Keep the Explosive like this, but if you kill them before the timer, then they explode for their HP as AoE damage to all enemies (our enemies) so it's a burn phase that helps us, and also then incentives bigger pulls
i honestly rather one seasonal affix + tyra and fort. at least seasonal affixes can be fun. the other affixes are just annoying to deal with. maybe add another affix like tyra and fort but does a different thing.specially when i play healer i feel like most of the burden is on me. 1 quaking in a bad moment i cant heal my guy and he dies. it gets even more obnoxous combined with other affixes and mechanic. stop cast quaking> move there is spell on the ground> wind is coming move so u dont fall off/ step into lava> dispell the tank> stop casting boss is gonna interrupt>>> finally get a cast off > quaking all over again. its not just quaking volcanic is kinda the same it get very obnoxious with bosses with many ground effects like last boss nokhud offensive. u just cant get a cast off. meanwhile its non existing for melees.if u insist on keeping them, slow down their spawn rate 5 times or something. every dungeon im playing around affixes more than dungeon mechanics it self. its not like these affixes change the route u play week by week. they are just there to annoy u differently every week.
so all classes do get a second interrupt right?i mean...u have to kick several things already on every pull...how u gonna kick another 2-4 npcs which spawn random, and stay for 20 sec.those affixes are garbage all of them
i think with explosives if you could AOE them the increased hp would be no issue
Good to see Blizz is back to killing their own game every way possible.Imagine thinking Dragonflight was going to save the gamexD
Hahaha, so first they decide to remove the seasonal affix and everyone is happy, then they decide to add new mid level affixes and boost explosive which is hated as it is already, good move, LOL
I've played WoW for a long time so I've seen everything both good and bad for blizzard. I really hope they pay attention to community feedback because clearly it's 100% negative... These changes are possibly the most stupid thing they've ever considered, next to hiring bobby ofc. I don't care about positive affixes and I have no issue with them being punishing, but holy moly this is a step too far. Honestly, if they just removed quaking, and buffed explosive orbs so it was no longer a healer job that would have been fine. Adding all these stupid affixes where you need hard cc/dispels/kicks etc on top of already mechanically heavy dungeons is just dumb. I have no idea who comes up with these ideas but they should probably be replaced.I guess all we can do is hope that blizzard will listen to feedback. However, I'm guessing they won't care unless the sub numbers drop.
I even feel demotivated to play WoW right now, knowing this is coming. I don't necessarily think the new affixes are bad (though explosive looks as dumb as ever), but they're not good. They're boring, annoying and just... They don't make a difference at all to the affix-problem as a whole. Affixes just need to go. Completely.
Delete them all. It's insane that Blizzard thinks any of these are a good idea. Entangling is going to wipe groups and brick keys when it comes at the worst possible times. Imagine it on last boss of Vortex Pinnacle, running from the lightning. Or first boss, dealing with tornadoes. Or second boss, positioning for winds. Utter sh*tshow. What is the point of afflicted and incorporeal in dungeons that are already mechanically dense? Do you know how many kicks you have to get out in high keys in Nokhud, Blizzard? Now you want to add even more mechanical bloat?Explosive... just. Why? Article gets it right.If these go live they will actively make the game less fun to play. THAT is your barometer Blizz. You know there is an entire website that encapsulates how players feel about affixes? Read the banner. https://mythicpl.us/ Stop giving people reasons to not engage in content and quit your game. This isn't supposed to be Shadowlands anymore.
Blizzard has one mission in life, make sure the player is as miserable as possible playing WoW. Good job Blizzard, keep doing that to your game and see how much of that &*!@ peaple will accept before quiting forever.
Why does it always feel that Blizzard throws @#$% at the wall to see what sticks? Was there really no play testing these affixes before they went to the PTR?Explosives rework : Current strategy is to let them go off. Really? Did they ask the 80 year old retiree at he front gate to do the rework?Entangled : It's actively unfun to be slowed. Why would a game company make their game UNFUN on purpose ?Afflicted: This is an affix that completely excludes many classes completely from interacting with it (e.g. hunter). I also think the healer should dispel party members and not an affix.Incorporal: Same, I want my stuns, CC etc for the mobs in the actual pack.tldr: just drop the whole +7 affixes for Season 2 and see how it goes and take 6 months for Season 3 to come up with GOOD new ones
