Comment by KestevavildHAHAHAHAHAHA,

they even lied about nerfing dungeons according to the tank+healer giganerf.

They lie, every, single, time. HAHAHAHA

Refund your pre-order, that's the _only_ metric they care about, that's how you can send a message. If they revert these insane changes that only appease the top 0.5% players, then you can rebuy it, 2 days before launch, and not missing anything.Comment by VivaPinataplease stop, all of that xalatath affixes are $%^&Comment by dd614Voidbound is a terrible affix. The mob routinely spawns in ground denial areas where melee can't attack it and decently far away from bosses or trash mobs. The fact it is guaranteed to get off a pulse or two is ridiculous. I can't believe they're tossing out massive changes to M+ with a month or so left. Season 1 is going to be a total mess.Comment by Makz42Making up new affixes a month before release, yep nothing is gonna go wrong there.Comment by ChaosMonkeyThey need to make Voidbound more melee-friendly. If you are running a melee or mostly melee comp and it spawns in the middle of a bad puddle (or sth bad spawns where it is), you are screwed.
Edit: maybe after each successful cast it gets off, it teleports to the tank or nearest player. Something like that to prevent melee comps from being griefed by where it spawns.Comment by ShadowbrainThis affix was already super frustrating and our tanks were getting deleted. it takes some time to kill the thing, you're now almost guaranteeing that mobs get buffed by 20-30% or higher. Thats death for most people. What are you guys even doing?Comment by UrhWoVywar within looking worse and worse every day it seemsComment by AmmertossIs it so hard to hire someone competent to handle M+? Maybe sit together with some content creators, maybe Max, Dratnos, Dorki and Growl to cover all bases?Comment by Swiff690Voidbound is a terrible affix.

M+ have always been one big clown fiesta and its the thing that burns people the most compared to all other contents this game has to offer.Comment by LeYogiThe fact that I was so ^&*!ing excited about this expansion and now everyday I’m getting disappointed af is crazyComment by FraughtHey melee, enjoying us taking away your melee range extender talents? No? Not enough CBT, which we need you to have plenty of, 'cause we *!@#ing hate you?

Well, hey, here's a mob that can spawn in places you can't hit it now, and it's even worse with your pitiful attack range now. And hey, we buffed the mob, so you need to deal with it even faster now, so only take burstier (ranged) specs!

Stay tuned for next week, after we figure out how to ^&*! you even harder, because briefly doing something the community almost universally liked just got on our nerves!Comment by pghcrewI'm glad they continue to try new things with rotational affixes. They have still almost 2 months to work it out.Comment by ljlevendWhy not just try a season without affixes? Ego?Comment by DindongHAHAHAHAHAHA,

I do think the voidbound affix is overtuned and need some fixes on when/where it spawns and it not despawning when leaving combat. But overall AMAZING changes ty!Comment by LapticanHAHAHAHAHAHA,

You only get a 20 second buff after you killing it seems rather weak. It will help you kill the buffed pack it was with but little beyond that.Comment by Kiezklatsche#PriestsDeserveBetterComment by mybelovedchaosI like having interesting mechanics, this Oblivion looks like could be very interesting! Everyone seems so upset but its a good thing to see changes, when things dont change it gets boring and thats when I will stop subbing.
My biggest complaint about M+ is the dungeon pool. I think season one should be all the new dungeons and the following seasons can dip into old ones.
