Please allow everyone to unlock tier appearances and not just the specific class

To those just tuning in;

  1. You can now unlock all transmog appearances regardless of armor/weapon type
  2. You can transfer raid equipment tokens to warband storage and open them on the required classes to get those appearances as well
  3. However older raids that do not give tokens, you can only unlock the tier appearance if you are on the right class

Blizzard has said that this is working as intended, but that if they get enough pushback they will reconsider their stance on this. That is why I’m making this thread.

The amount of work to unlock transmogs was lightened with this update, which is nice - but it still does not resolve the issue of having to run the same raids every week with multiple characters when you are trying to get their tier appearance. That was kind of one of the biggest things people were looking for with the new xmog unlock system.

Please allow us to unlock tier appearances with any character for older raid content.

1000% Agree. allow us to unlock tier appearances with any character for older raid content.

Without this ability, this transmog excitement is going to turn into frustration very quickly once people find this out.

Honestly the tier sets were already the most common people were even running multiple times in the first place. This change seems to have completely missed that fact.

I agree 100%! Allow us to collect ANY gear on ANY toon regardless of class, spec, or Tier set. This way people can get out of old content (Solo) and play your CURRENT expansion.

What continues to feel crazy is how inconsistent the whole thing is in the first place. The oldest raids use Tokens which are transferable to Warband storage. The newest raids also use tokens, so its really just these ‘few’ that are locked behind this terrible system.

Vanilla raids predated tokens, and MC and BWL both drop only explicit class-locked soulbound tier gear.

Ahn’qiraj 40 (Temple) had Tier 2.5 which had to be constructed by collecting components and then combining them to create the class-locked tier piece. However, I think the components are warband bank compatible. I guess I’ll have to check.

Some are it seems. I have a mixture of the items in my Warbank now.

100% support this, Blizzard has made some great changes thus far and I hope they continue the good will and respecting of player time and make this happen!

absolutely should let us unlock the appearances with any class. we can transfer the tier tokens, so why not let us do it with everything?

I think a good solution would be to just to create tokens for these items to live in. Keep it consistent across the board ya know?

Hear hear! Blizz is making great strides in ensuring transmogs are easier to obtain and less time consuming, BUT…I’m SO tired of dk stuff dropping on my pally or any other combo where I’m missing that SPECIFIC tier piece.

Well as of today they have announced they’re going to see it done.

We did it everyone!

Yes please!

I don’t understand this nonsense. Why introduce features like warbands and accountwide progression… but not for specific things because “we want to hear pushback on it”. This crap is so tiresome. Blizzard is obsessed with this backwards way of thinking. They say they want things to be alt friendly and account wide, but then are staunch and stoic on not changing a handful of things for arbitrary reasons…

The devs (speaking through the Mouth of Sauron Community Manager Kaivax) has already said they’re planning to change this. They just haven’t yet.
