An impactful second visual theme at the expense of BE visual uniqueness.
The ear options and a tentacle toggle on hairstyles with tentacles iirc. What are you on about they only got hair colors? They got two passes one with core races and one just now.
Players who reach 80 Renown with any Covenant will be able to freely switch among any of the four Covenants without cooldown or restriction. In addition, cosmetic rewards that have been earned from a Covenant with which the player has reached 80 Renown may be used even if that character is currently a member of a different one. Both the Covenant switching and the use of cosmetic rewards will also apply to alts once the Renown threshold is reached on any character.
So basically, get to Renown 80 on at least one character, and from that point every character on your account will be able to swap covenants freely, regardless of renown level, and use all unlocked cosmetics. Youâll still have to get your renown levels up (although you can skip the first 40 with an item that theyâre also adding in this patch, available once you reach Renown 80) but the main functionality of covenant swapping will be available.
I noticed thereâs nothing about unlocking holiday clothes so they can be mogged anytime of the year. Prolly should add that into the patch notes as well.
Iâm so confused
Why so many ppl saying you need to regrind to 80 on them all to switch freely?
Maybe itâs this part. If thatâs the case then itâs not so bad.
If youâre 80 renown as kyrian, and swap to venthyr, buy the 40 renown starter pack, you still need to grind 40 renown to unlock your full soulbind tree and empowered conduits and stamina boosts perks is probably what they mean?
Iâm confused by the mog thing now. If i unlocked full kyrian renown mog on a character thats 60 renown, does that mean i donât have access to it now on my alts until i play that abandoned character again and get it to 80?! Thats dumb
You only need to get to renown 80 on a single character. That will unlock the ability to freely swap between covenants on all your characters, and it will allow you free use of all covenant cosmetics, regardless of your actual covenant choice.
If, however, you want a specific thing that you havenât unlocked yet (so letâs say the cosmetic outfits that are unlocked by going through renown levels 40-80), and you havenât gotten to that renown level on an alt, youâll need to get your renown up that high to purchase the items.
So waitâŠpatch is nov 2âŠbut has no new content until December, so another month with no new content and no reason to log on wow beside raid? gg, this patch doesnt add anything new in terms of content.
So in review then, 9.1.5 is Finally launching on Nov 2. Included in launch are the following pieces of non-content:
Swappable covenants** (after reaching 80 renown) â this should have never been an issue in my (and many others) opinion but either way, it isnât new content
Removal of conduit energy â obviously not content, just the removal of a system that no one wanted/liked/used that also should have gone away long ago
Solo island expeditions â I guess it might be content-ish but, again, not new content. we just spent 2 years doing this constantly. and i think a lot of people would also tell you this should have been in since 9.0
Skippable maw intro â not content, should have been in place since 9.0
Some additional customization options â not game content. was promised to us at blizzcon and then retracted because âthey didnât have timeââŠapparently they do, they just didnât want to follow through
The only content in this patch wonât even be released until at least a month after the patch release date and then will only be actually playable for 3 weeks out of the year!! How does this make any sense?? Also, Iâm very interested to see how the mage tower plays out when people donât have the borrowed powers that Blizz balanced their class aroundâŠ
So assuming you pay an average of $15 USD per month for this game, you purchased the base expansion for ~$50 + $105 in subscription for 9.0 and, assuming 9.2 launches in February (??), will have paid $90 for Korthia + Sanctum of domination and a mage tower event that will have been available for a grand total of 2 weeks in that amount of time. Maybe 9.0 was worth $155 â even with the system headaches and restrictions and alt-unfriendliness â but is Korthia, Sanctum, and only 2 weeks (!!!) of mage tower really worth another $90??
Am I off base here or do other people find this to beâŠridiculous? insulting? asinine?
You seem to be extremely upset about something. Judging by your comment, you didnât realize that numerous game companies have released new games within the past few months, along with patches to those games. Some even have their own lawsuits theyâre dealing with.
With WoW, the developers will stick as close to a two year schedule as possible. That means, weâre NOT getting a 9.3 content patch UNLESS they cut 9.2.5 short to accommodate, and from the pattern of content released, 9.2 will be the same content as 9.3, since 9.1 and 9.2 were probably cut down and merged into one patch.
Do you honestly think after the fiasco of WoDâs 6.2 being 434 days long, theyâre going to replicate it? The pandemic and lawsuit are no excuses at this point.
Blizz should offer a 3 week sub just for november so people can come back for 9.1.5 before quitting again for endwalker. Nothing to lose and will gain a little bit more revenue.
