- Stranglethorn Vale PvP Event - Blood Moon
- Zandalari Emissaries Visibility
- Blizzard's Event Balancing Approach
↖ Quest Monster Accessibility
Availability of quest monsters in the open world has been a major concern among players. Blizzard has acknowledged this problem and is currently examining ways to improve it. Once launched, there is always competition for mob tagging during early phases which can be frustrating sometimes.
Adjustments are being made to layering thresholds so that congestion can be reduced on realms. While no definitive solution has been reached yet, improvements are expected in the coming weeks.
↖ Druid Class Changes
Notably, druids have undergone several changes particularly affecting the balance one.Others spell instant effects at 42% Star Surge's base damage has been lowered by 35% while its scaling with bonus spell damage now matches those of other spells.
Star Surge also increases the damage done by your next Starfire within 15 seconds by 66%. In addition, an issue with Enhanced Restoration talent was fixed so that Nourish behaves as intended when combined with Rejuvenation and Regrowth.
↖ Paladin Fixes And Shaman Fixes
Two more class specific fixes have been implemented as well.For paladins, there was an issue where Sheath of Light's spell power proc did not fire correctly from melee attacks. Shaman's should note that Ravaging Tempest now drops its protective aura once Algra Splitusk dies.
↖ More Gameplay Enhancements
He offers a new Squall Breakers potion upon taking "Calm Before the Storm" quest at Freewind Post. Ral Cliffrunner at Freewind Post has a new potion called Squall Breaker that can be obtained after accepting the quest Calm Before the Storm.The Lesser Arcane Elixir has been updated to bind on pickup status.
The weekly quests "Clear the Forest" and "Repelling the Invaders" now give full XP and reputation rewards through level 40, which is a boon for leveling War Song faction grinding characters. Also, the Ashen Vale rallying cry World buff now persists through level 39. Spark of Inspiration World buff also heals properly.
↖ Stranglethorn Vale PvP Event - Blood Moon
The aim of these changes was to make Blood Moon event more enjoyable for players involved in this huge PVP battle. The probability of dying from one-shot by powerful attacks has been mitigated with this buff increasing player stamina by 30%. The Bloodless effect will last only 20 seconds instead of one minute, thus giving players some time to regroup invisibly and without getting attacked after their resurrection.
↖ Zandalari Emissaries Visibility
These NPCs who allow players not interested in participating in such events have become easier to spot as their visibility was increased.The purpose of this change is to help players locate Zandalari Emissaries, who offer an opt-out from this event.
↖ Blizzard's Event Balancing Approach
In a statement, the Blizzard firm said that they do not intend to change the blood moon event but rather; its brutal nature is done intentionally and forms part of broader experiments in PvP dynamics.
They admit that PvP can be very frustrating and have subsequently tuned rewards for it. The epic quality of the weapons and accessories offered are in line with blue items at level 40. This should not confuse players to think that these are a must-have requirements for progressing through the game since there are many other ways players can gain power.
Blizzard has stated that it will continue refining Blood Moon but that savagery is on purpose as an aspect of the wider experimental approach to changing pvp dynamics. They admit that PVP could get annoyingly difficult at times; hence, they settled on this level of prize alteration. It is equivalent to blue items from lvl 40 which means getting them isn't compulsory. Thus, those who would rather take different paths towards empowerment are welcome.
To summarize, these changes show Blizzard’s ongoing commitment to improving gameplay and reacting to community proposals. Additional updates should be expected as Phase 2 continues just as any evolving game environment experiences tweaking. Accordingly, gamers should keep themselves informed through official sources and community platforms.
