5.0 on the Horizon

by Jezeria, 281 days ago

The first stage of Panda Land seems destined to hit 8/28. My understanding and supposition is that this will include new talents and various other mechanic changes in preparation for the launch of actual Panda land on 9/25. (I hope i have the dates right.)

The 8/28 update will result in instance resets, so our extended Blackwing raid, where we are working on H Nef will end. By the way, 8/21 is kill H Nef day. I also presume we will be "OP" on 8/28 through 9/25 as a result of changes made to balance things at L90 not at L85. "OP" in this case would mean oddly powered. The changes will likely upset various apple-carts making some specs better than they are today and others worse. Getting things straight on 8/28 may be interesting.

I am planning on focusing on H Nef next week (8/21) and then a return to DS on (8/28) so we can try our new abilities in a familiar environment and perhaps drop some new H mode boss(es). The 3 raid weeks before Panda in September are TBD on objectives.

H.Zon'ozz Makes Four

H.Zon'ozz fell last night (6/27) to an onslaught from our (mostly) cloth wearing raid. Having half the raid wearing cloth and only one each in Plate/Chain is making for some unhappy gear drops, but it 'tis progress.
