I am usually an almost Blizzard apologist when people get upset over something bone-headed they have have done or shown little care for their customers. But not on this. This is completely pathetic. Rather than fix a few prices for vendored items, they destroy the whole relics system. In any other business, a lot of people would get fired over this. Blizzard deserves all of the tons of criticism they will get over this.
Why did they even bother if this was going to be the end result?
so yesterday i bought some mats to craft gear for my new twinks... with this change this new feature is now completely out of the window and has basically ZERO use
Pretty disappointed about this. Blizz should revert this if possible. I was looking forward to trying this system when leveling a new toon, but it seems to be that crafted gear is more or less useless again when compared to even questing gear.
Inside Blizzwow HQ: "Sir, they've started crafting again! The gear -- it's actually valuable, provides a meaningful upgrade, and makes it worth the time to level your professions!""You fools! What have you done? Nerf that sh## before it's too late!"
This is... a bizarre change. I thought the intent was essentially making crafted gear evergreen, with each new expansion they'd add a rank to bump stuff up to the cap of the previous. Now I think it's actually worse than questing gear?
I really dont understand whats going on....my bet goes to the fact that probably 10 are doing the work of 30 or something like this. How can a big company like this can be SOOOOOOOOO MESSY! We are paying for the game every month for this? IDK i'm speechless
how utterly stupid of a decision, hopefully they revert it
crafters can't have any useful gear. In their minds it'll broke the game completely, even if is just a normal raid ilvl gear.
they did the same think with the crafter's mark and the profession in shadowlands. We had a lot of options with optional reagents in alpha, they removed it all, looks like it was too much fun for us. Then they removed the crafter's mark 3 and 4, that allowed us to craft a gear with a normal ilvl, this would break the game boys...pathetic
Why?
like... who was complaining about this? everyone gave positive feedback, and they ruined it. They also removed relics from any dungeon or raid patterns so those options are all gone as well.too bad :(
Pathetic change, when I finally logged in and found out that my gear on a fresh lvl 120 / 50 toon is already better than I can create with overpriced regents and relic 5.....i could not understand what's the purpose of this at all like wtf
Sorry, I’m still adjusting a bit to new scaling. Where does ilvl 56 and 87 even stack up? I know ilvl 100 is essentially 445.
What was the point to develop this system if it has no use? Can someone explain
I honestly am not sure what the point of the relic is anymore? other gear is better for leveling. the only thing i can think of is using a relic 1 to downgrade gear for tmog sells and lower listing price. Am I missing something obvious in the intent for the system?
Personally I checked yesterday and on the PTR we were able to craft ilvl 87 items (lvl 50 needed in order to equip them). I tested until 23h (Europe time) and decided to prepare a lot of comps yesterday in order to be able to craft a large amount of relics of the past V (in order to craft items for my rerolls, guildmates and AH)Today I logged in and saw that they changed that without warning and now I have a huge amount of comps in the bags for nothing. It's a very bad move from Blizzard as it was one really good idea (to be able to create items for lvl 50 chars) and now it is useless as f.
