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

envoyé 22/07/2020 à 14:45 par 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.

Commentaire de RoguePostDocThe strength and weakness part is so outta touch with the community.... Just look at the WarcraftLog and Raider.io.

Everyone can just look up what I am good or bad at, and I'm pretty sure that most people would prefer classes with the best average over those classes with exceptional good at one part but not at the other.

This is a needless stubborn idealism. The idea is great, but practical application will never achieve such goal. Why? Because this is not a single-player RPG; this is MMORPG. All these differentiation should come from the individuals who are playing the character, not these needless arbituary factors.Commentaire de KiorelleI wish someone would define what "really strong catch-up mechanics" means.Commentaire de ZeionsThe strength and weakness part is so outta touch with the community....

It gives you more stuff to do, it unlocks quests, mounts, pets, soulbinds, transmog, adventures, etc etc.Commentaire de SaucifletteLove the dungeon interaction with the covenants.Commentaire de WoWDontuAlot of these concerns about tHe rIgHt cOvenEnt are addressed and solved if you just join a guild. Stop pugging. You're welcome. I loved the legion dungeons that gave buffs based on professions! Wished that carried on into BfA but this is a nice addition to SL.Commentaire de bicornsThe dungeon interactions sound interesting. A bit of a concern for pugs of course, if it means you need one person of each covenant to execute the dungeon optimally.. Or if only the covenant of the area where the dungeon is gets a buff in that specific dungeon - which I could see them doing for lore and such. But I can also imagine they'd disable the interactions for M+ to make sure no covenant has an advantage over another.Commentaire de TaintedoneIt 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.Commentaire de LGraf1Hah, 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?Commentaire de TiddleyThey feel like they have a lot of balance tuning knobs that can be introduced by conduits.Commentaire de KufruIt's kind of admitting that convenants won't be balanced, and trying to compensate that with something like this is a bad idea.

If the convenant buff in a dungeon is too strong, that will incline groups to find a specific convenant player, and that's the opposite effect of what is wanted...
(We wan't too bring the player and not the convenant...)
If the buff is weak, groups will just search for the OP convenant of the month.

And there is no way to keep this buffs balanced when players will gear up, even it will grow stronger, or weaker.

Seeing that convenants will be inbalanced in this state is a good thing, but introducing new features that will reinforce this isn't the good way of fixing it.
It is still time to change convenant abilities to make it cosmetic only, or abilities with a lesser impact on gameplay / performance.
