Pantheon Trinket Loot Specialization Drop Hotfix

Recommended Posts

nhyS3Bt.jpg

 

While we haven't gotten any official hotfix notes so far this week, a change was made just before the reset to Argus' loot table, or rather how the epic Pantheon trinkets drop. As of the hotfix, all of the drops will work based on your selected loot specialization, whereas before it was only the first one.

Hey guys! Just wanted to follow up with this since there was quite a bit of discussion and some really good feedback on how the Epic Pantheon Trinkets are awarded. Recently we've pushed forward a change before this current reset.

The Pantheon trinkets for drops after the first now obey your loot specializations. Previously it only followed your loot specialization for the first one and the second was random for your other specs.

Appreciate all of the feedback you guys have been giving us about this!

In case you still haven't gotten one, or have and are a little fuzzy on the exact stats, here's a list of all the epic trinkets and a useful infographic from a quite while ago, courtesy of Mr. Robot:

Who at Blizzard thought that this was a good idea in the first place? I got my trinket on our first Argus kill, then I had to switch from resto to feral halfway through progress, and of course I get every single trinket except the one I actually need. I still haven't got it, and now that my guild has heroic on farm and went into a break til BFA, there is no point in trying to get it.

Blizzard, I love you, but sometimes y'all are a bunch of dumb motherf*$%ers.

Trinket should have been loot based the entire time, or never.

So how are you screwed NOW?  Set your spec and forget it.

The ones you got before were "wasted," sure, but you're not screwed NOW.

If you haven't gotten it by NOW then I'm done, not in the mood to debate or argue over the stupidity of the context of "being screwed".

Stupidity is right. 

Your answer above about 'or never' being set to loot spec-requirement like EVERYTHING ELSE, literally DOES screw everyone Now, and in the future, because it would keep it random.

Of course you're still using your old trinkets - they're not replacing the ones you have.  Theyre hotfixing an issue. 

"I was screwed before, so perpetually screwing everyone else is not screwing myself in the future." 

It's not really a debate.  They fixed something to the way it should be, you're just suffering from what the fix 'fixed' in the first place. 

"I got cancer, but they developed a prevention AFTER I got it so I am getting screwed."

but even in that case until you got the cure you would STILL be screwed.

...I can't even grasp the logical hoops you're jumping through to consider a cure for cancer as 'being screwed' only because you didnt get it sooner. 

Being screwed implies being in a WORSE position than you were in before.  Youve got it, that's bad, but youre not in a WORSE position than you were in before.   It makes so little sense that put in any other context you'd be laughed at.

McDonalds institutes a maximum 30sec wait time for food, you're "screwed" by this because you once had to wait 4 minutes. 

Has everyone that's old enough to have used it been screwed by technology since there's a windows X now, but at one point they had to use windows 95?

Bottom line is:  You got bad trinkets based ona crappy loot setup.

You can either:
A) Continue crappy loot setup (not screwed apparently)

B) Get it guaranteed next drop (get screwed?)

Since we're getting dictionarial...  I'm not 'comparing cancer to loot drops,'

I'm comparing the obvious GREAT nature of this change (which you acknowledge) to the obvious great nature of a cure/prevention/whatever, leading to a feeling of being 'screwed' by this change simply because it didnt happen sooner. 

That literally applies to every analogy I've provided.  Let's get dictionarial:

analogy

  • n.
    Similarity in some respects between things (and I'll emphasize this part to you) that are otherwise dissimilar.

Indeed.  It's rather obvious.

I don't get it.... why you use that examples (the Mc was a really bad one) insted of something that is in the same context..

Kil'Jaden...

in @DeathsDesign  point of view, Blizz screws us when they nerf it right?

I used numerous examples.  if your example of kj finally shows him how ridiculous it sounds then by all means use it. I'm skeptical...

"In his point of view" - literally everyone that loots this item now is going to get the correct spec version as soon as it drops..  period.  he is complaining that it didn't retroactive fix his previous experience. 

 

He is still farming for this. But now it's guaranteed to be right. Ouch, so terrible.

but I was more referring to EVERYONE ELSE that has been waiting for that trinket.

They literally will get it the next drop.

The only better solution is retroactive loot refunds from bliz.  I wont wager how often that's occurred.

has Blizzard not learned that too much RNG is a bad thing from additional feedback this expansion.  If the change was avoidable, then this whole thing could have been prevented

They perhaps did, hence hotFIX, and the improved experience.  Even for you since your next one will be GUARANTEED.  You're not 'screwed' by this patch. 

Again, you're talking prevention which is what this patch does, it prevents any future loot sadness because it WAS random, and NOW is guaranteed.  AGAIN - how are you screwed!? 

"I attacked your views" - I observed OBVIOUS faults in them and have explained why they were obviously faulty ad nauseum, even tho the person being explained to has literally said he wouldn't listen (ie 'deaf ears.') 

If I were a troll would I bother explaining something so seemingly simple, or would I simply say things like "I aint listening" or "your replies will fall on deaf ears" ? 

ETA:  Or maybe a troll would debate the use of the roman numeral X instead of the number 10. ie Windows 10.  But no.  I'll reserve my comments on that and let you tell your own story "Bro"

The only thing guaranteed on the next drop is the Pantheon's Blessing.

omg... You'll note where i said earlier "you still have to farm for it."

You're talking fixing a current problem which is not prevention, it is actually fixing something. 

So the people in the future are not prevented from the same problem you're complaining about?

if I'm wrong I'll admit that I'm wrong, but you seem to have blocked out anything that I may have said that you could possibly agree with.

Your first post literally said this patch screws you, then say in the same comment section that it's a good thing.  I agree with the second part - its the first that both 1) make no sense on its face, and 2) I cannot agree with or see in any way that you could actually be being screwed since 1) is in play. 

I havent 'blocked it out' - not once have I said anything would fall on deaf ears.

So the attempt to use it as an example just fell really flat imo.


...because I used an X (which you knew meant ten), instead of the literal number 10, the point fell flat.  Holy cow.

OK I'm going to stop here because this has gone way too far, you are nitpicking at every little thing.  I'm deleting my previous posts because my intention was to express my opinion as is the case with any thread not get into a pissing contest about who is correct on every little thing.  It was immature of me to point out the Windows 10 thing, so I apologize.

 

@Starym sorry about this.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      Dragonflight Season 4 is upon us and here's a handy visual gearing guide by Reddit user gandalin1306 to help you get started!
      If you're curious about the upgrade tracks for season 4 and the crests required for upgrades, look no further. Here’s a detailed visual guide created by Reddit user gandalin1306.
      Update: gandalin1306 updated the gearing guide, adding Whelpling Crest drops to Heroic dungeons. The image below has been updated.

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
