd party sites or blue posts to understand this completely?

You don’t need to read a third party website or blue posts. That’s totally on you to read when you upgrade your stuff. Lmfao.

I read it like you. All the blue post needed was more emphasis on a crucial Note which IMO did a lot of harm for folks just trying to enjoy the game. I got you.
You are implying everybody that made a mistake are dumb while you are not because you can “read”, while ignoring every external factor of real life that people likely face daily and that may impact gameplay.
But your hypocrisy won’t let you notice.

Blizzard communicates with the playerbase in EXTREMELY clear terms

It shows you the exact item you’re going to get and gives you a confirmation message with a countdown. “Casual” is not synonymous with “person who does not pay attention to the bleeding obvious”.

False, it’s on blizzard for not putting it in the game in a way that EVERYONE would understand.
What if a new player buys this xpac and doesn’t know about all of the external sources of information?
How many new players keep up with every detail of the game? You’d be lucky if they even knew how to unlock flying.

There is also tooltip on the tier itself that shows what slots. It’s on the player for thinking like a potato.
You get a warning message before creating your legendary lol the same system should apply when creating a Tier peice.

If I’m a salesman and I’m selling you a brand new Iphone or Android – top of the line; but it runs on solar power only and I don’t TELL you that it runs on solar power only… then I’m a neglectful salesman.
So if I’m a developer and I create an experience for you that has potential pitfalls and I don’t warn you about the pitfalls, then I’m a negligent developer.
No. YOU’RE implying that. I’m specifically saying that the game and the internet tells you specifically what you get.
Don’t put words in my mouth and then insult me.

Put Helm/Chest/Shoulders/Gloves/Pants in Creation Catalyst. The preview of what it’ll give you shows up with a set bonus.
Put anything else in Creation Catalyst. The preview of what it’ll give you shows up without a set bonus.
How many more giant red arrows do you need pointing at the screen???
