I went to the Bug report forum and this is definitely a bug. No response from Blue on it but there are a lot of people complaining about the same thing.
I’m leveling a new toon. Get him to 60. Immidiately go to the DF portal so I can go into Val right quick so the DF mini-map button pops up and I can put my DR skills in before getting on the boat to start the initial quest line. And the portal now states that it requires level 70. I’ve done this at least 20 times this xpac and I have always been able to use the portal prior to doing the opening questline. I figure, “OK they changed that and I guess they could have a reason. I’ll just boat over and get going that way”
I do the opening quests to the point where I have selected a zone to start in … still no mini-map button to put my DR points in. Is this a bug? If not at what point does the mini-map button show up now? When did they change this? Like I’ve said, I’ve leveled at least 20 alts into dragonflight and this is something I’ve never encountered before.
