Edit: oops, too slow typing, already answered,
Lairs look really cool and a huge improvement over world bosses. World bosses were laggy and annoying.
Watched it on Supatease stream. Didnt see anything fun for pvpers. We get bots?
Thats not fun.
Everything else was just lame. Instanced world bosses? DUDE come on man.
Another obnoxious and disrespectful patch, like the last two have been.
It’s become increasingly uncommon to stumble across a world boss in progress without using groupfinder. Oversized groups fighting a world boss have also led to spikes of zonewide lag at times. Putting those fights in lairs appears acknowledge how people were usually treating world bosses anyway.
(I have some other thoughts just arising from my personal playstyle quirks, but I think I’ll keep that debate inside my head for now)
This all looks great but I’m more interested in the actual class updates when are we going to be seeing those. There are several specs that are just significantly behind everyone else for the entire first season.
Oh nice our resident candle is still around hooray.
For a major patch? Can’t say I’m excited. Feels a little underwhelming for me at least.
Exciting! Happy to see more troll content and additions to the major systems.
Still hoping we get a temporary save option for delve progress when we accept a queue.
And as with every update since the ui edit mode was added - please add an option to move the pvp objective tracker location (cart capture/ flag carrier/ orb carrier)!
Despite not being primarily a housing guy, housing blueprints and new endeavors (decor!) are the features that have me most excited so far.
Less favorable to the new zone having a talent tree.
Unbelievable. Another borrowed power system! You are just taking the piss at this point.
That discord thing sounds good and all until JohnboyXL in your discord starts cursing and gets banned in-game for what they said on discord.
Trend-chasing, a borrowed power system, previous expansion content and guild application systems STILL BROKEN, and DISCORD?!
This week alone is making me question my subscription. Feels like Blizzard’s testing the water to see just how much of its playerbase has the attention-span of a Tiktok scroller and the vibe-checker of a zealot. “Don’t think, just consume. We’re keeping our Chinese market in mind.”
I struggle to take a major content patch seriously when one of the selling features is ‘cursed fishing’. Is there that little left in the tank?
instanced world bosses is actually a great idea. it solves the “looting takes 10 seconds in the entire zone because three raid groups 3000 yards away are fighting the world boss” problem.
and the audacity to advertise their summer sale 5 minutes after posting the patch information. I’m kinda over this
no, it isn’t. It just makes world bosses further gated the same way raids are and the same way m+ is. “you’re not a meta class, you’re not getting in”.
Maybe for the mythic variant, the normal variant will be ‘queue and go’.
