    I think Blizzard coins are just like the B's in RMAH of D3 beta test...

    KJC turned into a joke in comparison and Harvest Life destroyed (amazing demonic fury builder gone, decent AoE when everything else is on CD)
    Oh, and Wild Imp nerf for good measure.

    Welp, that's enough. My lock will have to sleep until next expansion

    Awesome new pointless hunter MAJOR glyphs...one that makes people rage about being out of range of your aspect and another that will reduce the dmg from one spell by 10% before you become visible again...great going Blizzard...

    Honestly can't see this going live. Also wondering if the Thundering Onyx or Mushan is the Garrosh mount. Either one would be disappointing.
    I would say it is a neat idea... starting out at 10% health and flagged is kinda difficult to overcome once people realize what is happening.

    The real problem is that it will be exploited, with friends allowing you to kill them..

    You have gotto be kidding me - Lightwell is going back to require clicking? For real? Come on, if you don't want the spell to be working, just remove it.Don't go back to the version that decidedly did NOT work for the previous 5 years, basically ever.

    And to think that people are going to start clicking it again, after Lightspring being in existence for almost a full expansion is just absurd. if no one clicked it before, even less are going to click it now.

    It's out-of-touch ivory-tower decisions like this that makes me doubt Blizzard's competence to understand how their game is actually played.

    ................*crickets*.................
    Lightspring is going baseline... But it changes name to Lightwell.
    And the glyph makes it require clicking.

    Actually, the Blizzard coin system will (as the name implies) be used as a cross game coin. HS already will work with coins, so you win matches in HS, get coins and these coins areused to buy things on the Blizzard Store.

    So the argument of "buy to win" is already redundant as one can say it you play you already earn coins by itself.

    Of course you will nedd to play 72 hours per day to earn enough coins, but it IS possible.

    Wait so the Kor Kron Juggernaut is going to be a mount to? Sweet, I may have a new thing to farm next expack.
  1. Janysa's Avatar
    Maybe the Juggernaut is just the rnd Garrosh mount (same as DW dropped 1 mount rnd and 1 100% in hc) - and the 100% hc mount is still in development.

    it is their hobby to make warlock players find they are being nerfed everyday.

    I wonder what the hunter minor glyph Chameleon really does - surely not the same as the focused fire glyph as mmo champion reports above.
  1. Violent's Avatar
    What the flyin fuck.. "Lightspring was renamed back to Lightwell." "Glyph of Lightwell was reworked: Your Lightwell no longer automatically heals nearby targets, but can be clicked by players to restore [ 8,603 + 83% of Spell Power ] health every 2 for 6 sec."

    Why waste time, effort, money, & resources changing shit, that pretty much doesn't need to be changed 3 or 4 different times. Then waste the same shit again, changing it back, but a lil different. And people wonder why shit doesn't get fixed, just changed until it's another problem somewhere else.
