Intro Skip (yet again....)

So here we are again. Another expansion, another (semi-) lengthy intro sequence.

But this time, after Warbands, you would have thought that Blizz have recognized that people want to play alts, and the order in which they level their characters shouldn’t matter, right?

Nah. They’ve again slipped on a banana peel and made it so you must do the entire campaign before you can skip the intro.

Some of us have crafter alts, I imagine many of us have crafter alts. I started my “main” in TWW first as she has Enchanting (so she can get a head-start DEing unneeded equipment) and Mining (to give my Blacksmith a head-start).

But, to bring my Blacksmith into Dornogal to begin her crafting, I must first do a lengthy intro stuff with Dalaran, the crash, and clearing out Dornogal, probably an hour total.

And what’s worse, the intro questline doesn’t even give you a weapon this time, like in some past expansions. Maybe if we at least got a weapon or something out of the intro questline, that might have made it a little better?

Anyhow, the skip should be available once you get a main past the intro so that you can play any alt you want, at any time you want, as was the goal of Warbands in the first place. Seems rather silly to force a player to go all the way through the entire campaign before letting them skip the intro so they can start leveling crafters or some-such.

Just a heads-up, once you do get the skip & your next character gets to choose which zone to level up in, if you choose Dorn they send you right back to the crash site on the beach & you play through all the post-crash stuff anyway. So if you hate having to do that, pick a different zone.

The post-crash wouldn’t be too bad, it’s the Dalaran stuff I was more into skipping.

But it’s odd they start you there, instead of right after you unlock skyriding…

Dragonflight didn’t have an intro. It was actually a very good idea and worked great. Blizzard should just do that every time.

Instead of imprisoning you on a linear funhouse ride for 30 minutes or longer, you have an intro cutscene and then appear in the new area. Y’know, like a video game.

Uh you may want to post this in a feedback channel, not the general channel for other games and hardware.

Weird, I dunno how it wound up in THAT forum. Wtf.

I think it got moved here, because I’m almost 99% certain I posted it in GD.

Maybe a moderator can move it or something?
