Great news. After 17years they still need one year to fix what they should in beta. And for the naysayers... that still can't find happines. Get a life.
Regarding covenants I will add only this. Keep cosmetics and mounts separated. At least until end of expansion. Its still cool to know that someone is in a certain covenant... It should be this from the beginning. Cosmetics should separate covenants, races... not abilities.
You mean something that should have been implemented on day fucking one? It’s the same concept as when you had to wait to change Azerite Power, and people railed on them for it, so they put a cost to switch in instead. Some how they forgot all about that. Geniuses.“Conduit Energy Removed”
I was thinking "This doesn't have the usual Ion doublespeak" when reading the blue posts, until I got to this. Yeah, he's still there, lol.
I have a feeling a certain game director and some of his stubborn devs in their dojo were sat down and read the riot act recently. Which is good for people still playing, I guess. This patch is a complete repudiation and reversal of points the devs have specifically dug their heels in on.
Or, perhaps Mike and Jen told Bobby that they need to release the devs from the MAU treadmill in the design process. I'm not as confident here.
Not shocked this patch is "Please come back, here's a pony" from the devs, though.
Fair enough. I think at the least it's a good sign considering how much of a shuffle they just had. Time will tell in the future if this is actually what we can expect to see going forward, because they've been pretty on top of communication suddenly again at least.
You'll still have to do both campaigns in their entirety though. Point is that it's not as faceroll as getting to renown 40 is, which you can do without doing much of the campaigns due to the rank renown is at currently.

Hard to appreciate these changes when 90% of them could have been in at launch but they likely purposely withheld just so that they could change it later and call it a patch.
Until pay2win is dead I'm basically done.
you can ALREADY, as of now skip the 9.0 campaign, although you will miss some rewards which you definitely want (soulbinds ) and if i read correctly you will actualy get soulbinds if you skip in 9.1.5 so...
and you can skip part of 9.1 campaign already too, not sure if they mentioned skip for that in patch although i doubt that, but its quite short anyway...
so at worst you will have to do PART of 9.1 campaign (which gives you renown anyway so its not realy loss of time)
