No lifers who can play hours are now 20+ item level higher than everybody else… Whoever makes your decisions at blizzard needs firing because every decision that has been made apart from maybe a 2 or 3 in the past 2 expansion has just pushed more and more people away from PVP… Well the game for that matter
booo hooo i dont play game but i dont want others to progress too
people been asking for cap removal for ages and they finally do it and everyone is crying lol just because you dont have time doesnt mean others have to fall back for it especially when expansions already ending let people who actually consume product and play the game enjoy it and not lock them down because someone has better things to do irl
I always love it when people complain about nolifers getting a headstart because they invest the time pretending they will meet them on their bottom mmr and get blocked from climbing.
Good change for everyone. If you only have 1 hour a week you would still fall behind because you can not get as many vault options. Atleast now you get to pick the gear you want and if you happen to have a couple hours extra one week you dont have to worry about the cap. Also nice for omega gamers that wanna try a different spec that requires different stat prio but dont have 2 characters.
gotta say the experience this season took an enormous nosedive as soon as conquest got uncapped. insanely unfun change. my friend who plays once a week stopped playing as a result, completely pointless to go through weeks or months of unfun sessions while people farm their rbgs to gear up instantly.
not that it’s their fault, just what the game encourages you to do. but it’s not fun to play against people who have far more gear than you do, nor is it fun to feel pressured to play a ton to keep up, especially if you don’t have the time to do so.
used to be able to log in and play a bit, cap conquest, get a vault or two and be mostly keeping up. no more.
no, it’s not a good change for people who play a smaller amount. the games you play while you slowly gear up are consistently unfun. and the future doesn’t look any better because soon the 305 players you face every other game are going to be 310 every game. in the meantime wew you have a couple new conquest items. why would you play the season when this is going to be your experience for the vast majority of it?
the horrid honor grind has also gotten even worse now because it’s not limited by conquest.
this season is spam play or don’t play. if you play in a chill way you’re gonna have a bad time. god help you if you have multiple characters to gear up.
on blizzards defense the majority of feedback regarding pvp this season was to make conquest uncapped.
I think its fine to try it out in this experimental season but i imagine they wont do that in every season. Its fine if you play only one char but playing alts is terrible. I didnt play my ele for a little bit over a week and its almost unplayable now at the rating i am.
just because you have the time to no life the game 24/7 doesnt mean others cant play the game? see it works in both directions. Most pvpers are not 14 years old anymore and cant play this game 8 hours everyday. The conquest cap is really good as it enables you to progress many characters simultaneously.
yes also this. Everyone plays rbgs to insta yolo gear but nobody is enjoying it at all.
There is no downside in having a conquest cap in a regular season.
You argue like this but you are the guy on a bicycle driving in the middle of the road and trying to convince the angry car drivers behind you that they should adapt to your 15km/h
Nobody is stopping you from driving slowly but don’t try to block the way for other people who want to play the way they want to play by imposing arbitrary rules just for your own personal benefit.
if we’re gonna use this silly analogy this season’s gearing system is more like if you dare travel by bicycle you get repeatedly ran over and killed by lunatics speeding down the road. so either you speed yourself or you get off the road because there’s no place for you anymore.
think it’s important to let people play the game and have fun without a requirement of playing a huge amount. that’s what the cap does. uncapping valor was fine, but valor is different in that it is a pve currency and that it does not buy bis gear. someone else doing 100 m+ runs doesn’t make your gameplay experience worse, but the same is not true for pvp currency.
funny seeing a video from venruki about this. guy literally plays this game for a living and was having trouble keeping up and having a bad time. but ultimately doesn’t matter, the cat’s out of the bag for this season and in the future it won’t come back. perhaps if there’s a “s4” of dragonland.
God I hate it when some cyclist is on the road on his tour de france suit when there is a bicycle path/walkway next to the road
I dont go running on roads infront their cars either where ppl trying get home after work etc like a challenge to cars if they can drive faster than I run, that would be extremely bad estimate
worst example possible. I am the majority. The majority of the playerbase dont have time to nolife 5 characters and be full conquest on all of them in one week.
Even most streamers who play the game for a living dont like the removal of the conquest cap.
Uncapping conquest is just another big wall that keeps new players away from pvp.
There is literally no downside of having a conquest cap. Its just for progression purpose.
Seems like the majority of you are missing a couple of key elements that this is A) an ‘experimental season’ and B) the season is very short.
For people that enjoy playing to get to max gear, the enjoyment of that is short lived. Granted they could have just increased the conquest cap, but it’s really not that big of a deal, you’re just tilted for a couple of weeks.
Having rating blocking players for decent gear is the worst thing they have ever done. DF addresses this until next raper dev activates his godmode once again.
Its annoying that game has had so many good expansions and then some completely clueless raidsperger kills it.
