Comment by SoeroahBit worried about them adding more to islands, especially the weekly quest, but it sounds like there might be a reward system improvement hidden in these sources... What's a captain follower, and these treasure maps and missions?Comment by joeygigglesDisappointed in this. Was really hoping for something along the lines that would change rotations a bit and a bit more of a class specific affectComment by thebdcIs unlocking account wide or per character?Comment by dirtbiker98lame.

Can we be done with expansion rental abilities yet? Will we have to suffer through another expansion of this garbage?Comment by VanderzWithout them being class specific I can't get excited at all. :(Comment by PeredhilIs unlocking account wide or per character?BlizzComment by ThanatasgrI don't like the fact that PvE power upgrades are locked behind PvP. Dumb design Blizzard, fix it. Make it so you can get every essence through both PvP or PvE based on player choice.Comment by abris1995Operation: Mechagon HardmodeI don't like the fact that PvE power upgrades are locked behind PvP. Dumb design Blizzard, fix it. Make it so you can get every essence through both PvP or PvE based on player choice.Comment by DhrallI just wish they gave us all the artifact abilities back baseline. BfA classes are so scuffed. And this will turn into a balance nightmare since they are basically extremely overtuned trinkets available to all classes.

Going from legendaries, tier sets, artifact abilities and passives etc. to azerite armor (which is like tier sets, only static over all tiers) and now these powers which are available to all. And at the same time losing talents to fit some worse versions of artifacts and legendaries into the talent tree...

I have to say: the only classes I enjoy in BfA are classes I didn't play in Legion..Comment by BansheeGGFor those curious about the new Vision of Protection Essence and what abilities it impacts for other specs:

Dumb design Blizzard, fix it. Make it so you can get every essence through both PvP or PvE based on player choice.nearlywar campaign leading into Nazjatar.Comment by urzombo69Seriously, how hard would it have been to make them spec specific? Everyone shooting some generic laser beam or crap like that is lazy design imo.Comment by rafeyBlizzard never disappoint you ....
They know how to kill the funComment by sinangelusI don't like the fact that PvE power upgrades are locked behind PvP. Dumb design Blizzard, fix it. Make it so you can get every essence through both PvP or PvE based on player choice.Imagine the legendary essence for Touch of the Everlasting. It requires Mythic Azshara - something only 1% achieve. If they added a PvP equivalent, a lot more players will get a high PvP arena ranking than killing mythic Azshara, so players will argue they are 'forced' into PvP because it is so much easier to satisfy the PvP requirement than the PvE requirement - so regardless of your approach, Blizzard will not, and cannot, win. I want gladiator gear xmog but im not being forced to go get glad, I don't care for pvp or the xmog enough to really try, but if i cared enough to be the best PvE-er there is then id have to do other stuff. Comment by ChrisNewCooperSeriously, how hard would it have been to make them spec specific? Everyone shooting some generic laser beam or crap like that is lazy design imo.Comment by duranoxIf the battleground achievements are unrated i'm fine since that is usually not to bad.Comment by SpotnickOperation: Mechagon HardmodeComment by Pyrite13More ridiculous requirements to nerf fun! Why do I have to play WoW on a computer when I have a perfectly good microwave that I barely use? Why do I have to be literate to read the quest text? Blizzard should have every line voice acted...or personally read to me by a sultry employee. Worst patch ever! WoW is dead.Comment by lankybritIt seems that essences are totally designed for hardcore min-maxers. As a casual altaholic, this doesn't seem interesting to pursue at all.Comment by bigitylame.
