Orbs kept spawning in locations we couldn’t reach in time or inside mechanics:
last boss rookery it spawned on 1 side of the boss twice, and the player who moved there last didn’t have any cc left while nobody else could reach it in time
twice in a row on the candle boss in DFC it spawned in the middle of the mechanic of flames exploding and we couldn’t reach it
the minecart wouldn’t stop moving despite having mobs on us, and the orbs spawned while the cart was moving away and we had to choose between mobs hitting (and probably killing) us or try and CC the orbs somehow 40+y away
had a few more dodgy spawns that we managed to grab
I don’t get the thought rationale behind the decision to make lower keys mechanically harder and at times just make it near impossible to deal with. I thought quaking was a lesson learned, but alas…
I’ll be doing +12 keys in no time so it won’t affect me for too long, it’s just really frustrating to have to deal with this garbo right now.
All the top players get on and up their keys to 15’s or whatever. Then it suddenly dawns on Blizz that there are a million problems that affixes cause because they never considered their interactions with dungeon mechanics.
It is annoying. The days of Blizz doing quality are gone. It’s ship it now and fix it later sadly.
What do you prefer? No affixes ? Then people will come here to say how boring M+ dungeons are.
Or what do you prefer? You want Bursting/Bolstering back? NO. We complained for YEARS for them to take those away. And we finally got our kiss/curse affixes we should have gotten 6 years ago.
No, I will keep complaining because it’s frustrating and annoying to have to deal with.
Like I said, I’ll be doing +12 keys in no time and not have the issue anymore, but every time I’m forced to deal with those terribly annoying affixes that just ruin M+, I will complain.
If you claim to have the skills to do +12 and above with out a permanent BL buff (which is what the affixes do practically speaking) then you have no right to complain.
Also putting some orbs that you can deal with 1 CC, which is not an automatic wipe if you fail them… cannot be compared to a +12 or above where 1 missed kick is instant wipe…
Thats my opinion. You still have no right to complain.
Im going to be in +12s in no time as well. But I swear that 1 cap totem or 1 thunderstrike is not a big deal.
I do that type of stuff anywais in a +12, and +12 and above are WAY more punishing for not doing mechanics. I still cannot see how 10 orbs are a problem for you, but a pack of 10 mobs machine-gun casting things that will 1-shot anyone if not kicked to perfection is not…
Its not about complaining or not. Its literally helping you get to a +12 faster ! Because it gives you mini-BL for 50% of the dungeon duration for half the effort a +12 requires. I simply dont get it.
Literally look at the screenshot. Can’t reach the orbs in a lot of scenarios, result is that we don’t get the buff, and the boss gets less damage, making it last longer.
On top of that it’s annoying to deal with, not fun. I play for fun, and annoying bs like this is just so unnecessary along the way.
once you realise that then everything makes sense.
its the same as with flying only more subtle - Ion is making the experience in m+ so miserable that people either unsub or choose raiding as main activity .
look what they are doing to raiding first with the stacking buff in first raid and now with all the quality of life and dmg / heal buffs from rep .
do you belive even for a second that its 10000% not deliberate that they get it in raiding and not in m+ ?
If you have problems with that… good luck with 12+ and above… You should know already from S1. It should not come at a surprise.
You dont get the analogy here.
You work a confortable office job. And your boss decided to pay you 3/4 times more than market salary for the same job. You should be payed 50k and instead you are payed 150k.
And you complain that you dont get payed enough every time you go to work. Because you dont like the office job.
So yeah… complaining is something everyone can do. But that dosent make you right. On the slightest.
So you can keep your right to complain and do it all you want. I will continue to say that its a stupid reason. Which is also true, and is not against your right to complain.
We got kiss affixes. OP buffs I may add… Therefore, the salary was doubled for LESS work we used to do, because not too long ago we had FOUR affixes, not just 1… More work for the same pay was what we had before…
Common Lilith, even you will admit that…
Not because of the kiss curse affixes. Specifically because of the -15s per death affix which is ZERO extra mechanics… paradoxically…
Not to mention all the difficulty hikes from fort/tyranical and the extra % modifier in +12. ALL of which were ZERO mechanics…
Baseless assumption…
And the changes they did did not make M+ perfect that is for sure. And I am sure that tuning is required (we will see if they make us wait 5 months like in S1, ALSO a cause for people leaving, myself included by the way…)…
But they atleast addressed SOME of the problems. And beleive me, the 10 orbs was NOT one of the problems.
Did you wipe cause of this? Or are you for real making a forum post about removing the xal attah affixes because you got a 5% dmg buff instead of 6% once out of the millions of times the affix has spawned.
