Please don't unlock covenants in SL

Another person barely playing the game wants “important” choice ruining other people’s gameplay. Feelsbadman.

Yes please, keep them locked. I now already started multiple new chars of the same class.

You mean like today when everyone who is not Night Elf are rejected in m+ because they can’t skip trash? Oh wait…

you have to fully clear mythic, do m+ on atleast 18 or be a gladiator on these boards to have any opinion at all… actually scrap that last one even gladiators get called out for being bad by the pve overlords that just dont get it

MUST BE OPTIMAL ALL THE TIME :roll_eyes:

but if you want some upvotes just do what “insert badly geared paladin” did and join the forum pals club so you can badmouth everyone and still get upvotes

You can also skip trash in m+ with shadowmeld, look at last MDI tournament. Yet i see no NE requirements when i sign up for m+. So why should it all of a sudden be a problem with the teleport ability?

It disappear but why does it matter?

You pull the packs, you run where you need to go, shadowmeld and the mob reset.

I agree. I have heard that best covenant choice and bad covenant choice damage difference is 40%, if that is true I also agree that percentage should be way smaller.

How does unlocking them affect you negatively?

You will not get declined. Fact covenants are not switchable means playerbase cant demamd after you to have best one. In moment you allow covenant swaping playerbase will start demanding this. Meta works only in enviroment where you have freedom of swaping around best stuff.

If you think peple will demamd bastion covenant as must have when 75% of playerbase is lock in in different covenants then you are truly delusional and gl finding right player with right covnenat.

It makes the choice less impactful and therefore less interesting.

What do you mean less impactful and less interesting?

How come it impacts you that I can change covenants?

If you don’t wanna change it, it’s on you. You can chose not to change it once you’ve made your initial choice.

Exactly, but shadowmeld is good for canceling targeted abilities too.

Not every class can do like hunter or rogues, so it is handy to have.

I do agree with this tbh.
I really doubt the majority will get declined.

Like unless you want CE the first month or so, by the time you reach the last boss you are way less restricted with dps checks or specific comp requirements.

Same with M+.

I do agree tho that there should be less penalties for swapping covenants, but I do agree it should not be something that you swap like a talent.

Yes like he understood the legendary system in legion and azerite gear in BFA. Didn’t turn out great did it?

No matter how Knowledgeable u are in certain areas does not mean u don’t do mistakes.

People ask for specific classes too.
It will become something like ‘need rdudu, rouge’.

It’s impactful since it will have an effect on my future gameplay. In all RPGs I play the most interesting choices I’ve made has been those that had the biggest impact on the rest of the game. Same reason here.

If you can switch them it means that I can switch them, if I can switch them it means the initial choice was less impactful and less interesting. Yes, I can choose to never switch them, but just knowing that I can will make the choice less interesting.

So u tell me that I’d 2 different rogues que up to a group u think they are gonna pick the rogue with the “bad” covenant over the “good” one?
Nope get not picked soon.

Just like today when people with the wrong Azerites get rejected? At which level of gameplay do that occur?

No but as it were in legion when u wouldn’t get invite cuz u didn’t have legendaries for off specs etc.

Might happen once you reach a certain point in high keys, yes.
But isn’t it already the case with classes?

I don’t really think we should design the game based on what will happen after a certain point.

Because once you reach the top end you need to think with your own mind to find ways on how to cheat a certain thing.

The community stigma will exist even if you remove Covenant.
