I agree with the change, the Legion artifact weapons are essential to the storyline of Legion! Go and get your artifact weapons everyone! They did change in item level as you quested in Legion and every time I do Legion content, I get the artifact weapons which are better than the green weapons from the quartermasters in the Class Halls! The purpose of doing Legion in Chromietime is to do the content as it was originally setup so don't be lazy and in a rush to get to 50. besides we have some time before Shadowlands, after all there is no new release date yet!
so instead I have to equip ilevel 35+ artifact weapons, and thats just with only a single relic in it. not much of a "nerf"edit: it appears my slotted +14 item level relic now requires level 40 but it doesnt affect the ability to equip my weapon. so yay?
Did they fix the food yet? Picked legion for chrome time and all the food in dalaran is too high level to eat.
Party's over boys
Blizzard just wont let twinks have fun and play how they want. It's sad really.
I was so excited when I noticed that the weapons hadn't been level restricted with prepatch release! I still followed the artifact questlines, so when they fixed it yesterday and the weapons became unuseable (while still equipped technically) it wasn't a hard reality to face. These weapons are so overpowered for anyone under level 45, and clearly that was not the intention of them being sold in the class hall. I would like if they either nerf the weapon and lower the level for level 10 Chromie Time people, or (better option) just make another one that is like "Beginner/Light " so that CT people doing the artifact questlines still have options for their offspec weapons. Even if they don't change it/add another, it doesn't matter much, as CT seems to be working well at actually adjusting the stats properly (as far as I have seen leveling so far). All that said, I won't lie, it was awesome being a level 14 warrior with two massive stat swords (like the article picture above, except a troll!) ;p
Ok maybe this is a dumb question but seeing as how artifact weapons were a huge part of legion and acquired near immediately after entering legion, what about those who choose to do our leveling through legion? Kind of ruins the whole idea of legion being on the xpac list from chromie as jumping into legion at 45 doesn’t make sense with new content starting at 50....
These weapons were there to help players get artifact weapons for specs they don't have weapons for yet. While current version should not be available for level 10 there should be some way to get needed weapons for your current level. So either make some way to scale those to level at which you buy it (similar to how quest rewards are) or add several different ilvl versions of that weapons to vendor.
For those who are confused, which I've seen a few, this is about the green weapons bought from the Order Hall Quartermaster, not the artifact weapons.Also, if they're nerfing this, they'll likely be doing the Garrison mission table ilvl 40 tokens next, which is a shame. Those over-ilvl pieces made poor scaling in places bearable, so this change may have a negative effect on the playability of some expacs.
the original intention is that they were weapons for offspecs for people playing trough legion.levels 10s are playing through legion.
