I know that there is the issue of flavour, but I just wish that they would settle on a sytem and stick with it, instead of inventing different currencies, stones, powders, gems, Azerite, badges, etc etc. Or at least keep them throughout an expansion instead of creating new ones every patch.The current upgrade system seems good, but over the last few patches I've lost interest in gear progression because of this relentless churn. I can't be the only one. This should concern developers.
Having one, be it a more complicated one, gear upgrade system for 5 tenants of gear is an improvement I feel. If I want to earn crests in Rated pvp and use them to upgrade Raid and M+ gear I should be able to. It's more complicated than it needs to be, maybe, but it is also more convenient than ever to upgrade various gear sourced from all over with the same currencies.
I think this new gearing system will be banger. You just insta upgrade a slot, even if it has worst stat, cause later on when you do get your best slot, it only costs fp to upgrade cause of the discount. I think this will be so good. I used to sit on my valor for the longest time, felt it was the worst currency. No more, thank the gods the valor is gone
The entire crafting system + the changes to rolls again from personal loot is genuinely why I gave up raiding and content in Dragonflight. Shadowlands was exhausting with the legendaries but this is legitimately a lot worse and a lot more confusing. Someone coming back after a break should be able to pick up the system easy but even as someone who's played religiously since cataclysm I'm finding this right now incredibly convoluted and having to ask 4000 questions from friends to even understand it. I don't mind having a system in place but please by the light just find one that's simple and user friendly and doesn't need mental gymnastics to work out.
New system is garbage for m+. Good luck farming your gear in +17 pugs while preying to rng god
I guess another two dozen articles, about 20 more videos from different content creators, hundreds of threads on forums and maybe two months into the patch, majority of the players will FINALLY understand what's going on! 😐
This video "gearing system explained" is rambling and confusing. There are better explanation videos and guides which are clearer and more concise.
Why are they making those ridiculous, repulsive and exaggerated facial expressions as banners? You're such ridiculous big guys.
Imagine if Wowhead actually had an article on how this gearing system worked instead of just linking to the work of someone else. :)
