Ion Hazzikostas has confirmed the fall back plan is to open up covenants

That’s exactly what’s going to happen though. More so now than ever before. It will now be more important than ever to choose the “right” choices.

I seriously need someone to explain how they don’t see this.

Consequence free choices are boring. It isn’t a choice then, it’s just a switch to turn on instead of being intelligent and making your choice work

I don’t want to play an RPG, I just want to play a MMo. Is all that says to me. I find this amusing because it’s usually these very same people that are quick to point out that we are playing an MMo when people don’t want to deal with the toxic players of the game.

I really should open up a popcorn stand on the forum. Free salt, too.

being able to modify my gameplay on a whim depending on what content im doing is much more engaging than regrinding rep with a faction so i can have access to something that i want after blizz decides to do a balance pass and nerfs and buffs things.

It’s an mmo stop treating it like a single player rpg. There are way better single player rpgs witcher 3 comes to mind and 2077 is coming out soon for example. Heck BG2, Kotor, Pillars all smack the heck out of wow from an rpg standpoint and BG3 is supposedly coming out in august

It’s an RPG, stop treating it only like an MMo.

Isn’t there a possibility that people who genuinely hate the devs decision on covenants purposely drumming up outrage so as to scuttle the operation. Like if I can’t have what I want, then I’ll be damned sure that I make the experience miserable for everyone?

All this boils down to things that few will matter to.

You are not top % runners. You aren’t in M+ top tier. You are a regular player, and the differences really will not matter.

The RPG aspect is gaining power via gear and customizing your character via talents. Not making story choices that then you lock you out of player power it never has been.

Just to be clear, there’s no such thing as a Massively Multiplayer Online.

You can do that sticking to one Covenant. Some will be better in some content and some will be better in other content. But some players dont want that

What makes him out of touch besides not doing something some people want him too? I don’t really like complicated systems myself and I hope I can just make some choices and fair off just fine lol

I agree and I disagree.

I do agree that if Blizzard says they’re listening, people will whine more. We see it every single time. Blizzard says they’re open to feedback, people prey on Blizzard’s good faith effort and try to be as pushy as possible.

On the other hand, if people feel like they’re cut off, they start getting desperate. We saw this from Preach already. He thought Blizzard stopped listening, so he started putting out videos outright lying and deliberately inflaming his base. In fact, I feel like the reason he must have received another interview is that Blizzard wanted to let some of that pressure off and say “Hey, if you stop doing this insane stuff, we’ll come to the table and talk to you and give you some content for your youtube channel”. Preach will then put on his “professional” pants and stop going so nuts. I haven’t watched the video of the interview but I’m assuming he isn’t yelling like he has in some of his videos.

they only change their minds if they lose millions of subs, and subsequently money, and the suits call them up and tell them to revert the change or else. Se flying debacle in WoD.

Covenants Need Love Too!

Tommy Boy!

Commitment issues. Is really all it boils down to. They want it all. I just think of Veruca Salt when I see these people.

People should not have to make alts to do different content . They should be able to do it all on one toon if they choose.

Telling people sorry you can’t do Raids or Battlegrounds on the same character is actually taking away player agency and choice. Choice is not about being forced into one thing or another . Choice is about deciding what is best for any situation at any given time especially when it comes to playing a game.
