As of a few hours ago, Ominous Conch has been nerfed.
They are now “Unique” with a max stack of 20, & the cooldown has been increased to 5 minutes.
Any excess are also deleted from your inventory.
Blizzard WHY?
Why make this change 2 months before the end of the expansion?
Seriously cannot fathom Blizzard’s logic other than to piss people off myself included, because I had 80+ of them in my bags… I typically leave fishing related stuff to the end of an expansion.
Yeah noticed this just now when it wouldn’t let me hand in a Fishing Hole Daily. Not entirely sure why this was changed, but my stack of 93 was reduced to 20.
Also cooldown change? Not sure this was intended or what but it seems pretty specific for one item that isn’t that impactful beyond screwing Achievement hunters
Just another necessary hotfix I guess.
Not surprised anymore at all. Never forget how when they made Prestige account-wide and many players had to re-earn 100s of levels… There was never a comment about it.
Or the sudden removal of Double Tap without no communication at all.
But worry not, when they want something to sell you, communication will be back and rather frequent.
Just the way of the world.
DF is shaping to be a rather time-consuming legacy expansion to come back to later with the timed events, storms, rares and fishing-related summonable rares and whatnot. I really hope they will change all this.
Or maybe they have indeed finally identified the goldmine and it is a sign of things to come, as a large part of the playerbase likes soloing old expansions, both instanced and non-instanced parts of it.
I had 120 in my inventory so I lost 100… I made ticket and CS said they can’t do anything since it is unique stack of 20. Let’s hope it was a mistake and they will address it this week?
lost like 100+ as well.
Well if you did this then go on and roll back everyone’s achievement who completed it before this and let’s all of us start from 0 then because I’m still missing like 20 lunkers and what I had should have been more than enough to complete.
For real what was the reason behind this change? Is the game better now? There was nothing else to fix on live? Here I give you problems to fix: maybe start banning bots and multiboxers who one click looting nodes.
This change is completely absurd.I´ve lost 100 and i have 20 left it would have been enough for the Metaachievment.And then 2 days ago i thought where did they go those conches and i really thought that i deleted them.Now we know.Ive made a ticket and hope i get them compensated.they can give them to me 5x20 in the post.
I also lost a lot of conches.
On top of that the new limit is causing issues with the Tuskaar Fishing Frenzy world quests . If I have more than 15 conches the quest refuses to compete with an error saying I have too much of a unique item.
Deleting conches below the limit won’t complete the quest and I had to zone out and in again to get it to complete.
I’ve reported it as a bug - hard to believe this is intended behaviour.
This is also a big nerf to those that yet to get enough copper coin for the otto mount since the coin drops from lunkers.
Why change something like this and make it literally harder for no reason at the end of the expansion? If it was change for pre-patch I would say ok but they didn’t warn anyone about this so they could have dumped down their ominous conches.
Still radio silence on that absolutely necessary hotfix
They rarely explain why things are changed.
I do not understand this change or why it couldn’t wait at least until prepatch.
Reverting the increased cooldown is nice, but the Unique(20) is still in place and still causing issues with WQs and dallies that award conches.
Hopefully their mention of the stack size and not the unique means that’s a bug they will fix.
Everything should stack to at least 100 tbh. No reason to limit it to 20.
