Way to go Blizzard, you still managed to screw up something good

[Ahleesa-malganis]

That was during Legion, don’t remember exactly what it was but it did happen.

I want to say it had something to do with the currency that was used to buy the legendaries when they became purchasable?

Obtaining Rank 3 Essences on Alts

UPDATE MARCH 17 To enable your characters to receive Echoes of Ny’alotha, you must first log into your other characters who have Rank 3 Essences. This will also unlock your Rank 3 Essences for purchase from MOTHER on eligible alts. – As we announced last Thursday, with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, a new system will allow players who have Rank 3 Azerite essences on at least one character to more directly acquire those Essences on other characters. This will use a new currency c…

Apparently people don’t read well.

Apparently you can’t read well either or can’t tell time…or both.

[Buttcheek-pagle]

I really hope another team is making Shadowlands.

[Jateam-proudmoore (Jateam)]

I just don’t know how they determine main characters. I have multiple characters with rank 3 essences grinded out and didn’t get echoes on any of them out of the M+ or PvP chest.

That was 1 hour after reset.

[Oha-tichondrius]

one lil mistake and you are [Removed] im seriously not impressed blizz, i know im not the only one gonna consider another game been grinding for months, now worthless not even worth the time

Blizurd already demonstrated that they couldn’t count as high as three back in WoD when they put up the first Kirin Tor daily emissary with only two Kirin Tor quests on the map.

lol this post, so many issues and I’m dying

• Legion
• KT emissary was originally 4; the issue was that only 3 were guaranteed so they reduced the emissary requirement instead
• Blizurd (this one seems intentional)

Thanks for the laugh, have a good one.

[Mony-earthen-ring (Mony)]

They should have just made it account bound but nope couldnt do that

why do that when you can force people into yet another time played metric grind?

[Groovdog-ghostlands (Groovdog)]

This currency should drop PERIOD. What is a main today may be an alt for the next 9 months. First good step now fix it for real.

[Mony-earthen-ring (Mony)]

Two thoughts for players checking into Essences after maintenance: 1. Log into your main first, so that the system is primed for when you log into your alt. 2. Don’t expect to see Echoes of Ny’alotha dropping for your main, unless you have at least one Rank 3 Essence on an alt.

is needless complication the new normal?

[Vileice-tichondrius]

I agree. I also addressed this in my forum post. Raise hell people, that’s the only way to get their attention. It's Our Fault

[Sabbia-moonrunner (Sabbia)]

Everyone worried about essences while I’m over here sipping my coffee and enjoying the fact I got out of this nightmare a year ago.

Let’s hope Shadowlands is good!

[Syzara-lightnings-blade]

Or people will just finish there mains and then end there sub.

[Cytriss-moon-guard (Cytriss)]

Or maybe they used common sense like most people and realized you had 3 days to finish it and never were guaranteed 3 at one time.

They should be completeable at any given time, not requiring to log in multiple times to see if you can complete it.

[Mony-earthen-ring (Mony)]

Or people will just finish there mains and then end there sub

[Malsethiron-moon-guard]

Normally I’m fine with what they do, but this is ridiculous.

I logged onto my old Main (who I didn’t play much in 8.3), opened my PVP chest… nothing. Thought “well okay it must be in my currency tab anyhow”… nothing. Checked Wowhead for unrelated reasons, then saw the whole “Log onto a R3 toon first” nonsense.

Honestly I am rather unhappy. I said to myself I wouldn’t do another PvP chest for a while, and really had hoped I could get a head start. Sigh.

[Brainz-westfall]

Why would you get on your main first?

Mission tables and stuff! Daily grind mang!

[Motors-korgath (Motors)]

How could you possibly not test the fact that characters are not receiving the new currency if they haven’t logged into other characters that have the rank 3s that the first character you logged into needed.

Enjoy being overwhelmed with tickets today. You deserved it!

This is the result of thinking you don’t need QA anymore and you can save some more money for executives in the white tower to pay themselves.

[Whitecrow-khaz-modan (Whitecrow)]

Isn’t that how all account wide systems have functioned since they were introduced? I feel it’s behaved consistently.

In the past account wide systems in WoW required at least one log in, in order to unlock things at the account level. This stuff normally doesn’t change while you are offline. When they introduced other account wide systems like Achieves, Mounts, Pets, Tmog, and Heirlooms I had to log into my character that already had the unlocks first in order for them to unlock/show up account wide.

This is expected and not surprising from where I stand.
