If the time to move on from vendors is here why is the last boss dropping tokens that we use at a vendor....
So this is basically one free item less we have to earn first. Especially for guilds that's like a massive setback if a whole raid roster has one item less each, I guess
If they're keeping lost boss curio drops and adding a vendor for them anyway, it really defeats the purpose of the catalyst charge change for KSM/AoTC. Gotta grind 7s+ for a hero item now.
I still prefer the old version of getting a piece to choose from, instead of charge
I'm like super duper casual nowadays so this change doesn't effect me, but I still feel it's kinda weird to not give the tier set piece of your choice from the achievement. Like, getting an extra charge just is strictly worse no?
What in the actual #$%^ is going on with this dev team? Listen to your community restore the achievement token and move on.... You obviously have no idea what your doing and have the vendors in place and thus your previous statement is factually incorrect. So just don't even say anything about the previous post, just revert the extra charge idea and move on.
We cannot say it enough, but the change from a token to a catalyst charge doesn't make any sense and is just a worse version of what we had up until now...
Yeah this is still a very stupid change, given part of the issue that people will face is you have to get a piece of gear that you can catalyze in the first place. In which catalyst charges are very precious in the early season start, so its going to be that much more challenging to get your tier set. Which is what the achievement originally served to do, yet to walk it back in the manner that they did is just asinine.
I'm curious why it's so hated? It doesn't actually change anything really, does it? If anything, it means you could get a tier piece that needs 1 or 2 less total upgrades to save on crests, by getting a a piece of gear to start at 2/6 instead of 1/6 hero track. The argument that you need an item first is kind of meh since you'll be getting drops over the course of your m+/raiding (idk about pvp) anyway, and it's not like you need a specific item. Just any 1 of whatever slot you're after. It's not actually that bad. Maybe this is a bad thing for rwf? No idea, but for myself who solely pugs aotc and 3k io ea season before breaking til next, this isn't much of an issue. Please feel free to enlighten me on why it's actually bad for the majority of players though. I could be missing something or misunderstanding others grievances, and I don't mind learning.
Take away one of the few systems that make sense, yep thats my blizzard.
Massive Blizzard W! I hated being able to deterministically choose a piece of hero track gear I earned from an achievement. Instead, I want to rely on my insanely horrible luck in acquiring really nice gear, and then catalyzing it for worse stat priorities just to get a set bonus. Thanks guys, this is a huge change, makes total sense, and should make everyone happier than they were last season! /said no one ever
At this point expecting anything other than incompetence from blizzard is a fools endeavor.
This is legitimately just a tier token. Not exactly groundbreaking.
Given the %^&* RNG and massive loot pools that exist in M+ the removal of the KSM/AOTC token is baffling. I guess it’s just another way to try to improve their M+ numbers instead of addressing the fundamental issues that exist in the game; namely that tanking sucks and they keep actively making it worse.
