Today? Sounds like you only get rep for one specific faction per day? So in other words, a worse version of what we used to have.
I dont think its purpose is for alt-catchup, it's there to help people out balancing their progress on the factions. Some people are really behind on Tuskarr or and other faction. This should even it out a bit more while also helping to catch up in a late patch like 10.0.7.
This might be like MoP's ability to pick a faction to get rep from your first dungeon/scenario of the day with
I am sure there are a lot of other players out there like me who have quite happily been earning reputation with the current factions and are level 25 + on each. Then we have the "others" who want everything at once, why do we have to grind rep why can't we fly straight away. Like most things in life if you want something you have to work for it. I wish Blizzard would stop pampering the moaners in the game the expansion has barely started and you are making things easier for them already. I for or one am enjoying the expansion and think you have achieved a good balance with the Dragon flying and rewards during rep grinding. At the end of each expansion the moaners complain of little to do only because you have giving them the means to accelerate their progession.
We already had something similar to this in MoP, when we could champion a faction. Either way, this is good news. The current renown to 25 takes longer than it used to for getting exalted with most factions.
Would it just be a catch up system for alts or could new rewards be involved? At first glance this seems pretty pointless for main characters, they'll be maxed out before that patch.
Yes! Bring back The Callings/Emissaries
Honestly the only issue i have with reps is that it's a bit of a chore on alts even with the rep boosts and boa tokens. I honestly wish they'd make the recipe rewards from reputations account bound like most cosmetics are, that way it's easier to max out professions on alts.
#$%^ me man Dragonflight keeps getting better everry week. Blizzard with the constant tuning and nice content makes this exp one of the best so far. I love Dragonflight. Cant believe the same company released shadowlands
just have it like it was in wrath with tabards, and gain rep while doing dungeons/quest/raids/WQuest/pvp.Forget the whole "but people will grind it out in a week" So what? so people literally only have that option, and making so you can just grind it out while doing you normal thing is alot nicer than targeting specific loot boxes that drop rep tokens. And if you are so worried about grinders just dont add and sort of power behinde the reps, just cosmestic, titles and mounts.So tired of all the attention hardcore players get, make the game playable without getting a headache. Dare i say make the game fun :)
It would be nice if they made the rep from the siege boxes, archivist request and feast weekly quests BoA tokens once you're max renown too, of course. It's weird that they aren't, honestly.
Real talk? I miss the tabard system from Wrath it was such an amazing system which made the grind so much more bareable i wish they would bring it back. They could balance it so that you only get rep from the tabard for the current expansion EG Dragonflight reps only from Dragon flight dungeons
As a player who is max renown for all factions, and a few alts getting pretty high too, I hope this is not just a catch-up mechanic. Hoping there may finally be something worthwhile from keeping on gaining rep. Because the paragon chests (even with the addition of a few primal chaos, etc.) are really unrewarding. By the time you hit max and get paragon boxes the need for these types of mats are really low. And even the gold amount is no more than the weekly.I happily farmed these chests through the whole of previous factions, but have no bothered with doing one WQ more than needed since hitting max this time.Just chuck in a few recoloured pets and mounts and I'll be happy. Boost the droprate towards the end of the expansion to help people with bad RNG just about guaranteed to get them (nothing worse than farming obsolete dailies to get a low droprate item).
It seems to me like this might be the return of emissaries/callings system from the past 3 expansions which is a good thing. With emissaries you would get a big chunk of rep for a different faction every day and that's how most people leveled their reputations instead of constantly doing daily and world quests and Dragonflight doesn't have anything like that so far. Weekly quest and weekly events give way too little rep, and world quests and centaur dailies are not daily but bi weekly so you are extremely limited in ways you can farm the rep unless you want to do some degenerate grinds like dirt farming.
