And in that time not a single achevement poped up in your screen ? Wasent that an obvious pop-up ?
I find it difficult to beleive you did not bother looking at what was going on during your 10-12h of gameplay.
My point still stands.
But it is ! You just have to look at a special tab of MoP achevements and see that you get a ton of extra cosmetic rewards, bronze, and amulets/rings.
The only thing WoWhead does is to find that information for you and present it in a webpage.
For example talent trees. You could pick a build, go to the dummy and run simulations to figure out what is best. OR… go to wowhead that just tells you that information that someone else did.
And if you dont want to do either of those things, just pick the “default” talent selection by blizz.
The info is ingame. Its just that WoWhead is more convenient.
If simply reading something when you mouseover it is too much to ask, or seeing “oh, it´s for this achievement” and opening the achievement list is too complicated, sorry but not sorry. You can only dumb a game down so much before it becomes duplo blocks.
If you´re one of those people that can´t live without having everything pre-chewed for you by mama bird, there are numerous addons out there that will hold your hand for everything.
And this… no matter how many million guides you provide, they´re all are completely useless if people don’t actually read them, as is blatantly obvious in so many cases.
DO we really need to create a guide for how to use a guide?
While I do understand the frustration, I can’t see myself agreeing.
MoP remix has a quest that leads you to the Bazaar, there I would assume (Maybe wrongfully) that in an MMORPG, people would be curious… What can I buy? How do I buy it? What does it cost? What does it look like? and had you done that, you would see both the vendor that sells rings, necks, trinkets, how to obtain these, but also the class tmog vendor.
I feel sometimes WoWHead while beneficial also does harm. You read an article with “Cosmetics you can buy in MoP Remix!” and you take it at face value and think that’s all the content there is.
What I enjoyed a lot and what initially made me play WoW was the exploring, the adventure of finding things as I played. I would hate it, if the game held my hand all the way through… “Oh no don’t go in that cave, nothing useful for you there” … “Here is all 15 items that are BiS for you and we have already scheduled the optimal route for you to obtain these!”
Unless you did 10-70 strictly through questing solo, surely you must’ve wondered why you didn’t see a single neck, ring or trinket drop for you or for anybody else?
Ngl this is on you, if you bought class sets that means you were in a bazaar, and if that’s the case, how did you not atleast look at the npc’s present and see what they had to offer?
Then you would’ve gotten the infinite cloak achievement atleast once, which if clicked on leads you to the achievement page, which literally tells you the rewards and which achievements are needed to acquire them.
If you actively ignore everything new, you can’t blame blizzard for not Shoving it in your face.
Which btw is sometthing others critique about wow, that’s it too handholdy instead of just letting the player enjoy te experience of figuring it out.
This post feels like one of those kids in class complaining that wasn’t enough time for the asignment that was given months of time to complete, but they started a week before the deadline.
Remix guides you to the vendors, it even gives you a teleport to those vendors. It is literally part of the introduction to Remix after you start on the Timeless Isle.
If a person doesn’t inspect the vendors, is Blizzard really expected to hand hold to the extent to force people to look at all the vendors before they can continue? How annoying would that be?
Blizzard does explain most things and systems in game. If people want a guide as detailed as wowhead then they need to go to wowhead, icyveins, other site of their choice. Blizzard even posts regular news articles on the site, they are linked and shared on the forums, they have TWiW to catch up every week on things that are going on or coming up.
I kid you not, when my son was in Primary School some parents complained that the teacher gave the class a surprise test to assess how much they’d learnt. The parents were up in arms complaining that they weren’t able to help little Billy prepare for this unexpected test. They even demanded to know if the questions explained to their child etc.
“Ohh noo, the unexpected test was unexpected and I can prepare for every tiny detail of this kids life, and he needs to know things without having to prepare for it, how dare you?!”
I have honestly only found vendors in remix when my friends guided me there when i hitted max level and was streaming it in discord. But i am not a fomo-player. So i bought a yak for 2500 of the currency and i logged out. I must be on still 70k+ of it, but i do not want to bother.
I am not playing the prepatch. I am currently very tired of having to youtube/wowhead everything in the game. I went to the supposed to be active area. There was nothing there. No idea what to do. I gave up. I also haven’t found the the warbank things yet. Or a quest for it. Again; too tired to again having to google it.
But if I remember correctly, one of the first quests you get in Remix, is going to the Bazaar?
So that means you must’ve completed that quest but not interacted with any of the vendors? Or maybe just completely skipped that quest?
It does, the intro literally directs you to the closest bazaar, you are shown the vendors. They are marked on the map in every zone too and we are given teleport scrolls as we levelled.
Prepatch the vendors are present at the portals and in every zone for their individual time related items.
I really do not understand what has gone wrong with players that they can’t look at anything themselves without having a wordy long guide. The first thing I did was go and look what they had on offer and how much it cost. In both situations.
I knew about the vendors and, yes, the game guides you to them which is how it should be. I didn’t know to start with about the achievements that gave you ring/trinket etc. I don’t tend to look at achievements until I’ve explored a place and done most of the quests. Then I look at achievements to see what else I can do. Maybe that’s my fault, but they’re not the first thing I think of
It’s a language issue.
Often enough, I need to look up a guide for quests in this game, because I simple don’t understand what is expected of me, or where I am supposed to go due the vague descriptions, and no, the yellow arrow doesn’t always point to where I need to be.
And that’s coming from someone who has a fairly good grasp of the English language.
Having a guide at this point helps.
And I also feel that WoW can do a lot better in explaining certain things ingame.
Language barriers I can understand. However looking at vendors is not a language barrier.
In SL I had to google what on earth some World Quests wanted me to do because it was incredibly unclear. Good old wowhead comments are always a lifesaver.
I’m not saying the game never gets it wrong but with Remix this is purely people not looking.
I am just a bad player. I am not going to watch every vendor in the game i see in every city i meet while leveling. That is too much overload for me. And i probably also forgot about them 3 weeks later when i hitted max level.
But you will sit through a creator waffling on about every aspect of something? It’s funny how we are all different. I’m fine going and looking at vendors and friends all talk too. Like one person gets something and the rest are like ooh where did you get that.
I had that with the class vendor on Remix because I after I did my landfall achievement I got my paladin stuff but it hadn’t occurred to me to change the drop down on the menu to see all. So I bought every single class set after that.
I don’t gel with youtube guides myself but others do. I like written guides because nine times out of ten I’m just looking for something very specific rather than wanting to sit through some long presentation of an event etc.
I blame my age, I don’t like streams, youtube, vods etc
I’m certainly not calling you a bad player, not looking is more a case of bad looking skills
I prefer to type in the quest name in youtube that i can’t figure out myself. Usually it is just a 1 minute video. And that is way more clear than reading somewhere.
This seems more like a you issue than a game issue, everyone else and their grandma figured this out, im sure you could too, if you put in the slightest bit of effort. Stop living under a rock, show some interest, it aint that hard.
