I am just going to stick to the covenant that I chose on day 1. Who cares about covenant swapping? They are literally training people not to care about the game ...
Still looking fairly... purple
I'm still gonna stick with the ones I chose from the start, because I chose them for armor and power and I like them. Not so interested in min maxing, just want to have fun playing.
Change covenant... then change again after heroic week tuning... then again after the inevitable .5 patch... then again after soulbinds start reaching max and that other one is better again. But it's a "meaningful choice" right?
im in the correct covenant so Im good
the meaningful choice of doing 20% less dps because you dont want to be a fairy kekw,night fae soulbinds are extremely good for some specs because synergize so well with some talent and CDs like demo tyrant and not even going to talk about affliction
And they will say they're careful about balancing covenants/legendaries/specs to not insult our time spent. Yeah most Fire Mages are going Arcane and Kyrian, most Hunters will swap to Kyrian..Poor protection paladins either go Venthyr for Raid or Kyrian for m+.. Like, it feels SO bad knowing if you pick one, you're probably going to have a harder with the other content. Covenants were a massive mistake. And 9.1 fixes none of the issues people have with it. Renown Catch up, sure. What about all the anima you have stored up? I know guildies who need to swap who have a reservoir of 35K anima.

I’m to busy re-crafting my legendary to worry about re-leveling a new covenant. I’m beginning to feel frustrated on these stupid and unnecessary engagement metrics…It’s like throwing money in the garbage, but for a small fee.
People should be able to play their spec without being scuffed. Period. Covenants were and are a terrible thing to add to a game thats literally about minmaxing every aspecr of the character you play. There is no meaningful gameplay loop attached to covenants, no reward, no nothing. The fact that the devs thought that this would make a good system is astonishing. And the fact that Ion and company still go around today in interviews defending this garbage is downright shameful. They should at least admit they screwed badly and make covenants purely cosmetic. Thats literally all thats needed. Instead they go on developing 48 useless legendaries nobody will play cos their undertuned. Just my 2 cents anyway.
Y'all should make a "lets make patch notes" game, where "A" class writer criticizes others suggestions.I wonder what needs to be done to make most (all?) of your writers say: "any covenant" for every spec.
That undead plague fly mount for the Necrolords in 9.1 looks really cooloh yeah i'm a paladin and their covenant ability sucks deek... guess i'm a Kyrian... again... Sadgemeaningful choice btw. Do you want to be significantly worse... or.... not? Very difficult and meaningful choice.
Agree, just like everything else, caters to the people that want "this is bad, this is good"Theorycrafting and playing has been and still is the place to figure out what the "best" is, where you can make up your own mind if you're willing to trade 10% damage reduction for 85 dps, for example. After all, doing a little math is part of the fun of the game
yeah blue and purple
