I just found out that I want the tier-chestpiece from Vault of the Incarnates on LFR for tmog purposes, but I only have the mythic one unlocked from raiding.
Can we have it so when you unlock a tierset item, you unlock the appearance for the same item for the lower tiers?
Because Blizzard wants you to waste time getting them.
The answer to your question is also the answer as to why blizz hasn’t unlocked SL legacy loot yet.
The answer is stupidity.
Because people who can only run LFR or norms need to feel like they’re getting valuable rewards for their efforts. Handing out rewards cheapens the experience for everyone, especially those who can only do LFR or Norms.
I’m generally an LFRer and I do not share this viewpoint. How does completing a higher difficulty and receiving rewards associated with a lower difficulty “cheapen the experience” for lower-difficulty players?
Let’s take achievements for example. If you complete a Mythic-difficulty achievement, you receive achievements for all lower difficulties as well. You don’t have to go and run N or H difficulties at that point to receive their associated achievement.
What the OP is asking for isn’t significantly different and I’m not understanding your “cheapen the experience” view. If CE Billy wants LFR transmogs, then they should be able to get those by looting an item at an equal or higher difficulty. Otherwise, the current setup makes you
This. Aka “player engagement.”
Because they want us to make throwaway alts that we take into LFR and Normal that objectively do less damage only for us to get the pieces and sell them (because they are throwaway alts) and make those runs take longer in the process.
It is just that it’s a time sink they probably want to keep in the game. But I think unlocking the lower level version is a good idea personally.
I know you can catalyse the Forbidden Reach BOA items for normal/heroic, not sure what items outside of LFR offset pieces/BOEs you can catalyse for the LFR look.
I’m in the same boat. I have the full heroic and mythic sets unlocked bit not lfr or normal.
Doing it this way would have another benefit. The lfr lifers would stop yowling about “you over geared players are always coming into lfr and needing on things even though you have better already.” if I’m mog hunting then I need it and I sure will roll need, but this would get rid of that issue.
Uhh except that it’s not? Legacy loot is always 11 levels later. Which means that no xpac goes to legacy lot until two expansions later. SL loot will become legacy once you got 71.
Originally it was 10 levels, then Blizzard quickly changed it to 11.
Also way back when, if you could clear a dungeon or raid at any time, you got all the loot - not just a chance at an item.
And with the power curves from Wrath through WoD, it was very easy to go back an expansion and solo the raids.
It was also possible to make decent gold running old dungeons and raids, which these days they nerf for gold long before they make any adjustments to loot drops or mechanics.
What we have now is the worst of both worlds - gold values get nerfed to oblivion while we wait for 2 expansions to have a reasonable chance at getting loot even for xmog while we wait for 3+ expansions for them to actually make them reasonably fast and simple to solo.
I was JUST complaining about this to my friend! I’ve got so many mish-mash mog sets from different tiers! Super annoying.
I’m aware of how is changed but it’s been this way for awhile now.
The game has never been designed to make everything from the prev expansion soloable. Maybe it’s their way of letting purple who actually played and collected the gear when it was on level a chance to feel pretty lol.
Sl raids can be soloed pretty easily including jailer and denathrius. Bfa is still a mess with mechanics that can’t be soloed. Not much incentive to work on old content so I think we’ll just have to wait.
Tell me you don’t understand MMO game design without actually saying it.
Nope. Blizz threw out that rule when they released BfA legacy loot during SL. There is zero reason for SL to not be legacy loot by now.
Tell me you don’t know what you’re saying without telling me you don’t know what you’re saying.
Fun fact. CN mythic actually IS legacy loot right now. It’s the only raid and difficulty that is. So clearly Blizz is already trialing SL legacy loot. They just haven’t rolled it out to all the SL instances yet for…reasons…
Sounds like they may be working on what your asking then or a bug because cn lfr was queueable yesterday and people were running out. Not sure if it’s still there. Solo lfr for sl is already out so maybe it’ll happen soon.
