Patch 4.2 Hotfixes - September 14

If wowhead comments are to be believed, evade-teleporting slags actually have been wiping a lot of groups. I'm just surprised that the bug was so hard to fix that they decided to nerf the encounter instead.

They usually say "Players..." or "Persons..." and do not mention factions, unless it's "Alliance or Horde only"

I only recently aquired that 1 year wine, it's in my bank for a very special occasion. The Deadmines nerf also seems a little unessential.

Honestly I am shocked. Did this fight really need a nerf? Are players that bad? I remember back in 4.1 , in all Blue's no higher than 346 iLvL , Group failed at boss so I quick changed to my Turtle and killed it with everyone except the BOT dead. I mean seriously it was never hard , and now it is getting another nerf. STOP Catering to people who just want to push buttons and get epics , it doesn't work that way. Also half the reason people suck in these instances is because of the way iLvL is determined before entering. Items in bags should not determine iLvL , equipped items only.

good nerf is good nerf, i welcome nerfs except for class nerfs.

obviously you guys have never had slag evade bugging and teleporting up to the top and insta-killing the group.....

Since when was Foe reaper all of a sudden hard and needed another nerf? Well whatever I'll go with it, It's old content but nerveless funny.

Firelands Flamewaker Subjugator and Animator packs should now behave as originally intended. As Flamewaker Subjugators become damaged, Flamewaker Animators will be attackable, and must be killed quickly to prevent a significant buildup of Unstable Magma.

That wiped us last week, we did the trash as we always did and then BOOM, all fall down. Took them long enough to fix it if doing the trash the old way wasn't intended.

And waiting a week to tell us, causing lots of deaths. If they posted this last week it would have saved manyawipe

They'd have to recode how evading works...which isn't the best solution at all. Its like recoding how aggro works just because one boss has an aggro bug. Its not very practical, and if you screw something up while recoding something that important, it would effect the entire game in a negative manner.

Because noting how the trash works was that hard? It was obvious to us the first week how it worked.

Foe Reaper 5000 Molten Shield has been reduced from 50,000 fire damage to 20,000 fire damage on Heroic difficulty. Molten Slag's spawn timer has been increased in both phases of the encounter on Heroic difficulty.

1) 2 button fights are hard. Clearly. Especially after almost a year. Someone might have hurt their index finger if this hadn't been changed.

"Premature Explosionation"

2) Activision. Even more mature than initially thought. They must have hired some high school freshmen to flush out their ranks.

nothing was hard about a heroic in ilvl329 gear. Maybe there was some challenge but I know that when cata released and we all raced to max level we knew what we were up against. We knew that it wasnt going to be handed to us anymore once we hit heroic dungeons.

I think more of what people are upset about isn't that this stuff is easy for them, but rather that Blizz is making it SO easy to be ab absolute tard in this game right now. I understand the nerfs of raids to get people through them easier. I like that because my group is close to having all the heroics on farm and a slight throttle back would be nice so we can be geared up for Deathwing when it's time.

I know the only reason I am upset with these kind of nerfs is because there is so much other stuff broken right now that can be fixed, yet blizz still sits around looking at slightly old content instead of what the majority of players are actually dealing with. It's just like the BT Map BS. Was that really something we needed a whole patch for? Did people really get lost in that place? Hell, I dont even know how to look at my map there. It's so straight through that it hurts. sorry for the rant... long day at work.

I actually laughed out loud when I saw the Deadmines nerf. I'm totally out of words to say about the nerfs we are seeing in the recent years. I just think it's funny.

who cares about a DM hotfixes... WTF!

Foe Reaper had a bug, when pulled to the top of the ramp, which seems unfixed; it would cause wipes. Maybe this nerf is to encourage PUGs to take on the encounter at the bottom of the ramp, traditionally, because Blizz couldn't fix the bug at the top?

The Brunnhildar transformation in the Storm Peaks should again be applied correctly to flying characters, and will not cause mounted characters to dismount. The transformation should not affect druids in Flight Form. POR QUE!!?!?!? My favorite past time is still forgotten.
