Legendary Powers from Shadowlands Dungeons Hotfix - Better Droprates from Higher Difficulties

Live Posted 2020/12/03 at 10:33 AM by perculia

With a hotfix to the game that went live yesterday, we improved the drop rates of Legendary Memories relative to dungeon difficulty. Their Mythic difficulty drop rate is now significantly better than on Heroic, which is significantly better than on Normal.More importantly – the drop rates for Legendary Memories are much higher in Mythic Keystone difficulties, and they ramp upward with the Mythic Keystone level. The availability of Legendary Memories should increase dramatically next week.

Comment by koybI read "Legendary Powers Hotfix" and my heart stopped for a second. Hopefully they don't nerf the legendaries during heroic week.Comment by SaruyaIt helped me. I just ran Plaguefall mythic and got my MM legendary off the 3rd boss 😃Comment by SaramantisOmg yes! I have been spamming the same dungeon like crazy and wasn't able to get it yet.

I will try it again now and see if it drops. Good luck to both of us :)Comment by tkoreaperWhy was this not already a thing, WTF is Blizzard doing?It would've been nice to see this change BEFORE reset because I'm already locked out of all Mythic dungeons.Comment by MiokoGot my BIS legendary off my first heroic dungeon post-hotfix :D
Thanks Blizzard, I was going nuts spamming the same dungeon again and again !Comment by JosiaschileLol, yesterday a took a Buddy to his first hero, he ido monk healer and got both recipes from the dung. This systeam is already going wrong, it cant be that You don't get it even after 50 runsComment by CornbreadPopsGiven how expensive the leather ones are to make... I will continue to wait. No rush here.Comment by ChuckrutisThey really should have just made it 100% drop rate on mythic.Comment by Leobentobox"This should help counteract negative player behavior in dungeons, as players that were after a certain recipe from an early dungeon boss were leaving the group instead of finishing the instance if their recipe did not drop."

How? Unless I missed something, the changes don't address this issue.Comment by deathlavitzHow did they NOT foresee people wouldn’t stay in the dungeon?Comment by MrXtrmA day after I spammed Theatre of Pain normal for my legendary DH recipe...Comment by JohnG228I'm assuming their thought is, if the drop rate is higher people won't que up as much and drop.

But like others have said, how did they not see this coming. I remember people doing this in CATA LFR when you could see how many bosses had be killed on the accept window. This is nothing new, and it just amazes me that they wouldn't know this by this point.Comment by chilblane"This should help counteract negative player behavior in dungeons, as players that were after a certain recipe from an early dungeon boss were leaving the group instead of finishing the instance if their recipe did not drop."

How? Unless I missed something, the changes don't address this issue.Comment by TrevastatedThis is a good change, but I still maintain that pvp/raids/dungeon bosses dropping a currency (more on higher difficulties if need be) and letting us buy the legendary we require would be a vastly better system than what we have now. Making people do content they might not want to do just to get a legendary memory that is good for them is vastly inferior to rewarding you for performing well in -all- content with the legendary you want.

This -is- a step in the right direction, but I foresee a legendary purchase system similar to Legion's on the horizon.Comment by Karille"This should help counteract negative player behavior in dungeons, as players that were after a certain recipe from an early dungeon boss were leaving the group instead of finishing the instance if their recipe did not drop."

How? Unless I missed something, the changes don't address this issue.Comment by Olympus3129Blizzard and their timings. Instead of doing it before the reset they do it 2 days after when most people already did their 0s. And what's going to happen now? People will keep spamming heroics and leaving mid dungeonComment by Olympus3129"This should help counteract negative player behavior in dungeons, as players that were after a certain recipe from an early dungeon boss were leaving the group instead of finishing the instance if their recipe did not drop."

Some might say "the upper reaches layer 3+" which means it only drops from that wing. So if your doing random wings or it's not from the one your running that's whyComment by oaninorgood. now i wish correct the spec lott. Im demo and I'm planning to do it until I retire from wow. I had 2 legendary drops, both for destro and all my conduits are for destro and affli. only got one for demo. change the sepc from "current specialization (demonology)" to directly "demonology" not work. :'(

reminds me my 1h sword from Nathanos on my fury warrior. starting to think its a normalized bug. >:(
