This is pretty much the only thing I’m excited to see in the 8.2 reveal. I’m hoping for something legion-like

There’s nothing to discuss about it, it might be good or it might be bad all we know is that you’ll have to grind ap again to unlock it. Yay more ap to grind.

The only thing I’m excited about is the scrapping of their Netherlight Crucible.
No one should have allowed that to be copied over and renamed Azerite Armor.
Nobody should have allowed that ever.

Oh that’s staying, they’re only cutting the requirements xd
I think it’s good for an mmo, and if the rewards are worth it, it makes the grind worth doing.

You know what’s really funny and sad?
Dev 1: Hey guys people are stopping the Artifact power grind after they got their traits.
Dev 2: Nooooooooooo 
Dev 3: I have an idea
Dev 1: What?
Dev 3: How about we make it so that their hard earned gear which they worked their socks off to get is useless garbage trash till they grind Artifact Power?
Dev 1: OMG you da man bro!
Dev 2: Beautiful I can just see it. Every time you get higher stuff you need to keep up with your Artifact Power or everything is useless. OMG our hard work is not wasted.
Players: Oh no you didn’t put your dev hands on our gear. Prepares Unsub Launch Code
Honestly?
I am just over it all. Blizzard always attempts to refresh or “improve” each expansion with some new gimmick. Most are hit or miss, all cause community dispute.
Instead of just sticking to tried and true they keep tweaking things looking for that ever elusive “fix”. They will never realize it is not to be had.
It is so simple, here is what they should do:
- Remove all the gimmicks
- Re-implement coins for raid gear
- The coins for Mythic+ gear is nice, they just need to tweak it a bit.
People like consistency. Consistency is safe. If they would revert back to the first 3 expansions style of play they would see alot of players who have left return.
WOW does not need to compete with other MMO gimmicks, and they need to realize that even with their diminished numbers they are still King.

Because we have nothing to discuss? I mean show use the HoA ability layout and costs, then we have something to talk about.
How do we discuss something we know nothing about yet?

I think meaningful grinds are fine, if ap didn’t have knowledge, was capped after a couple weeks or even 1-2 months after each major raid patch and was account bound. But no. all day, every day, gotta zug zug to get that ap else you fall behind.

Anything will be better than the current crap system.
Speculation, similar to how people discuss possible 9.0 classes
Don’t hold your breath thinking it will be so much better, but who knows. The pomp and arrogance really shows this expansion that they push out things that they like but seem to have no clue if the masses would. After more than a decade you would think they would have a clue but alas, we are stuck waiting for them to paint stripes on a turd and pass it off as “new and exciting!”.

I’m sure Blizzard is up to the task of making anything worse. Don’t tempt Fate.
I just want 8.2 to start with the necklace being destroyed. Then maybe Blizzard could tie character progression to our characters instead of an item.

Oh… you mean “let’s all flip out and get ourselves worked up over things we have no facts about and create drama before we know anything.”
I’ll pass.
Isn’t this the underlying mantra of all Internet forums?
Not really, it’s just fun to predict what might happen in the future.
