What do you think of the new patch? If you haven’t seen anything, look it up on Wowhead or YouTube to get a look at it. What would you like to see in the patch and what are you excited about?
I am personally happy that the zone will be seamless with the isles and that you can enter it without a loading screen. Doesn’t sound very important but it makes me excited to step in for the first time. I am also interested to see what the mega-dungeon will be (but that won’t come until 10.1.5).
Not much to go on yet, and everything is subject to change. I’ll be in a better place to comment when the Public Test Realm is up.
I think they need to not have 3-4 dungeons with 40minute+ timers. They need to rework some of these to be reasonable, because right now it’s looking like very long timers.
Also, if they are going to ditch seasonal affixes and rework the row 7 affixes, they need to make some of them positive/player-benefit. As it stands, the only kiss/curse affix is the seasonal, so we’ll be returning to 100% negative affixes if they continue on the same path.
Probably taking a break for 10.1 if they don’t rebalance brackenhide to be less miserable, which they wont do. Will be my first season off since 9.0.2. Been back on my Albion Online dailies just lately in preparation.
Like seriously, how are we supposed to play brackenhide with bursting? The dungeon pumps 20 stacks of dispellables per GCD if the totems don’t die in 0.01 second. It makes me angry thinking about this dungeon being an M+. It’s just not playable. I play hpriest with every dispel and dispel buff possible and I hard focus the dispellable spammers with my holy fire machine gun and every offensive spell available to priest and skull them and have most of the DPS helping and I’m still having to use every single dispel on CD and OOM myself spike healing the ones I don’t have dispels for. There’s going to be a mass exodus of druid mains in S2.
We’ve had an hour of vague ideas.
Why don’t we wait until we have something concrete to go off of?
Well there’s a new dragon riding mount and flying automatically in new zone so that’s a plus
only focusing on m+ cause thats really the only good content this game offers, i’m not really sure how i feel. seasonal affixes were an awesome idea - the problem coming from implementation. we’ve had some good ones and some god awful ones (infested, beguiling (holy crap beguiling was terrible) prideful, thundering) but then some like awakened which made the game so much more fun.
I really hope they don’t just look at +7 affixes and instead look at affixes a whole. They need to go. Especially tyrannical.
Vortex pinnacle wouldn’t have been a dungeon I would have picked, but it’s definitely a pick and Im not sure how i feel about it. And I hope they just remove the whole “MY FATHERS ANCIENT LAAAAIR” line from nelth’s lair because i still have nightmares about that line; for some reason it just annoys me.
I imagine that last boss will kill a lot of people initially who don’t know the mechanic of standing in the triangle
reserving judgement until we get the PTR.
Same stuff, different coat of paint. Still probably leaving very soon unless they announce a Tank spec for Shamans. That’s probably the only thing that will keep me here at this point.
Unless they give me regular flying… not much.
Why Underrot? I hate Underrot.
Also, if they choose M+ dungeons thematically, what was the significance behind Court of Stars for the current M+ cycle? Leylines or something?
Not that interesting to be honest.
More of the same for a major patch and the bland track of Dragonflight.
This was all revealed in an interview yesterday, but announced today? Seems odd.
There is commentary from the devs specifically about Brackenhide and removing abilities. Same for a few others.
I’m not real sure why this would be a problem, tbh. We’re the ones playing the dungeon, we shouldn’t let an affix do all the heavy lifting.
Yup, can’t say I want to keep investing time in a game with devs that are phoning it in at this point and have made the most bland expansion I’ve played [since legion].
checks news
I feel like I’m missing something here?
(I gather that there’s a sudden flood of 10.1 videos on youtube from every content creator under the sun that the official website forgot to post something they were supposed to before an embargo expired?)
Just reading over it all, I love to explore so of course a new zone is always a win for me.
I’ll check out the Shadow Priest rework to see what they do with it.
Being able to keep upgrading our crafted gear is a big plus for me.
The dungeons are zzzzz for me, I’m an explorer, not a grinder so it’s “meh”.
A new raid is a good thing, I’ll run it a few times to see it, if it’s fun I’ll do it weekly.
Everything else is of no interest to me.
