Blizz was having far too many wins with this expansion so they needed to make up for their lack of usual incompetence somewhere!I think the best part of this is that Ion openly admitted the Catalyst came out a couple weeks too late in SL Season 4 and then made the same mistake, but worse in DF.
I'll finally be able to get my first piece of tier set for my warrior since I didn't get any in the vault doing 8 keys a week since week 1 of the season, it's fun to be 2400rio and have 0 set piece, the fun part is that the fury set is so bad it doesn't even matter.
Yeah, this is subscription panhandling nonsense.If the raid gating is back in S2 then that's where I part ways with this expansion. People don't want to raid in this game anymore, deal with it.
I really don't get why blizzard does not want you playing alts. You think they would encourage alt play in order to retain players but they just continue to discourage it.
This shouldn't have been delayed for so long and it only made thing sucky for others wanting to have a tier set.
FFS...just to echo what others have said, why is this out so damn late...new loot system is kind of a bummer, so many good things in DF but the loot and this coming so late really sucks. But hey...at least it's before LFR fully releases in this summer lol
It should have been there on raid release, plain and simple
Honestly this is too early, should've waited until we only had one week of the patch left to validate raid gearing.
I mean I get it. Blizzard wants people to raid, they spent all that time and effort on making a new raid. I think, as well as most of us, that raiding isnt like it used to be, its more of a job and alot of players dont want another job. M+ is where the fun is at, always trying to improve a score to better yourself. To escape the toxicity of M+ people will still raid and thats why the timegate, is if it was a catalyst release the first day no one would or should be raiding.I am one of the unlucky ones. I got 1pc and I run M+ at least 5-10 times a day.with that being said. it should have been released 2 weeks ago at the latest.
Again, Blizzard is going to f*ck it up, timegating from its finest.More suggestion to destroy the gamefun in DF:- Reduce the possible crafts to professions to 1 per Day!- Buff the MM Hunter (PvP) 2 sec. are too long to 1-shot everything, you can do that better.-Reduce the professions to max. 1 per Char. So everyone need minimum 6 alts and is busy with leveling for the next 6 month. (The co-owners say thanks!)- Always calculate which set classes currently in a raid group and just drop those token from those classes which are not in the raid!- Bring more DF mounts which we cant use in this extension!- Never buff other tanks and keep the Warrior with its unique mechanic skips, spell reflect! There can be only one, The Warrior! and re-inro the emote for other possible tank-classes /roftcopter- Bring more Dragons which are completely useless in other extensions, remove the re-colors option, and just provide 32 other variants which player need to farm for the next 12 month.- Every healer should be Evoker now, if not, buff the Evoker +20% to all abilities, so that the desire to play something else (than Healer Evoker) is nipped in the bud immediately . If necessary, secretly change abilities (and do not update tool-tips) should simply all need 50% more mana to all abilities. Except the Evoker of course.- The is still potential in Trash-mobs abilities, just add more CD on the player abilities, that you need basically 8 man in your 5 man Dungeon M+group more abilities so your 5 man group need 8 player to interrupt a trash-mob pack.-Trash-mobs have not enough life, add 1000% more life to them, make them unkillable (with the 8 man in a 5 man Dungeon concept)- add more ground effects, every 5 key-levels add 1 more affix, thundering storming, trash-mob voids, are still too less.- It is random group faults if they do not use internal chat option, when enter a Dungeon automatically enable all player microphone.- Support the Hardware industry better, add more effects, enchantments as example, so every player need a minimum of a 4090TI NV card..... <add your own ideas>
I'm glad this finally got announced. However, if you raid a lot, I can see this not really being worth it. And of course, I have to factor in the timegating since if you were really bothered, you could always just make alts for that purpose.
should've come way earlier for PvP, loving the new pvp gear system, but what's the point if there's gonna be a tier set imbalance anyway?
Some people say its locked behind the Dragonscale renown 24 quest line.. is it true or troll?
Can we mog items that are not obtained from raids? I get loot from rares that is near or on same level as normal raid gear so would be nice to mog them
I want to know exactly who benefits from waiting so long. PvPers and M+ mains get the short end of the stuck because they're not doing the preferred content by blizzard? That's not cool. And saying "hur dur just go raid" doesn't fix anything and it's unproductive. Not everyone wants to raid. So miss me with those replies.
Guys, the Catalyst is a means for bad-luck protection and catch-up for alts. Neither in SL nor in DF it was meant to be a main source for set gear. Anyone thinking otherwise is delusional in my opinion. The main source for set gear is, well, the raid. The first bad luck protection is the vault, and now there's the Catalyst. So no, releasing it in mid-season is not too late. BTW, I have never seen anyone complaining about accessing PvP sets. Why can't we get the whole set after two weeks into the season? Without doing PvP of course. Please stop your unrealistic assumptions on easily getting meaningful gear without doing relevant stuff for it.
