People said everyone was screeching at legion weapons and azerite armour and would be fine on release
Both had to under take dramatic changes because they were horrible or way to punishing to the player base

See that is the problem I have .
I really like the look of the Venthyr mail armor and being a hunter good mail armor is hard to find but Iām afraid I might like another covenants ability better and I want to be able to enjoy both the rp and game play aspects .
I know you understand where I am coming from .
Then that may be necessary if they dont make changes to improve that imbalance. Just as you choose a rogue for a certain style of play, then perhaps it will be necessary to choose a covenant to facilitate that style of play. Players can always choose other covenants for other classes.
Yeah as someone who dabbles in all aspects of the game and I really like playing around with different builds Iām getting hit hard by the current system
I barely even get to make a RP choice at all because of the player power tied into it taking control of my choice making process
I used very different specs in outlaw for different things
My outlaw choice and my assassination choice for theme of covenant even change if Iām going hard core RP mode
Thereās absolutely no chance of that happening.
I went ahead and made extra hunters for the different content in case I canāt do it to my standards on this toon but to be honest I would rather use the other toons except this one and my main alliance hunter for getting the covenant sets for future transmogs.
Iād be so down if I could 100% a covenant then move on to another so I donāt need to roll like
16 different toons
Which is what Iām assuming this system is designed at

Donāt be so sure. There is a lot of time to adjust the systems and I think that they would prefer to even out the benefits of covenants rather than completely wiping their original intent of it being a significant choice. Am I sure they will manage it - no, they have frequently failed. However they have often got it right as well and the amount of developer input and response going out atm makes me think that they are working hard to get it right. They probably realise that for many people, Sālands could be their make-or-break expansion.
Gotta find ways to keep their maus up and back door their preference of spec over class

Two abilities plus all the stuff you apparently donāt want to discuss?
For me, Iām not sure yet. I like being able to differentiate more within a class. I like choices that change my gameplay compared to others such that every x spec isnāt running the same build for the same content. And I donāt like hearing players that are overly focused on performance trying to say āyou can only have player power granted from sources that make my gameplay better. If you want RPG elements they can only be cosmeticā.
But on the other hand, just because theyāre arrogant doesnāt make them automatically wrong. A temporary sub-class tied to a single expansion feels a little weird, and I donāt have high hopes in their ability to balance and keep things interesting. I mean just look at shadow priests right now.
I want them to go live as is. Mainly so I can sit back and enjoy all the crying when people finally realize what is occurring.

Actually, that is only true if you buy month to month. And they heavily incentivise buying in 6 month chunks with free mounts.
Iām for easy changing the covenants. Just put a 24 hour cooldown on it or something. I donāt like being locked into a specific thing. There are a lot of options, so it would be easy to change your mind about it.
It isnāt azerite traits.
Iām not sure if thatās a positive or a negative, but at least something I can complain about at some point thatās different.
I want complete and performance balanced classes/specs that allow you to enjoy the respective flavour and be competitve at all levels of play.
Not more systems that are heavily based on rng or transient borrowed power

Noneā¦ But choices mattered alot more ā¦ You sure couldnāt respec with a press of a button in the middle of nowhere ā¦ If you wanted to play dps you had to have a dps set of gear and same for healing and defense.
Did you really just ask about how choices matter in classic ?
Best part about the whole thing is 9 out of 10 people complaining have multiple toons. Some have multiples of the same class all ready ā¦
If you have to make a back up plan because you know your video game system is going to fail itās probably a bad, frustrating system and shouldnāt be added in the first place. They donāt even have any faith in their own design so why should I?
