Luckily for me these essences are about as useful as a sphincter on my elbow.
I guess it's not so bad that it was removed from the achievement credit, but nerfing the honor the quests gave when the general honor grind is a pain is just stupid.
Are you sure those quests were weekly? Because I made a fuzz about the Wintergrasp one not granting the 1500 Honor to my character, opened a ticket and everything, because I felt cheated it was a one-time quest that I couldn't ever do again.Those quests aren't blue exclamations, they are yellow. None of my toons got to complete it more than once. The level 80 ones were weekly, the level 120 ones aren't.
This kind of junk leadership is why people started playing Classic. These devs still aren't getting it. I can see I won't be coming back for a while yet.
Its Blizz why are u surprised.... u have to farm like idiot that's blizz logic they want to keep u to farm like idiot everytime everyday to keep u in the game …. the ppl they are thinking those thinks they should be out of there
I already wasn't doing the essence grind on alts. In fact I'm barely playing alts because of the unfriendliness of so many of the BFA systems. This latest news simply cements for me that I was correct in shelving alts. I have no idea what Blizzard is thinking with many of these changes, but when they consistently punish players by requiring greater, and greater effort, something needs to be re-assessed.But the premise regarding being able to grind the honor "casually" is inaccurate. The quests cited are seasonal, per character. Not weekly.
Hum, what are those "weekly quests" this article refers to ? Unless it's Horde specific, I'm quite sure those quests don't exist
Keep Rank 4 at 100k honor. Reduce the amount for Rank 2 and Rank 3 dramatically.
I already dislike PvP, so putting in PvP type essences that have an effect on PvE content was already a downer but to make it even worse to get...? I just don't understand.
Garbage. Fel. Cursed. Trash.Completely trash decisions over and over...
I don't PvP but wondered if I should play around to get an essence...I am wondering no longer, I'm staying away from this part of the game.
I got it up to rank 4 on one toon, but not doing it again.I would think they'd do something like this BEFORE making essences account-wide, but ... we'll see.Merc mode is one of the many things that would cease to be a headache for Blizzard by making the factions looser.
Yeah this kinda sucks.
They're going backwards on this, but it's not surprising me at all. This is yet another of many %^&* decision they've made during this expansion.I wish Ion & his !@#$ team would just go to Mars or something.
Well I HATE BG's. But I was too bored so was thinking about making Blood of the Enemy... With those nerfs... Blizzard go to hell and farm BG's youself. Seriously...
Since the quests are once per toon per season, not weekly, I see zero point to this "fix" being done now. It should have been done during the PTR.I took the trouble to get rank 2 of BotE when I thought that it was going to be a "best" essence. At that point, I realized the rank 3s that I already had were better in most situations and more than good enough to do Mythic 10s. Rank 3 BotE will not be obtained. Edit: To be clear, I made that decision weeks before this "fix."
