Hotfix July 14 -- Horrific Visions

There comes a point when you can’t lower the bar any further.

…Blizz cmere lemme hug you.

I know a second or two doesn’t sound impressive but sometimes those seconds matter in visions.

Well they were fun for like, the first couple go arounds and got boring. Then doing 5 mask the first time wasn’t that bad, but the time in-between that and after doing the first 2-3 5 masks were incredibly boring and remain incredibly boring. Doing it on alts too is excruciatingly painful and while they aren’t difficult, I often rush as fast as I can because I just hate doing them now. It’s just so unenjoyable to level up a cloak on multiple toons every week. Like I will carry a friend through just for the added company at this point. I feel like I can justify doing a 5 mask more helping someone out through the content and carrying them because I’m not just doing it for me anymore, lol. It just sucks.

I stalled on doing mine cause they weren’t fun, and then stopped entirely once I got red bug a month after getting the title.

Like I could just not be bothered doing them. 4 reasons for me to do them: sockets, echoes, mail muncher, and the SW gnome toy. Just been stockpiling keys doing 8.3 content for rank 4s. Up to 33 keys now.

Yeah i find visions fun as a concept, but i haven’t been doing them for 6 months. Feels like they would had needed a lot more variety to them. Maybe boss rotations, more maps etc.

Only a few things are guaranteed in life. Death, taxes, and the existence of a wall or floor based AoE being present at the only exit of split personality.

I just forced myself to get the last whatever for the 100k mount.

I have 360k to buy more vessels and want sockets, but just can’t run that crap anymore.

In fact, Saturday night a friend IM me in game and asked if I could run his priest through just 2 of the 4 areas. I was like, let me run you through tomorrow…I’ve been avoiding him ever since because I hate vision crap so much.

Blizz has me rethinking an Xbox.

Yeah I totally get the feeling. Sockets are nice, but a single socket versus my time and sanity doesn’t really feel worth it. Takes like 5 or more runs to get a socket I think so I just can’t be bothered iwth it. Sometimes if I wake up on the weekend with nothing going on I may knock out two and it just feels like such a CHORE YES A CHORE to do. Chores aren’t fun.

Too little too late. Too many times we’ve been told, “no, you’re not getting anything”, only after a month’s delay (and loss of time) it happens. I gave up on 8.3 a month ago, and there’s zero to be gained at this point by going back to it.

Come on man, dont spoil their next hotfix

Probably. Corruption stops working in 9.0, which means leveling up the cloak is pointless in 9.0, so what would be the point of visions?

I expect no one to complain visions is hard, this is is coming from someone who earned Mad World achievement

A second’s pretty big when you consider the fact that the Haunting Shadows circle on the ground overlapped with Split Personality a lot and that nerf of one second will result in people being able to escape Split Personality and Haunting Shadows provided they respond quickly enough.

That’s pretty big. Not to mention even if you do get thrown into the Split Personality clone? The debuff of being disoriented won’t be as bad.

People have been complaining about that combination of affixes for so long, these nerfs are aimed at those people.

How very convenient of them to decide on this hotfix right at the end of the expac. This seems like a foreshadowing of sorts that certain visions content will be removed once prepatch hits.

Blizz, I’m still waiting on that liveblog that will tell the playerbase what stays and what doesn’t, by the way. Chop chop.

I’d only want the fire hop to be less obnoxious/annoying at this point, but these other changes are good too.

if that was actually the case, it still doesnt explain why mementos are still heavily gated at this point people should just fly through the research.

That disorient effect reduction is HUGE. You can lose a lot of sanity walking around in puddles for 4 seconds.

I actually really like them.

It is not helpful being thrown into a ravine, behind boxes that I can’t leap out of, or into another pack of mobs.

If the game actually displayed when it was going to throw me into the Nether, I would be okay with it, because I could at least aim. But it doesn’t. The debuff will stay on you for several seconds and not activate. It only activates once your guard is down.

Nothing in World of Warcraft has me seeing red more than Scorched Feet.

You laugh, but a whole second means quite a bit.
