Thank you Hazel for keeping us on the journey ! player since 2008

[@WadeAllen001]

The early access is definitely a boost/headstart to player power. An early access player will have their character already at level 80 the minute that a non-early access player enters the war within. So they'll have a headstart on mythic dungeons and all that. Plus, and this is the part that I actually care about, they'll have a headstart on professions, and that's massive because the start of the expansion is always the most lucrative time. And it's a shame too because I want to just enjoy the story of the new expansion rather than no-lifing it to get the earliest possible start on alchemy, so I'll fall behind the no-lifers even if I do start at the same time as them.

[@christabelle__]

The no-lifers would be ahead of you even if you started at the same time, unfortunately - they either bot, or spend egregious amounts of time grinding herbs/ore/etc in ways that no sane person would. Even TRYING at the start of DF, I couldn't keep up with the no-lifers. The other stuff is more valid, bc yeah...max levels can hop right into dungeons as soon as the game officially starts.

[@willythemailboy2]

You have a point about professions, but Mythic dungeons will not be available until the season starts so you'll have two weeks to get ready for them.

[@curiousabout1]

I've read that they are initiating catch-up mechanics for professions from the first week. If that's true, yes you will miss those four days but you won't get behind on weekly caps or anything.

[@willythemailboy2]

@@curiousabout1 They're apparently doing profession skill points the way they do conquest or crests now. Each week will add a certain amount to the seasonal cap, so if you're behind your weekly cap will be higher until you reach the season (expansion) cap. People being ahead in professions will come more in terms of farming mats, learning recipes, and having all their first craft bonus points available before the plebs even get to start the expansion. IIRC only daily crafting CDs will be disabled before "official" launch.

[@suminshizzles6951]

@@willythemailboy2 Your point is what? Somebody who starts 4 days later and can only play an hour every two days wont be left behind? People with EA have an advantage. Just admit it. The devd even stated that they will have an advantage.

[@petermerison4002]

Early access divides the community, 2 launch dates is a horrendous thing to do as its kinda forcing people to pay out or fall behind. Wrong Blizz

[@alihorda]

Can get that ahead tho? I don't really care about it tbh. The added benefit is that it splits playerbase a bit so not everyone logs on day 1 so less laggs and crashes

[@petermerison4002]

@@alihorda So instead there will be 2 days of lag and DC's Its more about the money , it holds people to ransom.

[@ontalio2496]

You actually can get ahead. Nobody ever talks about gold and how valuable everything is in the first few days of the expansion. Four days is an insane head start on professions and gold making which is why I got the epic edition.

[@suminshizzles6951]

Dont tell that to the loons on the EU forums. They are all on copium prayngn that nobody revokes their massive advantage. The AH prices for the entire expansion will be set by people in the EA. It is that simple. Those who do not pay to play at the "regular" lauch, which is the EA, will be behind. When the "offial" launch commences 4 days later those people with multiple max level characters will be able to start dungeons right away while the others who did not pay start their journeys. This is a massive slap in the face to the consumer and i wont fall for it. I will not be buying or playing TWW. They can suck my lollipop. I am votign with my wallet.

[@ontalio2496]

@@suminshizzles6951 I think the War Within will be a great expansion long term. This isn’t Blizzard’s fault.

yeah, that affix sounds horrible - especially for fortified weeks. (I play healer and can imagine in the end it will be my job to handle that additional damage... because cc and interrupts are something most groups cant handle NOW - why should it be better in TWW -.-

[@willythemailboy2]

I haven't played any of the beta, but my impression is that more than affecting who gets taken for runs this might affect routing inside M+ so groups path through some trash pulls rather than others. I guess it depends on how avoidable some pulls are and how many alternate routes are possible.

[@koalaninja2981]

I still think Draenor had the best pvp gear system

[@k01dsv]

Thank you for the WA. I'm done with everything, but it's kinda hard to verify in-game because most things at the vendor don't indicate that you've bought it before. So the only way to verify would be to go go through and buy all the items and try to learn them to check if you can or not. This WA is way easier :D

[@w0llib]

Lets just wait and see, if the numbers of the sales of the epic edition go up by a lot compared to the older expansions, that means the 3 days could be a factor of it, but if its in a margin of the old ones, then it will probably wont be there anymore in midnight.

[@johnl9763]

I've been 476 in remix for weeks, because I'm disabled and had a lot of time to play. The side effect was that it discouraged a lot of people in my guild from playing because they felt "behind," especially with the frogger fiasco. I hope this gets them more interested in playing again. :(

[@theR1ch]

I'm not mad, I'm thankful that going forward, I'll be able to mop up the rest of the vendors easier. We knew the state of the rewards would be in flux with it being up in the air how popular this experiment would end up being.

[@CurieBohr]

Your video helped me level up a new 70 every day. I’ve been having a blast.

[@eboethrasher]

I always buy the epic edition because the month sub makes the extra $20 worth it anyway, when you factor in the rest of the bonus items. So the early access is just an extra thing that won't matter cause i suck at leveling.

[@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming]

7:40 that's like.. the hardest question to answer ever, one I fight with throughout the entirety of an expansion season to season. Especially since i always have every class, now i have 2 of every class with the remix leveling lolol.

[@catrinastars]

No you do have a leg to stand on because they put the pet in the epic edition as well. And the only reason I got that one was because I wanted the pet, I care not for beta or early four days. (my rule is that I wait one week to start playing a new expansion anyway, because ever since BC that one week has always been full of bug fixes).

[@m.p.8293]

Yeah, those affixes, as a Warrior main, the bleed is probably the only thing I would have any advantage on, which seems negligible. It's possible that's the point is the affixes are just an inconvenience so the average player doesn't feel discouraged.

Question Has there been any news regarding changes to past expansions personal loot situation in the open world specifically? With the upcoming "Collect all the mogs on any character (or at least warband bound tokens, etc)" changes do we still have to have an army of alts to farm specific mogs, such as stuff dropping from Zereth Mortis rares etc?

[@christabelle__]

I have one of every class, and two (or more) of others...like hunters...so it's always REALLY hard to know what to level first.

[@robertsmith4830]

Despite buying every physical collectors edition since Wrath, I've only ever tried to play on day one of an expansion twice - Wrath and Cataclysm. Both times the experience was so painful that I now avoid the game on launch day because I just expect the servers to crash or refuse me entry (although I understand that might not have happened with Dragonflight?). Having a load of players start 4 days early might actually make my experience on "regular" launch day much better - if that is the case I would expect this model to be replicated in future expansions.

[@dancinglight8411]

I always found the initial rush incredibly charming. Even though I would only log on for a bit to witness it. This new system is identical except it’s a money grab. No change. No improvement or differences for you. You still log on several days after launch.

[@bluepototo7671]

DF was the usual shitshow, specially on high pop servers. For me it crashed and kicked me out several times

[@CrusaderGir]

I like the 3 days early because it gives me a breathing time to do the story stuff without feeling like I'm being forced to rush them to keep up progress wise. But that is a very niche and specific thing.

[@CurieBohr]

4 days early. And I’m sure most of it will be in queue, server crashes, server restarts, etc

[@CrusaderGir]

Oh probably, but in theory...

[@ubrals]

Early Access to game is mostly related to what you suspect: undiscovered issues. On top of that, if they spread over time the amount of players doing the same stuff, then they avoid having to allocate enormous computational resources at once. IT resources management and troubleshooting on-the-fly. Money comes with that, naturally

I know that you will get loot from bosses in your mailbox but what about trash? It seems like trash loot doesn't go into your mailbox. If it did I'd have mail after every raid, which I don't. Inquiring minds want to know!

[@MarcusTheDorkus]

Hazel's theory about the extra day is almost an extension of my theory about why they did the early access. They know they always have all sorts of issues on launch day. Some are bugs, some are just way too many players being on at once (like how people got stuck in instances on day 1 of Dragonflight because they couldn't load into the main zones). Early access gives them time to put out quick fixes to bugs and helps split the load of players. Obviously there is still a money aspect even in my theory. They could put money towards scaling up the servers for the first few days and then scale them back after that. Given that they can layer servers, it seems that this sort of scaling should be possible. But with the early access method they make more money by spending nothing extra, rather than charging nothing extra and spending more money. Doesn't really bother me though. I would complain about spoilers from people who see the content first but the betas and datamining ensure that spoilers are already out there.

[@megacodeheals722]

Glad to see gold is part of warbands. About time

[@techinrl9869]

I’m unsure how I feel about the affixes. Blizz’s intent is to reduce the amount of extra stuff that can be done by only some classes and make the dungeons feel more uniform, but until we do them, I don’t know whether I’ll like them or not. Even though I bought Epic edition, I’m not a fan of early access.

[@Zemilia22]

The conquest changes are extremely extremely stupid, In exchange for losing a piece of conquest gear each week we get a single main slot item worth of conquest after 10 weeks.... so we are trading 10 rng pieces for a singular piece 10 weeks in. One of the best things about dragonflight was that gearing was super fast even if you go unlucky worst case scenario you got sockets. Now we are getting less gear, we still have no idea how to get sockets. Pve gear will be pretty important early season with said gear being slowed down, we still don't have a way to get tier other then the catalyst so at minimum you need three charges assuming you use the token you get for hitting 1600 (which still feels awful that I have to choose between pve and pvp along with crafted pieces still being shared)

[@LoveLearnShareGrow]

Also 4 days for wiggle room because of crazy time-zone differences?

[@thezerb]

Actually, 2h leveling alts for Bronze is still very strong, because every one of the raid bosses you kill for teh XP tokens also drops a bronze cache, and there are also teh 2 dailies you take along teh way, that adds up to roughly another 15k bronze, so now you´re getting ~90-100 k in teh same 2h you needed before for 75-80 🍻

My Warrior is going to feel SO SLOW once Remix is over. It's gonna be one hell of a shock.

[@wowgrl6397]

[@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming]

The thing about early access is.. 4 days is plenty to hit 80 and then some. So we'll all be 80doing end game on one character, while everybody else is just starting to level. Kind of an advantage, but then again not, cause you won't have the end game gear ahead of anyone, because access to that starts all together for everyone. But still, a head start on materials needed for this and that.

[@alz4437]

Let’s be real, launch day is the 22nd. But we’re only allowed to experience it if we paid twice as much money. If not, then we have to wait 4 days after launch day to play the game. Since I’m already missing out on launch day I’ll just wait for the real reviews to come in before I buy this xpac

[@Sheriff_K]

It’s weird how they got rid of 1 free PvP item a week, yet barely gave 10% extra Conquest to compensate.. that’s NOWHERE near enough! 🤨

[@WadeAllen001]

It's a 19% higher cap in the first week, slowly reducing to an 11% higher cap in the last week before the cap is removed. On the one hand I also dislike them getting rid of the 1 free piece of PvP gear a week, but on the other hand now I no longer will feel like I have to do a certain amount of PvP every single week to not miss my gear chances. I wish they would just get rid of the great vault and make PvE gearing also on a currency system like valor, then I wouldn't feel like I have to get done any amount of content every single week.

[@jeffreywayne3650]

I agree with you on the early access. It's all about money, the whole game is anymore, not about making a fun game for folks who have played forever and for new folks but greed. It also lets those who do it suss out the best glitches and cheats they can do to get ahead quickly as usual.

[@Avalentica]

Leveling the alts did get slightly better. If you pick up the quests and hand them in when you reach 69 or 70, and all the achievements and "one time a day" rewards from doing dungeons now double. Sure it's not completely doubled, but you might get 5-10k bronze now than what you did before the change. Not huge, but not small either.

I agree about the early access for people who $$$ being kinda dumb. BUT... there's something way cooler about the fact that you ground out the tokens to do it. THAT makes it respectable, you earned it rather than just pissed away some money to be granted awesomeness. I like it..! And money saved for something else!

[@TanakaMatsumoto]

Expansion release dates mattered when the community was helpful and communicative, it's basically a solo rpg in an mmo world now. Take the early access away or not and it doesn't really change anything game wise... if anything it will help beta test the expansions start for others and split the load up so the expansion launch won't have mega downtime or crowds of people trying to all grab the same mobs creating some frenzy. Will there be sweaties that will be 80 before the other people start the expansion??? Probably but those same sweaties would have darted ahead anyways and still beat everyone to 80 so it doesn't really change much.

[@Scuuurbs]

What I hate about the bronze change - I *knew* they'd do something like that. I knew I could farm bronze later, instead of getting to 476 week ago. But I was not 100% confident the community would be here if they made these changes 70 days in. Could I still do mythic SoO in entirely abandoned mode? Would anyone even do hc raids with people who weren't maxed then? Probably some, but didn't want to take that risk. Shame that it's always the same, knowing Blizz might fix something, or maybe not. Just the same with Karokta mount farm in first week of 10.1. Go thru it with gazillion of alts per day, or risk them not buffing droprate? Either I get it in few months, or I never will when groups stop popping. You never know if they do the necessary nerf in 2 days or 10 years.

The issue with the new affixes is that they'll be a weekly focus on certain classes, and it'll be them classes that will be the flavour of the week while alienating the rest, creating a significant imbalance. It's just going to increase the already rife elitism and toxicity. Blizzard clearly knows this, but doing this anyway, purposely creating a needless problem for themselves. It's already received considerable pushback from many, which has gone ignored by blizzard which comes as no surprise. As someone who likes to have fun pushing higher keys, this is going to be a headache, and if it's releasing like this, it is going to prevent me from getting TWW, like many have already voiced their concerns about.

Between play WoW: War Within and play GW2: Janthir Wilds. I think will be the first time I gonna play GW2.

I bought the epic edition for the month and cosmetics. Totally against the head start. I’d rather they just apologize and give another cosmetic to epic edition or refund to heroic and let everyone play. I agree 100% hazel.

If they were going to do EA at all they shouldve just given it to anyone who pre-orders.
