Did bliz change the starting weapon in nazjatar ilvl?

[Ragnoiros-sargeras]

Or, they were testing how the zone played out for people with high end gear?

Okay, so what you are saying is that the zone is tuned around people wearing 410+ gear but only gives 370 weapons and 385 Benthic for new alts/low geared players? That seems like a pretty hefty gap.

[Wariya-dalaran (Wariya)]

I have decided to wait until a blue confirms it

My background is blue
and I am telling you
It ain’t being amended
Cause its WORKING AS INTENDED

[Rhanlar-sargeras]

How in the world is it tuned for 410+?? I was legit one shotting people with CB at just 408.

[Ragnoiros-sargeras]

The poster I was replying to stated the 415 was for testing high gear levels only.

[Rhanlar-sargeras]

fair enough, continue

This is no surprise. Blizzard has done nothing but present one thing then turn around and give you something much less. That’s actually BFA itself. Remember how horde was able to farm easy warfront for 340 gear before Blizzard slapped the required 320 ilvl? That pretty much sums up BFA.

I have seen early patch mess up rewards,

Someone gets what to them is vendor / scrap and gets rid of

next day bliz says oops, it should have been ****

Then at best you have to file a ticket , hope they process it and what might have been useful becomes useful.

How hard would it be to say, sorry for people assuming something, and it turns out the assumption was wrong, and it is as intended.

Sorry if your not happy about that, but it is what it is.

Then I can deal with it just like others as they see best.

But without that blue answer I"m just guessing, just like everyone else.

[Crossbless-malganis]

blizzard backed down on the free gear firehose ? I don’t believe it

[Nyaria-argent-dawn (Nyariá)]

Aw wait, they nerfed it? Then whats the point?

Now it’s going to be useless.

[Revolutîon-arathor (Revolutîon)]

This always happens. I remember when the turn-ins for the war effort were suppose to give 500 rep then patch day it gets significantly reduced. This type of stuff always happens. Don’t act surprised.

[Lucrend-thrall (Lucrend)]

Yup its less than an emissary weapon now. What’s the point?

[Hellasha-alleria (Hellasha)]

Was it a nerf, or was it the people doing the quest on the ptr already had a high ilvl and 415 is as high as it goes.

I remember the Alliance reaction to it on these forums because they couldn’t do the same thing. Now that was entertainment.

[Nyaria-argent-dawn (Nyariá)]

Probably doesn’t even look good, not even transmog worth then.

[Argorwal-ysera (Argorwal)]

Classic aug 27

Unsub until then.

I"m not doing more crap in BFA and this is a nasty taste in my mouth.

They had to know people saw this and would expect it.

A simple post on it before launch would have let me forget about being hopeful for a decent weapon for my main, who has finally from the quest yesterday a 395 weapon, up from a 376 WF 2 hander, I gave up on getting something for my rogue and he’s just loafing

Guess I can unsub until aug, then resub

Gotta make a decision.

If you are quitting BfA because you didnt get a mythic raid quality weapon for doing the intro quest im not sure classic is the place for you…

[Alluringdawn-proudmoore (Alluringdawn)]

It’s at the new normal dungeon base ilvl.

[Audrena-dathremar (Audrena)]

was it the people doing the quest on the ptr already had a high ilvl and 415 is as high as it goes.

It doesn’t scale to ilvl, it’s 370 for everyone.

Probably doesn’t even look good

It’s not even new transmog, they’re the Honorbound weapons (the exact same one we were getting 25 ilvls higher in OLD content - I still had a 395 one in my bags!)

[Lucrend-thrall (Lucrend)]

I think someone said it was just the warfront appearance. What a joke…

[Voxplaga-ravencrest (Voxplaga)]

that completing the quest is not giving a 415 weapon but a 370 weapon.

Good. 415 is the ilvl that the normal difficulty of the next raid drops. If they started invalidating raid gear with basic intro quest gear, that would have been overboard…i mean, it’s already overboard with emissary gear, i guess what i mean is, ridiculously overboard.

[Alluringdawn-proudmoore (Alluringdawn)]

But 370 is less than what you get in a Mythic 0 now.
