Need to start working on getting few of these quest chains done on few alts it seems.Hyped for 8.3!
"Patch 8.3 Introduction questline is one of the longest introduction questlines that Blizzard has made for a content patch in recent years.."I hope there's a dialogue option for "I've heard this all before."
Great job, Blizzard! Even if the essence system isn't great, they'll give us a great questline with good storytelling (and hopefully some juicy cinematics).
"Complete Magni's Intermission up to Harnessing the Power and An Unwelcome Advisor, the starting quest for 8.3, will show in your questlog."...and for Horde players? Or do we have to raid Stormwind to start 8.3? lol(Context: "An Unwelcome Visitor" is the Alliance quest to speak to Anduin in Stormwind Keep)
Majority of playerbase: This expansion feels unfriendly to alts, may we have account-wide essences please?Blizzard: We understand how that feels frustrating, here's an unskippable 1.5 hour intro quest line that must be done on every character.
Two... hours...I have 32 120 alts, that’s 64ish hours doing a goddamn intro questline. What the ever living hell?
Yikes... this will take a good week of 3 or 4 characters a day for me to get everyone their cape.
I don't think they would make it skippable on the PTR since they want it to be tested.When it comes to live, they've added skips to most things over time.I just hope it doesn't take too long to come.
"The questline also has quite significant rewards" hardly call that cape significant its stats r lower than my 445 cape but hey ur opinion right ?
Glad they removed the portals going directly to Vale, when its going to be a major zone this patch...
You should add this in the How to get to BWD section: players who did the challenge modes back in WoD can teleport to UBRS forgot what exactly rewards them tho.
i hope they add a skip option for alts. 1-2 hrs is fine for first char. but alts too? ( yes complain since you most likely play 1-3 chars) some of us have waaaaaay more alts to play. it would take weeks for me to get all 43 chars the cloak.
PSA:Don't expect Blizzard to add any skips to this quest line for a couple very specific reasons.1) They unlock multiple systems through this long 1-2 hour run2) New essences are awarded during this quest chain3) Both of the new faction reps are also unlocked during this series of event.So for them to add a skip, they would have to bypass a ton of unlocks they built into the chain, and I doubt they thought ahead for that in the new server code for 8.3.
