Not only is it not this week apparently, WE STILL HAVE to wait… that’s unreasonable.
But also, they introduced conduit energy system AGAIN (system that was toxic towards players, unanimously disliked and that there was no excuse for - best they did is that some people don’t care, while only people experimenting and trying stuff hate it).
Instead of calling it “energy” they call it “charge”.
It’s the same thing.
Catalyst charges.
It’s a catchup system, you get 1 piece per week, the hope I suppose is that you have at least 1 tier piece by then.
I’m already facing 4p Destro Locks without my tier pieces while also knowing my 4p is bad for most of my classes.
Kinda unfair.
Ye, it’s a catchup system similar to conduit energy, that can catch you up to not be arbitrarily punished.
You shouldn’t really be required to play for quarter of the year before you get full tier set, while others simply won loterry and get it in first 3-4 weeks.
It’s not. You will outgrow the need for the Creation Catalyst. You’ll have all the tier you want, and the only way those pieces could be better would be if you had better base items to convert, the availability of which will be the bottleneck, not catalyst charges.
You didn’t stop needing conduit energy.
Dont ppay RPG game if you looking for fair compettive enviroment.
Granted the timegating on the creation catalyst is awful, it’s in a completely different way than conduit energy was.
Although your comparison is false, i can understand your frustration. This is domination shard all over again. Its actually even worse as the DPS gain is way better.
Which is shocking. Perhaps one could understand if Blizzard didn’t learn from a mistake it did 3 years ago but not learning from the mistake you did literally 1 patch ago? Smh.
No wonder WoW is down from 11-12m to who knows what.
Ironic you called OP out for false comparison just to say this in your own post. It would be an actual miracle if the game was still anywhere near that amount of subs even without the issues it’s been having the past few years. In a game released 17 years ago, people would have naturally got bored or grown out of it, and a naturally declining stream of newcomers to such an old game can’t make up for people leaving for reasons unrelated to the state of the game.
Sure, you are right.
Not to this point though. Blizzard could’ve kept a big chunk of playerbase if it wasn’t for their ego and boomer RPG mentality.
Of course, the quality of the game plays a role in a declining playerbase, but it was going to drop to similar levels regardless. There’s a reason no MMO has, and probably never will gain as many players as WoW did in it’s prime. It’s a different time.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
I’m not sure why people thought it was this week.
It was always going to be week 8 which meant 12 April for NA and 13 April for EU.
It’s not meant to be a ‘you can instantly equip four set system’ it’s meant to help counter bad luck.
Having to wait quarter a year is a bad luck, that is not countered.
8 weeks isn’t a quarter of a year. I’m all for complaining because you feel it’s come too late but lets not exaggerate.
I only just got two set last reset. It’s been a very slow unlucky process.
Brought to you by the same developers that put the Corruption vendor on a weekly rotation.
I really disliked corruption
You can disagree all you want but it was back in 2014 that WoW reached the 100 million unique subscribers count and at that point only about 7.6 million active subscriptions. As the game gets older completely new players get fewer and fewer so there just aren’t as many players coming in to make up for the players leaving anymore.
Yes and 8 weeks isn’t guaranteed to provide you with 4p either. Not even 2p.
So let’s not understate it, okay?
12 weeks is… and I’d call 12 weeks pretty much quarter of the year, what do you think?
I love conduits
They remind me of azerite armor from biffa ^^
Ah! I see you are tacking on the time to make the tier.
