Windows Central Interview with Morgan Day - Unique Covenant Effects in Dungeons, Covenant and Conduit Balancing

Pubblicato 22/07/2020 alle 14:45 da Squishei

Window Central's Interview with Morgan Dayfull InterviewCovenant Balancing

The developers feel like Conduits are a big part of where Covenant power is coming from.

They feel like they have a lot of balance tuning knobs that can be introduced by conduits.

A big part of the class balance discussion is making sure that players feel like they have distinct strengths and weaknesses, making them feel unique

Even though there are weaknesses, the goal is to having tuning knobs required to shore up those weaknesses.

e.g. If you feel like you're not being invited to Mythic+ because of your choices, those are places they'll try to make changes.

Unique Dungeon Interactables

Dungeons will have unique interactions with your Covenant choice.

If you're a Kyrian, you can repair a defeated automaton on the ground in the Necrotic Wake which grants you and your party buffs.

Swapping Covenants

Joining another covenant will be easy, but rejoining a Covenant you left will be more difficult.

There will be some tasks that they would ask you to do.

You'll keep any progress that you've made including Renown and Soulbind progress.

There will be really strong catch-up mechanics.

Renown

Renown comes purely in levels.

When you're behind, you will get new opportunities to earn Renown.

When you're really far behind, you can start getting Renown from repeatable sources like Mythic+ or PvP.

Commento di OminousI've been having a bit of difficulty keeping up with all these new mechanics and terms, but is renown the new form of "artifact power" or something?Commento di NatakutdhI've been having a bit of difficulty keeping up with all these new mechanics and terms, but is renown the new form of "artifact power" or something?Commento di chronophobia42Hah, remember when Ion said that your covenant shouldn't have any effect on your ability to get into pugs?
How can he believe that if your covenant will directly impact player power from one dungeon to another?Commento di ShaykinIt sounds like they have a really good handle on tuning things that will give weaker covenants better opportunities if they’re too weak for progression type stuff. That’s good that they have it on their radar! Definitely appealing for all the folks who have been worried that they’d have to choose a covenant solely on the abilities they offer, let’s hope that remains the case.Commento di allbrianI've been having a bit of difficulty keeping up with all these new mechanics and terms, but is renown the new form of "artifact power" or something?Commento di theepicmandxHah, remember when Ion said that your covenant shouldn't have any effect on your ability to get into pugs?
How can he believe that if your covenant will directly impact player power from one dungeon to another?Commento di SammywitchdrI could care less about soul binds and conduits and all that.

I want Class skins! I want the temporary/zone only abomination mounts to be permanent!

I want armor Dyes!

I want Armor restrictions removed for transmog as they are pointless with how heritage armor work and with how many npcs are obviously wearing multiple armor classes at once. Transmog armor restrictions should die in the shadowlands, let us mog how we want.Commento di Assassini like these. really like them but they shouldn't be as impactful as rogues in tol-dagor, but not abilities tho .please make ABILITIES interchangable.

btw catch up will not be enough for being alt friendly. because you want to have alts from day 1. there is nothing to catch up but if you wanna do the same grind for multiple chars is exhausting.Commento di Sarth1sIf you're a Kyrian, you can repair a defeated automaton on the ground in the Necrotic Wake which grants you and your party buffs.Commento di honorshammerThis sounds sort of like the various Profession intractables in Court of Stars. It was never a reason to bring someone with profession over another. It was just a different way to do the dungeon based upon what you had in your party.Commento di JorthHah, remember when Ion said that your covenant shouldn't have any effect on your ability to get into pugs?
How can he believe that if your covenant will directly impact player power from one dungeon to another?Commento di highvoltage988If you're a Kyrian, you can repair a defeated automaton on the ground in the Necrotic Wake which grants you and your party buffs.Commento di XaleaWill people learn not to farm AP/renown whatever, now that they've been through the massive catch-up mechanics of Legion, BfA, and now promised in SL? I have alts that are blowing through months of AP on live right now, and I just find it so hilarious. I know it's the end of the expansion, but still. Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda pointless to have these systems if there's such strong catch-ups involved? Either have them or don't.

More importantly, I think SL will be the last of their borrowed power systems ideas for a long while. These convoluted systems are going to end up in a giant train wreck. I think they already know it but they are too committed to it in the core design of SL, just like they were too commited to Azerite during the BfA beta. They'll end up undoing the covenant ability/conduit requirements, creating a band-aid on top of them later, etc. Remember when we just leveled, then did the content we found fun, got gear/points for it, and went on with life? It's fine to expand on ideas, but not these borrowed/remaking-the-game systems every two years that just end up getting dumped in the trash can. Again, what's the point?Commento di instigCovenantsCommento di silverdevilboyI've been having a bit of difficulty keeping up with all these new mechanics and terms, but is renown the new form of "artifact power" or something?Commento di r0bojesusIt sounds like they have a really good handle on tuning things that will give weaker covenants better opportunities if they’re too weak for progression type stuff. That’s good that they have it on their radar! Definitely appealing for all the folks who have been worried that they’d have to choose a covenant solely on the abilities they offer, let’s hope that remains the case.Commento di calmboarThis gets worse and worse.Commento di TOMRUSI don't think creating systems with strengths and weaknesses in a game that is all about min/maxing is good idea... It will cause nothing but frustration...
And Blizzard historically was never good at tuning, so no reason to hope they do it right this time around...Commento di fatgunnThe dungeon thing sounds neat. It will probably play out like the profession/class buffs in Court of Stars or the archaeology buffs in Cata dungeons.Commento di quickstopnirvanaThe title of this article made me think of something that might quell people angry about covenants. Maybe OUTSIDE of group content, your Covenant ability is the one you chose. But INSIDE of group content, you can just choose between the 4. Maybe there's even an NPC at the start of the instance or something so if everyone keeps wiping, you can change them on the fly. Just an idea, not sure if this is workable at all.
