Prepare for Lift Off: Get Ready for Flying in Chains of Domination

Two weeks into the first big content patch is early for flying. For those of you that "quit" in this thread, do everyone including yourself a favor and stay away from MMO, fully quit the game and don't come to the fansite about it.

Does seem with them making posts like this that 9.1 is close.



If these people cant be bothered to do simple story lines and current content (which give you renown) don't think they will enjoy grinding away from rep to do heroic dungeons in an out dated game. Also lol at BC being better than shadowlands, its better than vanilla sure but there is a reason SO MANY changes were made to the game.

And I assume it was to cater to and give handouts to players like you so you feel special at all levels of content right? Have you ever heard of less is more?

Oh i didn't know you had everyone's daily lives, schedules, emergencies, etc. Care to tell me how far I SHOULD BE progressed by your own imaginary made up standard?

I don't understand the catch up mechanic. I haven't played in a while and I changed covenants. So my stuff is probably sub 10. Does that mean I can only do, say, dungeons until a certain point and then only the 2 a week from there?

There’s lots of catch up mechanics. It’s easy to get to max renown - just play the game

Can't wait to fly. Would love to get a 9.1 release date in a blue instead of stuff I already know though

There is absolutely no grind to renown and if you aren't caught up you are getting it all the time from random sources. At least get a little bit informed before you start shitposting.

It is crazy how some people honestly believed patch 9.1 wouldn't come out until late Q3 or early Q4 just because of classic and share holders.

You get 3 a week if you do the covenant campaign + souls + 1000 anima. Then if you’re less than 40 (or 38 if you have finished the campaign and have souls/anima quests) then you can get renown from raid bosses, world bosses, dungeons, callings and pvp (maybe)

Is this sarcasm? 40 has been obtainable for months which means everyone but the most recent adopters of the expansion would be at most 11 behind. Because 2 for current week and the what 9 from the campaign. It isn't a grind in the slightest. There are also catch up mechanics specific to the patch.

Huh? Every character of mine, even the freshest, went to 40 easily. You get renown for everything. One of them is only played 30 minutes each week for weeklies (worldboss, 1000 anima, souls) and some emissaries whenever I have time/want to do them - he is at 38 after 3 weeks. You probably have no clue about it and just want to cry around, again.

Doesn’t cost anything all you have to do is the campaign quests

Funny thing is how many people on this forum complain about SL 24/7 and now we can see that they or never played SL or have no clue about it...

You do know that even if you "yes-life" this, you can easily get to 40, right? World bosses currently grant Renown. Callings also can give Renown. Dungeon bosses can give Renown, too.

Seriously, the only way you're not at or near 40 at this point in time is if you're not playing at all. And that means you not being at Renown cap would be your fault, not of the game's.

Hey retard, the complaint is that Blizzard is artificially gating content. In BC you can just buy flight at max level with no hoops to jump through. With how long SL has been out without a content update it’s not surprising they’re giving us flight now rather than 9.2

I cleared BC when it was current, I feel no desire to go back, while difficult at the time it is far from difficult now. The community I was a part of back then have all moved on, and the content isn't fresh or new anymore so nothing on that front either. Literally has nothing to do with catering, or handouts. While I no longer mythic raid due to the time investment, I still managed to get KSM, something harder than anything BC has to offer, so you can take that snarky point away to.

If anything BC as a whole is a handout to people so lacking in skill they need content that is over a dozen years old and of significantly less difficulty to overcome. Enjoy your "feel special at all levels of content" tru, I know its the best you can do.

Hey Mr so scared you had to make a new account to insult me, flight paths are better than they were in BC, and flying is not required like it was in BC (literally, several places were unreachable without flying, because the game required it). Plus it is easier to get flying/renown than it was to get epic flying (at least in the original BC, I have negative desire to play BC classic).

It isn't artificially gating anything as you can still access everything you dolt, it is at worst artificially slowing things down, something BC did quite well on its own.

TBC was over a decade ago. They have always stated that flight was coming in patch 9.1. We have known this since the beginning of information about Shadowlands. It will only take two weeks and a day to unlock flying if I remember correctly. That isn't that bad and having flying wouldn't suddenly keep people playing who otherwise quit.

Been that way since WoD, it’s not a huge deal with no flying - means ground mounts get some use! Also it’s always been their plan to give us flying in 9.1

Blizzard is slowly releasing details about patch 9.1 trying to keep players appeased over the fact that Castle Nathria will have been a 7-8 month tier when it is all said and done.

Where is planet you came for? Where did you land? Where are remains of space ship?

On my ultra uber casual alts I get to 40 Renown is 3 weeks, but it's doable in week for people focusing on this. All I did were emissary quests (~30 minutes a day, but I did 3 at once and often they stack), one LFR raid clear, covenant campaign and 5 minutes long Maw quest 3 times. That's literally it.

I am soooooooooo damn glad FFXIV doesn't have all this time gating shit. Glad I left wow.

LOL. Wut?

Obviously you couldn't fly in Vanilla, since Vanilla didn't have flying. But you could absolutely fly on day 1 on every other expansion until they removed flying. Granted you had to level to max (other than Cata, which you could fly through the leveling process), but that's it. And if you did that the first day you were flying.

So no idea what you're talking about.
