While I might somewhat slightly agree the expansion is incomplete and there are things that should have already been done i.e Covenant hearthstone being actually a hearthstone to your covenant area…
I do think it’s pretty good overall, it’s kept me busy for this month. I can see it becoming a bit tedious if it continues in this fashion for another month, so I just suggest wait it out and see what happens.
I’m the first one to comment if something isn’t right or if something sucks tbh, I haven’t yet. I’m just casually enjoying my merry time cruising along, no need to go nuts.
I think Collections were the start of when things were kinda going sideways for me.
Before Collections, There was a broader market for things like the Mekengineer’s Chopper, or the Vial of the Sands, because You were crafting them for the individual characters buying them, not the players. After collections, it kinda shrinked the market to new players or collectors. Then they screwed with ammo.
At this point, in the game, I’ll be most happy when Blizz actually puts these in the game, and commit more to the Highwayman/Pirate Fantasy of Outlaw Rogues,
Or at the very least make the First Mate Hat Cosmetic,
And I finally get Mimeron’s Head after making Head-Runs on all of my Max level toons. Wanted that mount since I first saw it!
In fairness though 1-2k a day is like nothing. It’s equivalent to like 10g in classic wow. You can farm leather for 30 minutes and immediately make 10-15x or more than that already; nevermind doing those dailies literally take like 15-30 minutes. Difference is just killing mobs and farming leather might yield you a BoE epic of 200+ ilvl (which it did for me).
And you’ve got severe problems when you can farm a WoW token’s worth of gold by farming leather for less than an hour in any given region in Shadowlands (as this knowledge gets more and more mainstream, how much yall wanna bet they nerf profession gathering?). I get the prerogative is to buy if you don’t want to farm something for an hour but this is a whole other problem of its own. There are guidls clearing Nathria at higher difficulty and they literally have 500 million gold. They can afk in raid, mythic+ runs, or pvp and get boosted to max ratings/gear/etc etc. ALl the people arguing about how time gating is good for the game? All their arguments fall flat. The whole purpose of time gating it this harshly is only 1 reason; getting suckers who blindly defend it to pay more in subscription money; there’s nothing wrong with making money in a game but when you intentionally gimp your content to drag out subscription pay, you’re not making a good game.
World first means nothing. This game is not even that hard; all the people going “Clear mythic Nathria, get 1800 rating” are idiots because again you can just afk through it all after buying WoW token and get everything cleared. Blizzard has literally made WoW, the king of MMORPG, into a cheap Chinese p2w MMORPG reskinned as WoW.
I don’t even know anymore. I’m frustrated, complaining, and know it ultimately means nothing in the grand scheme of things. So yes, To you, I’m trolling you. top kek.
Yeah, with their recent leveling revamp, it doesn’t surprise me that they’re trying to catch the wallet eyes of new players like myself, but I agree that making things more artificial (unlocked by doing X activity) can make it less impactful than something organic (something made by a players who has done X for X to make it)
There’s something to be said about a game when it revolves around player interaction and activity, games like Eve Online or Wurm come to mind, but it can be hard to manage I’m sure.
Well… the Mailbox thing was moreso to call attention to the lazy design of Oribos, But I can understand and appreciate where you’re coming from with this.
Alternatively, if I level my Northrend Engineering a little more, I could drop a Mailbox wherever I want too! Could just do the Stampwhistle thing just to say I did it!
I mean that’s only 100g more than the Emissaries in BFA, and at least I knew if I was going for gold at the time. I often didn’t bother with the gold ones because I didn’t care that much about gold farming.
It’s sometimes less than 2k, which makes it somewhat worse than them. I think I’ve only gotten an item twice. It does make it feel less rewarding than the emissaries previously, but if the gold ones were your favorite, I guess it would be a change for the better.
I really thought this would be a positive thread, but the forums have fooled me once again. Why are you demanding for more? If you’re not happy with the game, no one is forcing you to pay a subscription. I’m happy that I got a free pet and toy. It’s better than nothing.
This and boosts. Both are bannable if done by anyone else, but is apparently okay if Blizzard does it. Completely guts the concept of an MMO if you can buy your wealth and power.
Oh, earlier on in the thread, it was mentioned that the Raptor comes in one of two models, is unique to your account, and doesn’t accept Battle-Stones.
Also, it’s missing a Holiday Wreath that it wears around its neck.
The name shows up as Unnamed, it won’t take battle stones and it’s not showing up for some people with the wreath around its neck.
“I got the plain one, and can’t learn more. So there’s two models, you don’t know what it is til you learn it, then you are stuck with it - can’t cage, can’t trade, etc. It stays the plain one with each summon so it doesn’t change with that either.”
You are way more impressed by gold than I am, which is fine. I know a lot of people like that part of the game. I don’t really buy much nor want to buy much, so it’s always been a non-issue for me. It would just be more fake money I was unwilling to spend. It seemed like gold and azerite power were the most common ones that I saw. Maybe it’s when it’s something you don’t care about, you notice it more.
It felt like the trinket and ring quest never popped enough.
