Over the past several days, we’ve heard player reports of much variance in Brann’s performance and contribution in Delves, and we’ve investigated anomalous data along those lines. We recently identified a serious bug that could, under specific circumstances, cause Brann to inherit all the health and damage bonuses meant for enemies in a given difficulty tier. When this bug took effect, the higher the tier of Delve you were running, the stronger Brann would get.
We’ve just deployed a hotfix that will correct this bug. There should now be a consistent baseline of power for Brann, which will increase with your own gear and with his level.
Some specs, whose gameplay tended towards hanging back and letting Brann take the lead, were much more likely to trigger the bug than others, so for those players we understand that this could make Brann feel significantly weaker than he has been, especially in the highest tier delves.
We’ve also seen feedback that “unbugged”, Brann felt much less impactful than we’d hoped. Therefore, along with the bugfix, we’ve hotfixed Brann to increase his damage and healing by 125% across all tiers.
We will continue to monitor feedback and results, and we will make further adjustments as needed.
Can you make his voice lines less repetitive? Please? At least give a cooldown for how many times he can say the same line at once. Or give us a Mute Brann Toy like you did with the Niffin Sniffin Toy.
I don’t know what you are scared of having missed out on that you feel everyone needs to be punished when they haven’t done anything wrong.
Delves have been through non stop changes where they have been trying to balance, now this bug is discovered after things were still inconsistent.
People would have done their weekly 8s regardless (either solo or in groups). There is nothing that they need to have taken away. I do not understand this attitude at all.
nobody exploited anything
nobody had a clue how a ‘regular’ bran should perform
obviously not even blizzard
the amount of bugs and broken stuff in this game surpassed the limits
yesterday i hated every second doing pvp on my rogue
constantly losing stealth, crackshot failing to trigger
i ended up logging off
…wait, what! We could have let him lead! - I never gave him the opportunity - took all Branns skills to throw the health potions my way instead of everywhere else! Good job as a hunter I never stay still so could try get them before they disappeared.
Why would anyone now take the effort of trying to complete or even start the Delves achievement questline knowing there are peeps around that did it by afk’ing?
I knew something had changed, gone from having a pretty rough time on Resto Druid Tier 8, but now even just the trash is impossible. I wipe 5 times on the first two packs of mobs.
Can we stop “hotfixing” things mid week, and making it feel 100% worse? It’s literally impossible to heal this on resto druid now because I gain 100% aggro trying to keep Brann alive, and then get obliterated myself…
