also not shown: a pretty good mega dungeon (aesthetically amazing btw), the raid which we all know will be good cause blizzard raids, and some classes gaining super saiyan powers from the new neck system

They are authenticating manually because all their auth servers went down.

Foggy · Jun 8, 2019

The season 3 M+ affix is totally fucked. Content ruining levels of bad.

Rime · Jun 8, 2019

Absolutely. I guess they want to 'slow' things down again? Ghuunies were a pain, particularly in a few specific groups where you could not CC reliably. Ghosts are actually lots of fun and you can plan around them. But season 3 being so random is... ugh.

Khane · Jun 8, 2019

They lack imagination. All they do these days is come up with some lame idea and to make it "interesting" they make it random.

Fyff · Jun 8, 2019

Haven't seen anything on it yet other then there are different elements it something. What does it do?

Khane · Jun 8, 2019

Season 3 Mythic+ Affix Beguiling Details and Information

xzi · Jun 8, 2019

I tihnk they're fine if there's only a handful of them throughout, which it seems is the case.. but that LOS one is absolutely retarded.

This deals Shadow damage equal to 50% targets' health to enemies in line of sight within a 60 yard radius.

It's an 8 second cast, I assume you probably can't interrupt or stun it (otherwise why be 8 seconds?), what happens when there's nothing to LOS, like the entirety of Motherlode? You just gotta run 60 yards back? lol

I can't think of anything less interesting than that. The other two are fine, whatever.

Khane · Jun 8, 2019

All of them are entirely unimaginative. You're going to need to keep them away from everything else you are killing so they cannot spread their auras. Basically the same thing as infested.

Fyff · Jun 8, 2019

Unlike infested they are immune to CC though right? I would need to see it but it doesn't seem like a super fun mechanic.

Daidraco · Jun 8, 2019

The only randomness should be the AI, and I halfway think that should be static. But the other stuff isnt really interesting? Reflect damage etc. If you want to do something basic like that, then do something like "Violence incites the spawn of Void Tendrils to fight against you!" The larger the pull, the more un-targetable Void Tendrils spawn. There is increased damage right there, that isnt just scaling %. Keeps you semi-kiting, too. Simple shit like that would go a long ways to being more interesting.

BoozeCube · Jun 8, 2019

Next season Ion is going to give M+ a death touch ability. Suck on that you fucking nerds.

The randomness is that they are with different packs each week. So you figure it out by the end of one week then have to come up with new pathing all over again the next week.
