I have just read the proposed changes to Affixes in M+ in TWW.
On the face of it, I like the Affix changes Blizz are making in terms of the removal of Bolstering, Bursting, Sanguine etc. I like the consistency M+ will have week in week out, especially in high keys and that the tradional format of rotational affixes week to week will be on lower keys. Along with the changes made during the twilight of DF, these are massive and brave changes by Blizz, which I believe have and will pay off for a variety of reasons, but without digressing more from what the point of this post is.
With this in mind, and to be clear these ideas are for the lower key brackets ONLY, where rotational affixes will still be present. I would love to see affixes designed and introduced in specific weeks, that have mechanical AND visuals that fit to seasonal holidays in the calendar during like Winter Fest and Noble Garden. e.g. at Easter, egg/s spawn around the area and we have to click them and if one or more is missed, a debuff occurs where player damage is reduced that stacks based on how many are missed and at Christmas, Santa fly’s in and drops a ‘present’ which does AoE damage… there’s so much potential for creativity here.
I would love to hear of other people’s ideas where these type of ideas would enhance variety to Holiday’s in lower keys ONLY to potentially bring more people into M+ and add an extra layer of engagement in Holiday events.
