No intro quest skip for alts in 10.1?

Community General Discussion

I play all classes. Got my first character to Renown 5 and did all the campaign quests in the new zone.

There is no alt skip to go straight to Loamm?

FYI, we just clarified something in the patch notes related to this. (It’s not skippable on alts because it’s not required for anything, access wise, after your first character.)

Actually, I copy paste the comment.

From Twitter, I think the screenshot is from patch notes and the comment is from a Dev responding to MrGM.

ahh i see, thank you.

But what if we raid on more then 1 character? A quick skip there would help to be able to park toons for raid.

mmm that comment from Dev “it’s not required for anything, access wise”, so you should be able to park alts there

I’m starting to think they might have epically succeeded in making the content completely optional.

So the bigger question is, why go in the first place?

Pretty sure you can’t get access though without the intro quests.

I can even stand to raid any more on one toon much less more than one toon. Like so many streamers point out Raiding is a bunch of :poop: now days and not fun anymore.

They didn’t. You need to do chapter one to unlock acquiring sparks. Nobody cares about accessing world quests - the “borrowed power” of this patch is shadow flame sparks and you need to complete chapter one to unlock access to “a worthy ally: loaam niffen” to acquire your spark on each alt.

I just go directly into the new zone with an alt and I got just 1 quest “Power Unified” but I don’t know if the weekly “a worthy ally: loaam niffen” its the only way to acquire the spark fragment, I didn’t get the weekly, I think Devs should provide it account wide without doing the intro.

So far, I can do WQ, Also I assume the raid access is account wide without doing the intro on each alt.

I’d prefer a 10.0.7 treatment on which there’s a skip for the intro quest.

You don’t have to grind this zone. Looks very subpar for most people if you don’t want to grind the faction.

There’s a rare that could drop a mount, therefore; as a collector I’ll need every alt possible there to maximize attempts, there’s X reasons besides the rep to get access, I already tested and the access is available but so far I’m missing 1 weekly.

Do you need the spark for anything other than new crafts? Looks like you might be able to upgrade current gear with crests. Not sure if you need to do the content to get crests to drop from M+ though.

If you do need the spark… And you do need to do the quest chains on alts… Looks like well be back "X.X.5 We hear you ™ " patches where they remove the restrictions.

EDIT: Nvm. As noted above, the spark is locked behind Chapter 1. GG BLizz.

You act like crafted gear isn’t used for alts though?

This is simply not true; the weekly quest for rep is locked behind the chapter 1 quest; you HAVE to do at least the starting quest chain on EVERY alt you want Sparks for. Could be an oversight and I hope it is but as it stands, a skip CAN be useful.

you can check the whole thead, I already commented on that in another comment, also I created another thread with the missing weekly

there’s also a Dev checking on this.

If I’m not mistaken Blizz removed a lot of skip functions in this game. Like the SL one is so painful to do now on new characters so I wouldn’t be surprised if they dont add a DF one.
