I think it’d make sense if we could upgrade champion loot to hero with like 4 aspect crests or something.

I’d buy into that.

It’s obviously coming in the catch up of the patch cycle, but not this early in the season.

Defeats the entire purpose of the system they created they literally said they want players to get out of the mindless farm of running twos they want players in all brackets of M+ not just 2s

but 2s are easy. i should get bis for doing 2s.
But I already mindlessly farm 11’s becayse wyrms are all you need.
Literally just 1 aspect per slot is about it.

They really really really need to. Instead of aspect crests though, i would say it should work like the creation catalyst, that ever week you can upgrade 1 item to a hero item. That way you still have incentive to keep doing things and trying to get drops.
But right now, as much as i love the loot system, and trust me i REALLY like this system a whole lot and i really hope it carries forward. The only draw back here is that i feel like its not worth upgrading champion gear past level 4. because i just look at it and go. why would i want to spend resources on upgrading gear im going to end up grinding out to replace?

They said with Aspect Crests, which drop from 16+, not sure how you would equate that with people mindlessly farming 2s.

Im with you but with forgestrom, like its not worth upgrading it past 4/8 i would rather just get it on hero first then ever do 11. in a way, it sort of widens the gap for M+ brackets and ill be at an even less incentive to do things lower then a 16.

You can get bis for doing 2s, just Veteran level lmao
I hope Blizz scraps this gearing system. 32 upgradeable levels with 4 different currencies. Plus crafting currencies and tier tokens. There is no reason gearing needs to be this convoluted.

When they first introduced the system, I was under the impression that this would be possible. There’s literally no reason to have this many gear ranks, just have 1 item that you can upgrade from 0/20 to 20/20 (random number picked, don’t @ me). Remove crests, replace fragments by currency and change the old price of crest to crest x15 fragments.
Voila, fixed all the issues.

I don’t think you understand it, you upgrade it to 437 and then if you get another to drop at hero track it’s free to 437 and then the only crest it will cost is the 1 aspect’s to do the final upgrade. At this point my pally has run out of wyrm upgrades, that is with a bunch of hero track items though but by next week you should be able to upgrade pretty much everything to 437 if you can’t get into 17s.

Running 11’s to 15’s is just as mindless as running 2’s to 6’s were in season 1. The only difference is that it takes more time, which feels like a double punishment.
If I’m running keys at +16 and higher, I should be able to upgrade the gear I have without stepping down to lower keys. We didn’t have to do this in season 1, we just chose to because it was faster. Now, we have to run lower keys in order to upgrade.
Blizz has already said they are going to iterate on it for S3
You have to go back to college to take a few courses and get a degree in “WoW gear upgrading”.
Simple fix: Have exactly the same system as last season except make the amount of valor you get from dungeons correlate with the level of the key. Something like:
+2 = 20 valor
+3 = 30 valor
+15= 200 valor
Making up numbers, but that idea. So farming 2s isn’t really worth it. I know i was a little annoyed that i can’t gear up alts in M+ during S1 because the low keys I’m geared and able to do, nobody will invite you. Simply put…don’t invite a 390 ilvl alt when you can wait a minute and invite a 415.
The new system is head and shoulders better than valor. You can upgrade lower ilvl gear for almost free if you find something that has better stats, upgrading weapons is actually viable now, it’s much faster than valor, and allows us to upgrade raid items. There’s a few small things they can do to make it better that I’m sure we will see in s3.
