Please think about recoloring the tier sets and adding new elite weapons (or at least recolored weapons) for S4. For those who collect transmog and already played the expac, there is really nothing exciting on this front in s4.
I know s4 was created just to fill the downtime we’d normally have which is awesome but it would still be really nice to get something different in terms of cosmetics even if it’s just recolored sets and different elite weapons or recolored elite weapons. I want to play for sure but I am not really interested if I’ve already collected all of these tmog colors and elite weapons personally and it’s always exciting to see new transmogs imo.
If not recolors then at least maybe some options from multiple previous seasons rather than only the one we just played. Like, if we can get s3 elite sets in s4 then maybe offer up s1 or s2 elite sets as well.
Same things kinda happens there, if you played all 3 seasons you just have nothing to look forward to cosmetically. Would really like to see something new that nobody has gotten yet ie recolors of the tier sets/elite sets and either new elite weapons or recolored elite weapons from current season.
Every set has had 6 different colors already so idk. I kinda get why they aren’t. But also, and infinite dragonflight themed recolor of each set would be pretty cool AND look pretty different to the old colors.
Right, doesn’t mean it has to be the same way this time or the next time though. That’s what improvement is, making something better than the previous time. And that’s what adding recolors would do, it’s a win/win. The old colors are still there and in the game, but now you have new colors to get and can farm the old colors soon after in the next expac. Just more transmog all around basically and gives something semi new to collect for those who already played all 3 seasons. Doesn’t matter if I expected it or you did, or didn’t, just that it would be nice to see.
True, they didn’t for SL, but if they’re trying to make Fated stuff at the end of each xpac a consistent thing I was hoping they’d build on it with something new. Recolors for tier would have been nice.
I’m more or less looking forward to seeing if I could grab the Smolderon sword recolors of heroic/mythic with dinar instead of having to cheese it or get lucky on an alt, because transmog rolls never go through in pugs.
No absolutely not fomo aside from the elite set and elite weapon recolors from pvp which already are fomo. They could just leave a vendor up in the future that allows you to purchase the raid recolors if you’ve cleared the raid already, so original recolors would drop from the raid itself and the s4 recolors would come from a vendor after s4 is over. Could be currency or just ‘clear the raid and unlock this vendor’ type of thing that sells cosmetic only s4 recolors post season 4. During s4 the recolors drop from the raid -or- maybe they just make recolors a cosmetic only thing you can buy with the Dinar currency from s4, that is possible too.
I thought of this on the spot so it could be flawed, the devs would have better solutions but that’s just an immediate thought.
Not sure, I just know from being on ptr what we have so far which is basically weapon appearances from all the raids buyable with dinar (cosmetic only) and then the set appearances we voted on with the same set colors from their respective season. Elite set is the same color too and the elite weapons from pvp are the same as season 3.
Not sure why you’d say this as if they have to copy exactly what they did in SL s4. Did people miss the fact they literally just went over how shadowlands was a big failure overall for WoW at pax east? They were very transparent about it. They should look to improve upon the first ever S4 they have done rather than just 1:1 copy it lol.
Also there -was- something for SL s4 at least regarding pvp. If you hit duelist you could unlock other classes elite sets if you upgraded the specific piece to duelist, so paladin could get warrior and dk elite set. S4 brought in all the pieces we didnt have in S3, so there was still a reason to play.
No, but it’s a precedent and one that is going to continue given the Public Test Realm for Dragonflight Season 4.
You’re trying to attribute not giving players recolors of armor sets that already have six color schemes as part of the reason Shadowlands is a failure? Please point out that point from the panel you brought up; I’d love to see Blizzard say that specific reason attributed to Shadowlands’s poor reception.
Yes, which is why your above point makes no sense as Blizzard never said anything about armor recolors.
Blizzard’s plan seems to never need another Fated/Awakened-style season after Dragonflight, so that’s a lot of effort for minuscule gain.
But not a new recolor, so not sure the relevance this has to the current discussion.
I have no idea how we won’t end up with another fated season again, I see that they want these next 3 to be 1 year releases so maybe we won’t but it still depends what happens from that last season into midnight etc. And obviously it wasn’t related specifically to armor recolors, it is about shadowlands as a whole and their approach to feedback, aka they want to listen more so thats why this is being posted.
Look I’m not gonna sit here and argue over armor recolors thats ridiculous, if you wanna settle for minimal content then thats all you. I am going to ask for a bit more so there is more reason to play and push in this new season. If you somehow don’t like getting more stuff to collect thats fine but I am definitely asking for it.
Blizzard stated they wanted their expansions to move faster, and by that they clarified was to remove the content drought at the end of the expansion. That feels like removing the Fated/Awakened-style season altogether and moving along to the next expansion faster.
Would you prefer we go back to every expansion before Shadowlands and not have a Fated/Awakened season at all? THAT would be minimal content.
Sounds like you want something to justify playing the game in the off-season. I call that a symptom of addiction.
Please point out where I said that. Though I guess you won’t since you avoided this point like the plague:
