What about heirlooms ?

[sarahtasher]

I understand and even approve of the changes to leveling, but what will happen to heirlooms ?

[Traveler Voltin]

probably removed and players not compensated knowing blizzard

[kail]

Huh. Didn't consider that.

[mekatron]

What about them? Did they say things will change in that matter???

Why wouldn't they just scale?

[PixelFox]

Here's a sneak peek at the new heirlooming features:

[Melchior]

Honestly, it wouldn't make sense for them to continue to have four tiers, or however many they have.

I'm guessing they will stay and be limited to one tier.

Well, they level to 120

[Noxina]

Well, they level to 120

Well, so they scale them down with the levels as we are scaled down? Doesn't exactly take rocket science to understand that.

anyone else just upgraded his heirlooms recently?
i feel like i made a bad move, like seeling apple stocks before they reveal a new iphone

[Destinas]

They'll probably be nerfed a bit more, and scale from 1-50.

I badly want heirlooms to be compressed down to 0 or 1 slots or removed completely. They almost completely kill the joy of gear upgrades during leveling. This should never happen again.

if you dont like them then dont use them

[Boricha]

They'll either scale or be removed, but it kind of sounds like 1-50 leveling is going to be really fast anyway.

Yeah I like the XP boost but very strongly dislike that 9 out of 10 gear drops/rewards are useless because I obviously won't unequip the xp boost. What is not quite clear here? How would anyone suffer any negative effect if heirlooms would not actually take up any gear slot?

so dont use them, how hard is that? why ruin for everyone else when you're the one having problems with it?

When you've leveled more than a few times, you don't feel any "joy" in getting a gear upgrade. I couldn't care less of my blue axe of +5 damage is replaced with blue sword of +6 damage as long as it gets me from point A to point B faster.

this also. I like the exp boost to an otherwise dull and boring process, but i wish it'd just be on one piece and i could find use in gear upgrades.

Please read my reply above to the other one who also seems to lack basic logic like you.

well maybe the base 1/4 heirloom will only work til level 30 or something, and each upgrade after that increases its level by 5. All the way til 50. So if you have 120 heirlooms, then that means they'll drop to level 50 when the patch drops. If you never upgraded your heirloom and it's level 60, it'll drop to level 30. It makes sense to me. Either that or hardset all heirlooms to 50 and reimburse everyone with gold based on how scaled their heirlooms are.
