Claiming Bonus Rolls in Season 2 from Great Vault Requires Three Filled Slots in Same Week

Gearing Changes in Season 2recently announced many gearing changes for Midnight Season 2Nebulous Voidcore

Blizzard

However, the resulting pace of gearing in Midnight Season 1 was a bit quicker than we initially intended due to a combination of the unlock timing and the number of Voidcore rolls per week, and the increased relative value of Mythic+ dungeon rewards was particularly detrimental to Heroic raiding.

Heading into Season 2, Nebulous Voidcores will be available as a Great Vault reward option from the beginning of the season directly from the Great Vault UI. Decimus has decided to pursue other projects but has generously offered to train Orin Straylight in the basics of weaving Nebulous Voidcores from void energy. Orin has relocated to the Catalyst in Silvermoon to continue his work. Once players have helped Orin kick off his research at the start of the season, he will require eight weeks before being able to provide players with one Nebulous Voidcore each week. Orin is significantly more independent than Decimus and will not require additional weekly quest effort from the player during his research.

This immediate access to Nebulous Voidcores as a Great Vault reward is intended to allow players to begin progressing towards their desired items from the start of the season in a way that offsets the reduced quantity and later timing of supplemental Voidcores.

Comment by DreadfuryDKThis is honestly fine. With how absurdly strong Bonus Rolls are next season I think it's extremely reasonable to require a full set of raid bosses/dungeons/Delves to take one.Comment by EudeyrnThis is honestly fine.

Edit; I assumed it was an entire row and not one in each. These details matter.Comment by SublimeChaosSeems kind of aggressive but there aren't any real arguments against it except "I don't want to play".

Heavily. It took me way too long to figure out how the GV will work with cores and I thought I would have to do 8 keys if I wanted a core the following week.

Please explain it differently than....whatever this is because I'm clearly not the only one confused.Comment by Greyvaxit's insanely easy to fill up the world activities row (delves/prey/zone events). everyone should be farming delves for crests anyway in the new season.Comment by PhatymcdaddyHonestly, this article needs to be edited.

this article title is misleading - makes it seem like you have to unlock bonus rolls weekly by filling vault, or that you GET bonus rolls weekly

but if you have a good piece of gear in vault it wont matter i assumeComment by StripedYukonSeems kind of aggressive but there aren't any real arguments against it except "I don't want to play".

These details matter.Comment by CentiasIf the work-around is just spamming some T1 delves, then there's really no reason there needs to be a work-around. It's just creating busy work for the alts.

A little inconvenient for alts. If, in the end, rolls can be purchased off the vendor for tokens this is just convenience and nothing actually changes.

The bigger concern for me is that it seems like picking an item over a bonus roll from the vault does not remove the item from the bonus roll loot pool. In terms of loot tables that have more than a single desired item on them this makes it so the 'correct' choice most of the time is the less exciting/fun one. Forgo choosing the actual item in favor of the bonus roll. Because whatever you get with the bonus roll is removed from the loot table while taking the item directly from the vault runs the risk of your future bonus rolls on that loot table giving you a useless duplicate item.Comment by Elunario1 Heroic / Mythic 0 dungeon, and then 4 Tier 1 Delves.Comment by edelleaSo, the exact same requirements but QOL of just clicking a button instead of taking the coins and buying at the vendorComment by NeylThat's a bit rough, especially for altsComment by GabrijelCzBullsh*t!
are we supposed to wait a whole week to see if we get an item or take a bonus roll (and only one at that) and then hope that the bonus will drop what we need? this is even more RNG than what we already have (like yeah it's great that we can't/shouldn't get a duplicate but only 1 per week seriously?)
with the reworked catalyst the RNG is even bigger this is nonsense
Blizzard is really trying hard to force people to play their broken game next season when they're the ones who broke it and there's no sign of any major improvement
there's nothing left to do but pray to all the RNG gods to get what we need as quickly as possibleComment by NnycoSince they made world content a vault option, getting 3 slots is super easy.Comment by DaliaFaithBullsh*t!
