Season of Discovery HotfixZirene

Additional changes from today for Season of Discovery:

- Activating an Obelisk in the Ruins and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj will no longer interrupt people who are eating/drinking.

- Using the World Buff consumables will no longer interrupt people who are eating/drinking.

- Added a visual to the Curse of Despair illusions. Picture are them Before, After, and then a screenshot someone sent me showing what it looks like in action.

- Buru's Obelisk is now under the water pipe when you jump down instead of across the way where you may accidentally pull the boss.

- Fixed the gilded scarab loot table to not contain 2 patterns that were unintended and are obtainable elsewhere.

- Noxious Blast (hard mode mechanic rank 2) will now correctly evaluate who should be hit by it when the debuff EXPIRES instead of when it is APPLIED.

- Ayamiss has been nerfed to 60% of the previous health value.

- Moam's health have been nerfed to 75% of the previous health value.

- The trash drops from Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj have been added and distributed across the first 3 bosses (Previously was only obtainable from the chests).

- Ouro will no longer apply the Descent into Madness hard mode effect without hard mode being active.

We are aware of issues surrounding the Twin Emperors and difficulty resetting them cleanly.
We are aware of issues surrounding the difficulty of C'thun as well as erroneous eye stalks spawns.

Comment by RuuddieWe noticed Huhuran did more dmg after each wipe yesterday. First wipe was 11% because we weren't prepared since it was our first try. Try after that 18%, 3rd try 50% and 5th try only 75%. First try avg poison bolt hit was 1.5 - 2K, last try it was 4-5K. No changes to NR. It was basically oneshotting melee like flies.Comment by Adondriel*Noxious Blast (hard mode mechanic rank 2) will now correctly evaluate who should be hit by it when the debuff EXPIRES instead of when it is APPLIED.

Noxious Blast is not entirely fixed yet, and should be in the future. (according to replies on the tweet from Zirene)Comment by biglollol"Erroneous spawns" can literally me interpreted as "they shouldn't spawn" as well as "the spawn times are incorrect" in context of the SoM mechanic of double spawns.

Why not just say it how it is. If it's a bug, call it a bug. If it's a timer error, call it a timer error.Comment by ChangedPepeVery nice and welcome changes! Good work getting constant adjustments on this. Mostly reading negative comments about SoD, but this is definately good. I must agree that the adjustments are somewhat vague, but that means we are having at least something to discover :D Keep it up SoD team Go!Comment by gleepottz"Erroneous spawns" can literally me interpreted as "they shouldn't spawn" as well as "the spawn times are incorrect" in context of the SoM mechanic of double spawns.
