After thundering, good.
Just rework existing affixes, add brand new affixes to the rotation pool, and remove fortified/tyrannical. This is an easy one to solve.
Holy sh%t! No season affix that's gonna be lit :D
hopefully they make them have a reward for doing them affix correctly, like you take damage from grieveous but if you do heal them to full for 3 second they midigate damage, or something to this extent, like i dont mind the negatives if their is a reward for dealing with those negatives.
I hope the redesign includes kiss curse affixes. Having all negative affixes will be even more annoying.
Interesting news but I'd really much rather they added a few more affixes and just got rid of Tyrannical and Fortified like people have been asking for. If they want to keep the score system requiring two weeks then they can just make it so that you need qualifying scores from two different affix combos. Just get rid of tyrannical/fortified. Add some affixes that only affect bosses instead or something - e.g. an affix that adds a mob to bosses that makes the boss harder. It can be done! Just for the love of Azeroth, get rid of Tyrannical and Fortified!
Hm. I'll see how this plays out but honestly, there have been a lot of seasonal affixes that felt really good. Thundering has been terrible, but the power boost from the dreadlords or the relics in Shadowlands? Not gonna lie those felt rewarding and fun imo. This could very well be a great change, I'll be curious to see how it feels when/if it hits live.
potentially no more grievous storming (annoying for DF dungeons mostly) and my personally hated explosive. I wonder what will take its place... will it be happy or sad community responses?
I'm assuming "refresh" will mean kiss/curse. Like killing explosive gives a stacking dmg buff for 10 sec or mana, or healing grievous gives a shield at the end, all stormings dodged and disappear give a buff, stacking on quaking gives healing etc.
Insane news! Now just remove Fortified and Tyrannical and M+ will be lit again.
Very happy to see seasonal affixes gone. Wish they would rotate in some older ones though that were more fun or interesting. Like I would take the shrouded/reaping over fortified or awakened/prideful over tyrannical every once in awhile.
Personal take, Remove Tyrannical, and Fortified, make a permanent increase to Add's health by 25%, increase boss health by 15%( as a balance for removing the affixes), make the affixes have the negatives that they have( cept for ones like Quaking) and add a benefit for surviving the mechanic.
so you didn't like the terrible seasonal affix that we created how about no seasonal affix at all, why put in the effort and make something good i guess
Grievous should not be a thing. Period. Unless they want to bring necrotic back, then it would be fair. But Grievous is just a healer affix... Not exactly anything anyone can do anything about other than the healer and still time things.
More afixxes for the rotation pool would be nice. And for a change, affixes to mainly affect dps. Healers and tanks are the ones punished the most by all affixes.
Make it like division 2 where you can select and apply affixes for bonus rewards. Maybe.. bonus valor?
Now lets get affixes that can also be used in favor of the players instead of only trying to screw the group as many times as possible. Let people think about the best way to use them, to improve their times, damage, etc.Kinda a little what they did with thundering, but in a way that works instead of just being something that you end up having to remove asap to not overlap and screw the run.Anyway, just a friendly reminder that this is what happens when you wanna make sure that the entire playerbase have to "enjoy" an aspect of the game just for rewards. Because there are people pissed with the "dumb down" of M+ through the expansions. Want to force it on players, will need to change it until they like it for real. That's what happend to raiding for example.
Good. I hate the 4th affix being based on the current raid. I'd like a set of new affixes for the 4th or no new ones at all. It is really annoying having to just have to deal with one affix for 4+ months straight, week-to-week.
This season has been the absolute worst for tanks and healers. Every single week has affixes that specifically target those two roles. Healing has been the hardest its been in any season and you get weeks w/ bursting+grievous shoved in your face: it makes you not want to play.
It it wasn't for affixes I would stop playing a lot sooner into a patch, less impact from affixes will just make the entire experience get stale faster. Even bringing back old dungeons, don't get me wrong, I like the variation, does not add longevity for older players that have seen this content at release. I am a fan of impactfull affixes, Maybe not the ones that promote bringing a certain class but in general having to think about your approach to the dungeon even though you're familiar with it's base set of mechanics is a good thing in my opinion. And yes that's going to result in a less and more enjoyable week for certain roles. I for one enjoy a good bursting grievous week as a healer. The one week my role isn't cosmetic.
