Did bliz change the starting weapon in nazjatar ilvl?

Intro quest < mythic 0. Sorry.

What exactly does testing it at a higher ilvl do to help devs with the patch?

Why not test it at its expected ilvl and get expected results?

Its for fresh 120s.

Thats it.

People wanting/expecting a mythic raid quality item are insane. It would obsolete normal EP wep drops for everyone.

IF, and big if for me, RNGebus were to let a weapon drop for you in normal raid.

It’s not a mythic raid quality item at 415. It’s Normal. Please keep up with the content.

Same as any other raid.

Bosses have loot tables and you play the RNG game against them.

Being in a consistent group maximizes your chances with loot sharing (even with its dumb restrictions).

So EP is out today?

Aotc and CE went away today?

O wait thats 2 weeks from now.

Also, why should the basic intro quest give out a guaranteed new normal raid wep??

is it really fair to call people insane for expecting it when blizzard had the reward up for the entirety of the ptr?

People can character copy to test higher ilvl gear. If they weren’t going to give a 415 weapon on live, then they absolutely needed players with lower ilvls to test and make sure the new zones weren’t going to be overtuned for returning players. The PTR rewards falsely skewed their testing results.

Yes, because people havent learned its a test realm.

Just like 3 items in the weekly chest.

And millions of other times.

370 is not worth the time playing.

Why should an alt or casual be gifted a mythic weapon?

CITATION NEEDED

(there are a LOT of things that happen on the PTR that never make it to live, just so you know)

I do agree that a 370 is far too low level for most of the active player base but you need to keep in mind that the emissary rewards are based upon a players ilvl. Not everyone had access to that 395 ilvl weapon cache.

But 370 is way too low, you get better from doing season 2 LFR raid content… I would say that is probably less challenging then the introduction quest :slight_smile:

If it isn’t removed from the ptr (to my knowledge it wasn’t) and no blue said anything about it being changed then of course on patch day people are going to say “hey, what happened to __?”

That’s just to be expected.

415-370 is nerfed into dust. Put another way, I would be interested in playing if the weapon was 415. I have no interest in a 370 weapon and will only do the quest because I have too, which is becoming this game more and more.

They should have left it at 415. Wouldn’t have hurt anything at all.

Yes, it’s just not available to run. Today launched 8.2 Rise of Azshara patch. All previous content is officially old content. The new raid will be available in what 2 weeks? 1 week? The current new mega dungeon drops 400+ gear. The gear updates for Mythic+ are active today.

Mythic what? This is a new raid tier.

Do we get a new TRANSMOG out of it at least?

Before I sell it to the vendor?
