However, by the time 9.0.5 came around we knew what we were doing. I think that locking players to a single covenant reduced the number of things that had to be considered at a given time, which was good. Maybe unpopular opinion, but imo I was ok with the way it was at the start, but this change should have come in 9.0.5, not 9.1.5 (and we should have known that locked covenants was a temporary thing).įrom the jump shadowlands threw more expansion features/systems at us on day 1 than ever before, it was a lot to learn in a short amount of time. Most people aren't altaholics and aren't going to play through all three campaigns on diff chars. It's fuckin mind boggling that they designed all this content then only let players see 1/3rd of it per char. They just didn’t expect that dry spell to be after the first patch… - createcrap But were going to save it as content during a dry spell. I think it’s clear that they always planned to have covenants swappable eventually. However, it became a mess when tuning changes happened and you either lost power or, the other covs gained power you wanted. I feel like they thought that they wanted the cov choice to be super impactful and meaningful to you and you would stick with them and immerse yourself in their world, their story and resonate with it. It does feel great just walking up to the NPC and switching, did it a couple of times this morning just because I could haha. I didnt know you have to have renown lvl 80 to switch freely and now I’m renown lvl 1 kyrian ? - Electrical-War6462 Who would've thought that being able to switch between the Covenant abilities that are best for PvP, raids and dungeons is something that the players wanted? And Ion still thinks he did nothing wrong. Venthyr next! Going to go for all covenants at 80 renown. I am really enjoying this, it should have been like this from the start.Īlready renown 80 for Night Fae and Kyrian on my main, have Necrolord to 51 after today.
Also, make sure to remember that you need Renown 80 with 1 character to be able to get the free swap. They seem to be preeetty preeety™ positive, with the exception of "why wasn't this a thing sooner". Now that the system has been live for a while, let's take a look at some player reactions to it. However, with 9.1.5 that ripcord has been well and truly pulled, as players can now freely switch Covenants (with Renown 80 on one char) and not only choose their powerful abilities at will, but also work on upgrading and unlocking all Covenant content on one character! The locked Covenant choice has been a sore subject ever since the beta (alpha?), with Blizzard adamantly claiming it was an important role playing decision and sticking with it all through 9.1.
