Thread: Patch 5.2    

Maybe it's easier for them to just remove the NPC. They probably scripted it retarded so that all future gear is upgrade-able as well and it's just easier to remove the NPC so you can't do it.

I honestly would rather they just say fuck it and remove it permanently lol.

While on the one hand it is nice to actually have something to spend valor on, fuck actually capping valor. It's so far beyond retarded that 16/16 heroic guilds still have to run dungeons or scenarios to cap valor.

They need to give something worth while to do with valor for that to happen. I have no idea what the fuck to do with my valor if I ever ran out of worth while upgrades.

It's true, though when I que dungeon, it's funny to see people's reaction when I did 150-200k dps every pull

I've had people fucking leave over that fact:

OMG YOU DO 150K DPS I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE EASY
/leaves

The fuck is wrong with people nowadays. I get worked up seeing people do 15-25k dps in 463s but not the other way around.

our mage and I did a random a week or 2 ago, me tanking in dps gear, got temple, got cleaning up without even trying with more time to spare than we had on our successful run back when we were actually aiming for it

don't think the people even knew what the hell it was lol

The new zone coming in 5.2 is not unlike the Isle of Quel'Danas in a few ways, and one of them is that there's no flying.

No flying on 5.2 island. Interesting.

If by interesting you mean needlessly aggrivating, then yes, yes it is. I can't wait to dodge 30 ft tall elite dinosaurs every 5 feet.

e are changing the 4pc Frost / Unholy set bonus from Army of the Dead to Killing Machine and Sudden Doom proc more often. We don't have numbers yet and it's possible they won't work out. In addition to all the concerns mentioned, it was a really valid point that Army of the Dead is hard to use in Raid Finder, where most of our players experience raids. You rarely get countdowns before a pull and players in general are used to yelling at DKs who use Army because they had a bad experience at some point with the ghoul taunt.

ehhhh, ok sure, it'll at least make 2 hand a bit less mindless


at least it's not rng on our rng on our rng so we can rng while we pray for rng off our rng

Patch 5.2 adds another way to earn Elder Charms, through daily quests! It seems that the Sunreaver Supply Crate and Kirin Tor Supply Crate have a chance to drop an Elder Charm of Good Fortune. The cap on these has been increased to 20, up from 10.

You have to be shitting me... Why the fuck do they want to make us to this shit every god damn day. "Charms are optional" my ass.

Coming to the PTR in the near future will be a new designation of item type in Normal and Heroic raids for non-tier pieces. Each 5.2 raid boss will have a chance of dropping this new designation of a particular item that’s 6 item levels higher than their counterparts. These higher quality versions will be called “Thunderforged”. This means that there will be five variations of some items. You’ll now see a 5.2 raid item of LFR quality at item level 502, the same item in Normal quality at item level 522, the item in Normal Thunderforged quality at item level 528, the Heroic version of the item at level 535, and the Heroic Thunderforged version of the item at level 541.

This new item designation is being added for a couple reasons, but first and foremost to make loot drops more interesting overall, especially after you have earlier bosses in Throne of Thunder on farm. As you’re working on progression, those first few bosses can now continue to provide a chance at upgrades, making repeated kills potentially more exciting and rewarding. Those additional upgrades can then help to slowly raise power, and boost you over whatever progression roadblock you may hit.

We’ve also received a lot of feedback regarding 25-player raids, and have been looking for ways to address some concerns. Ever since we changed 10-player raids to drop the same item level as 25s, we’ve seen a steady decline in 25-player raiding. This isn’t surprising. A 25-player raid takes an extra level of logistical commitment for the officers of those groups. It’s unfortunately easy for a 25-player guild to collapse down into a 10-player guild, but very unlikely for the opposite to happen. However, we like 25-player raiding and don’t want to see it go away. Like many players, we love the epic feeling that comes with banding together more massive groups to battle powerful foes, we love that there’s opportunity for those groups to try out new players or unusual comps without causing a huge burden, and we want to support the larger raiding guilds. That said, we’re also concerned that over-rewarding the 25-player guilds—if, for example, we went back to a higher item level across the board for 25s, as was the case for Icecrown Citadel—would feel like a slap in the face to the many 10-player raiders out there, who are the majority of our Normal and Heroic raiders.

To attempt to navigate this minefield, we’re going to try having Thunderforged items drop more frequently in 25-player raids. They’ll be somewhat rare in both cases compared to the standard versions that’ll drop, but they’ll be even rarer in 10s. Overall, a 25-player group will be more likely to end up with a slightly higher item level after several weeks of raiding.

It’s important to keep in mind that this only affects 10- and 25-player Normal and Heroic raids, and tier-15 armor pieces won’t be available in Thunderforged quality at all. We’re curious to hear your thoughts about these changes, and what you think once you begin seeing them on the PTR.

Blizzard right now:

We don't need more tiers of shit and fuck people who cried about how "25 mans were less rewarding". You already get much easier boss kills and more loot. Blizzard can't get shit right anymore.
