But like I said in the other thread - WoW, especially PvP, is a dying game.
It’d benefit the company to look at what other PvP games do to engage players. And high levels of accessibility are a generally popular feature.
Why’s it so hard to just say “Hey, you’re right Yagarr. Why can PvE players use their Shadowflame to make 447 weapons but PvPers can’t? Why can PvErs spam upgrade their gear past Honor gear levels, while PvPers have to wait on Conquest and trophies? Yeah, you’re right Yag, it would be bad if the new embellished mace turns out to be better than Conquest Weapons in PvP.”
There isn’t a single game that has WoW pvp that does it even a tiny bit close to as well as WoW does it, which is why people still put up with this mediocre game.
Because it matters so little that if I didn’t go out of my way to look up what they could do I would not know about it. Say we get crafted conquest weapons week1, just like pvers (mind you they don’t get 2h weapons week1), now we also have to upgrade our gear just like them before its at its maximum power. Fair is fair yeah?
Edit: Fun fact, Pvpers get their 1h weapons week1 by the way, oh and we don’t even have to use our shadowflame sparks on it, guess blizzard should fix that and add that cost to even things out.
I picked up on that, still a non issue. Oh I see where I caused confusion, i was talking about shadowflame spark crafted 2hs which require 2 sparks? as far as I’m aware.
If it’s 2 sparks then it’d be a total of three/four weeks to craft. And you couldn’t make the new 2hand embellished mace in week 1. Which has a chance to be a real game changer.
So then they nerfed it from season1 cost? still doesn’t matter.
We get our dps weapons week1/week2 with no cost beyond conquest points and no upgrade costs.
I feel like you just want to be upset at this. It doesn’t matter, it’s not going to impact you in the slightest, but you want to be upset by it so you’re letting it bother you.
Two-handed weapons require two sparks of shadowflame to craft, so earliest possible would be third week. One-hand weapons require one spark of shadowflame.
20k isn’t expensive and it’s the first week of the season.
this “expensive” cost is gonna go down to like 1k later…
literally the whole purpose of crafted gear is to get bis stats on every slot, which was previously impossible, and to get embellishments more reliable and on any slot you want.
previously, the embellishments you would want in pvp were tied to a specific piece of gear with specific stats. now we can choose the gear and the stats.
if your spec wanted lariat, you could not reasonable obtain a max ilvl version through pvp. if you wanted bis stat ring, you either had to get an rng lucky drop from +20 vault OR craft it at a lower ilvl and still couldnt reasonably acquire the infusions to do so.
The perfect fix should be gear with all possible versa variantions or effects buyable with honor. All pvp boxes gives no gold and I already got a job irl to farm gold in a game when I just want to pvp.
That’s because it comes from a new transmutation that uses new mats; in a couple weeks it will be cheap. You can transmute it yourself for like 10k gold atm
I had a buddy who put a magic rooster egg on the AH for “100k” which listed it for 100g and he said it was up for nearly an hour before he realized what he had done.
