Yeah, they really needed to do something to make remix more repetitive & grindy /s
Seeing "Bronze Upgrade Discounts" made me instantly hyped up, but apparently we just got an article about how 2+2 equals 4...
There should at the very least be an account-wide achievement that unlocks a 50% (or more) discount for your alts when you max out your gear on 1 character.
Yes, and this is the main problem are 100% xp isnt accelerated leveling.Cloak of infinite power achievements end at 11 because 11 is infinite.Cloak of infinite power should be account wide.Gear upgrades are extreamly high.Scaleing is stupid.50k bronze a day to upgrade all gear 1 tier level. Wanna play sod? Cata classic? Retail?Well thats too damb bad jimmy boy its time to grind bronze for the cool rewards.
what discount?
What are you talking about with discounts being account-wide on retail? I've never ever had an item have a discounted upgrade cost on an alt, even if it shared an armor type with my main. Am I missing something here?
not gonna play alts until blizzard team doing something over gear upgrade on alt and cloak
Gotta love the push towards discounts now.... after everyone has already gotten the mounts they want and stopped playing that trash.
I know it may be an unpopular opinion, but I am choosing to not upgrade my gear past 346. I have been doing decently enough to do outside content and normal scenarios/dungeons. But in a little under 3 months Remix will vanish and I will be much happier to have spent that bronze on every mount, toy and transmog I can. Because those I will keep moving forward while the gear will just be replaced within a few War Within quests.
At maximum level, upgrades are necessary to continue growing in power beyond the maximum drop item level 346 at level 70. This is the point where the costs become prohibitive, as there is no longer any upgrade discount - even if you already have a 556 item level character on your account!Once you upgraded your gear to 556, any new item can be upgraded to max level from 346 on a huge discount on the SAME character. So.. another lie? Thank god there are no upgrade discounts account-wide.
How do i even get a Bronze discount? I cannot find it anywhere.
Upgrading gear is rather pointless since you won't keep the gear in TWW anyway. Blizzard won't tell us what iLvL the gear will convert to (although I know SoSoulBreezy threw out 424 at one point). Spending so much bronze to upgrade your gear to max only to lose a LOT of power in TWW feels terrible. While I know a 556 iLvL toon will likely not upgrade their gear in TWW until probably 78-80, that's something players are already familiar with from past expansions. If the gear converted straight over to equivalent iLvL gear in TWW, it'd feel more worthwhile to spend the bronze to upgrade said gear. Since the iLvL of gear we'll be getting is still unknown, it's pointless to really upgrade that far past 346 unless you really don't care for the cosmetics. My aim is for 400 iLvL and I don't intend to go past that unless I get what I want first.Getting the flightstones discount on retail servers once you upgrade bronze gear is rather interesting and makes it more promising for those that don't do high end raiding on retail, but want to bet that's a bug and will get fixed?Bronze upgrade costs should get reduced and it should be account wide. The cape really should have also been what was advertised originally and account wide. This feels like a novel to movie adaption where the only things in common between the novel and movie are the title and the characters (and even that's iffy). We got told one thing and got something else. Only thing that stayed the same was it was MoP and we got a cloak.What I'd honestly like to see an article for on WoWhead is what iLvL (and potentially threads on your cloak) do players need to actually solo scenarios (normal and heroic), dungeons (normal and heroic), and raids (all 3 difficulties). That'd be far more useful compared to some of these articles lately. That'd give me something to aim for where if I actually try to join a premade group and get denied I know I can still do the content anyway.
