I’m struggling to even enjoy 1 alt whereas I had half of the classes in Legion as alts, mainly due to the constantly forced grinds with rep and war campaign, etc. Class Halls was so much of a better experience, it didn’t feel like a chore. Each experience had a fresh difference.
Just thinking of taking my Druid to 120 and going back through all of this again is unpleasant.
Why does blizzard not understand that this is a game and not a job…
RNG legendaries and triple AP grinding was so alt friendly.
I’m mainly talking about leveling up alts. Legion encouraged me to at least try one of each class, not only was it not a chore it encouraged me to play more. Approaching an alt and trying to level them up in BFA is giving me the opposite experience, it feels like a chore and is discouraging me to have alts.
legion didn’t start out alt friendly. in fact it was very alt unfriendly. anything sandwiched between WoD and BFA is going to look good in perspective.
Legion was one of the most anti-alt expansions out there…
Until 7.2.5
Legion was not all roses and sunshine…
Blizzard does not wants people to play too many alts.
I have 14 alts in Legion, all classes in one faction and 2 in the opposite.
All professions, all class hall mounts and all working for Balance of Power.
I produce gems, enchants, glyphs, bags myself for all alts.
I provide all materials by myself.
I became so self-sufficient that I never visited AH.
My mage can even create portal for my alts if needed (e.g. for event boss).
They did something to help alts a bit but Blizzard really discourages maintaining many alts.
Facts I loved legion’s gearing system, bfa on the otherhand…
heh…Legion was far more alt friendly than BFA has been.
I actually was dumb enough when BFA was dropping to think it couldnt get any worse to pay for a total of 11 boosts over three WoW accounts so I could experience BFA, my first real expansion, to its fullest.
I figured as much as I play it’d take two years to do the work and get them leveled and geared up and thru the storyline.
heh.
And then BFA dropped and I lasted less than six weeks before the fantasy died.
I don’t remember legiondaries being required to play the game back then, then again, I am not a min-maxer, so I don’t do a lot of things a lot of people felt required to do.
Like Essences for instance, I don’t give a carp about HoA Essences, as I just do world content and maybe a casual Heroic Dungeon or LFR every now and again.
AP grinds don’t frustrate me. My philosophy was always, it gets there when it gets there. And by 7.3, the catchup mechanics for Legion made AP grinds laughably easy to catchup on alts anyway.
On my monk, having the chest legendary for WW made my Jade lightning go from 20k a tick up to 900k a tick.
I can’t wait until the end of Shadowlands when the “I wish Shadowlands was as alt-friendly as BFA was” threads.
Legion was never considered alt friendly, at least on the forums. GD, of course, is a place where the 1% of the wow population try to emulate the 1% of the wow min maxing population and try to make it seem like it’s a universal concern across wow.
Most people aren’t, but if you hang around GD enough, you’d think 90% of the people who play wow are.
It’s always amazing to me how my vast majority of in game interactions are not even close to what GD is like.
Oh look: a 5 month old necro that states a wrong opinion.
I’m just here to say BFA bad.
That is all…
BFA bad
That’s funny because it’s so true
They were required. If you didnt have your top two, then you did significant less damage than someone who did.
It was also RNG until 7.3.5
Why does your alts need the best of everything to enjoy them?
Legion wasn’t even alt spec friendly.
