It's true that a big portion of the community doesn't want these affixes but if they were developing the game based on what the community wanted m+ would be a dead game mode. People just want easy to get strong gear, they don't want any challenge and affixes are obviously meant to add difficulty to the dungeon and make you play in ways you wouldn't normally play and the reward for that is loot which has never been better in m+. These affixes specifically aren't even that bad. Afflicted and entangled are free affixes and explosive and incorporeal have potential but they will probably get some changes. Blizzard just needs feedback on potential bad overlaps on some bosses and trash, feedback that affixes need to be removed is useless.
The reddit suggestion they talked about for explosive is such a cool idea. Working the affix into the mobs using 'explosive shields' would mean you could increase the HP and it would'nt be a huge issue. I would'nt have the explosive do reverse damage to mobs tho. Just keep it simple - break shield or boom. Kinda makes you wonder what the devs are doing tbh, because this reddit idea is 100x better than current or future explosive affix. That said, the suggested affix change by blizzard COULD work if they they nerfed the HP abit more and made cleave work against explosive orbs.
These are so bad, the thing i liked most each season was the seasonal affix (since they changed to kiss/curse). Now they are removing the fun bit and doubling down on the tedious +7 affixes and not making them kiss curse. Make the explosive dmg mobs if you get it down, entagled thing stun a mob (not interacting with dr), healer one heal the group, cc one cc a mob or something (this one just seems bad and uninteresting with anything i can think of). Wish theyd try to let there players have fun.
Please stop making playing the game annoying, i just wanna run the key and do the actual dungeon mechanics and not having to worry with what different and annoying crqp i have to deal with every god damn week, also sanguine in my opinion should just not exist , non of them really but i have a special place for sanguine in the disgust room.
I want to play dungeons, not affixes.
wont play s2 if this comes out, have enough things to kick and cc
Well these don't make me want to go back to being a healer any time soon.. haha.. I wish those who main healers the best. Stay strong and don't settle for the bad tanks my friends.
the devs who did this, the most they would have played is +15
Yes, the main feedback iv seen is that nobody wanted this. Mainly ppl were calling for kiss curse affixes and this seems to have been ignored. This does seem to be a case of Blizzard spending resources solving a problem that developers want to fix, but the community is not bothered about. In terms of showing the community that blizzard has changed in how it develops the game and takes on feedback since shadowlands, this has been quite damaging so far. Hoping they change direction before implementing this.
initially after hearing the devs plan to make changes the affixes in S2, I was excited for the next season. After seeing these changes, I am pretty demoralized. I don't think this could be much more tone deaf.It feels a lot like we're seeing the reaction of somebody whose feelings were hurt by the negative feedback regarding M+ affixes.
