Blizzard Discussing Crests and Fragments as Currency

Recommended Posts

It seems players' inventory woes related to the new crests and fragments will be here a while. Blizzard has responded to concerns over inventory clutter caused by the new Season 2 upgrade system, and we may be seeing the materials head to the currency tab... in Season 3. Maybe.

The existing crest and fragment arrangement certainly contributes to inventory management concerns. While I can’t promise anything at this early stage, moving crests to the Currency tab is under serious consideration and I think it’s more likely to happen than not for next season. Additionally, having players capped on a given tier of crest getting the next tier down as fallback rewards is under discussion.

And yes, I did implicitly reveal that our current tentative plans are that this system will be iterated on for Season Three.

To me, this seems unnecessarily complicated. Would have been more convenient to not have these crests and simply have one currency.

On the plus side you only have to it for each slot and not each piece that goes in that slot.

Yeah, flightstones = Valor already.    Why add crests to the mix in the first place?    They just added more stumbling blocks to collecting valor and doing higher tiers of difficulty that already existed.

I had the same thing, but then noticed that all the season 1 items are now either useless or for crafting lower level items that you probably won't need (and thus also useless). Selling/deleting all those items gave me pretty much the same amount of free inventory spaces that I needed to keep the new items. Probably even less since I only have Whelpling and Drake crests stacking up in my inventory, all the other ones are pretty much used when obtained for now and thus aren't taking up any spots.

Are this many crests unnecessary? Yeah. But I find it kind of weird that this discussion is sparking up now when I personally experienced it worse in season 1 and saw no discussion back then.

      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?
