bet that isn't the case come the 26th...lol
Hotfix in 3... 2... 1.
Fun detected. Hotfix incoming./s
This is either a bug, or theres some technical reason why they don't want to or can't change this before the full launch of TWW.Either way, don't count on it lasting more than a few days at most.
For Frost + Rider of the Apocalypse DKs the free Frostwyrm's Fury from the DF tier set also triggers Apocalypse Now
Just play the game
Almost guaranteed this will get fixed shortly. Set bonuses usually shut off after a couple levels, no way this is intended to still be working at 80.
@#$%ing weird as hell that it shuts off anyhow, like, why? that worried about people not participating in seasonal bull#$%^?
Except for shadowlands current tier sets have never been disabled before the xpac comes, so this is not particularily new or exciting. We cleared nax 25 wearing T6 as it was rightout better.But those were different times although I am surprised that we are only talking about a "small amount of stats". I don't know, what itemlevel difference are we talking right now? Last I head explorer track starts at 558, that seems quite a bit more than a "small amount of stats" and most likely will easily cover the 10-15% damage from the ~525 set, not even talking about the increased survivability.
It's a thing for Marksman aswell, if I drop my 4 set I lose quite a large amount of dps, I could be at 550 but I'm staying at 424 for now
My bet is that they can't disable the sets just yet because TWW hasn't launched yet on paper. So the moment that the advertised launch date hits the sets will go into legacy sets. They will say that they didn't want to disable sets for players still playing dragonflight.End result will just be that EA players had a slightly easier time leveling.
100% hotfixed either today or before next week reset.
its probably because some people (those that did not buy epic edition for early access) are still playing Dragonflight.i did expect the tiers to be disabled at lvl 71 or 75, but apparently not. maybe it will on the full release of august 26th.
Why are people here so strangely fixated that tier sets need to be disabled? It was never the case before Shadowlands, and just to point out the blue post announcing it for Dragonflight, with the literal confirmation that it was an exception:https://www.cuckhead.com/news/shadowlands-tier-sets-to-be-disabled-with-dragonflight-pre-patch-329360
Dragonflight was the only time they've previously disabled tier sets at launch, and they've stated they don't plan on doing so again.Realistically, even LFR raid gear will quickly replace most tier set bonuses due to being 50 ilvls higher. If there's any outliers, they will be nerfed, such as how the Tomb of Sargeras Frost Mage bonus was specifically nerfed in 8.1.The content we're currently doing is, essentially, meme content. Who cares if tier sets make it easier, it's not challenging content to begin with.
please just put a level cap on it, don't remove it from timewalking like every other set :(
You can date how long someone's been playing WoW if they think it's normal for Blizz to retire tier sets as soon as an expansion ends lol
