Now Live

We’ve heard feedback around challenges in the new Keystone affix and scaling structure, as well as the difficulty some players are facing with making progress. With hotfixes that are now live:

  • Runed Crests are now awarded up to Mythic Keystone +7.
  • Gilded Crests are now awarded beginning at Mythic Keystone +8.

Coming later today

Mythic Keystone Affixes
  • Increased the duration of the buffs granted by Xal’atath’s Bargain Affixes to 30 seconds (was 20 seconds).
    • Developers’ notes: We’ve been closely monitoring the impact of the bonuses provided by Xal’atath’s Bargain affixes, and we’re increasing their overall power level on players. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these buffs as well as the challenges these affixes present.
  • Xal’atath’s Guile now increases enemy health and damage by 10% (was 20%).
    • Developers’ notes: With the increase to the buffs granted to players by Xal’atath’s Bargain we’re reducing the effectiveness of of Xal’atath’s Guile, to allow players to push deeper into the Keystone system with current item levels.

With Scheduled Weekly Maintenance – October 15

  • The Necrotic Wake
    • Zolramus Gatekeeper’s Wrath of Zolramus periodic damage reduced by 25%.
    • Skeletal Monstrosity’s enemy forces contributions increased by 20%.
    • Kyrian Weapons
      • The effects of Bloody Javelins no longer stack.
    • Surgeon Stitchflesh
      • Surgeon Stitchflesh’s health reduced by 20%.
      • Stitchflesh’s Creation’s Festering Rot damage reduced by 30%.
  • The Stonevault
    • Skarmorak
      • Skarmorak’s health reduced by 10%.
      • Skarmorak is now stunned for 4 seconds (was 2 seconds) after Fortified Shell is broken.
      • Skarmorak’s Crystalline Eruption damage reduced by 15%.
    • Void Speaker Eirich
      • Void Speaker Eirich’s health reduced by 10%.
      • Increased the cooldown of Entropic Reckoning.

We’ll confirm for you later today when the Affix hotfixes go live.

    unless the m+ community overall fixes itself, which is almost impossible, i will merrily continue to run delves with various alts.

    i know it's me, not the others

    HUGE. Thanks Blizz. Gating mythic gear at 10s is fine now that we have a path to climb there. We'll spend this week farming 8s, finish upgrading our hero gear, and be ready to time 10s next week or the week after. Then on to 3k! Or whatever goals we set for ourselves.

    I don't think it's realistic to expect 100% of humans will learn to be civil. 80% already are, but there's always gonna be 20% of the people causing 80% of the drama (Pareto Principal). Make some in-game friends and you'll never have to pug again.

    Its a shame +11s dont award gilded.
    I think +9s should award 4 crests of runed.
    +10s can give 6 and +11s can give 2 gilded.

    this is one of those moments, you see. you being right doesn't change a dime when it comes to the actual experience.

    anyway, not here to whine. i am happy with my delves. just give me delve+ or smt and i will go my own way.

    Looks to me like they want to adress that stonevault is one of the hardest keys to time right now. Instead of adding a minute or two to the timer they make you spend less time fighting the bosses. Not sure how successful this will be though.

    good point,didnt think of it that way,melee groups do end up taking a much much longer time on that boss than ranged,however i cant rly understand how that key is harder to time than others,every boss besides the twin bosses are a cake walk,and even the 2 bosses are pretty easy if you know whats happening and can interupt ,trash is much more of an issue

    If you havent timed a 10 this week, this change wont help you do it next week either.

    If anything, it makes him harder to kite. But he shouldn't be the major stumbling block in Stonevault either way. If you can't handle Eirich, you probably won't get to him anyway.

    You don't think having 626 gear (and 636 weapon) will make it easier to time 10s than being 619? I disagree.
