The last two expansions provide ample evidence that continued feedback and complaint will have the desired effect of fixing the broken system. This thread and all others like it are the outcome of Blizzard’s stubborness to fix issues that are widely reported in a timely fashion. They wouldn’t exist if feedback was actually considered and acted upon.
The “same 6 posters” arguement is the next meta in the anti-ripcord meta, but it too will die in due course. If there are 100 posts between the OP and the person you describe in the past 24 hours, that means that there are ~550 posts that are from other people in the same time period.
Here to reiterate that I do in fact want to be a venthyr mage or a necrolord mage as Ion mentioned was their goal. I don’t want my ability to perform optimally in different forms of content tied to this identity. Which will happen unless they achieve a never before seen level of balance.
Remember when they made essences account wide or put corruption on a vendor and it unraveled the threads of the game? Me either.
Just to chime in again, not pulling the ripcord doesn’t impact the people you think it will.
Dealing with poor initial implementation of new systems is what a lot of us are used to. We’ll get through it much like we did azerite, corruption and essences.
Luckily the raid design team isn’t as tragically inept as other parts of the Wow team. The fact you think this will hurt us shows how misinformed you are.
Now that “tuning passes” are happening, one of the biggest flaws of the Covenant system is being exposed. Classes with abilities that interact with specific Covenant abilities, legendaries, and conduits in powerful ways are getting nerfed. The core class abilities are being nerfed because a Covenant ability interacts with it too powerfully. This is completely insane. If you choose a Covenant because you like it, but the other Covenant was what caused your core class ability to be overpowered, now your core class ability is weak even though you aren’t using the Covenant that made it too strong. Covenants are the problem, and nerfing core class abilities is not the solution.
I know you really love that strawman, but I don’t think it will hurt you, or anyone, that much at all. I think you’re just a complainer by nature and I am confused by your constant double speak.
You say you love the game but you think the company that owns Blizzard is inept, corrupt, and ruining the game, yet you still pay for it and love it? Why?
What is the point of feedback when they don’t care to listen? Every year the sub numbers drop because systems like these just feel bad. I took a break during 8.2 because it felt bad. And these covenants continue like this it might happen when I take a break around 9.2. I just don’t play games I don’t enjoy. Eventually I do get fed up and leave.
How funny would it be if you changed to a more powerful covenant and the next day they nerf it the ground. Now you have to wait a week or two or whatever it is to change. I know this probably won’t happen but it’s funny to think about.
No actually. I specifically state in the original thread post I didn’t do this for me. I already play three shamans in live so I can raid multiple times a week.
The success or failure of this Hashtag doesn’t impact me at all, in the slightest
I’m just able to see not everyone will do what I will do, and many will choose the much easier path which is to just quit. That’s not healthy for the game.
Just because people are not happy with something going on with what they enjoy doesn’t mean they actually now hate the thing they enjoy . THey are just voicing their concerns.
People like you that go since you don’t like this part of the game (player power tied to covenants at this moment in time ) that means you hate the game in it’s entirety .
This is not true . It actually takes more passion to be critical of something you enjoy then it does to go the white knight yes man route and go nothing is ever wrong and they can never make a mistake.
