What is AP cap?

I want to know when I can take a break.

There is no cap currently. If your referring to what is the highest possible needed currently it is rank 33. Once season 2 starts on Jan 22nd however the highest needed possible will be rank 48. Should be noted that 48 is for mythic level gear.

S2 Raid gear requires level 48 to fully unlock

Thanks for explaining.

Could someone explain the anger behind the responses to the Blizzard tweet?

Best guess is because people don’t want to have to wait to unlock traits again on higher ilvl pieces after previously unlocking them fully on prior lower ilvl pieces once season 2 begins. In other words they wanted the ability to hit max rank needed before it was released.

Which to a certain extent I understand. Losing traits you had unlocked prior but can no longer get on a higher ilvl piece is not a fun design.

Azerite in general is not a fun design. But Ion doesn’t understand fun design.

Wth. This pushes back everything. Jeez

I’d argue it was poorly handled and implemented. The addition of another ring should help it but alas that’s not for another month and a half.

They don’t want people using the system they forced on us to it’s full ability XD

Blizz are idiots I hope wow dies and they go bankrupt …in a perfect world

No, it’s objectively bad from a game design standpoint. If you turned the mechanics of that system in as an assignment in a game design class, you’d fail.

Ion doesn’t understand the appeal of RPG mechanics, and he never has. To him, the endgame is the only thing that matters. He actually hates progression.

In order to avoid people constantly getting more powerful (which they just have to stat squish later, and which messes up his balance spreadsheets), he decided to roll back progress with each new level. Thus voiding one of the primary fundamental systems of the entire genre.

What’s more, since the hardcoreare on a massively different pace than the casuals, the further this system goes on, the bigger the gap between casual and hardcore will get. To the point that catching up to current level will be nearly impossible for a new player.

Right because they never add in more catch-up mechanics in later patches or anything ever like they did in Legion.

Now if your referring to the actual level gap(Increase of max levels over time) issue thats something else entirely.
