You can buy the anima conductor, the travel network and the mission table this week and then get the big one next week. Then you save up anima to upgrade one the week after. It's really easy to plan for.
Damn. I've built every upgrade in the first week and was hoping to get Anima Conductor 2 in the second week. Building the Mission Table, Anima Conductor and Travel Network left me with 2 Redeemed Souls, so with the 5 next week, I won't have enough for the Anima Conductor, which needs 8. One short. Had I known this beforehand, I wouldn't have built the Travel Network.
I honestly become a bit sad of the complaining players one week into an expansion, with Blizzard trying to throttle some activities. What do you people actually want?
I wanted to do my covenant campaign.... all of it? no dude, i don't know how much, but certainly a bit more into it than where i am right now, i am greeted by a "earn renown 5 to continue the campaign" however... ok, what renown am I at? 3... and that's all I can do this week... next week is when i can get to 5 and continue...honestly... don't know what method is the best... this is my first time playing a wow expansion close to its launch... but it seems it's a mistake on my part, i should've waited to play 6 months in or later.
5 is tad too littleWhy not make it 5 with an option to farm 5 extra by pff idk killing x amount of rare mobs?
If you've never played an expansion at launch and are complaining about time gating, just know that an MMO might not be for you then. The whole point is to progress the story collectively as a group, not play a storyline individually as you would in a single-player game. The world is progressing, with or without you, and it's progressing at a pace you might not like, but the point is - no, you can't (and shouldn't be able to) save Ardenweald and Shadowlands all by yourself when the first raid isn't even out yet.
Will there be any catch up allowed for these? i.e. for alts or if you can't play for a week or two etc?If no catch up then its probably best to get some alts lvl'd to 60 now just to cap these weekly if you wanted to see / do the other covenant systems.
too many currencies this time. it's like they said, oh, you guys want currencies? well here's so many you can barely manage em all =(
There is far too much time gating seriously, I'm already getting bored of this expansion.
