Patch 5.1 PTR - Build 16297, Interview, Garalon Hotfixes, Blue Posts, Weekly Roundup

[Buck-Shot]

I have no fuss about doing dailies to exalted once, but then I have to unlock rep again on an alt just to spend my VP?

There is nothing fun or rewarding grinding to exalted for MULTIPLE reputations on one character and then being pigeon-holed into doing it again on an alt JUST to buy VP gear. VP gear should be unlocked for all of your characters once you get exalted with everyone on one character. I don't care about feeling epic. I care about maximizing my accomplishments. I have already gotten to exalted on this toon, so why do I have to do it again? I've proven I can grind and do what's necessary on a character, and I don't think I should have to prove myself again.

THIS.. Totally Support This...

[Trollfaced]

Nerfing DMC-trinkets before I ever got wealthy enough to buy one of those stupid things, great ...

[Moradim]

6000 valor points for a quest?

seriously?

so this is how they get you to keep logging in

[Caelic]

I think what is more annoying about the DMF trinket nerf is the fact they announce the nerf the week after DMF ended on live, so all the people who spent their gold last week are fuming. If they'd announced those changes a week, or even two weeks ago, I bet many wouldn't have bothered.

Oh well.

[Granyala]

The second change is a reduction to the Darkmoon Faire trinket procs:Relic of Yu'lon

I don't say this often but if this is true and not a datamining bug:

F*** You Blizzard.

[Kilmir]

Also included in the next hotfix, the Raid Finder version of Pungency (with relation to Garalon's Pheromones ability) will only stack 20 times, and Fury will only stack 5 times.

Wait. If Pungency only stacks to 20, does that mean there is no need for kiter switches? Or in other words, 1 person can kite the whole fight in LFR?
If so, that would make the fight tons easier for LFR I think. Also without high stacks the raid damage will be lower so even fail raids shouldn't run out of healer mana then.

[Findus707]

Yet again blizzard says we are not forced into doing dailys, but whats the point of valor points if i cant even use it?

[Granyala]

I have no fuss about doing dailies to exalted once, but then I have to unlock rep again on an alt just to spend my VP?

Yup, it's retarded. But it seems they want to be pretty adamant about it.

[SourceOfInfection]

Good thing I sold all my DMF trinkets before this nerf was released. I feel bad for the people who dropped big gold for these already.

Is he serious? I do Klaxxi, Golden Lotus AND CloudSerpents and Tillers in little more over one hour.

inorite? Maybe dailies are a good opportunity to learn how to play your character better and become faster at pushing them buttons.

[taheen74]

It doesn't award 6000 VP. The objective of the quest is to GET 6000 VP. So basically a six week (assuming you cap weekly) gate.

Ah ok...I read it wrong then.

[markos82]

I wasn't actually referencing the Alchemy one at all, just the DMF one as that's the one I spent 60k on due to being impatient :P

Yeah, sorry I misscliked, didnt had contact lenses on....

[Dieselol]

and rogue is still crap...

[Declaron]

So, they've managed to nerf the Darkmoon trinkets that some of us have spent 25k+ on, and they STILL decided that its fair that the Agility trinket requires a Critical Strike to proc, yet all of the others dont.

Thanks for that.

[Vesci]

I want hotter female anchors, models, sex toys, whatever you call them. Brawlers Guild is the dumbest thing (and it's really stupid that I can say this every damn expansion and have it be true) that Blizzard has ever done and I'm mad they wasted development dollars and time on it. That's it.

Oh, and lose the dudes, COMPLETELY. Fucking free loaders.

[Navitas]

Well, won't be buying a DMF trinket again. Sorry scribes but I think this change might effect more than just this patch (i.e. negatively effect your business in future xpacs)

[scorpious1109]

and rogue is still crap...

Good.

(10 chars.)

[Maklor]

Is there more? What a waste of a patch if that is it.

It's a freaking PTR patch stop being silly.

Nerf to DMC's when most of the trinkets in this tier of raiding are absolute tripe? Rigggggggggggggght blizzard, riiiiiiiiiiiight.

I think it was expected though, from what I can tell they were wayyy over budget.

[Rosiel]

Come down guys, all of you can update the card 2x with valor points... and then... the proc is back to the old one...
this fix is just because without the nerf yet, the cards would be too strong for this expansion with the itemlvl upgrade...

[Aeiedil]

Wait. If Pungency only stacks to 20, does that mean there is no need for kiter switches? Or in other words, 1 person can kite the whole fight in LFR?
If so, that would make the fight tons easier for LFR I think. Also without high stacks the raid damage will be lower so even fail raids shouldn't run out of healer mana then.

Still though @ 20 you're still doing raid damage that could be avoided. Will make it much less likely though + means that a single kiter is capable of keeping it as you say

[good diu bro]

Is he serious? I do Klaxxi, Golden Lotus AND CloudSerpents and Tillers in little more over one hour.

Are you doing those in irregular hours?
In a crowd realm, there are more people than Mobs/objective and alot of those objectives cannot be shared progress within the group (esp collect X daily in Golden Lotus).

Golden Lotus is possibly the worst daily hub of them all.
You cannot skip the most annoying daily that you hate, or no stage 2 for you.
If the daily is bugged for the day then you cannot progress to the next stage.
Plus, you are forced to do golden Lotus in order to unlock shadow-pan and celestials.
