This is actually a super awesome change! It is little details like this that make the game special.
Pretty sure the Shrines were always there in Zandalar, just didnt do anything sides cool decorations prior to this patch.No Rezan.No Hire'eek.No Jani.No HAKKAR
This is so awesome. Being able to choose a racial that suits your class is amazing, and being able to swap it out for another every 5 days is having your cake and eating it to. Much better than the KT equivalent of 1% vers, heal 2% of damage taken over 4 sec, and 1% reduced frost/nature damage. That's gonna be great for the warr/monk/druid tanks but rather mediocre for everybody else. This is a much better way of doing racials and I hope we see more of it. Amazed to see people actually complaining.
This is just salt in the wound, Kul-tirans, and the Alliance need something as flavorful and impactful as the Loas. We get Jaina, and swimmin' thicc bois.
The "Embrace of Jani" challenge - when Zandalari come out, get from 20-120 without choosing an Embrace of the Loa buff.
It should have been Torcali instead of Krag'wa. Gosh, I despise that giant mindless frog.
It would be interesting if Embrace the Loa was added as a part of Dungeon Preparation, so it could at least be changed before arenas, battlegrounds, and some dungeons, though I feel the embrace should definitely be allowed to be changed for a period of time after joining M+ or raids, as it feels a bit unfair to essentially deny someone a racial for playing an off-spec.
I prefer about 2 or 3 days cooldown and this 5 days is way too long imo.Example on Druid: if you play Feral that want Kimbul, Pa’ku or Gonk for 5 days and then you can change spec to Guardian that want Krag’wa or Gonk for 5 days, spec to Resto that want Akunda or Gonk for 5 days, or spec to Balance that want Bwonsamdi, Pa’ku or Gonk for 5 days.So in 2 or 3 days, Guild ask you to be Tank or Healer then you’re stuck on main spec’s Loas and told them it’s on Cooldown. They will grab other and you’ll miss your chance for the run also loots.Well… after typing out, My mind did popped right in and so use Gonk or Pa’ku that are Main Loas for Leveling, World Quests and etc. before going to do Raids. So if you’re ready for raid then you can go change Loa for this at below and but you’re still stuck on that Loa for 2 or 3 days left before change back to Main Loas after done with Raids.Change Loas before going to Raids and DungeonsTank use Krag’wa or GonkHealer use AkundaMelee Dps use Kimbul or Pa’kuRange Dps use Bwonsamdi or Pa’kuChange Loas before going to PvPHealer use Akunda or GonkMelee Dps use Kimbul, Pa’ku or GonkRange Dps use Bwonsamdi, Pa’ku or Gonk
Sounds pretty OP.
I hope they remove the Cooldown or at least make 1 day5 days is unfun and unpleasant
Wtf, 5 days and can't change racial for heal / tank / melee / range whenever i want ?Damn, that was not enough for Azerite... Please, do at least one thing smart Blizzard, don't ruin Zandalari, it was in the best race ever road !
You don't need to run to a shrine every time the 5 days (or 1-2 days if changed) cooldown is up, only if you want to change it, so if you are fine with what you have, you cold never go again and there would be no problem
Zandalari trolls start off in Dazar'alor, not on Echo Isles.
