Embers of Fyr'alath Empowered - February 20

The person I was responding to specifically mentioned the DoT.

Like why not put it before the reset??? a lot of ppl already killed it this week thats kind of a dick move blizz and im saying this with no horse in this race my 455 alt got it from LFR two weeks ago so i just geared that guy to 487, on that topic confirmed like we all knew BLP did almost nothing was just a placebo and also who wrote this?? “demonstrating a display of excellence in the most challenging content” LMAO im sure MY ALT that got it did that while dead on the floor on LFR fyrakk while i went to get a extra soda, having the legendary has nothing to do with doing challenging content its just how lucky you are, terrible system blizz

I completed 2 out of 24 last night before the hot fix (sucks), and I’ve now done my first post hot fix. Guess what didn’t drop. :frowning:

It’s another instance of “looks good on paper.” They design it, implement it, but since they don’t play their own game they only have feedback to rely on.

So they come here and go on about their design choices, not realizing in-game is completely different.

It’s such a sad place to be man, lol. I mean the ONLY pro, and I mean the only, if IDGAF about parsing at all on reclear cuz it’s impossible so the vibe is a bit more chill on my end…but I’d like to push higher keys again and parse, so yeah.

That is crazy that you guys still didnt get it even after this hotfix. I am at 14 HC kills, and I am salty because this hotfix wasnt up at reset…0 drops when I did it first thing on reset for my group.

I would actually have so much respect for blizz if they went “we screwed up man, it’s now avail as a quest if you’ve achieved X”; X can be as simple as 10 heroics or 1 CE kill, w/e they decide, but something.

We all know they won’t though :stuck_out_tongue:

Too little too late. I’ve killed heroic 14 times and no leggo while I watch other people join groups that got it from LFR. I’ve never called it quits/came back in my 10 years of playing WoW… But this is the final straw. First you shove a pay to win mobile games down our throats via a quest/mailbox item that kept repopulating itself daily for months… Now you “empower” the embers but I still have no idea what that means… Could mean that the embers increased my chances by .01% to .02% or 5% to 10%… I have no idea and I’m resentful that I cared in the first place. Crappy design. I’m cancelling my account and I hope other players follow suit.

Totally agree. “After 12 hc kills, here is the quest”.

Finished M Fyrakk last last night after a quick heroic kill, 2 greater embers thanks…

Too little too late. I’m sure it will feel great getting the axe a week before S4 to do trivial content reclear

Well, you’re comparing a young playerbase compared to an old one after 20 years of this game, I’m considering to quit over the love rocket grind and other rewards that involve massive time sinks without proper implementations. I can see some players quitting due to legendary implementation and its impact on their meta gaming.

Damm man i feel for you, blizzard doesnt learn they did the same thing with legion legendaries made the vendor only because of massive outcry and like at the last stretch of the expansion, ppl had so little time to have fun with them

Tell us the Bad Luck Protection was bugged without telling us the Bad Luck Protection was bugged…

In all seriousness I’m glad this change occurred and now I feel motivated to raid on my DK again after giving up last week.

huh? how did you get that?

For all we know the bad luck protection items could’ve been duds. Like, I just killed this guy three times with 40-50+ eligible players and didn’t see a single axe, somehow.

Because you know blizz isnt the best with +/- % numbers, it only happened twice that they made for example the shaman defensive not decrease damage taken but increase it, also happened that time in shadowlands where the pelagos final trait made you take extra 6% damage instead of reducing it that one was up there for like 2 months before they fixed it lol

That was hilarious, yeah. Imagine going through and rechecking all similar things, lmao. :dracthyr_crylaugh:

He’s also not considering the game has evolved; back then we barely cared about DPS meters, the game wasn’t tuned for it, and leggos were SO rare there would be like 2 on your server so it was barely game changing…now the game is much more tuning based, we min/max appropriately, mechanics and DPS checks are tighter, and M+ exists, and because of the POTENTIAL availability of these designed leggos the classes are tuned to have it, meaning we’re at a serious detriment without it whereas in TBC, not having glaives wouldn’t break your class from performing.
