the whine for rep req is amusing if VE,HMT,LD,NB were req locked you had to expect others to be to also it is good , ppl who want to play certain race will do the grind and then enjoy the race they like. keep the rep req blizz good choice
Rep Grind? No problems. I've been through worse. WAY worse.We will likely get to Revered just getting to 120. We did with every faction in Legion (cept the Nightfallen). The point when factions seem like "chores" is when it is at level cap, when it is more Daily/WQ oriented, instead of organic questing. I've been around since the beginning... I've done the Hydraxian Waterlords, aided my guild (back in the day, playing for team blue) with the Brood of Nozdormu to open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. I've played "Simon" for weeks on end with the Ogri'la and gathered eggs for the Netherwing. I jousted to prestige among the Horde at the Argent Tournament. I did the insane grind during Mists of Pandaria, doing EVERY SINGLE DAILY, EVERY DAY, to get every faction to Exalted ASAP. I've collected the heads and other notable body parts of beasts for the Steamweedle Preservation Society, and collected thousands of teeth in Fan'grila.This? This will be nothing.
But that doesn't make any sense, lorewise we're supposed to be going after the Mag'har at the START of the war because Eitrigg is afraid we don't have enough forces, not midway into the expansion. Oh well, Blizzard taking a dump on the story again.
Yeah, this seems to be a tad backwards. I know DI Dwarves show up on Zuldazar and while I don't know of Mag'har in the campaign, you'd almost think simply finishing the intro scenarios and maybe hitting like 112 would be enough. I don't mind the exalted portion or the requirements as a whole but it's the progression that doesn't make much sense.
None of my characters had to be friends with the worgen, goblins, draenei or blood elves for me to be one of them. Just saying.
People saying there's nothing wrong with locking races behind rep grinds are absolutely insane. This is an expansion FEATURE. WHY IS IT OK FOR IT TO BE LOCKED BEHIND A REP GATE? Can you imagine the absolute $%^& storm if they locked DKs, DHs, Worgen/Goblin/Draenei/Blood Elves/Pandaren behind pointless rep gates? "Oh hey I bought the new expansion! Can't wait to play a Mag'har-""Lol sorry thanks for buying it but now you need to spend at least a month grinding rep with some stupid faction to actually play the race you bought the expansion for. Not false advertising or anything btw haha!"Just another bad decision by modern Blizzard Entertainment. Can't wait until they start locking zones behind rep gates and people will still defend it.
Oh yay...more time gating stuff that should be in at launch, or even pre-patch. Makes less than zero sense. They will be rep gated, you know for damn sure the KT and Zandos will also need exalted with their respective factions. God I'm getting sick of BIG things(like these races) being rep gated. Rep gates are for gear, toys, and mounts. Not major additions to an expansion.
Do we know if these requirements work cross faction, like the current Allied Races do?As in, if I complete the Horde war campaign and get exalted with the Honorbound, can I then hop on an Alliance character (even if it has to be level 120, which means playing it for some period of time), do the scenario, then create a Dark Iron Dwarf?
I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the complaints here. It's not like we're asking for all the content to just be handed to us without putting any effort into it, we're just baffled by certain races being off limits. That has never happened before. Unlocking access to gear, awards and instances makes sense, because that's like "You're not powerful enough to handle this yet, you have to show your worth", and you keep working on it for that character. This is about levelling a character for the sole purpose of eventually being allowed to start a new one the way you actually want to. And then you're faced with the choice; are you going to start all over again with that new character you wanted from the start, or are you going to begrudgingly keep playing the original character so that the tens/hundreds of hours you put into it doesn't feel like a complete waste?
Didn't they say that mag'har and dark iron will be obtainable at the 8.0 patch?edit: nevermind, i found the info that i missed about that
More idiotic rep grinds, thank God I don't want either of these races
Exalted with the 7th Legion being the requirement? Bull*!@#!It should be Ironforge, Wildhammer Dwarves, and the Thorium Brotherhood! After all, why would Moira trust somebody who hasn't served the Dwarves enough with such a delicate task?
Zandalari more work then you thought? Gotta throw another ^&*!ty re-color at us cause you can't deliver? Also, it's not upright if they're only upright during idle/walk animations, that's called a cop out.
