Legendary Upgrades Locked Behind Illidan Questline?

Recommended Posts

kA9lS1S.jpg

You should get to gathering Lingering Soul fragments for the Illidan questline asap, as it may be mandatory if you want to upgrade your existing legendaries to 940.

 

There's been a lot of buzz recently about the legendary item upgrades that you'll be able to collect from Nighthold, which bump your "old" aka current legendaries to the new 940 item level (which will be the same item level that new legendaries will drop at).  Apparently, to get Touch of a Titan (Essence of Aman'ThulEssence of Aman'Thul drops from Nighhold bosses), which rewards you with Distilled Titan EssenceDistilled Titan Essence, you'll need to have finished Illidan's current questline, which may not sound that bad until you remember the 80 Lingering Soul Fragments you need to get, as well as the 10 fragments per week limit.

It seems likely Blizzard will change the requirement when 7.1.5 goes live, but there are several ways for them to do so: remove the 10 Soul Fragments per week cap (or at least remove it once your main has finished that part, so you don't have to wait for weeks on alts), remove that part of the Illidan quest from the requirement or, simplest and best of all, remove the quest's connection to Distilled Titan EssenceDistilled Titan Essence completely.

But, as Blizzard works in mysterious ways, if you really want to get started on that Essence of Aman'ThulEssence of Aman'Thul farming as soon as Nighthold opens, you might want to get Soul Prism of the Illidari (and the followup that has you killing Helya) done before the 17th of January.

Now, even if this Illidan quest issue is fixed and you can immediately proceed to Touch of a Titan, this upgrade system will still add a lot of problems to the already not-so-great legendary system, as it will take a while to gather up all those essences to get the upgrade, each Titan Essence only upgrades one legendary, and a lot of people still don't have their BiS legendary. The whole system hasn't been explained well, or at all (we don't really know the exact drop rates of the essences, this new quest requirement was a bit of a surprise as well) and it's causing a lot of distress to the community, so let's hope Blizzard come out and clarify all the details about it soon.

As you can imagine, a lot of top guilds are currently tweeting Blizzard about this issue, as they have a lot of alts they need to get ready for Nighthold, and this could put a severe wrench into their plans.

I don't like that they're ruining Legion's reputation by rewarding people for mindless grinding and severely punishing people for not playing one class, one spec and one character. Legendaries, Artifact Power, Artifact Knowledge, Artifact questline and now the Illidan questline. They've done major overhauls to most if not all classes, and they've made the impact of class greater than ever before, yet they punish people severely for changing class, or playing multiple class, or even just specs.

I think we can all agree the Legendary system should've been scrapped a long time ago, but AP, AK and the Illidan questline (plus more) should've been account-wide from the beginning. There's a lot of content to do without having to repeat the same mindless grinding over and over again and falling behind everyone else to a point where you can't compete.

The Legendary system has flaws and Blizzard learned from it. They are trying to fix this issue in 7.1.5 to even them out and focus more on utility. AP & AK is being dealt with appropriately - we've got catch-up options available in 7.1.5 and I think this will be addressed throughout the course of the expansion in a similar fashion. As Starym noted in the article, I am curious how they will deal with upgrades, I mean you grind a lot to upgrade the Legendary you want, but then it gets nerfed and you need another upgrade so that's even more grinding. I agree that the quest line should be account-wide and once you unlock one Distilled Titan EssenceDistilled Titan Essence, you should be able to purchase another one for gold to be able to upgrade all existing Legendary items.

I don't agree with it that existing Legendary items will need to be upgraded whereas new will drop at the upgraded item level. Having acquired many Legendaries, It's too punishing for players who keep playing the game and more rewarding for newcomers / alts / whatever.

Besides that the quest line wasn't tagged as Legendary to let players know ahead. Maybe there will be no gate at all. We'll find out after holidays.

That's... annoying. I don't like the questline to start with because the redemption story and its reliance on fate is asinine. The weekly limit was the final straw that stopped me from participating at all. I'm not willing to grind with strangers weekly, and I can't build a guild group consistently. These are the same reasons I'm effectively locked out of Mythic+ : there are too many off-weeks where I won't or can't do dungeons.

In light of this, I simply won't upgrade my legendaries.

 I love wow, been playing since the beginning but the direction they are going now with all the gating is a step backwards. It reminds me of the huge chart i used to have to consult to get ready to raid at level 70. All the quests i had to do on mains and alts for ssc and the like. Professions gated behind mythics, item appearances you can do the requirements for but not recieve because you dont have the base item unlocked, nighthold with the only true raid set armor with the bonus so far making the rest of the raids feel like filler, all the little things that they are trying to do to make it take longer like no flying and roots in road and having to ride around half a mountain just to get to quest mobs a few yards away and slightly up hill.

 All of those things combined is making it harder and harder for me to log in each day. You should absolutely have to work for your rewards i just dont like the feel of the artificial time barrier and the feel this expansion is taking on. I want to get things done in an efficient manner, i want them to be and feel rewarding. What i dont want is for them to just be handed to me because i just waited much like the feel of legendaries as it stands now. I have 5 legendaries across my main and alts that came from just doing emissary quests. First one i got i wasnt excited, i was relieved, and the rest did not even feel that good, just "great it was about time i got another one" feeling.

It's like it's 2006 with all the locking out, time walls, and various other old resurrected bs.  I've given up on trying to be competitive in PvE and just PvP.  At least it's somewhat easier to be competitive - glaring class imbalance notwithstanding.

And then they stubbornly refuse to make WQ rewards adhere to loot spec because "WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY YOUR OTHER SPECS GUYS"

I knowwww

I don't -want- to play SV or BM on this Hunter, world quests with iron and arcane relics are only annoyances, they won't make me change my mind.

It's even worse on classes that have specs that use different primary stats... yay Intellect trinkets all the time from every WQ as a Monk when you know you don't want to play MW.

I guess its right that it is locked behind the progress. It makes sense. You play you class you have this progression, you have alts fine, its you problem to progress them as well. This equals different people and so on. They lowered CD on Artifact knowledge and this is fine, But this, even why it is a problem especially for those who run PvE races. They already have multiple alts iwth those progressions and so on, so  I hope that, they will leave this gating stay.

It really is just about the 10 soul fragments per week. Basically you can't really catch up at all, especially since a lot of people ignored the whole quest line on alts as it was completely unimportant for gearing and now it could suddenly be VERY important and they have no way of actually "putting in the work" cos they have to wait 8 weeks from today, no matter how much effort they put in.

They've put in catch up mechanics for the past couple of expansions' mandatory legendaies, but this expansion has me balk at alting, and I cannot imagine making anymore than one or two raid ready alts as a result.

Not to mention that this questline is some of the cheesiest writing of the entire expansion, which has actually been done fairly decently. Illidan is the new lord and saviour, since when? Before or after he became magically cured of his fel and defeat induced insanity?  He is prophesied to be some sort of destined only hope and destroyer of the Legion, and we look at his earlier life of him being a complete douche -- what are we then with our artifacts? Cheerleaders? We've gotta bring his soul back from the Nether! What, we can do this? Why aren't we doing this for Varian and Vol'jin? The former one shot a freakin' Fel Reaver, and Vol'jin simply deserved better - were they not worth the effort or something? What notable feats of leadership and accomplishment are we going through (almost literal) hell to bring Illidan back for to crown him our only hope? His ineptitude? Dying or being mortally wounded and forced to retreat repeatedly? His lack of basic empathy and compassion, and a self centred interest rooted in a huge ego problem? Does he have access to some sort of super Demon Hunter powers the ones we have don't? Do his glaives brew fresh coffee? 

Do you know who the best option out of him and his brother is? Neither. It's Tyrande. 

Think about it. 

Malfurion has goofed up almost as many times as his brother has in recent years, all the while Tyrande does her duties as not only a faction leader of the Alliance, but also the roles of a warrior general and a Priestess of the Moon - AN ACTUAL GODLIKE ENTITY ON OUR SIDE ALREADY - who has the experience of thousands of years behind her, makes sharp, quick decisions for the situation if it demands it, and has the diplomatic and strategical awareness to come to the aid of a rival if success depends on it, or purely because it is the right thing to do. 

Sure, let's bring Illidan back, because we need his skill, knowledge and whatever else he has when he's not being a colossal failure, but this whole sacrifice foreshadowing is building up to be one lame Matrix style ending where you bring someone back from the dead, only to have them cop it in the next movie that leaves the impact of bringing them back hollow and meaningless. Imagine if Tyrande called on her gift from Elune for the last time at the 'ending' of Warcraft and undid the evil of the Legion at a huge cost of something applicable, since at this point, I am open to any suggestions that are more believable than the current 'Illidan is the new Green Jesus', including the curse of Undeath. Boom, Forsaken redemption, the Stormrage brothers hug it out, the Jedi ghosts smile from the shadows of the Endor moon's forests, roll credits.

OK...hol' up.  Please correct me if I'm wrong but these Lingering Soul Fragments can only be obtained in dungeons with a higher percentage chance of them dropping in Mythics?  Here's my problem.  I hate dungeons.  Just a personal thing but I don't like 5 man content.  I do however enjoy raiding and am an active member of my team.  I currently have the two BiS legendaries for my DH (ring and bracers) so now what am I suppose to do?  Run content (over and over) that I REALLY don't enjoy because Blizz is introducing new legendaries at a higher ilvl and gating the upgrades of existing behind dungeon content?  If I'm correct, so much for being able to do what you enjoy in-game...

Basically yea. Blizzard still haven't confirmed or denied that this will be required for the upgrades, but if it is and they at least remove the 10 per week cap you could easily get it all done in one day of mythic+. You wouldn't even need to go to high M+ either, so it would only be a small burst of doing what you don't like.

Personally I think they might just remove this quest requirement entirely, especially after seeing the reactions to it.

I have to agree. Legion started out so great, best rollout of any expac, then the legendary system brought it all back down. I have 2 legendaries only, both on my main (a druid). I play resto and have not even started gearing the boomkin. First drop was good for my resto but not BiS, second drop was for my boomkin spec even though I have my thing set to drop loot only for resto. I equipped it because I can wear 2 legendaries finally and it was slightly better than the epic I had even though the special function only works for boomkin spec.   /sad

Thanks a lot blizz! (not...)

Got my second legendary earlier at 4 days 20 hours /played at 110 ;p

Shadow Hunter's Voodoo Mask, can't even equip it, still have two weeks and a half before I unlock that. Not worth equipping over Zevrim's Hunger but it's definitely going to be nice once I can equip it. I mean heck, 70% of max health heal every 30 seconds? That's pretty good, plus the stats on it are amazing for me (and it brings me to 860 ilv so yay!)

I'm not personally too bothered by the gating, this is something I'll end up doing at my own pace. I don't think there's really anything wrong with requiring 5-man content to upgrade gear you may need for raiding since I believe 5-man content to be a stepping stone towards raiding, but for people who are well into raiding it's kinda shitty to have it time-gated like this with no prior warning, and no catch-up mechanics. I hope they add some way for you to ketchup if you're behind on the Lingering Soul Fragments.

Though I guess removing the 10 per week limit would work well enough, or perhaps removing the Illidan quest line requirement altogether.

Agreed.  This is starting to get really annoying.  I don't mind a bit of grinding because after all I don't mind the feeling that I earned something but this, this is starting to feel ultra grinding.  If feel like on one hand Blizzard is telling me to just play one spec and one character but on the other hand they want me to play many characters.  Make up your mind Blizzard!

Was one of people's biggest gripes with Sunwell walling - you'd work hard, push to get that first kill of a boss, then have to wait anyway and people would eventually catch up, so your early kill meant nothing.

We're not entirely sure how this rumor got started, but it's false - the 7.1.5 Legendary upgrades are not connected to the Illidan chain.

      Items
      Grotto Netherwing Drake’s Black Scales should be properly awarded to players who have completed the Now THIS is Dragon Racing!  
      Season of Discovery
      There are now Emerald Warden guard NPCs present near Nightmare Incursion questgivers and quartermasters. The Atal’ai Mojo consumables are now Unique (2), allowing two to be carried and used. There is now a 2.60 speed version of the off-hand weapon Serpent’s Striker, available from Zalgo the Explorer on Yojamba Isle in exchange for the 1.50 speed version of the item.

      We have quite a few changes coming for healers in Season 4 with next week's reset, as Blizzard detail the overall reduction of throughput for some specs, as well as buffs to others. 
      Healer Tuning (Source)
      In Season 4, we’re reducing the overall throughput of some healers to better align with our tuning goals. At the same time, we’re increasing the comparative power of Holy Paladin, Preservation Evoker, and Holy Priest without needing to further escalate the capabilities of healers.
      The following adjustments are now deployed to the 10.2.6 PTR, and will go live with the beginning of Season 4 next week.
      Monk
      Mistweaver All healing done reduced by 13%. Does not apply in PvP combat. Druid
      Restoration All healing done reduced by 5%. Does not apply in PvP combat. Shaman
      Restoration All healing done reduced by 5%. Does not apply in PvP combat. Priest
      Discipline Developers’ notes: As part of our goal for balancing healers in raids, we would like to reduce raid healing output for Discipline Priest without affecting them in other content. Atonement transfers 35% of damage to healing (was 40%). Atonement healing increased by 70% outside of raids (was 50%). Atonement healing increased by 35% in PvP (was 15%). Player vs. Player
      Monk
      Mistweaver Ancient Teachings healing transfer amount reduced to 375% in PvP combat (was 412%).

      Now's the perfect time to unlock your missing Plunderstorm rewards with doubled Renown gains until April 30th!
      (Source)
      Hoist the sails and batten the hatches; a Plundersurge begins this week with weekly maintenance!
      The Plunderstorm event is ending on April 30, but until then, pirating players can double the amount of Renown earned from all sources of Plunder by taking the Plundersurge. 
      Set Sail for the Plunderstorm
      Plunge into a challenging battle that earns excellent rewards for World of Warcraft® Modern and Classic progression realms. All you have to do is survive…and plunder. Can't seem to stay in the realm of the living? No problem. Plunderers still gain progression that helps unlock new rewards.
      Each match is 10-15 minutes long and has 60 players per match, with the winner being the last one standing. Level up and acquire new abilities and spells by killing creatures and enemies, looting chests, and avoiding the encroaching storm.
      A Pirate's Life for You
      The Arathi Highlands is the backdrop for this pirating adventure, and you'll have plenty of challenges to keep you busy.
      Prepare to Plunder
      Plunderstorm is perfect for pick-up and play! No expansion purchase is required, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is needed to participate in a high-stakes, play-by-the-seat-your-pants match. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of plundering fun by simply installing the modern (Live) World of Warcraft client:
      Launch the Battle.net desktop app. Click the World of Warcraft icon at the top. If the icon is missing, click on All Games and select the game from the list. On top of the Install button is a drop-down menu. Confirm that you wish to install World of Warcraft. Click Install. Once you’re in modern WoW:
      Select Plunderstorm2 from the World of Warcraft game menu to get into the action. Create a new, ready-to-play character—player characters are unique to this event. You don't need previous knowledge of races and classes to chart your course for mayhem. Choose between Solo or—to play with your Battle.net friends—make a group from the Plunderstorm character screen and select Duo. If queued for a Duo without a partner, you'll be automatically matched with one. You can also access chat, customize characters, and see the queue from the Character Select Screen. Action Bar and Abilities, Worthy Mates
      Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies. Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control.
      Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.
      Upgrades to Your Spells and Abilities
      Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic). There are also plenty of plundering opportunities—various treasure chests with different rarities that harbor all types of abilities are stashed around the map. Always stay on the lookout for better loot and upgrades.
      Spectating Spectre
      Upon death, keep watching the match from the perspective of your teammates (if they're still alive) or other players, including their loadout.
      Rewards A-Plenty for Plundering Pirates
      Players can earn cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts as they progress through the reward track. These include the majestic Polly Roger parrot mount, Bubbles the crab pet, swashbuckling cosmetics, 750 Trader's Tender from "Keg Leg's Crew" for use on the Trading Post, and more. 3 A victory is not required to claim the spoils of a well-fought fight.
      To view Renown and apply the Plunderstorm weapon and transmog customizations, change titles, or summon pets, swabbies can click on Da'kash Grimledger standing directly in front of the spawn point in the Plunderstorm lobby.
      Customization unlocks are simultaneously unlocked for Dragonflight characters and can be found in your Collection. Each Renown level unlock is noted in colored text under the reward name, whether the reward is for Dragonflight, Plunderstorm, or Classic.

      Check out our first look at MoP Remix coming in Patch 10.2.7!
      When Patch 10.2.7 goes live, you will be greeted by the following screen, informing you about the MoP Remix event and its objectives. There will be a button that lets you create your Timerunner (character).


      Similar to Plunderstorm, there will be an icon on the character screen for MoP Remix with the number of days remaining.

      Timerunners will be marked with a special icon next to their name on the character selection screen.

      When you first enter the game, you'll start with a short intro quest on the Timeless Shore. Your character will be affected with the Pandaria: Remix buff.

      The quest intro features a few unique quests before you start replaying MoP from the very beginning. It introduces you to Bronze, the event's currency used to buy items and upgrade gear.  
      Throughout your journey you will come across some very unique gear just like this cloak (Cloak of Infinite Potential) that permanently increases in power (Timerunner's Advantage).

      Your char will have access to two important Timerunning abilities.
      Extract Gem - Extract a gem from one of your socketed items. Unraveling Sands - Summon Unraveling Sands that transforms your unwanted items into Bronze. Gems offer a lot of customization in MoP Remix and you want to extract them with Extract Gem, because placing a new gem on top of a socketed one will make you lose it.
      If you come across unneeded gear, you can scrap it for Bronze with Unraveling Sands.
