Some welcome changes, especially Alchemy
some great changes. kinda sucks ive already gone through the entire Alchemy failure process and have all the recipes as of 2 days ago BUT its still a good set of changes non the less. would be nice to have an alter of Decay in the over world just so you dont have to slog through the dungeon every time you want to craft some of those items but im happy with what was posted. good job blizz
Nerfing the re-crafting hurts people who didn't already take advantage of it. It's really difficult to get sparks to use on a small server.
Some good changes, glad to see a bit more Iskaara rep
I hope the first Primal Infusion change will be just in time because I'm on The Silver purpose. Also, it's good to see that they fixed Baskikron since I'm going to try tomorrow. That said, I don't mind changing the required renown for Aiding the Accord. I just hope doing the Dragonbane Keep Siege won't turn into a weekly requirement since the lag was so bad, I was just standing still for 90% of the event.
"Made some additional backend changes to “Community Feast” to reduce lag and improve performance."Calling bull on this. It's almost worse than before, especially with the primalist invasions.
"Fixed an issue causing players to sometimes be hit by Stormcaller's Fury when double jumping or gliding." huge huge relief from this DH who obsessively double jumps all around. (:
Why are they still nerfing Cobalt lol. I guess they're scared of people running out of things to do
"Developers’ note: While we are not increasing the cadence on many of the Dragonflight World Quests, we are adjusting the reputation on some of the World Quests to help some of our players to better progress the weekly “Aiding the Accord” quests."Any time you want to make it possible for me to complete the weekly reputation quest, I'd appreciate that Blizzard. Cannot gain progress in this quest because I've maxed every reputation and paragon-classed reputation does not trigger it. Oops! Managed it last week due to Iskaara but this week I just can't do it.Also, massive Iskaara nerfs and buffs. Crazy stuff. I got mine through 50 hours of Chest grinding so nothing would have really been different for me but I'm glad there's more healthy options for gaining rep aside from chest spam and fishing spam.
Crafting Orders are a cool idea, but id rather see Buy Orders. Where a player can just request any material.For example, I could put a Buy Order up that consists of 1 Crafted Alchemy Stone, and 250 Wildercloth.
"Protecting the soup from beasts will now give up to 60 reputation when you help defeat the beasts." I've just done the Feast and this ain't a thing, it's still not there.
I'm just curious to see what their plan is for the weekly order request quests on low pop servers. There's been a total of 4 work orders posted the entire expansion so far for Blacksmithing on my server, 3 of which are PvP patterns that a player who doesn't traditionally do a lot of PvP will never get. This quest is basically impossible for me to get done without having someone specifically go in and request things for me to craft, and you can't use alts to request crafts and make them either so it's pretty much not able to be completed on my server. The enchanting and tailoring both have zero requests at all right now on my server; my mage can't do either one and my rogue requires patterns from PvP to do it.This was a poorly designed system when it comes to low population servers unfortunately.
So are the primal invasion timers still excluding people with jobs?
Feast was always a bit of gamble for me, ranging from 4 to 13 orders. Today I got only 1 order in the first 5 minutes, speeding up with time. At the end I got 6 orders, but soup was legendary anyways. The big change: Bisquius now gives 110 rep (was 50).
"Kryrian CovenantFixed some issues causing enemies in some Kyrian Covenant Campaign scenarios to not deal enough damage to level 70 players to complete the quest for a long time."Is this finally a fix for path of ascension? Now that i leveled to 65...Now I hope for Siege of Orgrimmar loot fix. Everyday I send a bug report.
No wonder there are so many overlooked bugs and annoyances if the development team makes as many typos coding as these folks make in the update posts.
