Is there going to be an event this year? It's already December 16th and there is no announcement anywhere, no one knows nothing. All we got this Christmas were buffs to ICC bosses. The beloved encounter "Lootship" now is done in normal by some guilds, no more easy items for a lot of people. DBS is now stopping pugs from advancing further, some guilds can't get marks now, specially in HC. Abomination was nerfed to hell in PP while oozes and boss HP remain the same, Queen does more damage now, there are more adds in Valithria.
So far it looks like we have a grim Christmas ahead of us kekw.
buffs? it works as it should. Fixing Gunship where you can bug both boss and mobs is good thing to do, if its hard for you and others to kill it normal way, i dont think you deserve to progress further. DBS is easy enough to kill without "removing" mark from you. I dont understand whats wrong in fixing bosses to work like it should. Maybe they should remove damage from every boss and just go solo ICC
Abomination was nerfed to hell in PP while oozes and boss HP remain the same
raid damage from abom was also gutted. you can very very easily drop a healer on heroic or two on normal. before all healers were at 9k by the first green ooze spawn, now everyone (4 heal) is around 5k. the raid damage reduction is insane, yet you seem to not mention this, why? the overall damage requirement is about the same, since before abom damage was counting as abom's damage on skada, inflating their actual damage; their damage output on oozes is equivalent to top 2 dps on oozes on a good guild, except now you have an extra dps in the raid because you can very easily drop a healer.
relative to when? the peroidic damage from swarming on the player is like 3k every 2 seconds. it's almost negligible. meanwhile, a couple months ago, her spell IDs was bug fixed to not use her air phase version of bloodbolt volley outside of air phase, cutting in half bloodbolt damage for 90% of the fight. and two years ago, she lost over 8 million HP. she's a literal free boss if your raid isn't braindead. I would say get good, but it's more like get below average because '8 hc guild' is a meme for a reason.
the most recent bug fix there are more adds in Valithria.
no there isn't. the same number of overall suppressors spawn, just spread out to each gate. 1 suppressor will spawn from 2 gates and 2 suppressors will spawn from 2 gates, thus the same in total as before.
Altought it is not clearly stated so far for some reason you can see the last reply in this closed thread, which states Chrismast is not about expectations of getting something. Of course that does not answer why or if events were cancelled this year but you can pretty much get the gist of it. http://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=442221
Angry snowman are long time tradition but they might have gotten covid this year, so enjoy your time outside of the game and celebrate with your close ones.
