Why on earth is this a thing? Covenants are supposed to be WoW’s version of subclasses right? That is what we heard from panels and have read in blue posts and articles, these are supposed to be defining parts of our character. And now I’m being told it only defines me when I’m in 5 zones of the game? I’ve been on beta for 10 minutes and already I’ve encountered 3 problems that are going to waste even more dev time fixing:
-
Every beta build I do my testing at the orgrimmar target dummies. Can’t use my covenant ability there
-
Couldn’t use my Cov. abilities at the runecarver or even in TORGAST lol
-
Going to assume since it doesnt allow it in torgast that Battlegrounds and Arenas are also probably a no go as well.
I just have to ask why? Whats the point? Why waste the dev time to add this restriction that competely goes against all of your stated design intent with meaningful, impactful choice that defines our character only to go 'oh wait, but only while you’re in zone XYZ. Just bewildering
