So, as we’ve been told, season 3 will not have Puzzling Cartel Chips for LFR. I am absolutely disappointed and confused by this decision. Season 2 had them, so why not now?
It’s the last season of the expansion, so it would be nice if everyone could participate and not be excluded. It seems very elitist to me.
What are other people’s thoughts on this? Am I the only one who feels this way?
It’s a bad decision.
Blizz should be moving away from the “raid or die” mentality and they keep yoyo’ing it.
The worst is I doubt its malice, its just incompetence at this stage. “Oh oops we forgot”.
Can you still complete the Quest with 4 M+? And can you buy Heroic raid gear without even stepping into raid? If yes, it is still not that bad…
I’m gonna wait and see tbh.
All through the event in Season 2 the quest did not say it could be completed in LFR but it could.
It feels like a deliberate design shift to increase demand for raid boosting and by extension, tokens.
Just like the last turbo boost, yeiiii.
That’s a good point.
I guess, there’s still hope.
If you knew what I really felt it would be dark disbelief.
Kind of hilarious in a twisted way.
Launch into Turbo-Boost October 21 - Community / General Discussion - World of Warcraft Forums
The US seem pretty upset about it.
You most definitely are not. I think this a stupid decision and pretty much will just make me not play alts meaning I’ll play the game less in the end.
However I do kind of expect them to change it, either before TB or in the first week.
I really don’t understand their thinking with this at all. Last time we had the thing with oh no you can’t have mythic level unless you kill the boss and now this time we have no LFR. It’s the last season before Midnight. What is their problem.
I’m not entirely willing to rule out a communications mix-up at this point, Blizz has 99 problems, and communication is definitely one of the biggest…
Wasn’t it the same last time? Quest didn’t mention LfR, lots of righteous indignation, and on live it turned out LfR actually did count.
Launch into Turbo-Boost 22 October
Take up two new quests to earn Puzzling Cartel Chips by defeating 4 raid bosses in Normal difficulty or higher from Manaforge Omega or completing 4 Mythic0 dungeons. Completing the one time only quest Turbo Boost: Trade Must Flow will reward players with 3 Puzzling Cartel Chips and the weekly quest Turbo Boost: Infinite Growth will reward 1 Puzzling Cartel Chip. Players will be able to earn a maximum of 9 Puzzling Cartel Chips per character.
Tbh, do LFR only raiders really need the higher ilevel upgrade?
Its rare to find an LFR only raider who actually cares about gear or progression. clearly they are just super casuals.
Personally i would add it in, but this way, guilds will be incentivized to do guild raids just to get those chips, rather than have people just wing it in LFR.
They dont need it but some feel entitled to it
I think that any player, regardless of how casual they are, would like trinkets that aren’t lame and/or boring, or weapons with cantrip effects. Veteran-track versions (Like the LfR-drops) don’t cut it, when even casual players can get full champion (Or if they farm Delves a bit, hero-track) items already.
It’s not as if giving three hero-track items from the raid is game-breaking (Not at this point in the season, anyway), but it’s fun though.
All this prodding and pushing to get people into normal+ raiding just doesn’t work, never did, a handful of people will buy a boost, but most people will just ignore it (And be a bit more disgruntled than before), the one result of all these “Let’s make players step up”-attempts is proving that players will sooner walk away than “Step up”…
Even stepping into four M+1s gets you these cartel chips and if you are not doing even 4x base mythic dungeon weekly, what do you need this items for is my question? You can still get the LFR versions of these items…
Guess the inability to complete the quest in LFR is less of an issue than presented.
Don’t need it, but would like the weapon mogs.
Could give me the appearance without the actual gear for all I care.
Maybe give lfr appearance tokens instead of actual gear?
I really hoped they would’ve gone the DF s4. You could get whatever you wanted and could upgrade it as high as you were able to, and if you didn’t need anything specific you could use the tokens to buy the raid appearances.
Raiding is so dead, they need to make you do it through Cartel chips. LMAO
if that isnt proof enough that people would rather do m+ than raids , that they have to come up with unique ways to FORCE you to raid.
raiding is boring man
glad im done with the season, wish everyone else goodluck in this forced REPLAY
