Yes.
Short answer for M+ and PVP players 100% yes for raiders probably not but maybe yes
Start of this week would have been perfect for its release. 2 weeks too long imo.
way too late. It's like they want new and returning players to quit the game. Why do they always have to make season 1 so miserable compared to the rest? Balance druids aren't even playable before 4set, such a huge damage is gated behind this 4set, and classes are balanced around this as well. Same with valor cap. 750ish is a joke. S4 was very fun since it wasn't weekly capped, and people where enjoying alts a lot. Also, helping a friend/guildmember wasn't a big waste of time either. Now I'm just sitting on valor, not sure what to upgrade, saving it for a rainy day. Stop making Season ones miserable please.
100% yes, let the catalyst open the next reset that the world race is done. The first one takes 2 weeks to get the 2nd charge, then 1 week, then 6 days, then 5 days. Like you can gate it a little more but just release the thing.
Yes just give it 2 weeks after the launch lol who cares
Literally everyone agrees it’s at least 2 weeks too late. Should’ve been this week or last
Probably something like releasing the catalyst immediately and having a longer cooldown at the beginning would be more attractive.For serious raiders, there is literally almost no advantage in getting one more set from catalyst in the first 14 days for example, because they are splitting heroics like madmen anyways.For all other ppl, its an opportunity to get 2 set in the second week if lucky, or in the third week guaranteed.... i think that doesnt hurt anybody
why would the analytics suggest to release the catalyst now.... Well aluminium hat firmly postioned ontop of my brain area....Money... Bring you in with the expansion, release the raid over xmas... Let's not go there.Avg time to complete the raid/normal/heroic/hahahaha mythic for the pleb class....without accessing 3 options of teir loot the pleb class are either IMO very lucky or well behind in accessing gear.I'm not salty about not accessing mythic gear, that will come but the tier value is so high. A simple 2p on ret adding close to 3k dps on single target. That value is incredible and don't even go there for what 4p looks like. I've been fortunate to clear normal and 7/8 heroic on my alt each week and yet to complete 2p, including LFR when it has been available. This simple time to open is extremely frustrating from a player base already demanding greater bad luck protection in terms of loot and rewards vs effort in game.Dragonflight has in a whole been great. The levelling, the zones, the grind. It's been some of the best wow I've enjoyed since Wrath, legion and parts of others but the experience has been wonderful so I'm not just a doomer. I legit just feel the catalyst (something they've introduced knowing their loot rolls are in a bad state) would have been calculated in this last reset just gone if not before.
4 weeks into the raid tier would've been perfect. Waiting this long is 2 weeks too long tbh. No reason beyond the first month to hold it back.
Question about the Inspiration Catalyst: Are the 385 iLvl Primal Infused versions of the Storm Sigil (Primal Storms) and Trophy of Strife (warmode) gear going to be convertible to tier?By the way, crafting professions may feel relevant again for hardcore players such as these two, but the average player is going to actually lose gold if they attempt to invest in crafting progression. Open world and solo players who could actually benefit from the crafted gear don’t have enough soulbound mats such as Primal Chaos to even craft, unless they have been looting hundreds of treasures.
It should've been released last week. I've gotten 9 item vaults every week, I've full cleared the raid every single time since release on normal and out of the vault last week I got my 2 set bonus (I got both pieces out of the vault). The people I play with are fully geared and I'm stuck at a 2 set bonus. And the only item I've gotten from raiding so far has been the dagger 3 times, because I'm usually the only Rogue.
Agreed, YES, at least two weeks too late. I've only seen one (1) tier piece no matter how many groups I'm in or great vaults I loot. Many Hunter mains also seem to be in this boat. One guildie with a Hunter alt had to pay big gold for Mythic raids just to get a better chance at his tier gear. More power to him, but I'm not shelling out like that. Bad enough most of the Valdrakken gear is useless to me after I hit 380+ iLvl. Unless devs are nice enough to allow us to upgrade those pieces? (shhhh! they'll decide to hold that option another month for more "feedback"!) *eyerolls*
As a primarily M+ player I agree it would have felt ok if they released this week or last week. Waiting another 2 more weeks seems stupid. Most people are already done with their KSM/KSH goals.I've also fully capped conquest on two characters (3/3 great vault rewards every week) since the season began and neither of them have a single piece of tier. Feels really %^&*ty to delay it so much for PvP too.
I still only have 2p and have been clearing all lfr, nm and hc bosses since they are available (with only hc raz missing week 1) :D
So it's launching next week, when you can gather up to 6 charges across your account... If only there was a way to reduce some kind of number, and introduce it earlier....
Yes.Yes it was.
