This sounds terrible
Here for the angry overreactions and misinformed hot takes on a datamined and probably incomplete implementation.
So if hero gear doesn't use myth crests at all, we now either have to cap "gilded" every week just to get crests we can actually use, or run pointless baby keys just to get the crests we use? Also this scaling cost nonsense is terrible. No thanks.
Yey more gating , thats what we want , gated gear , gated raids , who knows whats next :D
We are gonna be close to ilvl 300 in the first season after the squish? Holy
Whether this winds up being good or bad depends entirely on how the crest economy and weekly crest caps work. My default guess would be that since the average per-level cost is becoming 30 rather than 15 in this system we just see caps and crests gained from everything double.
I don't like the whole crest system, getting 90 crest every week for like the first 2 month of a patch is getting more and more painful (and you gotta grind again with turbo boost, the worst event ever. "uh you gotta grind AGAIN this season to be strong, this is new content! (crest limit removed but for some reason, you don't get more crest)"the removal of valorstone is good, no idea why they existed in the first place.they shoud remove crest or double all crest source because unlike gear it doesn't feel rewarding to farm a currency.
Unless they set the cap limit much higher or uncap it totally, its gonna be a torture
Hm, so crests now overlap at the end of one track and the beginning of another. This'll make for some interesting gearing upgrade decisions
This honestly sounds so much more cumbersome and complicated than the system in place.
Seems promising but they should just remove overlaps amongst tiers completely. This is just a different, moderately better version of our current issue.
Im gonna refrain from crying too much as this is still early alpha, but the current system live is almost perfect. If it gets ruined because of the people who cant do two world quests to get valorstones for upgrades, I'm gonna be saad.
It would be a classic Blizzard move to take a good change like removing valorstones and make it suck by making crests worse, but we won't really know for sure without knowing how crests will be acquired in Midnight.
