So I have to tote them all around with me and flip whenever I want to flip? Guess that’s super.
Or they could ya know… give more slots so we can use all of the equipment at once, leave the water strider how it is with the passive and still let people buy water walking for their other mounts if it’s just too much to use the strider… They don’t need to give it “a slight nerf” to buff the other mounts. It’s water walking for crying out loud.
That its actually per character is most facepalm worthy garbage. That theyre wasting resources on this bs is absolutely…i just cant even put into words, i’m all out of effort to give into explaining my unhappiness with this game and this dev team. Its just ridiculous, thats all thats left to say. Its ridiculous.
Instead, they get the ability to have water walking on any mount for free and can then use the item equipment system to get another beneficial effect on all of that character’s mounts.
Also, everyone already can water walk on any mount. There are two different potions in the game that provide that effect.
Those and the Blacksmith stirrups are usable only in Kul Tiras and Zandalar. Not in the new 8.2 zones. Not in 9.0 when we’re grounded again. Also, the leatherworking bardings are being replaced by the new mount equipment anti daze bardings. How many folks are going to continue to buy the old 2 hour ones when they can use an item to get that effect on a more permanent basis for all mounts?
Even though these new items are crafted, professions still lose out.
Why? Why would that be broken? Currently, we can stack as many as 4 unique mount effects - water walking, anti daze, interact with object and still use a goblin glider in an emergency fall off of a mountain.
No, it boils down to I don’t want to mess around with equipment, buying it, carrying it when I’ve already done the work to unlock it.
How is no daze and a parachute and water walking too OP exactly? None of them even overlap with each other.
Ok back up. How is water walking even OP? They said flying broke their game and made pathfinder so we would be down in the stuff they made experiencing it. Fine. As long as it comes out eventually and the requirements aren’t too outlandish then I’ll stand by pathfinder.
This is a huge and incredibly silly stretch though.
Through permanent equip slots yes as temp qol crafting items no. You just want more and more, any reasonable person can look at this change and understand it.
Okay but they’re not losing the ability? Along those lines a shaman could water walk spell, have the daze item and have the parachute equipment. I said “massive buff” being relative to how much people are freaking out about the water strider “nerf” is so terrible. People are complaining because they want to be able to have multiple benefits so for shaman and dks it is a buff.
You’ll still be able to do that. Now it can just be on any mount via the water walking equipment. Making it so you could just switch to between a few mounts and have all the effects via mount specific slots would not only destroy the value of the temporary buff crafted items but also greatly reduce any profits for the crafted equipment items.
Right now I can get on my water walking mount and put on a course leather barding to not get dazed. Will that be the case when they roll out equipment? Methinks not or it makes their equipment useless.
They’re already changing how blacksmithing works from what I’ve heard. Pretty sure they’re going to remove or nerf items that copy their equipment which means no water walking pots, no bardings.
