Blizzard has announced that starting with this week’s weekly reset raiders will be able to choose to have a second fated affix active in fated raids.
On the Dragonflight beta side of things people noticed changes to item levels in leveling content. Blizzard has responded explaining that they are not squishing any stats but are changing the scaling around leveling with Chromie Time going up to level 60 in Dragonflight.
Additional Fated Power in Season 4 Fated Raids
This past weekend’s esports charity event, Xy’mox’s Charity Cache, provided the players with additional Fated Powers in Fated Raids. Though this might have looked like a detriment at first glance, capitalizing on double the Fated Infusions turns out to be a boon!
We believe that this feature should be available to all organized players, and so starting with the next weekly reset, players in Normal, Heroic, or Mythic Fated Raids will be able to opt-in to one additional Fated Power at the Fated Console, located near the entrance of each of the Fated Raids. These additional powers may be disabled at any time, but that won’t affect any in-combat encounters, and will not change how loot is awarded.
We know that many players have enjoyed the twists and fun of Fated Powers, and we hope that access to more will increase the fun.
Happy raiding!
Chromie Time ilvl Rescaling
We are not doing a squish. The overall goal is for player-characters who are at level 60 today to log in at level 60 in Dragonflight with the same item level and approximately the same stats as they had before.
What we are doing: rescaling Chromie Time. In Dragonflight, Chromie Time now stretches from 10-60, so that players can choose which expansion they’d like to level in, and they can stick with that all the way to Dragonflight if they choose to.
So that’s going to require that we change some iLvls within that range to make it a smooth experience, but the endpoint isn’t changing.
There are definitely some bugs with this on the Dragonflight Beta and the PTR, such as your heirlooms, and we’re going to fix them up.
