Absorbs to No Longer Prevent Daze (EDIT: APPARENTLY A BUG)

[Hotauri-sargeras]

Considering that the developers have access to the metrics, and you don’t. I would think they know better.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Blizzard can claim that Pathfinder is a success while also claiming that players are more that happy to do Pathfinder to get access to flying.

They can claim this because you have to actively avoid most world content to not hit the Pathfinder requirements.

They can claim this because players have a catch-22 of: either don’t do Pathfinder and don’t fly or do Pathfinder even if you don’t like parts or all of it just to be able to fly.

My being 90% done with Pathfinder on my main characters has exactly zero to do with actually liking Pathfinder or finding it fun and everything to do with gear and gold reward WQ and Emissaries.

Oh don’t worry, that’s next.

If they nerf the absorb then just about anything would cause dazing,a shout,object and effect ground or air can cause dazing.

A blade of grass within 5 yards…

blinks nowhere yet again

I’m sure we’ll get some lame “but it feels so immersive” response from a CM that doesn’t address how players actually play the game.

2021: Patch 9.1.5 - Gearing Treadmill Upgrade! Every Tuesday, your oldest equipped items will be demoted 5 ilevels to encourage you to keep farming new gear. Keep it fresh!

Patch 9.1.6 - Due to the volume of complaints, The Gearing Treadmill now has nails and bits of broken glass glued onto it for extra player immersion.

What was so broken about it that it was perfectly fine gameplay for over a decade?

Fun and usefulness detected…Blizz must remove!!
Seriously, this is only the first step in removing anything that resembles something mount equipment provides. Personally I bet 100K gold that Path of Frost and Shammy WW go away in the next expac.

This seems like the portals all over again lol

[Kinesthesia-malfurion]

Who in the blizzard team keeps coming out with these dumb ideas. After all of the things the players ask and beg for and we get THIS!?

I’ve played a couple games like that. Each time you repaired the max durability could drop… eventually you’re sitting on a choice: Replace the item, buy the in-game shop durability restore item, or it breaks permanently and you’re screwed.

As Long as Ion is at the helm this game will be in Blizzards best interest ( business model ), not the player. Game hasn’t been in players best interest since WOLK. And look at the decline of subs since. WHEN will Blizzard wake up???

[Pyromor-shandris (Pyromor)]

Oh,no can’t have that they wouldn’t get their pvp honor kills.

The change is just nonsensical. Absorbs should absorb damage which means no dazed mechanic should be applied. It makes no sense in an RPG sense.

This seems like the portals all over again lol

The portal thing also didn’t make sense in an RPG sense. I could get removing them from other areas, but Dalaran? That is the literal city of mages. They would have portals accessible and maintained.

Removing RPG flavors is just lame imo.

Honestly, who at Blizzard HQ actually thought up mount equipment? It wouldn’t have been a bad idea, if it didn’t mean you nerf several other things to make the system actually appealing…

Well at least now I know another worthless armor ring. Can we at least get something decent added to it now?

[Autai-moon-guard (Autai)]

It’s kind of killing the hype for the equipment. All it does is make me think that any class perk/flavor is going to be removed on a dime if something gets added.

The man seems to be at war against RPG features.

What hype? The system is nothing but a series of nerfs to existing mounts or systems just so they can repackage it and try to pass it off as a new feature.

[Karmo-sargeras]

I am just in complete awwhhh when it comes to the content they decide to progress and put work into. So many things are shown to be effective and meaningful to the community and instead we get islands, warfronts, and removed content.

[Chriarcy-nesingwary (Chriarcy)]

Once flying is unlocked this won’t matter as much, but still pretty annoying.

yes it will with 8.2.5 with the next zone having no flying? What about 9.0? This is huge mistake on Blizzards part. I hope they revert this.

I was actually excited to see what it could potentially evolve into, but I’m getting less and less enthused as I’m seeing classes and other mounts get nerfed.

[Pyromor-shandris (Pyromor)]

Really,actually it wasn’t Blizzard it was us in the forum that did thought up the idea just they went head strong into it.That’s not what we wanted in the first place though.

Not me but this is a fine example of why development teams shouldn’t listen to their player base. They tend to have the worst possible ideas for the game…
