Blizzard has been doing a bit of a roundup of certain discussions or blue posts that are really worth taking a look at. This week there was some notes from the Embers of Neltharion PTR that involved a 25% increase to player’s health pools and a 25% increase to all enemy damage to allow a wider design space for damage profiles of encounters. On top of that this was also one of the final weeks of PTR raid testing of Aberrus, the newest raid that’ll be introduced with the beginning of season 2 on May 9th.
The trading post also saw a large discussion surrounding it and the worries that it might be too “FOMO” (Fear of missing out) focused. The blue post mentions that this is not the intended model for the new feature and that items will be returning from month to month.
Then there was the large hour and a half youtube video of the M+ team having a live chat discussion with the community to answer questions and clarify design goals. You can check out the youtube video here!
For the links and topics at hand for the week scroll down and check out the original post below.
Stay up to date with World of Warcraft when you join us each week as we round up some of the latest top blue posts and discussions.
- Embers of Neltharion PTR: On Wednesday, the latest PTR development notes were published, and the Embers of Neltharion PTR was updated for testing. Updates this week included class tuning, PvP changes, scheduled raid testing, and a widescale increase to player health and enemy damage to give players more time to react to incoming damage.
- Trading Post Feedback: After some discussion by the  WoW Community Council about the Trading Post, a  response was posted that said many points of information, including this feedback, are being weighed, and items will become available again in the future. Still, there are no specific changes to announce at this time.
- WoW Companion App Issue Resolved: An error in the WoW Companion App preventing it from loading data from the network was reported this week. An update on Thursday said a fix had been deployed, so the app is working again.
- Mythic+ Discussion: On Thursday, the WoW Community Council and Mythic+ developers held a live chat session that covered many topics related to the development of Mythic+ Dungeons, thoughts about players’ experiences with affixes, and how the Encounters team approaches making improvements to the system.
- Solo Shuffle Rewards: The Legend Achievement for Solo Shuffle Season 1 and its associated rewards will be granted retroactively after Embers of Neltharion is released.
