Purchasing Raid ensembles now rewards all difficulty variations (Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic.)
Originally a surprise highlight in the Midnight Alpha Development Notes, MrGM brought up whether that behavior would also be present in Legion Remix during a recent interview with Ion Hazzikostas, a question the Senior Game Director did not have an immediate answer to.
Appearing to have followed up on that question, we now have confirmation that players will be able to save some bronze in the upcoming event, only having to purchase the sets and ensembles once to unlock each of the various variants.
Fully collecting a class set’s appearances now unlocks all lower difficulty variants. For example, collecting all Mythic appearances will automatically unlock the Heroic, Normal, and Raid Finder variants while unlocking Heroic would only unlock Normal and Raid Finder, etc. Eligible sets will be marked as such in the set collection UI. This change is retroactive to all legacy content. Items will no longer change their appearance when upgraded.
Developers’ notes: While we feel the Catalyst has been largely successful in expanding access to powerful seasonal set bonuses, it has also generated friction in its dual use as the primary source of class set appearances for many players. This friction has been further exacerbated by loot roll restrictions in situations such as participating in LFR raiding. In conjunction with this change, we want to better preserve the value and identity of item art from difficult content.
This means that instead of purchasing the Raid Finder Ensemble: Dreadwyrm Battleplate, Normal Ensemble: Dreadwyrm Battleplate, Heroic Ensemble: Dreadwyrm Battleplate, and Mythic Ensemble: Dreadwyrm Battleplate individually, just one purchase should unlock all four variants!
