Why did you nerf punch cards?!

And we can craft 440 armor now as well.

The trinket nerf was a jerk move.

i almost liked this post because the first half I agree with, but that’s a really crazy tinfoil hat theory at the end.

Link please.

Fairly certain that was just sarcasm.

Lets be honest. Anyone who thought they would get a normal raid ilvl weapon for an intro quest two weeks before the raid is even released need to check their expectations. The game is expected to change between ptr and live.

Haha its ilevel 400. My haste on the card is now 40. Instead of 230 or whatever it was.

Time to vendor it !

Seriously, do these devs have any clue what stat weights are?

Thought it was for raiding guilds personally.

I want to know how something that has literally half the stats on it than it did yesterday have the same item level???

You’d think the 3-4 months of PTR testing we had would’ve been long enough for them to figure the stats on punchcards were too high.

Guess not.

Thanks for nerfing items out from under us after we’ve upgraded them and cast aside old items in their favor, Blizz.

“F___ it, we’ll do it LIVE!” seems to be the approach these days.

All my characters require 2 weapons. 1 only is just a minor upgrade. And you’re talking about Normal’s base item level before Warforging or Titanforging. They could have made it 400 instead of 370. 370 isn’t worth doing the introductory crap on an undergeared alt versus RNG once every 3 weeks Darkshore or getting a lucky forging on a 365 base WQ reward.

I’m raging to hard right now. I used my materials to craft multiple cards so I could get one that’s good for my demon hunter. Went from 296 vers to 168. What a brutal nerf and not a single hotfix note.

Irrelevant really. The point is, it was never going to be 415, and it isn’t.

PTR is for the World First crowd to get their strategies down and their 3rd party website data ready as well as to generate PR buzz via internet celebs on Twitch and Youtube.

Nah, the point is it could have been a slightly useful reward instead of vendor trash for the vast majority of players and their current alts.

PTR is just for stress testing. Anything coming from the mouths/fingers of the players is 100% ignored. Thus, no mention of it at all.
