On the PTR, you could use already purchased “add a socket thingies” (since I am very good with names I clearly recall what they’re called) that you bought in 9.0 with stygia to add a socket on a twin empress neck.
Soul ash is grindeable in 9.1, so it’s not 4 weeks, it’s just a lot of running torghast.
Doesn’t really make the half thought through system better, but it’s at least not timegated.
I have heard enough of the 9.1 endgame and legendaries & sockets to not wanting to do anything with it yet.
If I am to do such daily/weekly work I would rather put it on a real mobile game that I can take with me at all times (and one that has less power creep within 6 years than WoW has within 2 content patches).
Until 9.2 then only flying, story and classic while waiting for the 1 month sub to end.
Not sure if it’s infinitely grindeable for Soul Ash only or Soul Ash + Soul Cinders, but for Soul Ash, you can repeat it as often as you want, while receiving less (than your first run each week) Soul Ash.
So yes, infinitely grindable, just not sure if also infinitely grindable for soul cinders.
You can only trade the tokens to create items to your alts, thus only ilvl 200 gear. The second you turn it into an item, which you then could upgrade, it becomes soulbound. Similar to how timeless Isle gear worked. Not sure if there’s anything similar to the “Breath of Eternity” or whatever the upgrade item was called.
The second legendary upgrade currency has a limit per week. Earliest you can get to rank 5 would be the second torghast week it includes this. You also get it from the Covenant assaults.
That is the secret of the last ~8 years of the mainstram entertainment industry captain, They do not learn.
They will sooner run a franchise to the ground than engage in constructive cooperation with their paying customers
Idk about videos, but i followed PTR updates so yeah kinda. I just missed the last weeks of updates so I may have missed details
One per covenant, unlocked from renown & upgrade your cov ability iirc.
Rep grind & Torghast drop if you did a great run afaik. New leggos crafted have a baseline gem socket to them too
First level drops from BOA gear tokens around LFR ilvl, can be upgraded up to 3ilvl below heroic raid gear but this is gated behind renown so it doesn’t conflict with the gear progression from raid, pvp & m+ at least for a few weeks. Requires serious open world grind to get there too so any serious content would be a better time investment.
What I’m worried about tho is that the domination shard system seems to be working in PVP & M+ beside the set which is definitely not what they initially announced.
Well I like learning by doing, even if a bunch of people above don’t
The week ending 6th July is an opportunity to explore and familiarise myself with the new features, especially Korthia, which I am still totally ignorant about. I can always read up a bit on the last day if needs be. Nothing really starts until the 7th anyway.
Well that was out of line cannot deny.
Heres my apologies, sorry.
Don’t need to worry about banning me as I’m pretty much done with this game, this kinda become a realization point.
After this I have taken myself to here
Just not enjoying this game anymore, tired of the direction it appears to be moving in and have just been missing some much needed QoL basic improvement,
mostly for me I feel this in the bg system as that is what my play has eventually been reduced to and it all just take so long and really uninspired, there no excuse for it.
I have no real doubt, things have been made pretty clear, even where they don’t wanna communicate certain things. The actions as a company say alot in-game and out,
you do not have love for games only a love for money and it really just feels like they taken up taxidermy.
Over years I had some moments I enjoyed but evidently it’s time to move on.
Don’t need a 50/50 split or wanna ever continue paying some custody just to see my wow character babies I spent all those hours on, you can keep em
Also if you, blizzard, call that thing you uploaded on youtube a “survival guide” then sorry im out of words. Thats a preview trailer and not a survival guide.
‘‘franchises’’ mean nothing to the bankers-owners-investors who control blizzard and most other ‘‘AAA’’ maker companies, only $ matters.
Maxing profits.
Means cutting on costs (fire staff, outsource GM support, less resource wasted on production,cinematics, content) while raising income (shop, wowtoken special bundles for ‘‘anniversary’’, timegating content for player retention, FOMO etc). Capitalism.
I’m giving a last chance to this expansion, gonna play for a few weeks after the release of 9.1 and if it’s really bad I’ll go play another MMO that respects my time.
