Conclusion

Developer’s notes: Our goal with these changes is to make the different effects more competitive with each other for more players, and to ensure that the belt is desirable, but still gets replaced by endgame Season 3 gear.

Comment by NotAgain1337Just commenting here to tell Tomrus to calm down before he says anythingComment by avatarofshadowso, this is PTR but Player Housing is live ?Comment by akaRavenso, this is PTR but Player Housing is live ?Comment by ScaryfoxI was very interested in the new rankings so, I'm glad that I saw them. That sample size is too small to be credible for me at least because Shadow Priest is the only ranged option, and even then, I prefer classes that love crit.Comment by Setsuna665hey at least it went from something that was just going to be ilvl only and made it something worth having. gives me something to do since im pretty much done gearing altsComment by ViperDuVarkso, this is PTR but Player Housing is live ?Comment by AzzkikrBlizzard saying they balance stuff to make it more competitive to eachother, yet from sims it clear they are just balancing completely randomly, as it ends up being even more imbalanced than before. Blizzard in a nutshell.

Jesus christ what a bunch of amatuers.Comment by FlareStarrrIt's such an easy job: throw some random tuning everyday and wish it magically works.Comment by dancharveyHow can you say they missed the mark when we don’t even know what season 3 ENDGAME belts even are? lol.Comment by TOMRUSIts very clear they have absolutely no clue how to do tuning...Comment by trogJust commenting here to tell Tomrus to calm down before he says anythingIts very clear they have absolutely no clue how to do tuning...Comment by TyneicStill don't like the belt. Still don't like Cyrce's. Still don't like brute forcing BIS gear by overtuning those items so that they stay equipped for the entire next season. But mostly I hate bland boring effects on items without stats.

All in all, I would've been fine with a high ilvl belt that's not quite as good as a real belt from real content, so it's a catch-up for alts or an ilvl push for people to queue lfr.

Now we get another "this is your belt for the next 3-5 months" without any other competitive option.

This design choice of brute forcing items by over buffing them is anti RPG design in a game that calls itself MMORPGComment by ooppppcyrces sucked. the whole zone sucked. the time gating sucked. the content was broken on launch. and we were stuck with that ring for so long. and some people still are, as that pos ring is still bis for some. now we're getting a belt too? more slots forced into stupid borrowed power items we dont even like or want. nobody is asking for this garbage. not gonna have room to put 2 embellishments at this rate, as youll be 4 set tier 2 embellish 87 borrowed power items. oh and those trinkets that dont drop ever, to the point we add a "bad luck protection" so that it isnt blatant we make the bis items .1% drops. oh and have fun progging our weak aura bull&*!@ raid. games so cookedComment by phaizBlizzard saying they balance stuff to make it more competitive to eachother, yet from sims it clear they are just balancing completely randomly, as it ends up being even more imbalanced than before.
