You know something is really bad when even the trolls agree with the casuals.
What... I can't even begin to understand why.
Well that's pointless.
I cannot even begin to understand the thought process that went into this bafflingly stupid change. I just... what the actual $%^&.
But why? They should have instead made other rare a lower spawn rate.
Just why? :(
Well. Looks like I'll be going back in a few xpacs when I can camp/one-shot. Absolute garbage change - along with the previous 15 minute zone despawn timer. Reverse these changes, Blizzard, and quit punishing the loyal player. NONE of FR & ZC is solo-able. FIX THAT.
Bad
The only thing I can think of in defence of this change, is that clearly people are still interested in these rares, so maybe this will encourage people to actually stop and form a group when a rare they need is up, rather than ignoring it because they can't solo it yet. It will also stop the rare farming groups that pop up when somebody has every rare up on their shard, further incentivizing people to actually stop, form, & join rare groups. It could also be argued that this puts high & low pop on a level playing field - forbidden reach rares are soloable for the most part, so if you're on low pop you have the massive advantage of being able to fly in and solo every rare you need, high pop flies in and has to wait. The change still feels bad, but let's see how it plays out over the next couple of weeks. Use that group finder people!
ngl i think this is one of the worst decisions they've made in a while. why punish those still farming these rares because of bad rng :x
People have been asking for these rares to be made easier so they can farm them as it's outdated content and Blizzard's reaction is to make life worse for people that actually want them, I'm curious what their thought process is regarding this it just seems so out of touch when they're bragging about " listening to feedback " in recent interviews.
Blizzard keeps farming Ls after Ls. Maybe they haven't changed that much...
Very disappointing change. The wording of the blue post is awful. "Fixed issue" was it really an issue?
Sooo instead of looking at WHY these zones are deserted as they are, they make sure NO ONE will want to go there even more. This makes no damn sense at all. Just nerf their HP to 3-5 mil. This screws over new players and people still hunting for collectables (like me with Invoq, Dinn and Karokta). Stupid decision, Blizzard. And just when I think that maybe they aren't going to be anti-player anymore, they pull this.
this almost feels like a concession to someone who's really mad about all the positive changes made for the player experience coming down the line so they made sure at least one zone was still grognard mentality-friendly. 'yes yes calm down we made sure they'll have to sit around for hours, yes the HP stats are still stupid-high...'
Man... what are they doing with this game...
Dumb.All they needed to do to is literally nerf their health pools.
Only reason why those rare are up so long is not because there is nobody to kill them, but because they are unkillable solo.
