We’ve seen some discussion among players about saving Titan Residuum for Season 4, and we want to make sure that it is well known that this isn’t necessary. We feel like most players don’t see a meaningful benefit from saving Residuum for the next season, and for a few players, saving Residuum has become an unhappy obligation.
With the Visions of N’Zoth content update, the game will automatically convert your Titan Residuum into silver. At the start of Season 4, we’ll set the drop rates of Titan Residuum and the prices of the items that it buys to lower values.
And thereafter, Titan Residuum will work in Season 4 just like it did in Seasons 2 and 3.
Well it can’t be gold, they wouldn’t want to accidentally help someone get closer to buying a Brutosaur mount, would they? That would cut into their token profits!
Sad, guess I’m not one of those most players.
Again, I think it’s a little unfair to make this decision and announcement near the end of the season. If I’ve known you cannot save residuums for the next season, then I would have just stopped doing mythic+ as soon as I’ve got all the gears I wanted.
It has been this way for every season so far in BFA, it would be silly to think otherwise unless this is your first season playing the expansion. If it is I can understand though
It’s not a ploy. Apparently since PTR has been out, you’ll notice an email as soon as you first login to a copied character indicating that your Residuum has been converted to silver.
The idea, for better or worse, is to keep people from getting “best” gear the day the patch goes live and have to grind/work for it. To some degree, it makes sense. But, it is literally the same problem, with a different name, they’ve had in every expansion where they introduced ‘badges’ as a means to get gear. It’s a different name on the same tab, but the idea is the same.
So create a hamster wheel grind. Once we’ve worked on the grind and build up a resource, they remove what we’ve earned. I’m still having a hard time with this. \o/
This is how it’s always been for converted currencies. I believe the reasoning is they don’t want people to feel the need to save up for some huge pay off when the season changes
Stupid I’m srry to say . Instead of reducing the prices of gear which would be allot better idea. Not copy paste season 2-3. Reset is fine give everyone same chance . But again reduce the costs
Make everything cost so much residuum that the only people who can afford to target pieces of gear are the ones who already have that gear, then make it obsolete before the rest can catch up.
Thanks for the awesome mechanic, Blizz!
