I know it has been asked in a way before, but just to clarify:
On the early access, will we be able to get profession points at all? Like a normal reset with 7 days instead of 4? Or do we have to wait 3 days for our professions to start…
Ion has stated that professions wont be available untill reset, but as the technical weekly reset is wednesday 9 am ( on eu servers ) whereas launch is at 0:00. Would that give us that extra time? Since real launch is saturday at 0:00.
This would mean wed only have 4 days for our professions till weekly reset.
Anyone that can provide clarificarion on that from blizzard?
You can get profession points but not specialization points/long cd recipe.
I think the vague choice of wording from them was to have fewer complaint because profession only area of the game you get an advantage if you start with early access.
The primary purpose of the early access period is for leveling. Players will be unable to do Mythic 0/Mythic+ dungeons, loot the best items from rares, access weekly profession cooldowns and profession specialization points.
“Specifically, the early-access period won’t have most end-game advancement opportunities, he said. At the launch of Dragonflight, which occurred for North America on a Monday, players couldn’t do many things until the weekly reset on Tuesday. Early access will be the same, but will give players a bit more time to hit maximum level before that reset, he said.”
This would indicate it becoming available after the weekly reset 9 am in europe. unless hes speaking of next week? Hence my question.
Hes not being thorough on his explaination, leaving alot in the dark.
I dont want to start grinding on an alt knowing it has no use and i have to wait a week.
Like I said, love the rewards, I like to collect things, the 3 days early access for buying the biggest pack, horrible idea, cruel to loyal players that might not have the best of income, you’re punished for not paying the full price, you have to sit and wait 3 days, while knowing others are playing, actually bad move by blizzard, hope they never do that ever again.
I bought it, cause I collect, and the 30 day gametime, but awful idea, hate it.
I have asked numerous times for evidence that you can level say herbing, mining or skinning, enchanting from 1 -200 and nobody can provide this. My understanding is you cannot level professions nor specialization points. There is no indication that you can even tap nodes. I guess only time will tell not long to go.
I guess people are also punished for not being able to buy an expensive house, car or clothing?
This is down to the choice of the individuals, no one is being punished apart from those who want to play the victim card.
If people want to play those 3 days earlier as well… well there is this amazing thing called WoW Tokens, which you can spend your gold on to get battle.net balance added to your account to then upgrade that version.
If you do not have the income, then you have no right to complain about more expensive versions of things.
To me this 3 day early access is a rip off because it’s an extra 9 euro/day basically for very few advantages . I don’t know if i’m going to buy it RL>GL .
Still even from an financial perspective it isn’t much “access” .
Exactly. I wish they would be more open and actually publish exactly what you can and cannot do with professions for those 3 days. Right now as it stands its a bit vague. Anyway its only a short sprint to the finish line so we will have to do a wait and see.
Not going to argue here but I don’t see it the same way. Whether you play 3 days longer on DF or 3 days sooner on TWW with limited restrictions. You playing the game and using time.
Oh I bought it, I could play beta, I am speaking for some people in general, I just think the 3 day early access part is unfair for some, I were invited to Shadowlands Alpha, and Dragonflight Alpha, I played both, I respect those who play Alpha and Beta, that quests, does dung, etc making it easier for blizzard, reporting bugs, etc that’s what I did in Shadowlands and Dragonflight, it did however spoil a lot for me, so I have mad respect for those who commit through the entire Beta.
I don’t like the idea of early start but I got it myself.
My comment will be this - if you are THIS MUCH into professions you shoulda made enough gold to turn into tokens to buy the high tier TWW version for gold.
