Exalted, huh ? Can't say I'm all hyped up for that again.If it's not a rep grind I won't mind too much.If I'm not well into revered through questing and a full round of world quests I'll be more than a little annoyed about this requirement.We'll see...
Not thrilled with the reputation required, but i'd do it anyway, so.
Honestly, I don't like this rep grind to get new races. Leveling a character to max level, then grind a rep, to gain the right to level a new character of a slightly different color ? ...I liked the old days of "Oh, you bought BC? Cool, you can create a draenei or a blood elf now !".Don't know why they had to change it.
I'm assuming that we have to get revered with these factions for Pathfinder, so pushing to exalted really isn't going to be that bad unless you're one of those people who has no intention of flying.
If Legion has taught us anything its that it's almost unavoidable not to hit exalted with a reputation if you're pursuing end-game content within a week or so of launch. However the only critcism I have of this requirement is that we don't see anything of the Mag'har orcs outside of their recruitment scenario linking them to the Horde; is their any establishment of the new races NPC's integrating into the Honorbound on the beta? The storyline about the Tidesage is completely unrelated to the recruitment of the Orcs. I hope we don't have to wait for an entire patch for them to acknowledge a new race of the Horde has been recruited outside of their intro scenario. So the need for exalted with the Honourbound doesn't exactly correspond to the faction aswell as say the Nightborne's requirements corresponded to their race, but after a month of BfA I doubt anyone will be complaining about the requirements anyhow.
I don't mind at all. If you actually play the game like you are supposed to, this shouldn't matter. People cry because they have to work for something. Get over it. If you don't want to actually play the game, then leave.
Damn, I was hoping Dark Iron would require something we could work on now. It didn't make sense that it requires an expansion reputation when they have no presence on Kul'tiras at all. I was hoping it would be something from Classic or Cataclysm so I could work on it before the expansion comes out.
I'm honestly convinced the requirement could be "complete War Campaign" without the exalted and people would still be whining and @#$%^ing. God forbid you actually have to work towards something in a MMORPG.
Reputations have been easier to do thanks to the World Quest/Emissary system. Honorbound/7th Legion will be the Nightfallen for this first bit, so rep tokens will likely only be 250 and 750, but still get 1500 per Emissary turn in. Plus world quests for those factions will be on the enemy continent.
Across all posts complaining about reputation requirement , all of them reek of laziness.I will refrain myself from commenting at which expansion they probably started playing wow......So , by the looks of it.These 2 races are the equivallent of the Nightbourne chapters and after we deal with G'huun and , probably , settle our score with eachother , The Kultiras and the Zandalari will join us in 8.1. When the real threat starts to show its........tentacles , we deal with Gul'dan ....erm I mean Azshara and then we find out where N'zoth prison is exactly.From here on........it is not really clear who will be our KJ in BFA.We either deal with the Old Gods and Azeroth awakens to deal with the Voidlords or we find the shocking truth that Azeroth is not the type of titan we can call bad or evil.More like the time when Batman was an anti-hero. Anyway, I hope it wont be as predictable or if it is i hope it turns out to be really enjoyable.
people need to learn these are ALLIED races, not normal races like the original 6 on each faction were.If you want to play them, you have to earn the right. I'm not fussed doing a rep grind, gives me something to do to get those maghar orcs :)
(Just a rant if u want to read fine other wise scroll past my post)Its pure bull@#$% that you gotta wait to grind rep then you gotta level 20-120 then grind gear, professions, War supplies?, then you gotta spend time getting bis to even get invited to pugs with raid score or mythic io. If your on a dead server ( like US scarlet crusade horde side) RNG is lucky for you then if your fav spec is nerfed or abilities removed mid expansion (looking at you ret pally) gotta grind again. If they just came out and said it was to make more money off boosts and realm transfers i would not be mad but the excuse that its for the players is just bull@#$% plain and simple. Balance is at a all time low for pvp ( anyone played AV Horde side the past 5 years would know). Just be honest with us blizzard and say that you are doing it for money and stop feeding us bull$%^& on how it will help the players. The new leveling experience is not harder it takes longer, Mobs don't stun, sap, interrupt or use burst damage like they did in classic. Just getting tired of Blizzard bold face lying to us at this point.If we gotta be grinding at least do it like classic, BC or wotlk (rep tabards) where mobs killed give rep instead of capping rep per day through WQ. This isn't helping anyone but you to increase sub time or make people buy realm transfers i used to love this game but the disrespect that you are showing us getting out of hand. Stop telling people how to play the game and let us decide like in the old days maybe some people have weeks off at from work and can grind for days then won't be able to play for a month. There should not be hard capping of anything in this game let people consume content at their own pace. Free to play games use that tactic to get people to buy game time or in game currency to remove it. If this game was free to play what you are doing now would not bother me at all.Seems like blizzard only listens to feedback from "pros", streamers ,hard core raiders and fan sites; these days and the complaints of common player are aimed at deaf ears. I just don't see where blizzard listens to feedback from us unless it effects PVP ( Rated), Raiding or their newest feature for that expansion. AV is my example where both sides can just run backdoor (horde can use a huge mount to jump over a wall that should not be jumped over). I get it its a huge game and not everything can be fixed fast but at least give us a list of things you guys are working on fixing the next year or so. PVP is the least fun for me at any point in time of WoW history pve has gotten better i like mythic + dungeons.I don't know if the CFO of Blizzard or Activsion has taken over Blizzard fully but please show the heart you had when you made BC and WotLK and design the game for the player not for the shareholders of a billion dollar company where $ is more important then game play. Sorry for the long rant and i know people will disagree with me and that is fine but its how i feel right now i could be wrong or have rose colored glasses but this game is so close to being great but the grab for $ has hurt it in the long run.TLDR: Let people play the game at their own pace and stop trying to limit grinding and getting people to buy shop items.
