Relic Weapons: Going Forward

[MageBlack]

I thought they said it was soon after. Which could be a number of story quests into the expansion. In any case, I do not see them requiring any of the jobs that were are getting in the expansion to have to go back and do 2.0 content.

I saw the london fanfest that made people think it will be right out the gate. I dont believe it will be without any prerequisite. I'm sure there will be some sort of quest chain you need to complete that will be in the heavensward areas that can only be accessed after getting to level 50 and completing the story to the end of 2.0. I could be wrong but I don't think so. at the VERY least, it will be like the ROG where you needed to be level 10.

A) Old gear always gets invalidated by the newer gear. This is how things work. Just like in your example, the old raid gear gets replaced by the new raid gear.
B) This isn't one fell swoop also. This is an additional 10 levels, plus who knows what trail/tome/crafted/raid gear later.

It is fair as it allows all players to start off on the same footing. Whereas not making a brand new relic forces them to either create some type of catch up quest or forces them to nerf the entire previous relic to the ground so that players whom didn't complete the 2.0 relic, for whatever reason, can catch up.

The relic quest is a different beast. I seriously doubt they will let you skip all the 2.0 stuff and start off with the (ex, Ragnarok) at level 51. It is story driven. at the best they will relax the requirements to complete each stage but I think they will still make you go through the whole thing. That would be like saying if you buy heavensward you can start at level 50 because its only fair that they are caught up. Sorry, this is one thing of WoW (jump to level 90!) that we wont see for quite a long time. WoW has a good 10+years on this game so it makes sense for them to do it.
