Crest upgrade requirements are off

So normally you can upgrade Weathered 45 crests to 15 Carved, then 45 Carved to 15 Runed and so on after you “outgrow” them i.e. cannot spend anymore.

But apparently this season it’s not that. You use Weathered crests until 678, but you only get the achievement and the upgrade option at item level 681. So I have 120 Weathered crests I can’t spend OR upgrade now because in a few slots I haven’t got a Veteran or better gear piece yet.

What gives? Was this a mistake, or a weird intentional way to slow down gear progression?

Wouldn’t surprise me.
They’ve been pulling multiple such nonsense this season.
They already nerfed progression time in season 2, compared to 1, so there’s absolutely no need for this kind of nonsense.

They’re making the game worse for the more casual playerbase in favour of high end players and it’s despicable.

Likely this. The whole season smells slowdown. So far this season has been one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Weird, I have felt the opposite. Season 2 had much better and more rewards for delves (not to mention they were easier too), AND Horrific Visions AND so so many sources of crests and valorstones from all the old sources + Undermine + Nightfall + visions again. Mythic+ was much easier in Season 2 too.

But if they want us to gear slower, this is such a strange choice because of how nonsensical and unintuitive it is, and goes against how their meticulously crafted gear upgrade system has been working so far.

I haven’t noticed any difference from season 2.

I’ve played shadow priest, guardian druid, holy priest in delves and they seem to be on the same level as in season 2.

I meant between Season 1 and 2.

S1 delves were harder, and they also gave much worse rewards.

The difficulty between S2 and 3 so far looks the same to me.

so ironical that im way more progressed then in s2 and way way way way more progressed that in S1

i did my firsts 10s in time today on day 4 of patch - never in history of m+ have i progressed so fast .

this season is literal casual bonanza .

Why rushing? Season will last more than 6 months

Oh it did. But they made it slower to get at the start.
Late season it was faster, for sure.

Oh I was strictly talking about delves. :blush:

I’m not talking about M+. I never reference that, because I have no experience with that content nor do I ever want that. :sweat_smile:

And yeah… They nerfed Delves because of M+ and raid whiners, probably.
Because that kind of thing has happened again and again and again over the last 10 years or so almost. And I am sick and tired of it.
