Patch 10.1.5
Patch 10.1.5
What does everyone think about the changes to Allied Races and Riding Skills? I for one am excited, at least for the Allied Races updates. I don't really mind one way or another for the Riding Skills. It'll be nice not to have to dump a load of gold into skills and basic mounts for each new character, but the game hands gold out hand over fist in the early levels.
I was looking at the requirements for unlocking the Zandalari Trolls earlier tonight, and WOW. 😱 That's a big time sink! I imagine it'll feel like treason for those who went through all the steps to unlock the allied races prior to the patch... But it'll be nice not to have to drag myself through all those steps. 😅
What's the community's thoughts on these changes?
10.1.5 isn't out yet, and there's no official date as far as I know. Just nebulously "this summer." There are more changes, including Warlock coming to a bunch of new races. Full patch notes here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/dragonflight-fractures-in-time-ptr-development-notes/1587226

I like the riding skill change a lot. Mainly because I never remember to buy the riding skill when I reach the level and just keep running around :D I also keep forgetting to put my skill points to use too...
I started playing when Shadowlands just came up, so I have almost none of the allied races unlocked. I've been looking forward to doing that, but just haven't found the time to do that. I suppose all the quests etc. will stay in the game, but now there's less incentive to do them.
I'm still waiting for the cross-faction play in open world and queued instances too, but maybe that's coming in the future too.
My lifetime of being a cheapass with all my alts is about to payoff. And also I'm definitely going to make some allied race alts now that i don't have to go back and do all the old content i avoided by skipping BFA and SL.
Lol, I've seen this exact thing a lot. So many people only pulled out the ole gold pouch for their mains and let their alts wander the lands on foot. No more!
As someone who unlocked a majority of the allied races the old fasioned way having come back from not playing since WOTLK, it should have happened a long time ago. I'm not mad they're making it available to everyone after I did it, I'm glad they're finally making it available to everyone. I can finally reccomend the game to my friends and they can play whatever race they want!
