Hey folks,
not long before release of BfA, in an Interview or some article, Blizzard (or better: Ion Hazzikostas) stated that they will not repeat something like Legendaries and Class Order Halls of Legion ever again. Because since most ppl (> 80%) only play a single main character and therefore just 1 of 12 classes, above stuff was a huge investment on Blizzards side, any player just see a 12th of. This means virtually 11 of 12 content parts Blizz creates, never reaches the player base aka they invest 12x the time for content every player experience. Which is extremely inefficient. Therefore Blizzard do not wanna repeat this.
I tried to quickly find that article in the archives, but was not successful. Maybe some of you has more luck. But i think most long term loyal players remembering that.
That said: Now, what i do not get from a Blizzard perspective, is the following:
Are not Covenants nearly the same and have the same problem ???
Lets look at it:
Lets say most ppl play 1 character, this means they see 1 of 4 Covenants. Aka 25% of Covenant content. Ofc this is better than 1/12th, like above. Lets further remember that there are 12 classes with 12 Covenants abilities of 4 Covenants. This means:
1 player see 1 Covenant ability out of 48 existing abilities, that need to be balanced, maintained, designed.
Is this, all in all, not the same fuking inefficiency, like Legion, that they said they want not repeat ???
PS: Plz do not discuss the fact here, that there are ppl playing alts. Ofc there are. But as Blizzard said (and they have data) it is a rather small minority. This thread is about the majority and about ppl playing 1 main character.
So, is this not hell of inefficient again, from a Blizzard perspective ?
(Sorry for the bad english, it is not my 1st language)
