Dungeons and Raids

  • Developers’ notes: Through the first week of Season 3 Mythic+ dungeons, data and feedback suggest that Murozond’s Rise, Throne of the Tides, and Atal’Dazar are outliers in terms of difficulty.

Please, fix this quickly :

24

What was the thought process behind this? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

25

This is stupid, people have been asking for these to have lowered health or increased drops for a few months now and the only thing we get changed is making it harder to find the things. So now we have to wait for them to spawn before we can try to get a group to even try to get the things.

28

Great, so you made the already almost dead content even more impossible. RIP those who are missing the “Unique creatures and treasures” set.

What did you drink last night? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Increased damage on player’s pets.
No longer applies on pets…. ……
…. …. …. ……

34

That one is easy…

Previously the pets got the buff if they stood in the dome.
Not they don’t get the buff anymore when inside the dome but instead when their master is inside the dome.
So basicly no real change for the pets except that they do not have to be maneuvered into the dome anymore.

Why are you nerfing the top dmg classes??? What is the logic behind this who is making this adjustment you should be buffing the worst-performing classes instead.

This nerf for bm hunter is so aggressive. There are efforts that people put in for weeks. You destroyed all these efforts. BM Hunter players could no longer keep up with other specs at the same item level.
By changing a few numbers you are taking people away from the game. I say this on behalf of myself and my two friends. If it is not restored at a reasonable level during the next patch, we are canceling our subscription to the game.
