This game is exhausting.

They ONLY guess values. Math is hard for Blizzard employees.

Blizzard was working too much on WC3 Reforged rather than making sure Nzoth, corruption and current raid trinkets were balanced and ready for release…smile
We shouldn’t be doing balance passes on gear a month into a patch. There are a few broken corruption effects [why are we leaving infinite stars alone btw?], but they should have been fixed within a week, if not a hotfix before that.
How did some of these even go live as they are?

Because the Blizz QA and balance team are a bunch of lazy morons
They were working on WC3? I thought they just picked it out of the dumpster before garbage day and re-released it?

I’d be surprised if they would even spend the money to rent a dumpster…they have shareholder dividends to worry about!

Stars, which is only arguably OP in a fight where you can tunnel a single target long enough to build stacks, already got smacked once with the nerf bat.
We have been reading your thoughts on the Corruption changes and have decided to hold them for regional restarts next week. We understand the impact they will make on your gear selection and agree that it makes more sense to do it at the start of a week.
Also during regional restarts, we plan to make some tuning changes to Mythic N’Zoth to better align the encounter with the changes that are being made to players’ Corrupted items.
Thank you all for your feedback on this.

Well hopefully this gives you guys enough time to look through more data and adjust some of the hotfixes you’re proposing on server restart.

Probably gonna catch grief for saying it, but after seeing all the corruption rubber-banding and just not appreciating it very much (feels very uninspired if you don’t main a dps), I refunded my Shadowlands pre-order. Lately the game feels more like I’m in a bad casino.

Awesome first step and great to see a response. Any chance you could refund the players that cleansed an item? that would make this situation great overall

Hi! Can we also have our azerite trait reforge reset with these changes? I’m up to 20k testing between corruption based traits and regular + prot on my warrior.

Except with legiondaries at least there was a goal line in sight. You would EVENTUALLY get the legendary you wanted.
Now corruption is as make or break as the right legendaries only you might literally NEVER get it.

It is hard when player skill can make up for like 40% variance in damage. A fight like Ashvane was balanced and could easily have been solved by “git gud” instead of being nerfed like 4 times.
Doing it on a tuesday or not super does not matter.
I mean that just sounds like a bad idea in general
Didn’t know that, but, y’know, seeing how it was broken…Maybe it should?
Yeah, the EV change needs to be focused on tanks. 50% nerf for every spec is a bit much, especially at it’s corruption cost.
Maybe 50% for tanks, and 25% for everyone else?
