So, I opened a Ticket yesterday and the Response I got (was asking for C&S Rank4, did the 2.4k this week):Hey there T.,The Rank 4 Essences are going away after Shadowlands launches and, since the release date has not been announced, you'll have a bit of time to get this done. More info: the https://www.wowhead.com/news=317052/official-blizzard-post-on-things-to-do-before-shadowlands
I really hope that the conflict and strife r4 drops from the chest. I managed to get 2.4k yesterday, and it is the last essence I need for azeroth's champion. I have written to a gm previously to ask if they knew if it would be loot from the chest, but they didn't know. Will be pretty bummed out if it doesn't drop, since I have put so much effort into actually stepping into the arena and climbing, and even getting all the other essences.
Do we have any news ?:(
Blizzard: "All Rank 4 Essences can no longer be earned once Shadowlands strikes."Also Blizzard: We're delaying the Shadowlands release, so earning Rank 4 Essences will be gone with the Pre Patch now.Btw, to get 2.4k rating in the worst PvP in the history of WoW for this achievement is utterly sh*t imho. Same for RNG drops.
I just looted my Conflict & Strife Rank 4 Essence out of the Weekly Box.
I don't understand how they are so stupid to remove all the rank 4 essences in pre patch. It clearly says that certain rank 4 essences wont be able to collect in pre patch. And that's fine, as m+ and Hertz locker is removed from game. However, why the hell are they removing the ones from paragons and the others, while the content is still active, while we still have our neck, while essences is still active in game?`! How are they thinking?I need 2 more, from the paragon chests, to get this title, and now they remove it in pre patch. A RNG based thing. Even tho it is current content and we still have essences active.Coming with "well, because you can't collect some of them, we're removing them all" statement. As you, for example, still can get Arena Master IF you've completed the 5v achievement. Why is it any different with this achievement? And here we're talking about just a month or two at its most... Shame on you BLIZZARD! Start make good decisions for ONCE!
Not sure if it applies to other essences, but I was able to purchase my rank 4 Memory of Lucid Dreams off the Nazjatar Quartermaster today. I unlocked it on my main during 8.3 and was able to purchase it on my alts during pre-patch.
