With scheduled weekly maintenance (tomorrow, October 29 in this region), we will update the Challenger’s Peril affix.
Challenger’s Peril now adds an additional 90 seconds to the timer of Mythic Keystones in addition to the 15 second death penalty.
We wish for Challenger’s Peril to emphasize precise play and place a greater risk on players’ decisions as they progress through higher Keystone levels. With this goal in mind, we want to give players a bit more breathing room for these decisions by adding a bonus to Challenger’s Peril, while maintaining the penalty aspect of the affix.
Finally - I really really hate the challenger’s peril. It broke keys way too much in a way that it was just not fun anymore. Thanks for acknowledging just how punitive this was.
Thats a bit much, and definitely did not be done. Why even have challengers peril if youre just going to negate it entirely by making a bad add pull or boss pull free?
This is a step in the right direction, but I still feel that Challenger’s Peril should be removed entirely, or pushed into the key brackets of 12+ if the goal is to emphasize precise game play.
It’s an MDI thing, so keep it in the key ranges for the people who actually care about MDI crap.
I’m not the only one who read it like they were adding 90 seconds of penalty to each death to the peril penalty at first right? obviously not the case but reading that had me doing a double take irl
