Sounds meh honestly but guess we'll see how things feel.
This reminds me of the time over a decade ago when a friend of mine said how rested XP was dumb because it rewards you for not playing the game. I had never thought about it like that before then. Now that they're centering heirlooms around it, I can't help but agree.
So, we were right all along, they're going to be useless, definitely not surprised.I would rather have the heirlooms buffed back to have decent stats without these dumb effects instead of weaker-than-quest-greens stats with effects that will hardly make any difference.
Well, they could still tune their item budget so they're better than blues you would normally get while leveling. That would be something.
What a complete joke. Terrible idea entirely. We really need a refund.
that's a shame, those bonuses seem rather #$%^. Would be kind of nice if they had more of a combat effect to them rather than a severely gimped (rested)xp modifier. Something along the lines of the void satchel heirloom. It would also be nice if they looked at tuning the dread pirate ring a little, it's pretty difficult to get (unless they've changed it since) and is almost always a stat downgrade in comparison to rings you find while lvling and even the other heirloom rings from warlords. Just give it some main-stat or something, or at the least take away the main-stat from the other heirloom rings.
I've spent years getting my heirlooms collected because, considering I have the loremaster achievement, leveling gets really old after you've done all of it. I wouldn't have bought the upgrades if I'd known my reason for buying heirlooms was going to get stripped from them in favor of...an XP bonus you can only get by parking a character in a rested area?Maybe Blizz could make another set of heirlooms with a set bonus so you can choose between leveling fast, and interesting bonuses. Something that doesn't involve making heirlooms a waste of time and gold for people who were already happy with them. I'm not even mad at this point, just disappointed. PS: If you hate heirlooms, I suggest not wearing them. This game isn't designed to make 100% of people happy, but keeping heirlooms and providing some sort of alternative for everyone else is the easiest way to touch on the majority without taking something away from anyone.
I really don't care about the gold, still have 15 million leftover from WoD/legion gold missions after buying the 5M AH mount, but it is a bummer that future alts will take just as long to level as my main, even though old content.That time itself being shorter with 9.0 doesn't address that concern.
Rested exp redux is a sick bonus .
Will be interesting to see and how it really works.
I disagree that they are useless, their bonuses are just changing, for the better I think... but, to each their own...
GREAT CHANGE!
Yes, I would be perfectly happy with:1p: On-use effect, teleport to the nearest flightmaster, 5m cooldown, works in all 1-50 zones.2p: +15% runspeed outdoors and +30% indoors, stacking with other runspeed items/skills3p: +30% mountspeed at all times, also stacking4p: Major healing proc, RPPM, on hit6p: Major combat proc, RPPM, on hitAnd yes of course they should all stop working at max level.
What a crap change, can't believe people actually like this change. WoW continues to make terrible design choices.
