GNOME CONFUSION!!!

Oh wait heroic dungeons only? I guess that’s fine. Probably for all the cheese in mage tower and whatnot. But it’s a dumb solution, all they need to do is give people stat templates in Mage Tower.

they both used to be +5/+6. magetower brought this loose end (one of SO many) to their attention. patch notes say they’re fixing them. fine. but THIS is the fix? inept.

I find it odd that they’re nerfing things so harshly for mage tower. I dont think I could have cleared the bear challenge without the damage from the weightstone and thats apparently been nerfed.

It’s amusing that the MT release has shown us just how much they neglected the scaling system while saying “working as intended” for the past who knows how long, along with the fact they don’t even understand their own game (take the GDruid MT “fix”/‘we didn’t know this would be harder’ revert just done as an example).

Trying to walk some incredibly thin line.

I knew about the timeless tanzanite since probably the last time they did TBC timewalking (so the end of July I think) and I’m surprised they just recently found out that TBC heroic dungeon gems I guess didn’t get squished properly or w/e

It’s not shocking.

There dev team is incredibly inept and lazy.

They don’t test things, wait for players to find things and then nerf them.

I don’t understand why they would nerf the int gems so hard to +1… but leave the str gems on par with queen’s garnet, both being +4.

Considering they’re BC gems, I fully expect FUN DETECTED to nerf these during tonights hotfixes.

13

time to fix the bc gems!
control f “tanzanite”
oook. int you get a +1/1, agi you get a +2/2, aaaand str you get a +4/4.
done! scaling as intended.

Try looking at the Timeless Tanzanite from Mana-Tombs. That one gives +2 Intellect and +2 Stamina while the one from Black Morass is only +1/+1. Two different versions now.

I myself worked hard to obtain these gems and i find that the nerf to the sovereign tanzanite now 4str 4stam is acceptable and fair but the nerf to timeless tanzanite now 1int 1stam is unfair and should be 4int 4stam or at least +4int. i Had enough Cata gems to fill the 35 socket gems i farmed, But sold them and now there twice the cost for me to replace them is truly unfair gameplay.

I love how out of touch the devs are.

People complain the mage tower is way too hard?

Oh, we’ll fix that, by nerfing the things that people are using the make them slightly less than impossible.

Maybe that was the intent all along, to eliminate timewalking gear bit by bit until nobody is having fun either leveling or in timewalking. Because there are still too many people having fun the wrong way and this needs to be fixed once and for all.

Well even if they change the gem stats to +4 int/str and +4 stam it gets plp out there farming older content and using the older Dungeons that no one visits anymore, would think it is a good thing ???

A good thing to make people refarm the stuff they earned before? Or a good thing to make people buy tokens to cover the cost of repurchasing things that have been nerfed?

someone’s telling me the 1/1s arent even giving the 1/1 they say they would and are effectively 0/0s
