7.2 "challenging" artifact tint sources

[Deleted]

http://www.wowhead.com/news=259618/7...hallenge-tints

Tint 1: series of unique solo scenarios for all specs

Tint 2: Defeat Heroic Kil'Jaeden using this Challenge Artifact Appearance.
Tint 3: Win 10 Rated Battlegrounds using this Challenge Artifact Appearance.
Tint 4: Defeat all Legion Dungeon Bosses using this Challenge Artifact Appearance.

The requirements are a mere joke, to be honest. Hopefully they're just placeholders, because I'd imagine something like:

Tint 2: Defeat Mythic Kil'Jaeden
Tint 3: 10.000 World Quests
Tint 4: +20 mythic+ Dungeon key in time

As they are now, 99% of players probably won't unlock all 4 of those tints inside of Legion. Is that still not exclusive enough for you ?

[Cronovey]

Why should they have to be difficult?

If the scenarios that are mentioned are actually as challenging as they're supposed to be and prove you're a master of your class, why tack on a bunch of ridiculous requirements like Mythic raid bosses for recolors when the entire point of that artifact appearance was proving personal mastery of your class?

[Usagi Senshi]

So I'll have 3 of the 4 (I don't care for RBGs) eventually on my main and 2 or 4 on my alts.

Not too shabby.

In a world where everyone has access to everything, only prestige and exclusivity mean something. Thats why you have more details on mythic/elite PvP gear, so why not get exclusive tints for people who master their spec beyond a solo scenario?

give raiders more stuff. typical blizzard.

Just going by the suggestions you gave in the OP, what exactly is prestigious about completing 10,000 world quests?

...and why do you want this to be a complete "I have no life" challenge?

I swear this game is gonna do a Cataclysm times 10, because by now there is so much shit to do, the average Joe is just gonna go "Fuck you, I give up" - especially if that average Joe likes alts.

I mean...I was thinking that maybe I max out one artefact on my main and kinda go 35 traits on some alts? And here new traits are added in 7.2, so the grind could go on indefinitely?

And you wanna crank it up for 12 classes?

What is your point exactly? Everything you said could be easily spinned as an argument for people who just like playing one class and enjoy being rewarded with cosmetic rewards because above average skill and time investment. Blizzard also confirmed that you can get ALL skins and tints even in the next expansion.

Nothing, it was just an idea. 10k WQs is certainly something which not alot of people have or will have.

This comes from a solo scenario, a la Warlock green fire.

The challenging part is the scenario, not the grind you suggest. Also you forgot a PvP option for your suggestions, not everyone finds joy in doing m+ you know.

Getting the first tint is supposed to be pretty challenging. If that is true, then I am 100% cool with unlocking additional tints being relatively easy.

[Yuyn]

10 rated battleground wins is already an insanely high bar for a requirement.

Raiding game rewards raiding....shocker? not really.

[SunspotAnims]

Well I'm confident I can complete the challenge to get the new artifact model, but I don't want to think that I'd be locked behind other arbitrary requirements if I happen to want a different color. Still, the patch cycle is still early so I'll wait and see how things go.

[FayrenPickpocket]

I don't know if I'll ever bother with the RBG one, but the others seem fine.

"...and why do you want this to be a complete "I have no life" challenge? "

THAT is my point.


Yeah, I totally want do do 10 000 WQs as you suggested "in the next expansion" (etc) - If you thought "exhalted Laughing Skull Orcs" was bad, 10000 WQs seems atrocious.

The 10k WQ achievement is account wide (if you like alts <3) and generally... it is just an idea. You are free to replace it with 1000 unique battle pets. Mythic end boss kills require raiding, even guilds who raid 6h/week will eventually kill the endboss as long as its current content (see Archimonde). And +20 mythic+ Dungeon in time (or something similiar) requires skill rather than time.

there is more in WoW than just raiding but raiders always get what they want. everyone else is basically told to fuck off

[Deleted]

Yeah, ok. I still take the Blizzard requirements, thank you very much. I can live with the fact that you hope they are a joke

Dunno, maybe play the game instead of wasting your life and posting in every thread of this board. If anything, there are already several artifact skins aimed at different play groups, but this particular one is called "Challenging", and there's nothing challenging about them yet. Maybe they'll make the solo scenario really hard.

Yes the end game is raiding. I'm sorry you should probably find another game that the end game isn't raiding...

Those are the extra tints. You can't use them without unlocking the base tint, which IS a challenging and lengthy questline.

[GrizzlyLight]

They stated the new tints would be about PERSONAL class knowledge etc etc etc
So clearly, killing Heroic (edit not Mythic) KJ isnt much of a solo/personal skill, can be carried through that at some point
RBGs, teamplay
dungoens, ehm..yeah.
