The first major hotfix for WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria went live. There is now significantly more Bronze and enemies don’t hit as hard anymore.
The first days at WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria were quite wild. Some abilities took heroes down with a single hit, while others exploited a glitch to earn hundreds of thousands of Bronze in just a few hours.
The biggest issues were quickly addressed by Blizzard with a hotfix. There has now been an explanation of what else has changed. The summary: More Bronze and more loot for everyone.
What has changed? Blizzard has made a number of adjustments to WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria to improve the gaming experience. Through a hotfix (that is already live), the following changes have been made:
- The scaling of enemies is now less aggressive, especially between levels 40 and 70.
- Equipment now drops much more frequently from Rares, Elite Rares, and Quests (reward chests).
- The first visit to each LFR wing now grants a 7% XP buff for the cloak, so leveling goes faster after the LFR.
- Bosses in scenarios and dungeons now drop experience points.
- Bosses in scenarios and dungeons now drop more prismatic gems.
- All Bronze chests now drop 25% more Bronze.
What was the problem? The scaling of mobs was an issue, especially between levels 60 and 70. In the first two days, it was almost necessary to upgrade all your gear after every level up beyond 60, as enemies could quickly knock you out.
Now, the scaling is a bit milder and only increases the strength of enemies with your rising item level (up to level 342). If you raise the item level beyond that, only your power increases, while the enemies remain at the same level.
What do the changes mean? In plain language, the changes result in more positive aspects:
- You receive more Bronze from Bronze chests. A chest that previously gave 1,000 Bronze now grants 1,250 Bronze.
- You receive more equipment that you can use or break down for Bronze.
- Enemies at the later levels are no longer as strong and can be defeated more easily.
Overall, the gaming experience of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is now much smoother. Those who are unhappy that they have already redeemed many Bronze chests can repeat the successes on other characters. This is especially beneficial, as additional characters start with an improved cloak. Because right now, the mode is just fun.
How do you like WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria so far? Are you satisfied with the mode or is the spark not igniting?
