So for those who are not following the updates the new ksm requirement would want you to do all the dungeons on both tyrannical and fortified to get KSM
So we have 8 dungeons. You could plan your KSM by doing those 8 different dungeons in any difficulty till 9.1… but Now this means you need to do them 16 times mandatory 8 times in fortified and 8 times in tyrannical I know there are people who hate tyrannical. This is just forcing content upon them. When most of the player base say they hated tyrannical why even make it a mandatory requirement.
And secondly the mythic plus rating is linear. Rio used to be exponential. Meaning Rio used to score you based on the highest dungeon you did irrespective of the affixes. But now the new Ingame dungeon scorer will give you a “High” score only if you do highest dungeon on both tyrannical and mythic plus.
I feed these changes are absurd and my initial thoughts these changes were brought to
make the players grind more time in the name of ksm and mythic plus
indirectly supporting the wts m+ boosters
Yes we can all imagine how much the boosting will be done in 9.2 I can already feel the spam on trade chat.
Where did you get the info the scorer only gives you score for a run if you run it on both affixes? Not seen this.
I’ve read it gives you score for both. So if I run DoS tyra 15 I get score and I also get score if I run DoS 15 during fort weeks.
If I got no score until I run both, surely the score awarded would have to be doubled, and youd have the first week where players cannot generate score at all?
From what I have read u need 2000 score for the KSM, and running 15s of both affix is one way to get this score, but u could also run lower Tyra keys and higher fort ones to meet the score.
ATM with RIO it is possible to only get 1200 by running 15s, but 9.1 u can have 2000 by doing the same. Ie score is now awarded based upon both of the base affixes rather than just for doing the base dungeons.
So people whom only push fort, will have less score than those who push both, seems fair to me?
Not saying Tyra is a good affix but if it’s to stay, the idea that you can ignore it and still be awarded KsM is bizarre, KsM it meant to mean you’re pretty good at M+ and part of that involves tyra
You don’t need to do it. You’ll survive without it if you dislike M+ so much that the thought of doing 16 dungeons in 6 months is oberwhelming to you.
If you unironically believe this you are beyond clueless. Mythic+ boosting feeds on the absolute bottom-tier of players that somehow are too bad at the game to complete stuff on their own. This does not support boosting, it promotes players learning the game. Honestly, if you can’t manage to complete something in the game by yourself - your gaming situation will have no use for the rewards it gives either.
This does not affect players that already don’t like M+, since they won’t be doing it regardless. Literally the only one this affects are the players JUST BARELY above trash-tier that are able to complete +15 on the easiest affix combination but their head explodes as soon as the difficulty increases by a single %
8 more dungeons in an entire season is more grind time? Seriously? People already do hundreds of dungeons per season without the change.
As for boosting, now people need to buy 16 dungeon runs instead of 8 to get KSM. The gold price for getting KSM via boosting is effectively doubled (which means real money cost is doubled because you would need to buy more tokens). This may deter many players who may find 80€ price for example ok, but 160€ too expensive.
It may also deter boosting volume by fact of requiring Tyra. It is a lot easier to carry dead weight on Forti with the right setup than it is to carry them in a Tyra 15 boss fight like Amarth for example. This means to sell their product of KSM, boosters have to be more capable, so you may see a decrease due to that as well.
