There will ALWAYS be Have and Have Not. Catch up mechanics are solely for the Have Nots and only affects the Have Not side of the equation. You are arguing over the crumbs of the pie.
Amazing change. :)
Shortly after we got to Artifact Knowledge 40 blizzard decided to nerf Artifact Power gains substantially from world quests. Then they decided to half the gains from Nighthold. Not happy with screwing us over with that they they stopped people from gaining Artifact Power from normal/heroic/mythic raids (i.e. if you did every boss in Nighthold normal on same lockout you would not get any Artifact Power drops from those bosses in heroic and/or mythic)So essentially they gimped our farming which is retarded at best, since they know that there are so many who wanted to spend time and get rewarded with multiple levels of concordance for their time, but instead spending the same time farming from less sources one got exponentially less benefits from that which stopped most of those people bothering to farm anymore.... Which in itself is a contradiction of blizzard trying to keep people interested when all it did was disheartening those farming and stopped them from doing what blizzard was trying to keep them doing .... Essentially had the opposite affect intended by the devs and in their usual infinite wisdom screwed players .... Wish seems something they like doing to us!Do they really think about these changes and possible consequences or do they make it up as they go along?Confused .... I am!So we can expect more of the same shortly after reaching AK 50! 😇😇
Nice change, I just started again, since I was too bizzy in other stuff.But I noticed my AK %, was at powerful 500%~, well I remember the 5 days wait in the past, which wasn't the greatest & The alts was a whole other problem... Its a nice dynamic feature I think, with weekly upgrade, now the players can worry about gear & other stuff instead.Speaking of Gear.... Khadgar called me & needed help for Broken Shore, seemed easy enough.... other than after the assist... when the World Quest got active... as.... apparently the intro was auto ilvl or something.... since after.... I got 1shot pretty much, to a normal mob :vSo my gear isn't really up to speed for Broken Shore.Oh well... back to Suramar I guess~
I like the new incoming artifact change i wonder when the final 7.3 build will be im lookin forward to argus.
Their penchant or always introducing catchup mechanics of some sort (icc 5 mans, molten front, timeless isle, etc) is why i only work on 1 character for the first 6 months or so. Sure I could mindnumbingly grind on many alts, but its all a waste in the end lol.
So I have question than. im returning player and Im leveling my weapon. Right now im sitting on 15 knowledge. I have saved resources. Should I spend all my resources to get it to 40 if in 10 days (7,3) I will have 41? Thanks for reply
It's only 1 per week. Keep in mind come 7.3 if you're at 25 you'll only bump to 26 and not straight to 40 like previously stated.
Not sure what all the whining is about, most mailed AK 40 books to alts and only did the full research once and AP appears to be around 4 times as much per reward as it was prior to 7.3,, if there was no catch up for new or returning players, most would probably give up,,as some did to start with,, those who dont want to put in some work into progression wont last very long post 7.3 either so the free catch up will only help those willing to help themselves in the end.Most who have stuck it out and did the daily grinds have gotten several alts up through concordance, but this does help anyone who has a full stable of classes get more play time without being too far behind, especially those with some fresh 110s.
