Anyone else a little disappointed with blood Artifact?

[Fenris65535]

I mean, there's no story to it, all the customization options look the same and the whole Gorefiend-esque devouring theme is kinda....meh. Overall love the announcement and really looking forward to it, just hoping something changes with the Maw. Any word on the abilities for it at least?

[Dumdidum]

well I guess its kinda hard finding 36 different rly cool known legendary weapons, so they have to make up a few, which is ofc kinda lame standing there with your "no name" weapon besides a paladin with Ashbringer for example

Blizzard are pretty good at adding lore to the game quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if Gorelix turns up in the pre-expansion event, beats the shit out of a few people, slays a couple of named characters and wipes the floor with players, then we go after him and kill him alone.

The plot story to that axe sounds good, but it hinges on the badass nature of the current wielder.

I'm mostly disappointed that its a MACE, instead of a sword. I don't want to wield an oversized maraca, I want a fucking RUNEBLADE. At least the choices for Frost and Unholy are a lot more cooler and appealing.

[Northern Goblin]

I am pretty sure that thing is an axe.

Yes, a ugly one.

Each to their own, that 2nd customisation looks sweet to me.


Edit



Yup, looks awesome.

It's an axe... and you can see the rune etchings on it.


That said, I think we're a bit early for the complaining/disappointment at the moment, aren't we?

I do believe (hope) we will be taken trough a long quest line to achieve our artifacts, which in turn will teach us a lot about the different artifacts we're collecting.

If it is a "collect 33 tomes from these bosses, then 900 from those", I will be so sad..

GIVE ME LORE, give me a long tedious quest line to achieve my artifact weapon, and give me epic quests to upgrade it later and I am so pleased.

^this, involve dungeons & what not.

I kind of like the one that looks like a scythe but the blade needs to be longer. Frost gets to develop two fragments of Frostmourne and we get a random dumb axe.

Ye, they did say they wanted dungeons to have a much bigger role trough the whole expansion. So hopefully the artifacts will bring us in there for quests to upgrade it.
I also really hope for class, well specialization specific quests lines. Like the ones rogues got in DS (had to sneak into Ravenholdt etc, was pretty good) and also in the ring quest when we followed Garona.
They got a lot of potential with this, lets hope they dont fuck it up.

And I also hope the way we upgrade the artifact gets really challenging the further we get into it. So a casual will have it like 50% upgraded, then start running into problems because it gets really hard skill wise, while a hardcore min/maxed DK main will challenge him self and get it to 100%.
And not that it is just "farm X of this then Y of this"....

I believe obtaining your weapon at base level is one of the first things you do, then you organise your garrison 2.0

They listed a ton of different ways to unlock and upgrade it, through levelling, questing, dungeons, battlegrounds etc. I believe it is very much a "play all aspects of the game."

In before pet battles are needed to get a bigger scythe head.

i like it, seems fitting for a blood DK

I think one of them's PVP prestige related or something, that may be the fel /sha looking variation though

Very unhappy.... Honestly it is the problem with the Artifact system. Having one weapon type model (axe, sword, hammer) locked to a spec is asking for problems. All artifacts should be locked to class only, not by spec. I for one would enjoy the look of the the right most Frost sword as a 2hd model for Blood Tanking.

Also as a few pointed out, what about 2HD frost? since the artifact is a pair of 1hd swords.....

Meh... simple point... There are people like me that a weapon type is a weapon type, no matter what you can customize about it an Axe is an Axe. T_T

Btw.... the Rune Weapons from the Death Knight starting area... which weapon model is picked the most... Great Sword or Great Axe :P

[ZeeroDK]

So am I right to hear there is no possible way of having multiple specs and weapons??? Rip dual spec?

[Xeoshades]

So do you think you could transmog the look of another artifact?

[Xeoshades]

Meh, looks like I will be running around with Armageddon again for this xpack aswell.
