Accessible content, valor points and the alt


I play a lot of alts. I don’t have as many alts as my friend Kol does (in Wrath, he had a max-level alt of every class in the game and several more besides), but I have four warriors at max level, a shaman at max level, two paladins in the high 70s, a druid who just dinged 73, four or five DKs between 60 and 80 on various servers, and a mage I don’t like to talk about.

I also raid. My raiding is semi-casual from my perspective, three nights a week for three or four hours a night, but we’re pretty exclusively doing hard mode content — so for some people, that’s fairly hardcore. I won’t pretend it’s easy for me to do much beyond 5-mans and BGs with any of my alts. I play about 20 hours a week, more than some, less than others, and am pretty happy with my main and what he can do.

One of the problems when playing one of my alts is that they’re simply not capable of even coming close to my main. Struggling through yet another Zul’Gurub slog on my Worgen becomes almost impossible when I know I could blast through it on my Tauren — but the Tauren wouldn’t benefit, whereas the Worgen needs the gear.

The announcement of [hide]Raid Finder for patch 4.3[/hide] has me thinking about how many of my alts will actually get to see raid-level content. [hide]New heroics[/hide] will also debut with patch 4.3, and for the first time in Cataclysm, a heroic dungeon will offer gear on par with raiding. (Up until now, even the ZA/ZG tier of heroics offers gear a step below the Tier 11 raids.) This means that we’re about to enter into a new way to play your alts.[hide]Continue reading Accessible content, valor points and the alt[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Analysis / Opinion[/hide], [hide]Raiding[/hide], [hide]Cataclysm[/hide][hide]Accessible content, valor points and the alt[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Mon, 10 Oct 2011 20:00:00 EST.
