Before the neigh sayers start the silliness the point is that my time it took to farm the fel succubus not once but 3 times over as you needed the glyph for all 3 specs took me days of endless farming to get
How is this fair; yeah i hear you Blizzard game they can do what they want but on principal alone lets say next patch they decide to take all your mounts and replace them also with grimoires or some kind of similar system and now you need to farm them all over again or lets say they take away all those pretty mogs and now its start againâŚ
Point is; this is blatant disrespect to the effort I had to go to to farm them in the first place which is frankly why they can not maintain a customer base if thereâs no longevity to anything
Your pets I would not have minded farming the others but if we farmed them already they should already be unlocked without the need for more hoops for something I had a few days ago
In some ways yes I canât say your view is incorrect; but again whats to stop Blizzard in 3 years taking that away too
Which is my point; if Blizzard can on a whim simply spit in your face; take away the effort you put in just to force more play time for the same thing then no I would rather simply quit playing the warlock as the effort is simply disrespected when its 1 of the so few elements of longevity the game offers; unlike something like FF online does where everything you work for is still yours years later
And just an fyi I farmed the damn glyph 9 times; as I liked the pet so much I didnât mind the grind 1 bit but on principal alone will not be doing so again
I feel its different this time as before it was a single use temporary visual change for one specific character. And if you changed what one you had, youd have to get it again.
But now its a permanent unlock tied to your account.
So they can keep track of it a lot better.
They probably just couldnt work out how to track who has what and so went with the simplest option to roll out these changes.
Personally i see no reason to worry about having to farm it again after this change.
They always say that, oh but its different this time, trust me the misses used to say that a lot about her ex but I wonât go in to that as Iâd likely get banned but Iâm straying nowâŚ
You could well be on to something with that but then my argument would be; they will have them in a database some place as theyâd simply change each time you logged out before this ever occurred
Permanent for how long as Blizzard in their oh so infinite wisdom make no manner of finding a middle ground where say people had certain pets unlocked you would get these grimoire in the mail as you already did the farm before to show the paying customers that their effort, item etc was respected but
my base argument is still the same; whats to stop them in 3 years taking it away again as its a âchange in game playâ
Which is fine just donât disrespect my gamepaly from having already farmed them
Again you could well be nipping the issue they faced in the bud though they will have records of people toons in a database and as the company we pay to play with its their responsibility to be able to record them
Thatâs where we differ, may well be they donât change it again yet considering they changed this on a whim why would I give them my time and effort to do the same thing again down the line. Frankly find it difficult to trust in that; whats the saying once bitten twice shy
To make it short: it **cks but it is common practice from this company. Remove content (often as a stealth change) to re-implement it as ânewâ content.
I litteraly have thousands of hours of farming gear for twinks that got their gear destroyed by multiple lvl squish. Last in date my old lvl70 frost dk with dual warglaives. Both now requires lvl 30+ and i am 29. Canât even get into black trmple anymore. Took me 2 years to get both.
Sadly it does seem to be the case, I mean I didnât start playing until early BFA but always found how gear is rendered kind of pointless for the effort you put in each patch wit ha need to re farm if you want to be anything near âbizâ a pain but gear wasnât exactly hard to obtain and it was always fun trying out a new class or spec even if you suck at them ^^
Though will admit with lower gear drops I scaled back the alt army quite some, to instead focus on a few I enjoyed more (Including the locks) which sounds like you have a similar experience when losing for âgear destroyingâ as you put it. I get that well, hence the scaling back
You could get a good idea what makes them tic alt classes now which helped my own runs immensely but then yeah similarly though will admit having the glaives on your DK whilst being blocked from Temple sounds like a headache and after 2 years canât even imagine how sour that must make you feel at times
Hope though; it improves for you so that some of those hours donât feel to bad
I had a couple of skins from craftable glyphs (Shadow Succubus and Wrathguard) as well that just went poof, gone. It set me back some thousands of gold which admittedly I could afford, but itâs still annoying and shouldnât be happening. On PTR just logging in had it working correctly, but why expect that to translate to the release buildâŚ
Iâm not too happy either, half of my dem onic army just⌠evaporated
It was time and gold - I habe both , but others not
And still no grimoaire of supremacy to have a parmanent Infernal Tank like in Legion
Try to submit a bug report. If this is something they overlooked, maybe they will try to fix it. Good luck!
I tried to farm the Pusilin skin on my warlock after this change (never had it before) and I got bored after 10-12 attempts. I donât think I will bother to go back to Dire Maul for it again. Having to grind bosses with low drop chance for skins is not fun.
Guess itâs a bit messy for them to fetch data on glyphs and give you the related achievement, or whatever they use to unlock/restrict the customization options.
