Dragonflight: Season 1 Content Update Notes

[Arithawn-stormrage (Arithawn)]

@Linxy

The weekly Valor cap will start at 1500 and increase by 750 per week

And the cost to upgrade items would be?

What does Raiding have to do with M+ currency and PvP currency?

You want them to include unlimited high-end M+ gear after 6 weeks, so we should have unlimited high-end raid gear at the same time, if they do that.

[Airugosa-wyrmrest-accord]

Looking forward to it!

I mean we already have unlimited high-end M+ gear the moment S1 starts…

Like raiders tell us about catalyst… nothing stopping m+ers from raiding so go raid and get you some tier gear …

Well…

Guess what, nothing stopping raiders from doing m+ for that same hIgh end gear for Valor. Go get you sum

[Piddy-uther (Piddy)]

Non RNG 359 and 385 gear. Doesn’t sound too awful for world content.

That’s the problem, though, you have to do M+ in order to gear to raid, because Blizzard tunes the raids assuming everyone is fully geared from m+. It’s turned raiding into a second job.

No I’m not a troll I was just wondering why the past couple of days there was 3 different dates . Idk why that’s so hard for ppl to grasp . I don’t really think anything about Tuesday patches bcuz usually wowhead would say . Unless I clicked the wrong wowhead article it it said the 14th . The launcher is so vague it made it it seem like it was just a small update they didn’t mention it starting directly . Which is why I was confused because awhile ago there was a diff site that I don’t remember the name of it said the 12th so it was lit just a question.

But my bad I guess that makes me a troll . Usually for something that big blizz would say it on the launcher patch notes doesn’t usually always mean the next day sometimes . So I wanted to just make sure it was the right day .

But yes by all means get your pitchforks out for me asking a question lol

It’s cool dude, water under the bridge.

[Kazdormu-azgalor]

Just commenting to again request that you give drac’thyr the ability to set their visage as their viewed form on the character selection screen. Or at least to show behind the dragon form.

[Jehoma-frostmane (Jehoma)]

Please don’t go ahead with the weekly map pool for arenas. It sounds great on paper, but if you think about it, will have the opposite effect of keeping “matches exciting and fresh”.

If you play 50+ arena matches in the first week you’re ONLY going to see 8 different maps out of the 16 available.

Then there’s the issue of only ever seeing your favorite map once a month - which for me happens to be Tol’Viron Arena - and I won’t get to see it until week 3 of the season…

I realize that you’re trying to cut back on server usage, but surely you can come up with a better solution.

@Linxy

Thanks for the catch Stagheim. I’ve updated the article with the caps:

• The weekly Conquest cap will start at 1350 and increase by 550 per week.
• The weekly Valor cap will start at 1500 and increase by 750 per week.

Really wish you guys kept with the theme of having no caps.

You’re releasing mythic raiding at the same time as M+ now. Doesn’t that alleviate the need to impose this restriction for the top 1% of players in the first place?

[Luumuu-wyrmrest-accord (Luumuu)]

No Caps was only ever a season 4 last Hurrah thing.

I don’t know why people expected it to continue into a new expansion

[Angren-aegwynn]

It’s not clear whether there will be a KSH achievement or not (for instance, there wasn’t one in SL s4).

One might assume so, considering the achievement “Deep Cuts From the Vault” but it’d be nice to have confirmation.

EDIT: Just checked in game (couldn’t beforehand), and KSH is clearly indicated. Forget my question!

[Jibblës-dalaran]

@Yerp-malganis

thanks for butchering monks

@Yureka-kiljaeden

How about buffing Brewmaster monk?

Don’t listen to them. Buff frost death knights instead please

[Jibblës-dalaran]

Why do we have to wait so long for the inspiration catalyst? It should be open early into the season. No reason to do this

[Kryonyx-thrall (Kryonyx)]

I wish they would consider raising the cap more at the very least. I understand they want to throttle gear but season 4 was fairly positive with no cap. Having the cap just feels like unnecessary friction in an otherwise open/rewarding expansion.

Any chance in 6 weeks when the catalyst comes out we could have the currencies be uncapped?

The weekly cap always feels bad after the first few weeks and feels unrewarding to do PvP/M+ because you are at cap.

Players can’t handle dailies being…daily…because of the forced urge to play and you want uncapped currency??? The players may explode!

[Andius-earthen-ring]

Would be good if the article also stated how much Valor you get for doing Mythic+'s

[Alexmorrison-sargeras]

This cap system is such a terrible design because it tells people that once they reach it there is no reason to continue doing content for that week and after a few weeks they start feeling unrewarded.
