We're discussing introducing a system that has similar vibes to Reorigination Array back in Uldir, the first raid tier of BFA, except we'll be leveraging the quest system. It'll buff players over time. Right now we're looking at the buff capping out at about 20% increased player power while you're within that raid and that will also apply to your Warband! That'll be cool, that'll be something that if you come in later with your alts, you can have that extra player power across everyone on your account for that content. Depending on how that's received and how well that achieves our goals, we'll look to expand that system or try to tie it more closely with our itemization system. There's a lot of ways we could expand that itemization, but we wanted to try to do something for War Within. original Reorigination ArrayThanks to AMRSevered StrandsStrength of WrynnPower of the Aspects15 timesSevered StrandsThe Finer ThingsNerub-ar Finery

Comment by clockwork333This has some uncomfortable pro-confederate associations for the Devs, very disappointing.Comment by MikeMJGPlease no. We don't need things make easier. Just let it be a real raid. Getting bonus power is just another way to allow players to rush through and not need as much power or experience to do so.

I miss the integrity of the raid system. Where raids were supposed to be the greatest PVE challenge. Where it would take weeks/month to get a full clear on the highest difficulty. Now its all easy mode rush as fast as possible.

Everything should be make HARDER with each xpac. The challenges of TWW should be tougher than the raids of DF and DF tougher than the raids of Shadowlands and so on. Instead, it's the opposite. Every xpac, there are more ways to rush through, to easily beat the raid in easy mode in all different ways, like special buffs that increase power for no reason whatsoever other than to make it easier.

We do not need to change the entire game just to cater to people who chose to create tons of alt characters and who feel the need to do the same exact content with all of them. The game is based on you playing a character. Not based around you playing dozens of characters. These needs to stop before it goes too far and then everything becomes easy mode just for the sake of altaholics.

Maybe we have a barrier setup. If someone hasnt completed at least half the game's content on one character, then they can't make alts (or can't have them go higher than the last xpac's level cap)Comment by Dlucks83Please no.
