blizz seems to think its funny to close off half of the timeless isle to anyone without the legendary cloak
But seriously it's one boss you might want to do at least once or twice for some loot. You're not missing out on much and you can always just like Goblin Glider over to the area to see it (unless they fixed that since the last time I was on the PTR which is highly likely).
Will there be a new legendary quest for those of us that were just getting started when it was taken away?
It is really a way to make casual gamers feel they are worthless yet again.
It is correct that you need the legendary cloak to fight Fire-God Ordos. It's not half of the Timeless Isle. It's one boss -- literally one thing on the isle you can't access without the legendary cloak. You can still get to the area surrounding Ordos using the Albatrosses.
Not entiiiiirely true. There's a decent chunk of the island locked off to those without the cloak that includes a few rares and treasure chests. I'm more upset about that fact than not being able to kill Ordos on day 1. In fact, I actually think this was a neat idea, I'm just beating myself up over letting myself fall behind on the cloak.
I would just prefer that those extra goodies weren't locked off. Sadly, despite there being easy methods to get to that section, once you enter the walled off area you get ported out.
