I didn’t see anything about the quest rewards mechanic being changed in the notes. From what I understand, ever since transmog was a thing when you completed a quest, you’d get all the item mogs for the things your character could choose from the rewards.
If there were mail shoulders, chest and pants to choose from and you picked the shoulders, you’d also get the mail chest and pants mog. I don’t think doing a quest on one character will give you items that might be given to other classes / armor types to pick.
I’d really love for that to be the case to be honest, it’d be a great time saver to just run through all campaigns on one character and unlock each and every transmog that quests would offer. However - since the game is about engagement numbers, I think Blizzard dangling the carrot being able to learn mogs from boss drops of another armor type than your own will push that engagement since mog farming got more efficient.
It seems Morgan Day said a couple of months ago in an interview with MrGM that not only quests were gonna give all the rewards, but also that it was gonna be retroactive…
This feature and warbands were the things that I had been looking forward to the most for this expansion. Don’t want to do Loremaster 4 times to unlock all mogs (or even 8 times, as some mogs in BC are faction-locked)
It was indeed said during an interview by Morgan Day that all armour type appearance rewards from quests (as they were behaving on the Beta) will be retroactive. Specifically this interview (timestamped).
If only those code wizards over at Blizzard HQ could pry themselves away from their dollar-stuffed Big Macs long enough to glance at the EU forums once in a while…
Can someone who can comment on the US forums let people know about this?
This is the respective US post that has way more traction and no blue answers whatsoever:
oh fun police detected…
this is really disappointing, especially when this feature was known for a long time and only now they say it’s a bug?
It feels like they are just making fun of us.
This is very disappointing. On an expansion where the main selling point is “respecting player’s time”, this is the one thing that will probably put me off the game for good. All these years I was hoping to not have to repeat all these old quests up to 8 times, and now we have a confirmation that it’s not gonna happen.
Loremaster is one of the longest achievement ever, and no one will like to do quests from 4 to 8 times on an account. Collection is a thing, but no one will do 500k quests for collections.
It’s totally disappointing that the multi armor collection feature was one of the most awaited by collectors with the warband system. We have almost fully it on dungeons. Please just tell us that you will reconsider and fix it in the 11.0.5 patch in 3 months and that’s all
