renown was the worst part of shadowlands, bold move blizz
Can't wait to see the reaction this gets.Call me Algalon, because I feed on player tears
They just had to.....
if it's account bound i'm okey with it.
renown was never bad on ur first cov, it was always swapping that was the problem even in 9.0. I dont really like renown but i see its value in giving a sense of progression so this is a good way to do it
Honestly, not a bad move. Traditional rep in WoW rewards players at very spread intervals. If you move rep to a renown-like system, you can give players things more consistently.
Just remove time gating for most of the things... and they'll turn into great features instantly.
Really don't mind renown and this idea, but I really really hope they include the renown boost BOA items for alts in 10.0 instead of 10.1-10.3...
I'm actually ok with this since you work on everything at once.
"We’re looking at how we can incorporate alt friendliness in the same way that we did in 9.1.5"Please just make this kind of thing account wide ffs
I don't honestly have a problem with this. Renown was far from the worst part of Shadowlands. Imo, conduits were one of the biggest mistakes. Not the actual powers, but the way you got them was grueling and Blizzard treated conduits as rewarding things that should fill the same satisfaction need as actual equipment. If you think renown is that bad, try getting to renown 80 right now on an alt. The moment you hit 50, use the 40 renown token and then finish all four zones. Keep the +3 renown turn-ins until 60, then hand them in and you should be just under 70 renown. The rest of the grind is a sneeze.
If this isn't tied to player power, I think this is totally fine. It basically is just a reward track for a given rep as opposed to having x amount of items available for purchase from a vendor at each rep level.
Provided there's no player power tied to these new renown reputations, sounds good.
reusing the name renown is going to freak people the #$%^ out lol
I'm perfectly fine with renown as long as it's cosmetic ONLY and alt automatically get caught up. I'll do it once, but not multiple times
I'm fine with renown returning, but it will depend how they incorporate alt-friendliness.
I liked renown I just thought that your account should share the progress for each covenant so if I maxed kyrian all my alts were maxed with kyrian I didn't mind grinding out all 4 on 1 character but doing it again was the issue.
