People wanted storyline choices. They wanted more of what they got with the Sylvanas loyalty questline. And they wanted those storyline choices to matter.
New abilities should not be locked behind storyline factions. Talents/abilities/passives that define whether you can better PvP or PvE should not be a long grind to change.
We can swap talents and specs as we want to fit the type of gameplay we’ll be doing at that point. Now, suddenly, our new ones can’t be swapped like that.
There’s a reason the game evolved where specs and talents became easier to swap.
I don’t know of anyone who asked for our new talents to be locked behind a storyline faction and a long grind to swap.
People don’t come to the forums to talk about things they enjoy about the game (mostly) they come to complain about things they don’t like. It’s an echo chamber.
You’re going to get that camp but you’re also going to get the ‘normalise everything camp’ where people also suggest we can choose racial abilities too.
it’s a game base on leveling up then gearing up to so you can do the hardest content you can. Of course there’s gonna be a meta. This isn’t pony island adventures. End of the day it’s up to you if you wanna follow the meta. Also at most cases meta only matter if you’re top of the top buying for world 1st. So why does it matter
They put out videos like “Best Healers ranked for M+!” and people go off that list like it’s gospel. Sorry, if you don’t play a healer like method X healer may not be better than Y healer for you.
Also what about the covenant followers? Didn’t one of them in a specific covenant grant you the parry abilitiy, even if your class can’t do that?
“Blizzard! Why can’t I have the vampire covenant follower in my Night Fae covenant?”
Seriously, it’s getting absurd. They’re trying to dismantle what made the system unique, which is the choices offered for going with a certain covenant.
You seem pretty blind then. Yes there’s a lot of complaints, but maybe if you used your eyes you’d see the threads talking about playable races, stuff people want to see in future expansions, favorite zones, transmog, etc…
You just have a selective memory to suit your narrative. Sometimes, while the forums are stupid, even they get things right. And again, it’s not just the forums.
Also, gotta love how you ignored my response to your god-awful excuse as to why everything is perfectly okay because nobody on your server was complaining from what you could tell.
So answer me, why would I go to Orgrimmar and start talking about Azerite Armor in General Chat during Legion?
then I’ll just say I blame people’s stupidity over what top guild says. I rather have a player good at his class than a meta class w/ a bad player. But then again people who complain chances are both bad player and bad at their class
It’s a cool thought which offers a really nice choice. But to give every covenant a follower who grants parry takes away the uniqueness of the covenant who does.
