It is honestly A MASSIVE SHAME that Blizzard couldn’t help themselves to bait us into believing that the Cloak of Infinite Potential will transfer the stats including leveling XP boost onto your alts from your main character…

they nerfed the frog grind spot too .. i only got an hour in b4 it got nerfed.. blizz is like fun detected must nerf. my alts cloak is just 52% xp while my mains is 200%xp
a play on words. They got me on it.
I was disappointed the main's stats didn't transfer 1:1, especially as it showed in PTR and was as you said bait and switch mode. If they had said "Your alts start with 100% XP and can earn additional threads/XP on THAT alt only as it levels", I'd be fine with that. Otherwise I'm enjoying all the gem abilities, and I actually like the boxes as a reward that is useful – use it or scrap to ONE currency!
The thing is that none of the stats transfer on the cloak, 0. None.
The only thing that affects alt cloaks is the achievement chain "infinite power" which when you have all of them (Infinite power XII) means your alt cloak starts with some primary and secondary stats and +100% experience. That's it. You can never get it more powerful for your alts at the start.
The main stats of your cloak do not matter, at all. None of it transfers over, it doesn't matter if you have 100 mainstat, 1000 mainstat or even 1million mainstat. It does not matter.
There is no retaining 50% of the power, there is no retaining at all, its 0%. Again only that achievement matters.
Still lurking and watching your content gyro. I’ve been in SoD mainly but this seemed like a good mix of retail and SoD. Was waiting for your realistic honest take on this mode. I’ll probably give it a go on the alliance side (always been horde) for the story. Thanks mate! I know what to expect thanks to you
I was initially a little disappointed with the XP loss. After that I’ve enjoyed it. I like the mob difficulty a little better than regular retail for leveling.
Oh how disappointing! I'm fairly certain they said the cloak would transfer wholly? Can't properly remember though. Need better expectation management, Blizz! While I do want the process to be fun, I was looking forward to levelling some alts Pretty Damn Fast. They did say in an interview that they would be keeping an eye on it and may well tweak accordingly. I'll still resub in June I think. Thanks for the heads up, Gyro.
Pretty disappointed by the frog nerf and the cloak bait. The frog nerf without reverts will create two tiers of players in Remix: those who were able to exploit it and those who weren't. The cloak bait is reconcilable, because (as you said) we made it up in our minds. They knew what they were doing, but they didn't do anything wrong. It sucks, but I can get over that part.
Yesterday on my mid 60 level druid tank I was having fun and looking forward to becoming more powerful. Then I hit 70 and felt weaker than a cream puff. That's ok I thought today would be power up time and was sure that some good gear would drop. Nope, nothing. I feel weaker than I did at level 20. Thats why I will not be leveling another character.
The cloak was bait and switch, something that Blizzard has refined into an art form, and there are a lot of disappointed people out there. Couple that with the frog murder, which I will not call an exploit as Blizzard allowed it to happen, some people are now so strong they can solo a raid while the rest of us struggle to kill an elite. Not sure how something that looked so good could be so ruined. Gold medal to Blizz, they played us well. With all that said I hope others are having a better experience and enjoying themselves. 🙂
Remix is such a cluster that it honestly is making me want to stop playing. Frog nerf without fixing players who used it ruins the immersion for me. You got people doing like 1-2 mil dps without even trying.
They got us for sure.. Here is one of my main arguments.. At 70 doing raid bosses and queuing LFR gives threads of experience gain.. what does that matter if it wouldn't translate to an alt down the line. Why loot XP gains when you are at max level. I understand you can do raid bosses before max level but also disincentives' players who are at max level that get loot and rewards from queuing that do not matter. I for one was extremely excited to level a few alts using this method. Get super powerful thinking that all the time I play no matter which toon will translate to more power overall in the cloak so if I was leveling with friends or doing dungeons or raids with max level guildies either way power was increasing. That is simply not the case and really put a damper on my fun for this event, as well as the amount of time that I will be spending inside of the event as I did all this 10 years ago when mists was current.. I got Alani and all the rep mounts. Yes there are a few rare drop mounts I don't have (as well as the new mounts for this mode) that I can buy with bronze now but that isn't enough to keep me excited for this mode.
I was really disappointed with the cloak when I created my first alt and saw such tiny stats. I didn’t think it would be 1 to 1 but I expected more. I was looking forward to leveling alts and seeing only 100% xp bummed me out. Not gonna lie, logged out right after seeing that.
All I wanted Form this event is the 32 new mounts. I leveled my first char today to 70, got 45k bronze. Need 103k ish bronze for all new mounts, so I‘ll level a second char to 70. farm the rest of the bronze I need and then take a break.
It would have been fun to be totally OP, and maybe that will happen, but as it is at the moment, I surely will not farm an extra 500k to upgrade my gear, just to feel OP.
If I need that feeling, I can simply log into a lvl 70 on retail got to any MOP raid and am automatically OP. No bronze farming needed for that
actually you can make alts quite overpowered with the gems main prob is that you need to trade them with a friend and then have it give them back to you
another thing I just noticed, if you lv up an allied race char although you wont get the quest for the heritage armor, you will get the quest in another char for it that isn't in the remix
"Misleading" is the word I think.
As always, I want to thank everyone who constructively chipped in, clarified what's going on to the best of their ability, and generally helped provide constructive feedback to Blizzard that they'll never read or care about… 🙄🤣 Hey, at least we tried, boys!
