I think it's enough. They should refund all gold players spent on heirlooms and heirloom upgrades after so many nerfs through the years.First they nerf stats to the ground so they are worse than quest/dungeon gear, now XP bonus is gone.They are worthless crap now that we spent hundreds of thousands of gold on... This change feels like a huge scam...
Hey guys, we're making levelling faster in Shadowlands! *applause* Btw, we also removed xp bonus from heirlooms so the net change is actually zero... >.>
Hopefully they replace the heirloom experience boost with speed boosts and the like. They could be a good way to deal with legacy raids and dungeons; wear the heirlooms at the right level will give you speed boosts and damage modifiers to ensure you can do old content regardless of your ilevel with your normal gear.
I rarely get angry at something Blizzard does. Disappointed, yes, but rarely angry. Taking away XP bonuses of Heirlooms pisses me off. I spent so much gold on those things and for what? I didn't use them all that much tbh, but I still spent the gold and a lot of it to upgrade for the xp bonuses...and now they are removing it. That is bunk.
Throw heirlooms in the trash where they belong. Gearing up is an integral part of mmorpgs. I hate how heirlooms removes that for no reason.
AH HELL NO, I didn't spend all that time and gold getting my heirlooms to the level they are now just to have it all wasted by removing the exp. buff form them. If that happens I better get back all the gold and currencies I've ever spent on the upgrades on those exp. pieces.
I've always said just give an account wide XP bonus of 5% for every toon on the account at max level and cap it at 30-40%. Also give folks the ability to turn it off. Let's see what they come up with now.
Getting the last +15 mount cost me a friendship. Screw getting another. Actually screw mounts in general if they're adding yet more 'limited time' garbage to this game.
YOU DID WHAT TO HEIRLOOMS?what even is the point of them now?
Lol at everyone complaining about experience from heirlooms being removed. Wait until you see what the new leveling experience is like before trying it. I swear this community sucks more and more every day.
"They removed the experience bonus from heirlooms."yeah well I regret upgrading them now.
I kind of saw this coming with removing exp from heirlooms. My theory was different to their rational (gearing been an integral part of RPG’s, keeping the same Armor for 120, levels felt stale), and I kind of expected they would just apply an account wide bonus exp to replace it. Curious as to what they consider to be as meaningful as more exp..
You leveled faster in BfA without looms on anyway (so if you wanted to use them you literally had to swap them on any time you turned in a quest). Part of why I didn't bother to upgrade more than one set, and I guess I'm really glad I waited. I'm waiting to see if they reduce the price of looms heading into Shadowlands due to the level squish before I make any further judgments on this, but the tedium of swapping these on constantly during BfA leveling was enough to make me not use looms so.
There are all kinds of things they could do with heirlooms instead of experience. Speed buffs after killing / reducing fall damage / shorter hearthstone cooldowns / increasing rested recovery / "blast" "bleed" "poison" "leech" procs on weapons / aoe taunts / better stats / buffing food / summon an ally.But yeah, they have to put something meaningful back on. Like many I spent hundreds of thousands of gold on upgrading them. It's likely some folk did so with real world money as well. Blizzard are on thin ice with people's goodwill here.
