Heart of azeroth tone down

I literally logged out for an hour came back at 2am and noticed on my level 50 twink ive lost 19k health points and now the extra powers in the heart of azeroth has no effect unless ONLY in BFA areas, was this a sneaky update?

Fun detected

Actually i love it so powerful tbh im not that fussed but it took me by surprise guess i need to be careful taking on full instances now :sweat_smile: still powerful with self healing

Blizzard shows up with a bat and a clown mask to ruin said fun.

Subscribing for this post to see Blizz answer (I notice heart doesn’t work as well so my DK cannot heal valithria anymore with concescrated flame ffs)

not really shocking they may have said you get to keep the heart of azeroth as a active artifact they never said it would be useful forever :smiley:

Deploying countermesaures!

Seems bizarre to break it now when it hasn’t been relevant for 4 years (3 expansions ago) and has worked this whole time for old content.

Why change that after 4 years?.

Honestly seems a little silly to do that after four years. It isn’t relevant in current content but older content still exists so it should be relevant there.

who understands the deranged minds of a dev team that puts hour long timers on toys as well :smiley:

Well, you see, it’s all part of a great plan we’re just too small to see.

They have flip charts! With pen on them!

speed set nerf over 9000. and timewalking next week

This.

Though I was surprised they turned down the cooldown for my Turkey Transforming Gun from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.

If you’re ever AFK and come back to seeing yourself as a Turkey, it absolutely was me… :rofl:

Clearly Blizz has no other pressing issues to work on so they finally had the time to change something so minor after neglecting it for four whole years.

That Heart of Azeroth is supposed to sit neglected in the bank and, or junk pile. How dare you have fun with it. Do you remember how much criticism we got for that choice of progression? Please don’t remind us of that time! - Blizzard Probably

Yes, this is a very new development.

I’ve been using Concentrated Flame as an instant cast ranged ability for years on alts that were all run through BFA when current.

Noticed this morning (it may have been the case on Saturday and Sunday) that it no longer works in Guo-Lai halls (The Hall of the Serpent) explicitly red-texting “You are in the wrong zone” for Rei Lun.

What’s annoying about this is that it is a BFA phase although it is Pandaria.

It was also really useful for geting past Valithria Dreamwalker when soloing ICC on a class with no healing, havent tested it, but I bet that no longer works.

Blizzard are completely inept - dropping an undocumented change like this, while totally dragging their backsides on fixing the guild bank issue - which is apparently high priority. How something as trivial and inconsequential to the current expansion experience warrants a fix when they have bigger issues is total nonsense.

Was this intentional? Can’t be a bug?

If it wasn’t intentional - they have no idea what they’re doing when they make changes.

Genuine thought I had… - were people using this in Delves? Is that why they’ve zone locked it?

You can skip valithira have been able to for a while

must be this because the only reason the locked covenant abilites to shadowlands was exactly they were using it in “current” content.
