More borrowed power that will negatively affect the game instead of just doing a tuning pass yay

I’m going to need more than a shovel to dig deep enough to determine exactly how “under” the whelming is on this. “here’s some passive random healing/damage and some ‘pick-a-stat’ boosts”.

This could have easily been done as:

  • a new gem socket with fancy gems we earn
  • A new enchant with fancy enchants we earn
  • A new “pick-a-slot” item with fancy enchants we earn
  • any combination of the above

And we picked the most meh option, some buttons on a screen that we pick.

Not even sure why this exists.

Yay. Something new to check out. I think some stuff being ‘borrowed power’ is fine. That way classes don’t become bloated. It’s nice to just get a little new power for a while and ditch it later.

Don’t forget the LOA benefits in the troll zone. That also work like this.

You’re gonna have this for the next year+. Just wish they’d balance tanks already, like they said they would weeks ago

I had completely forgotten them, I’ve ignored those entirely too.

Also stopped doing Abundance after two weeks of that trash.

I’m surprised they didn’t attach a gold price for each node.

Gosh another time gated borrowed power item. We aren’t scraping the bottom of the creativity barrel at all around here. Nope, not at all. :neutral_face:

Can we take a step back and name things in a less dumb way, please.

i’m just gonna assume that each ‘choice’ will take 2 weeks each to unlock then vendors won’t be available for another month after that

So we are speedrunning straight to corruption? I am glad Midnight is BFA 2.0.

Please STOP adding these silly borrowed power things that feel bad and are timegated.

This stuff sucks man

Also no, we are JUST going to be using the ones you dont undertune - or the ones you do overtune. Which will probably be the same for most roles/specs.

Like please stop with this stuff

Probably on paper but some classes benefit much more from borrowed power than others

I guess my question is, how does this really benefit us over normal class balancing? This system offers only basic things when I look at it. Passive healing, an absorb shield if you take more than 10% your health in damage every 30 seconds.. ?

Also will this system affect us even within instances? Or only outside? Or in a specific zone?

Gotta be honest with ya chief, you made a bad call.

Meaning, this isn’t really thrilling or engaging… It’s yet another borrowed power system that always feels kinda meh at best. What was the point of adding this???

I forget to do the quest for this most weeks.

And I completely forgot about this one.

Oh, well. Guess neither have been all that important.
