9.1 they will bring in a new system to help with the old systems and by 9.1.5 they will have a fix for that new system which will be fixed by the new system coming in 9.2 and so on .
It’s been their track record of the last few expansions.
You don’t even need to have done beta testing to see the flaws in the system. If you have done beta testing it only makes it so much more painfully obvious.
Let me give you an example of my first hand experience after the most recent wipe.
I boost a character to 60, set my bars up, learn legendary recipes, buy all the conduits and learn them.
I pick his covenant choice
I use the PvP vendor to get 190 gear (equivalent of LFR level gear)
I start running keys to get better gear, a Mythic 6 or 7 drops better gear than this PvP vendor.
I want to try a new covenant, guess what I have to do?
That’s right,
I need to make a new char and do it all over again. Instead of being able to swap over to keep doing testing I’m just not going to do it again - It’s just simply too much hassle. Think about that.
It’s too much hassle to even beta test efficiently
again everyone a reminder. those who are anti-#pulltheripcord don’t care about the game. they are the ones who will play systemlands for a week and then go off to play fortnite or whatever p2w game is hot right now.
those of us who are saying #pulltheripcord want whats best for the game. we want blizz to give you the wow that we all remember with epic content that you can do with your friends.
Yeah it turns out when Blizzard takes a sledgehammer to Soulbinds and Covenant ability power it makes it not much of a difference. Seems this is Blizzards way of making everything close as possible, by making them barely worth pressing. Lots of them are impactful as minor azerite traits now. How great !
Again… I am still confused. Blizzard designs a concept with important powers. Players complain that the concepts have too much power, and they want that power transferred to classes instead.
So blizzard does exactly that. And now the systems are boring/ bad because they aren’t hugely powerful?
You’re purposely muddying the waters about what players were complaing about. Nobody cared if abilities were strong, we cared about them being locked behind covenants. If they were freely swappable it would have been perfectly time.
Except now Blizzard has been reduced to nerfing everything to the ground so there is no wrong choice. Was this really preferable to them being a talent row?
