Only a few hours ago I archived a rant.
It had good points and Blizzard (Tigole) promptly provided feedback on a few core issues. Good work.
Going LD while in a Raid group (to be hotfixed)
Currently, on live servers in the US and Korea there is a bug which causes a player who goes LD in a raid zone to come back with the 60 second, “you don’t belong to this instance” message. The player gets booted from the raid zone once the timer expires.The bug was fixed yesterday. Unfortunately, the servers need to restart for this fix to go live. When the servers go down for regular maintenance on Tuesday, the hotfix will go live.
Apologies for having to deal with this bug for a little bit longer. We’re doing our best to get bugs fixed as soon as possible.
I am hoping to have an update on the Raid lockout issues for you as well. I don’t currently have one.
Raid Loot
We’re aware of the complaints regarding raid loot. We’ll be making adjustments in the next content patch to improve the loot tables as well as some of the items.Scholomance: Upcoming Changes
In response to player feedback, the following changes will be going live to Scholomance when the next content patch is available (note: not the localization patch, not server maintenance).
–Increased respawn delay to 2 hours on the majority of spawns. Only the crypt fiends will respawn in 30 minutes. This should make wipe-out recovery MUCH easier.
–Removed low health flee from all creatures in the dungeon.
–Removed triggered roamers in the first room. Previously, if you only cleared one side of the room, other mobs would wander over and take their place.
–Fixed a bug that caused the spell “Cloud of Disease”, cast by Diseased Ghouls, to do more damage than intended.
–Reduced the duration of Dark Plague from 3 minutes to 90 seconds.
–Blood of Innocents will now drop off both Doctor Theolen Krastinov (The Butcher) and Jandice Barov for players that have completed the Sarkhoff questline in Scholomance
–Shadow resistance now will be more effective at mitigating the damage from Unholy Aura. (This will also help with Eastern Plaguelands and Stratholme).Lastly, we’re aware of complaints about the loot in Scholomance and Stratholme. We plan on re-visiting the loot tables and items in the future. I can’t promise this by the next patch but at least wanted you all to know we’re aware of the problem and plan to fix it.
I feel that once the loot is set properly for the zone, people won’t see clearing to certain bosses as “work” but rather will enjoy the dungeon experience a bit more.
Feel free to post any additional comments or suggestions on Scholomance here for the dungeon team. We’re listening.
