Warband Bank access revoked for F2Ps & Vets

[Conzil]

bug fixed a moment ago, warband bank works as before for my f2p

I was kinda starting to hope it would stay removed, I wasn't a fan of it being removed without a warning, but Warbank feels too op for F2P
Going back to the old school F2P farming would have been fun.

Edit: Still doesn't work for me

tested it a moment ago, saw it worked, but after 2 min, not working again, perhaps they are fixing something on the server

Ah, starting to look more and more like a bug then.

not working again after 2min

Blizz realized they enabled a gold / item dupe with the fix after pushing it to live

Boo Conzil, boo

If we wanted easy mode we would have made Vets

3 people mentioned it might be a response to fury warriors, nobody blamed them specifically and more people than not mentioned that it probably has nothing to do with them

brush the chip off your shoulder man, the persecution complex is getting obnoxious

I ran multiple CATA TW with a fresh lvl10 in heirloom as a DPS and it was devastating experience, met frost DK tank, semi-afk tank, everything is just frustrating.

11 fury are a necessity at this point.

So.... is this unfucked yet, or still locking us out?

I've been Grinched. I wonder if they'll send a Blizzard employee to take a grumpling in my stocking for the cherry on top.

^^for real. Sounds like somebody feeling guilty lol.

Honestly i do think it makes the f2p life easier, lets me play more casual. But if they completely remove our warbank access, just let me keep depositing gold and withdraw all my items. The other way around can require sub haha

 

[Ferender]

I'm suprised the warbanks worked on accounts without gametime to begin with. Does suck that it seems to be gone though.

Not that I disagree, but...

 

[Fungalfury]

I logged on to my f2p to check and got this popup, might be game over.

Yea, tw was hard progression content before a bunch of budget twinks showed up with lifesteal on their vendor gear

 

[berbix]

Don't despair friends, this might be a dirty quick fix for cyrce rings unlimited upgrade bug, which is caused by blizzard push something meant for PTR to live server (LOL). Knowing blizzard, it's not very likely to push some major feature patch just around the xmas holiday.

No, they are not a necessity, just Luxury. People have done TWing for years and non needed 11s, obviously they make things much faster which is nice and all. But you don't necessarily need them to run TW. I've had my fair share of idiot parties, but we did it regardless. The core issue imo is, Cata TWing itself seems to be unbalanced or straight up broken, for some reason not once did I ever manage to finish a Cata TW dungeon without shit going south or everyone dying constantly. I don't know what is up with blizzard in this week's timewalking, everything is so clunky and broken. Not to mention Conzil's anger towards the TW vendor being buggy as shit. This week's TW is a shitfest honestly, I do hope legion's TW isn't as bad.

I don't think this change has anything to do with unintended update consequences. There are hotfixes that happen before they can develop a more elegant solution, 'hotfixing' it to be broken this is what they seeem to do in the mean time. You probably wouldn't get an error message when you try to access, if it's not coded to give one. If it were a 'bug' you would likely click it and get nothing. No response.

This error message looks very different from the last one, which would darken the window and say 'this bank is in use already' (paraphrasing). I would love to think this is bugged, but we kinda saw how long it took them to sort out the 'xp off toggle' bug. They're going to hotfix things to be broken like this until they determine what to do differently and then patch that in later. Probably for Midnight?

 

[AcesNEights]

I hope they revert this. It was one of the attractions to coming back and maybe even being a paid sub.

 

[toskosa]

Check back tomorrow after server downtime maybe it will be fixed.

The funny thing is the ability to see the Warband bank items and use Warband bank regents in F2P crafting.

Veteran accounts <=20 need active gametime before they can use the warband bank as well as still deposit regents or items used for crafting in the warband bank to be able to use with linked F2P (for now).
