Gating the allied races sucks. Sucked since the BFA annoucement. Probaby another side effect of Activision
Are they playable on the ptr? I want to see what a transmog I've been planning will look like, when I finally get my zandaladin.
I hope this isn't another First Archanists Manasaber thing where Bliz tells us that the races will unlike in 8.1.5 but in actual fact they only unlock in 8.1.5 after you do some convoluted quest line requiring a number of weeks and various trips into raids to complete.
Wonder how long it'd take people to realize that 8.1.5 only just now hit the PTR and probably won't be out on live until at least March. Just get in a normal pug (if you're using a useful class like lock or one with lust/hero), do your normal rotation while not being stupid and standing in the fire, or do that one wing in LFR when it comes out.Unless you're hardheaded, whiny or just lazy/entitled.. you're going to unlock Zandalari or Not Zandalari on day 1 of 8.1.5.
If 8.1.5 is on the PTR with the Dazar'alor raid and these long awaited allied races... does that mean they are coming out at the same time? Last I heard, the raid is supposed to come out on Jan 22nd, so will the races be available on this date as well?
After playing BFA from launch till now, I have a strong sense of feeling that Blizzard did everything before the launch but they just chose to release the content pieces by pieces, potentially prolonging the life of the expansion and squeezing more subscriptions.
Raid-locking by far is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I was planning on rolling a hordie so I could go through and get the Zandalari, but if they're seriously putting them behind a raid then that means there's no reasonable way to get them for non-raiders until 2 expansions later.Seriously I don't know what Blizzard's trying with this expac. They add loads of grinding, remove incentives, homogenize rewards, and there's the scummier @#$% like releasing the flagship Allied races over a year late and that stupid "vault" bundle scam they were trying to pawn.Playing WoW now feels like wasting time. Needless to say I won't be renewing until the next expac at this point. There's plenty of great games that I can play that don't act like this trash.
OMFG. People would get so mad about the long stretches of zero content between patches before Legion. For good reason! But now you complain about having more things to do, because you actually have to earn something in the game, by playing it very casually. This is why devs leave. They can't win. They can't make the player base happy, because either that's not possible, or the thing that actually makes the player base happy IS complaining, and making the devs feel like crap.GG WoW players.
You have to complete in-game content to unlock something in an MMO? What a crazy concept! It’s almost like it’s something even the LFR zombies could accomplish.
Hurr durr story is bad. Btw can you make these new allied races just automatically agree to join our causes, NO I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO PLAY THROUGH A STORY IN MY GAME. If this makes you quit the game, Please, for the love of god, never come back.
On the flip side of this issue; we will easily be able to tell which players are actually willing to put in the bare minimum amount of time and effort into the game. If you see a Zandalari player you can be assured that he at least has the skill to handle an LFR.
