Soon there will be suitable loot in World of Warcraft and thus less frustration.
Yesterday we revealed what will change in Season 2 of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. The item levels of many rewards are increasing and numerous contents will become harder to reflect that. Now, however, the Game Director Ion Hazzikostas has revealed another change that may please many players.
Appropriate rewards from emissary quests: Starting with Season 2 (January 23, 2019), the loot obtained from emissary quests and faction assaults will be adjusted. The loot obtained will now consistently be an item intended for the currently selected loot specialization.
Previously, it was possible for players to receive items from loot boxes of emissary quests or upon completing a faction assault that were not intended for their current specialization. For instance, warriors or paladins could receive shields even though they did not want a tank reward.
Normal world quests are not affected: This change does not apply to “normal” world quests. These will still grant a fixed reward, which can also be for non-selected specializations. This is intended to prevent developers from making players switch through all specializations to see which world quests provide the best loot for which specialization. That would not be enjoyable gameplay.
Additionally, players might still hope to receive items from world quests that they are still missing for a specific specialization.
The changes will take effect next week on January 23, 2019, coinciding with the opening of the new raid “Siege of Dazar’Alor”.
