If you don’t have 2/4 piece by Tuesday

@Whamboomy-illidan

That’s not what people will see when they try to make a bracer, boot cloak or waist item.

The catalyst LITERALLY SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU GET.

@Whamboomy-illidan

What they’ll see is a tier piece

They’ll see a piece of gear with STATS ONLY AND NO BONUS ON IT.

@Whamboomy-illidan

Various people have already told me they think this will work

Then various people are lacking seriously basic comprehension skills when looking at their screen, looking at their tier and reading a blue post.

@Whamboomy-illidan

You need at least one of those slots of tier gear to get the bonus.

WRONG.

LOOK
AT
THE
PICTURE

@Whamboomy-illidan

That’s what’s familiar given that’s how the last raid set bonus worked.

Dom shards ARE NOT TIER.

The sheer lack of comprehension here is beyond astounding.

@Scrèwtape-proudmoore

But the catalyst system now ADDS more pieces of tier

Wrong. It’s added in the the rest of the outfit. IT DOES NOT ADD BONUSES TO THOSE PIECES.

LOOK. SEE. COMPREHEND.

@Scrèwtape-proudmoore

But they specifically call it tier.

Literally no one cares what the title of a piece of gear is. LOOK AT THE BONUSES.

@Liòn-blackrock

I think you just need 1 of those slots for the bonus.

WRONG.

OMG…

[Scrèwtape-proudmoore]

@Grizzle-eredar

That’s still the “set of gear”

Tier has always been the 5 slots. A set is a complete “set” of gear, encompassing the other slots. Tier is just the 5 it’s always been.

Right now - yes, only those 5 pieces. With the catalyst tier will be more than these 5.

They call it out both in the blue post AND in game - the items now literally have the tier prefix/suffix on them.

[Grizzle-eredar]

Can’t say you didn’t try to warn them. Just wait for the QQ on Tuesday and maybe by 9.3 we’ll have all 10 pieces added to tier bonuses >.<

Wrists have the name, because it’s part of the set. They do not have the bonuses, because they’re not part of the tier.

It’s as simple as that.

[Whamboomy-illidan]

@Thallia-sentinels

They’ll see a picture of an item named like all the other tier pieces. Since all other set bonuses in the game named similarly, it’s easy for them to think it will work with the bonus system.

[Kelliste-antonidas (Kelliste)]

Let them waste their charge. Tier has almost exclusively been on helm, shoulders, chest, gloves and legs when it comes to tier sets. There are very few tier sets that included other item slots than those.

Let people learn something from their failures. If they cant open up the Adventure Guide and look at the loot table, thats their fault to see what items tier comes on, thats their fault.

They literally call it tier:

@Linxy

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 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 fact that they have the name makes them tier. No other gear named as part of the set has not been tier.

[Dartakan-ragnaros (Dartakan)]

Why do you keep ignoring the last line of the paragraph you linked?

Think for a second, if they indented for bracers/boots to work as part of the tier set, why are the ones you currently get from the raid not work like that? They could have done it since the start.

ARMOR SET is not the same as tier set. It never has been.

[Thallia-sentinels (Thallia)]

@Scrèwtape-proudmoore

The set bonus WILL NOT BE AS PER THE BLUE POST AND IMAGE THAT’S BEEN POSTED.

I can’t yell at the rocks anymore. I seriously can’t.

This is not difficult people. NOTHING CHANGES FOR HOW YOU GET YOUR SET BONUS.

@Whamboomy-illidan

They’ll see a picture of an item named like all the other tier pieces.

Are you purposely acting dense? Can you literally NOT read where the image shows you what pieces have the set bonus? NOTHING CHANGES FOR SET BONUSES. THEY ARE ON THE SAME PIECES THEY ALWAYS WERE AND DO NOT CHANGE.

@Whamboomy-illidan

t’s easy for them to think it will work with the bonus system.

No, it’s literally being completely oblivious to what’s staring them in the face.

@Grizzle-eredar

Can’t say you didn’t try to warn them.

Yep. I’m done. I’m out. I can’t take the blatant ineptitude anymore.

Check the loot table really quick.

Do you see your item with stats? Or do you see the generic class/group token in the adventure guide?

They explain it right there.

Applies to what can be made in the Creation Catalyst with corresponding gear:

You don’t need to see stats to see which slots are considered “tier” and offer bonuses

[Fenïx-proudmoore]

You posted the same thing but in a different order.

It still says that the helms, shoulders, cloaks, chests, bracers, gloves, belts, legs, and boots slots will have tier pieces available to craft through the catalyst.

[Fenïx-proudmoore]

@Grizzle-eredar

Yeah but none of the new tier pieces are in the loot tables to begin with.

Before you leave.
Do you understand why i specifically made this thread?

Okay, bye.

Yes, pieces that you can CRAFT. That’s all that that is saying.

@Linxy

Note that the 2-piece and 4-piece set bonuses will only be on the helms, shoulders, chests, gloves, and legs.

They go on and explain what gives bonuses. The fact that people are unable to comprehend something as plain as day as this is beyond me.

[Grizzle-eredar]

@Fenïx-proudmoore

Yeah but none of the new tier pieces are in the loot tables to begin with.

Because they’re not tier pieces. It’s part of the set. It completes the look. That is it.

[Ghaghzull-malganis]

my lock have finally got 3/4 tier gear after 7 weeks of not getting any tier pieces. if I don’t get my 4th set today, Tuesday will be the day!

[Fenïx-proudmoore]

@Grizzle-eredar

They go on and explain what gives bonuses. The fact that people are unable to comprehend something as play as day as this is beyond me.

There’s a difference between giving the bonus and counting towards the bonus. I think that may be what’s throwing a wrench in things.

Last raids gear did something similar. Only certain pieces of the whole set actually gave specific bonuses, but other pieces could count towards the bonus.

[Grizzle-eredar]

@Fenïx-proudmoore

This is one in the same…you know that right?

[Fenïx-proudmoore]

They’re just not in the game at all right now. They will be in the game next week.

They are tier pieces. Blizzard calls them tier in their post and I think people have mentioned that they have the same naming convention - which is consistent how all other tier pieces/sets in the game have worked since vanilla.
