snooze fest they couldnt even come up with something new ? we get a rehash of the current season . makes me wonder how far have they cut their dev staff to have to use the same crap over again .
Wow, people actually liked Awakened?I hated it because it forces people to go in an optimal route, rather than having multiple routes that have similar optimality. Of course, I hate Prideful so much more because the optimal routes are extremely unintuitive.Anything that takes away freedom or else risk penalty is bad.
I really don't like the "breakpoint" affixes because they have the potential to just make the whole run way harder and unfun just because someone butt-pulled an extra mob early on. Instead of "oh we lost a little time there killing a mob we don't need, but all good," you now can have prides spawning awkwardly in the middle of packs and making everyone miserable (and of course blaming the poor tank for not pulling an alternate route to "fix it" out of his butt.)
Need more info. I'm getting worried. This patch seems to be launching soon and the M+ seasonal Affix still hasn't hit PTR. They aren't going to have time to make any major adjustments should players not like the first implementation. I think the largest thing I want to know is if the SL S2 affixes is triggered at a mob count threshold like Reaping and Pride, placed as an obstacle in the dungeon like Infested and Beguilging, or something you trigger at your own discretion like Awakened. Awakened and Reaping were some of the most positively received affixes of BFA. Infested was probably their worst affix, and while Beguiling was largely unpopular I found most weeks fine. The rotation is what got me, some patterns were a lot worse than others. Some dungeons were made magnitudes worse depending if it was a Shadow add vs a Frost add was in X position and that kind of week to week inconsistency was just not great in my eyes.
Can't wait for this affix. Sounds really fun
Prideful was very fun in my opinion, but I must confess I run with a regular team not pugs so it might be better for me, because of that.As a matter of fact the state of pugging a key seem worse than ever, but hey its an MMo find a few like minded people and play with them ^^.I dont agree with the affix making routes stale. We always varied up the route depending on the week, because sometimes you want pridful against a super annoying trashpack not the boss which will go down in 30 seconds anyway, and if someone messed up you had to get creative as well.I still like awakened probably better, but im not sure if it would work as well in these dungeons as it was in bfa. I feel like there are more optional pulls this time than in bfa, but this might be just a gut feeling. Would love if there was a special week where you could test old affixes here.Kinda worried what they'll try next season hopefully we get a hint soon.
Lol am I the ONLY one who fkin hated awakened?
