New Player Here: Please make unlocking allied races easier

Well I think that’s partially the premise of the thread. They removed the rep requirement and Horde ARs became trivial to unlock.

But since the Alliance versions require you to complete like 6 different dungeons. Of which 2 can’t even be done while leveling, it’s just needlessly tedious to complete. So at the very least they should remove the dungeon requirement for the Alliance side

I would love that. I’m even just trying to get to Mechagon island right now but I have to unlock Nazjetar first which means I have to do 2 dungeons (i think) and since I’m 51 I have to find people to queue me in which has been difficult. Then to even get the gnomes I have to complete the Mechagon dungeon after doing all of the island story quests.

they removed rep entirely as a requirement. however, some might still need rep to open up the campaign at certain parts.

Note: The previous requirement of being exalted with each race’s associated faction was removed in Patch 9.0.1; however, Individual quests for the achievement were not changed and you may still need to hit reputation goals for those quests.

I do not have an alt. I have a daughter with her own license on my account. She can do as she pleases. I do not control her reactions at 17 years old. You derail a topic because you have no argument against what I have suggested.

You are the pitiful one.

Yes. That is what I was explaining.

Obviously I don’t have a number for the playerbase

But assuming it doesn’t happen simply because your small circle of friends didn’t quit over it is pretty narrow

My husband tried a Vulpera on my account, decided to make his own account, asked why he can’t play them, then quit 3 days in trying to unlock them.

It does happen, and if Blizzard wants to bring in new players, this would be an easy way to make the game more appealing

People in the CS forum do this all the time and the blues there don’t seem to have a problem with it.

There is nothing to “bust.” My child is allowed her own license on my account until she turns 18. I do not understand why this is relevant or even a topic of discussion.

I’m not sure where you are getting that information. I leveled a Dwarf through Classic when it came out and I might have logged into retail maybe like once but I never did BfA. My highest level character is a 51 Panda (which I just leveled this month).

I am all for removing the need to get the achievements for them, but still require a short quest chain to get a good clue as to who/what they are (and tie the race mount to the appropriate achievement).
Level a character to ten, at least, because that’s the level they start. Short quest chain that takes maybe 30-45 minutes, and boom. Race unlocked.
Highmountain is the only race I don’t have yet, but I would love to do that zone as a Highmountain.

I guess my question is…why do you care?

There is no prestige associated with playing an allied race and you have pointed out multiple times that it isn’t difficult…

So why are you against a change that would make the game more player friendly for old and new players alike?

lol, I can still see your armory if you hide your profile - it is just harder.

you should.

…because this is not appropriate:

Lol…
My 250 days played…

, then quit 3 days in trying to unlock them.

Ha ha haha
When you say days you really mean hours.
Because 250 days is 6000 hours played. Over 6 years.
I only have 4 of them unlocked and leveled for the Armor.
Good luck with your cause.

Honestly why have Allied races locked behind anything at all, at this point? They’re races ffs. They’re literally just flavorful artistic customization options for your character. Like hair options. Could you imagine having to level to 50 just to unlock hair options? And then having to create a completely new character to even use that hair option?!

Is it difficult? No. Is it a waste of time? Absolutely.

I just created my account to post on the forums, I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t even know how to look at an armory.

Edit: and I definitely dont have a max-level character. This one is my highest.

Seems easy enough. So yeah just basically get the lore achievements op. Tbh zone lore quest achievements should be the only gates to things like pathfinder also. Just my little ole opinion anyways.

I understand the difference between an Allied Race beginning at a higher level with gear, a mount and now only one bag may be an issue for deleting all requirements. But I do not see why people push against this so hard to at least remove the dungeon requirements that only Alliance have.
