Blizzard killing M+ community in 8.2

As if the new S3 affix wasn’t bad enough.

Blizzard is now making our favoraite dungeons even harder.

Freehold toner reduced by 3 mins

Told Dagor canons can only shoot 5 times each. (Has a energy bar of hundred, each shot costs 20)

Atal dazar priestess boss all abilities damage increased by 600%

Blizzard you are soooo out of touch with your player base.

When you make something fun you destroy it right away.

Stop designing these dungeons for e sports MDI players only.

Also you have the audacity to awknowledge that some of the affix combos are too punishing and you will remove those combos in 9.0 … BUT you have the time and priority to NERF Tol Dagor canons and reduce timer in FH???

You haven’t had the time to fix the last boss in Tol Dagor doing doubles ( does air circles twice in row with out using dead eye ). BUT you have the time and priority to nerf the CANONS?

This is a huge slap in the face of your player base.

If these changes go live and the current s3 seasonal affix goes live as is. Even less people will push M+

Get a clue blizzard. you dont nerf soemthing that people ENJOY and WANT to run in order to force people to run other dungeons… You need to make other dungeons just as fun instead. Taking away stuff ppl like wont make people run other dungeons instead. it will make them just quit.

Looks like I’m going back to being a super casual and not running any M+. Oh well.

I did not run any M+ at all. I hated D3 for similar thing.

Just add another dungeon like seat so we can just end it all.

A good chunk of this game has diablo taint on it. Try to keep the ideals separate. I’m not surprised there isn’t a horadric cube yet

I don’t like how the keep changing dungeons now. I feel like they should leave them alone. I mean sure up to a month after the expansion is live if something is wrong thats fine. They don’t need to boost the difficulty and change boss encounters around every patch though. I hated that in legion and don’t like it now.

Freehold, TD, and AD were too easy. Face it. Even on horrible affixes they were push keys. No other dungeon is like that.

There’s only 1 difficult boss in AD and that’s Vol’kaal. The others are trivial.

Indeed. The last boss can get hairy when the spiders start getting out of control, but trash pack before the priestess is far more dangerous than the boss herself.

Who are these players you’re talking about, OP? All your other threads claim WoW is dead, now all of a sudden there are masses of players that Blizzard, for whatever reason, doesn’t want them to run content.

What’s wrong with easy dungeons ? Legion’s Maw dungeon was the literal best.

Hmm,op,isn’t that what people wanted harder content ,better challenges better loot than raids? And yet you don’t want them now?

I’d gladly sacrifice all the goblins in Kezan for a Kanai’s Cube.

Five shots per cannon is more than enough to do whatever ridiculous thing people want to do with them. You just can’t spray shots wildly, that’s all. You have to consider how you’re going to use them ahead of time, you know, like Mythic+ is supposed to be about.

Blizzard seems to only care about the MDI. Main reason I think mythic+ isn’t as fun this expo. They designed them for the MDI rather then fun first. With current class design its hard to make anything fun though so perhaps its just that.

Blizz have even said season 2 was to easy…Doesn’t matter that it was FUN. It was far more fun it was then the terrible G’huun affix. Season 3s affix looks like its going back to boring slow down the run mobs similar to G’huun thankfully they do more then just heal mobs around them.

Imagine not 2 chesting a freehold key.

Also if you don’t understand a lot of TD route do 60% of the trash with the cannons idk what to tell you. The only trash you actually killed was the pack before first boss and anything in the room of Jes. Every other trash pack was killed with cannon.

Also, the priestess buff is accompanied by trash nerfs probably leading to a break even point. That boss needed buffed. Rdruid can straight up sit in cat form for like 95% of the fight.

The only thing the cannon nerf will allow me to do is “accidentally” one shot the competitive DPS in my party 5 times per cannon. On a serious note, all the changes made are fair and make perfect sense. I used to spam a bunch of m+ so I know these changes were needed. This tells me Blizzard likes to nerf fun, but at least plays the game enough to know what changes are needed.

One thing to keep in mind is Blizzard wants players acquiring essences, and unlocking minor essence slots on their necks. And they’ll tune content according to that ultimate goal.

It’s cool. I’ve given up on this expansion. Most of my friends have peaced-out so Blizzard has done their job if they wanted to rush folks out the door. Heck most of the people I know left Overwatch too so i don’t get what their goals as a game maker are.
