New Soulbinds and Conduits?

The Blizzard guys said they will create more soulbinds and conduits in 9.1.

But why??? Who the hell asked for that???

This turd borrowed power system creates way more problems than it solved: covenant imbalance, meaningless ranks, bloated loot table, etc.

I wouldn’t miss it for 1 second if soulbinds and conduits are completely removed.

Why even make more of them? What is next, make more conduit energy???

How do new soulbinds and conduits looks:

  1. More OP > players use
  2. Useless > players ignore

Now now… since it’s new stuff that Blizz wants us to use, they’ll make them OP anyway… so option 1 go go go!

Soulbinds and conduits are unnecessary system from the start. They are nothing exciting and nobody asked for it.

I have no idea why they still want to waste time on this clearly hopeless system.

Is what Blizzards do.

But hey that 9.3 patch will be amazing when the systems become more friendly and flexible, right ?

And who asked you about your opinion?

Forum is a place for players to express opinions.

You know there is no need to come to forum if you are scared of others’ opinions?

Ridiculous :joy:

And it’s their game to develop so I guess you don’t really have a say in what they do. Also I love these announcements.

Isn’t it nice how they’re introducing new conduits… but we still have broken initial ones?
Maybe fix them??

Bugged Conduits/Soulbinds aside, I’m glad they aren’t introducing another system and are building on a current one for a change.

You know what they didn’t say anything about? The energy recharge system, when you have more stuff to replace, but you made a system to withhold your initial one, it means it isn’t fit to work with a larger batch of items to replace.

Per short energy recharge is “balanced” with our current options. Extending those and not extending the recharge system is an oversight.

I’m willing to bet they won’t touch on that and just let it live like it is.

Blizzard thinks the seed is not OP enough.

We need more broken and buggy soulbinds!

Idk how they let the seed go live, if it was another company they’d at least disable it for arenas until they properly fixed it…

Kevin Martens:
“We’re also adding an Empowered Conduit System. You can take individual conduit slots and empower them to unveil either more power or more abilities. No abilities [examples] as this system is in very early development and we’re still testing it.”

More time wasted on an unnecessary and useless system. Yay!

This. There are probably a couple mandatory conduits for each spec they could’ve just made passive abilities you learn for example at lvl 53, 57 and 60 or something.

Oh so they’re gonna empower my broken conduits? How cute.

No one but they sinked enough time to make this useless system that they can’t affort to drop it.

what the hell is this thread… I lost too many brain cells reading these comments, do you people even know what what you complain about???

every expansion, there will be some specific core systems to build on and play around, and in shadowland they are legendaries and conduits. if they dont expand, enhance and add new powers to this system what are we even try to achieve?? ain’t no one want to scrap all of these and do a completely new system to break the game like the case of BFA

In case you didn’t play wow before Legion, the borrowed power system was only introduced in Legion.

Before that, it was just gear. Players gear improved every tier.

gladly didnt play before legion cause that sound boring as f, this offers more options for players to interact and find new gameplay with their base powers,
of course blizz need balance their system, its clearly imperfect but to upgrade your character with only gear and stats sound dead as hell.

So long as they make several competitive I don’t mind. The intended leggo buffs shows blizz are mindful of this at least, so gaps where they exist are small.

Not like BFA where new essences were largely (at least one) BIS so there was real choice offered, it was simply a case of “oh yeah forget the old one you want these new ones”.
