So after reading some post online and a few YouTube videos it seems time walking dungeons will take at learning twice as long as they are now, twinks will do less damage and the better gear you have the more damage you are going to take. Boss and mobs hp will be increased. The extra gear reward (bump to adventure and you get more time walking badge)
The extra reward rewards isn’t going to make up for extra time. It seems to get Alta gear up up now is better to do it devles, and using your main to buy rep gear.
No one ask for these changes. Most people who do time walking wants to get them done ASAP and actually is happy they got a twink fury warrior who can clear the dungeons in 10mins. Most people don’t want to spend more time in the dungeon.
This isn’t blizzard first time trying to make tw dungeons harder. The last few times they try it most people just don’t bother doing them so blizzard had to undo the changes they did.
I’m a bit apprehensive about this upcoming patch and the TW changes. We all know that sometimes Blizzard uses a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel to fix things.
I have thousands of TW badges saved up, I finally looted the Infinite Timereaver, and the only alts I have left to level will be done in Legion Remix.
Tbf, I hope we’re both completely wrong and nothing much changes after this patch goes live buuuuuut if we’re not, I hope the people that whined non stop about the level 11 tanks get exactly what they asked for and 45 minute queue times
I got a few alts with 5k badges and only missing 1 to 2 of the new mounts they added recently to tw. Going to buy them when I can. I might still do them but only run one dungeon to get that 500 badge reward and leave it at that.
lol blizzard ships make tw as hard as a m 10 so people want tw dungeons to be a challenge got rage they wanted.
Ya’ know… These are just absolutely stupid changes.
Mental people crying the TW dungeons are easy and you can’t “do a rotation” are getting their wish, they just simply won’t be able to play them much if at all anymore because tanks are going to stop queueing for them.
Enjoy!
Enemy health increased in all Timewalking dungeons.
Boss health significantly increased in all Timewalking dungeons.
Adjusted difficulty scaling via the following changes:
Lower-geared players are now slightly more damage-resistant.
Incoming damage should be more noticeable against geared players.
Fixed an issue where item level scaling did not account for enchantments, gems, and other power sources.
My take on all this, the mobs will be tougher, the bosses will be a fair bit tougher, your alts and lower level toons will be a little more resistant to damage while your level 80s will notice the hits a bit more. In other words, it sounds a lot like a typical Heroic dungeon; not all that difficult but you need to at least stay awake.
I wish I can finally loot Timereaver. I currently have 110k badges across my toons with all the TWing vendor mounts purchased except for the two we’re getting next week from the BfA Timewalking vendor. I too hope it’s not a real slog now, but don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference to me as Im likely never getting it from TWing anyways. I feel the DoI dungeon will be my best shot at it.
(Nearly 5k dungeon kills, 70 raid boxes, and 15 DoI kills really drains me)
Aye, the mount arrived in patch 6.2.3, November 2015. I think I got mine a couple of years later just doing one of the TW dungeons. Its all purely luck which this game excels at. I can get it and the Headless Horseman mount in a couple of appearances, have been trying every year since Wrath for the Heartbreaker without a whisper.
Were TW dungeons actually fun when everything just melted? They sure as hell weren’t to me. Anything that makes them even a bit more difficult is good news.
Hell, Blizz should just make all TW dungeons as hard as Pre-Nerf Cata Heroics were.
TWing dungeons are supposed to be easy. When you have a fresh lvl 11 toon straight out of character creation queuing up for them they can’t be super hard. TWing is mainly lvling content that drops blue lvl gear after all. Now I’ll admit they may need a little adjusting atm so a lvl 11 twink can’t just go in and nuke everything in sight in 3 seconds. Now if you want your mega hard TWing dungeon content, then the rewards need to be massively increased. Not many people would do it though as it’d lose its main appeal.
will be interesting to see how the ques become next week after the change, and or how many people do them after they do the 5 for the week for 5 weeks for the new dragon mount. vs how many people use to que and do them before the new change coming
