The lack of proper catch up in this game is a killer. Echoes are earned far too slow in the first place, and the content required to get Cores still involves doing the boring, repetitive visions a ton of times on every alt.
We’re at the point in the expansion where they need to ease up things WAY more and make alts actually viable.
Things they could possibly do:
- Make Titan Residuum account-wide
- Reduce cost of cores to 1000 echoes down from 2000, or even less
- Make cloak progress account-wide
- Make the Shred of Insanity void focus grind account wide for professions
Literally any combination of these would make the game so much enjoyable instead of feeling like a second job…

As someone coming back after a six month break not having a catch up system to help with the cloak grind is a huge game killer. I would like to get into some raids before SL hits, but to do that I need gear. I can get upgrades from world quests and other content so that’s nice, but the issue is that gear has corruption on it and to really use it I need corruption resistance. To get that necessary resistance I need to do horrific visions, but to do those visions past a certain point I need better gear or a ton of Titanic Research which will take months to grind out.
I’ve given up on seeing any of the raids in this expansion so all I’m doing is working on old content unlocking allied races. After I finish that I guess I’ll just let my account go inactive till SL because there’s not much I can do in the remaining time for this expansion.
I kind of feel like this system is like those entry level job listings that say they require 5 years of experience of said entry level job to qualify for it.
(edited to post on the character I’m trying to gear up)

When is this going to be live? Alts is all there is left for me to do in this game now. So when will it take less than 2-3 hours?
Just make the cloak automatically level up like Artifact Knowledge.

This is a great idea! We are at the point in the patch/xpac where blizz should be encouraging people getting into raiding alts. Not even because of MOAs, but because people would enjoy the game more from getting the most out of a new class.

Alts need a way to increase leveling to 15. Doing the visions isn’t the issue, but the cap (more or less) on vessels is. Unless you’re doing arenas nonstop, you’re still resource starved for alts.
The main thing they need to do is bring back essence cost to 500.
Change rank-up of cloak (1-15) to give a level per area cleared (4 area = 4levels)

Negative. At this point, we’re probably close enough to pre-patch that it doesn’t really matter lol
Has anyone done more than 1 cloak to max so they can be valuable to a group?
Pre patch when? I’m tired of this cloak and corruption nonsense
I have 5 characters at 480 ilvl with max resist cloaks. It’s not hard to keep it current if you did the cloak quest chains early in the tier.
You’ve been playing for the entire expansion. Don’t lie to justify your addiction
When i have all these toons
At the level I said I did, and you couldn’t start the cloak until this tier
I really wish Blizzard would just let the vendor sell all corruption right now.
Corruption is going away in like a month or two at most, since pre-patch is on PTR.
I’m saving up on echoes on my alt to get gushing wounds, but its availability is next month…
I know some people are going to dislike me bringing up Asmongolds name,
but he said “Waiting is not content”, which I seriously agree with.
Theres no need to time gate corruption, especially when its going away within a month or two.

Hello! I am new to wow. Does upgrading your cloak make you weaker in PVP as well? Just wondering before I make any choices on getting better gear or if I should get blues instead. Thank you.
this right here is the exact reason why pvp scaling is awful for the game. blizzard you have a new player, who due to your awful systems, cant even tell whether or not getting an obvious upgrade will make him less powerful for no reason. btw cloak upgrades will make you more powerful in pvp and pve up to rank 15 then the upgrades after the rank 15 will just increase the amount of corruption resistance you have allowing you to wear more corrupted gear with less negative affects.
