I figure it just means more story via questing
I donât see how it could reasonably be interpreted that way. The full text that mentions flying is only this bit:
Unlock flying in the Covenantsâ four domains;
Where heâs getting âonly oneâ out of that is beyond me. They are clearly referring to all 4 zones outside of the maw.
You should be able to fly in all of the non Maw zones but it will be tied to your covenants renown (donât know what level ).
This was so predictable if it is true, Most likely not though as they have change too many things around that it not worth the effort
It takes a whole expansion to admit mistakes, so I highly doubt it.
When I read that I was thinking the same thing. Hopeful that this change allows players to freely change between abilities of the covenants, almost like a talent row.
I get they donât want us swapping those abilities quite like talents (in a rested zone) but Iâm hoping for anything like daily.
I always wanted the covents to be something likeâŚ
- All 4 covenants unlockable by a single character
- Must choose one campaign to complete first, unlocks both abilities
- Can choose any of the covenants to unlock next. completing their campaign then unlocks those abilities
- Eventually have access to all 4 abilities when campaigns are fully unlocked. Provides meaningful choice as you must decide which ability you desire the most vs. which transmog
- Provides longer engagement as there is incentive to fully unlock on your character along with much more story content per character
- Alts start with highest amount of unlocks
- mission table allows pick/choose between covenant followers
- transport network links covenant zones
you get the idea. That would have been fun, although in hindsight they would need WAY more anima drops for any of that to work (along with other tuning) but would have been much more fun imo.

Possible.
To me I always understood why Blizzard didnât want us jumping around between covenants because youâd think itâd piss anyone off to constantly be running back and forth between them.
Iâve always thought some sort of slow or eventual unification process would be best for appeasing the lore vs gameplay aspects
Nah hopefully not.

Everything is just time played metric with isnât it lol.
Please tell me why a Druid wouldnât take Convoke, and why they would take Soulshape in a system where they have choices between each ability.
Then we can determine how âeasyâ it is.
Realistically they just need to make the covenant abilities locked to the soulbinds, and have people be able to use other covenant soulbinds, otherwise it doesnât really work.
Hereâs the mega thread for it.
And if your wondering why itâs called a ripcord⌠itâs cause Ion used that analogy back at the Blizzcon when Shadowlands was announced. Saying if the covenant system doesnât work for one reason or another they had a ripcord to pull just in case. He later said they didnât have one after some backlash, but 
Also a ripcord is the string part of a parachute that you pull to deploy said parachute. If you donât, you go splat.
Kind of like the current iteration of the covenant system, one large flat 
pancake.

I wish.
Blizzard doesnât learn from their mistakes for at least a year. 9.2 at the earliest.
Iâve just decided thatâs the name of my next band.
I have some hope, but Iâm not getting my hopes up.
Cause it may very well just be the way itâs worded. Which would be unfortunate.
Excellent! Thatâs at least 20% more awesome than the Pigeon reference
