Dragonsoul Gem Adjustments Incoming - week of March 31

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion
1

With scheduled weekly maintenance next week, we will make a few changes to the acquisition rate of epic gems in Dragonsoul.

  • Madness of Deathwing will now drop two Essence of Corrupted Deathwing on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
  • Spine of Deathwing will now drop an Essence of Corrupted Deathwing.
  • Crystalline Geodes will now have a higher chance to award an epic gem.
  • Elementium-Coated Geodes can now drop Elven Peridot, Deepholm Iolite, and Lightstones.
    • Queen’s Garnet has had its chance to drop increased, ensuring that it is the most plentiful, with all others having an even distribution.

We will continue monitoring acquisition rates and will make further adjustments if needed.

Can we please get written confirmation that this is not an April Fool’s joke

Has anyone made a thread on the Customer Support forum? It probably won’t do any good, but at least there a Blue might see it and pass it along to the devs.

What about LFR?

you guys are sooo deaftoned…its unreal. all the buggs and guild perks missing and other internal issues. and you guys think adding extra Brez’s and an extra 10% drop on epic gems is what our community wants??? needs??? honestly this is the worst iv ever seen blizzard and there devs. you should all be ashamed of yourselves. fixx the current issues with cata before adding a bunch of stuff that prolly wont even work right that no one asked for

Its a good change, unfortunately I already put like 100k worth of gems in my gear and all that value I could’ve had is now diminished because of this. Little unfortunate :sleepy:

Exactly this, I’m happy about the change personally, but this late into it? (rather it be changed late than never), but it’s honestly just leading to lose all hope for mop, if they can’t even afford the manpower to fix a tier that had an entire PTR while 6 weeks into the phase, how are we supposed to believe they’ll actually fix LFR or any of the upcoming mop content.

  • zonoz orb being bugged to all hell (spawning on top of boss; getting stuck on the floor)
  • hagara has 2 debuffs (bubble debuff; frost puddle debuff) that can bug and become permanent and kill you
  • hagara can get duped
  • hagara gauntlet can lock you into normal mode
  • madness blood damage boosted by 30% if you play with 5% nerf enabled
  • people falling off the madness platforms instead of getting jumped between them and getting de-synced ingame, requiring a character unstuck and relogging
  • corruption tentacle and parasite can not spawn on madness
  • guild perks are entirely bugged out and people are having to leave their guilds and resetting their rep and join date
  • bloodlust not being applied if 2 people press it at the same time

Is this change going to delete more passive effects? Should I expect my rogue to no longer have talents and spells?

Really like the change but like it has been said it feels like the game has been unraveling itself during this patch with the guild perks bug and others.

What about it?

Fix the guild perks along with many other bugs… Also, why would we want the geode’s off of Madness to give green, yellow or blue gems when 95% of the sockets are red?

This was the cost of guild perks. They change anything and something breaks :disappointed:

Pandaria, not likely to show up in Cata at this point.

dont forget if you wipe on spine and someone brezzes you before the wipe and you accept it AFTER the wipe while being back on the boat, it will bring you back to spine and the encounter will start again, all the while your character is now a ghost to everyone and you’re basically in your own phase.

I have very little expectations for mop. Just remembering how cata launched was pathetic. I’m sure they’ll get raids ready enough to complete but won’t fix minor bugs, because it’s “good enough”. The blizzard quality standard is no longer a thing with this company. Bunch of interns working on classic.
