One of the core mechanics of Broken Shore gameplay is that of acquiring Legionfall War Supplies to put towards constructing buildings, which in turn unlock various content and bonuses. Recently, we’ve begun to notice that some players have begun stockpiling their Legionfall War Supplies in order to use them at a later time. While this is fine to some degree, if it were to become a more widespread behavior, it could have severely negative effects on the rate at which buildings are constructed, thereby preventing those bonuses and content pieces from being made available.

Therefore, on Thursday, April 6 at roughly 8 PM CEST, we’ll be applying a hotfix that will reduce the maximum amount of Legionfall War Supplies a player can stockpile to 1000. This will ensure that building construction can proceed at a regular pace, while still allowing you to keep hold of several turn-ins worth of War Supplies if you like.

Note that, when this hotfix is applied, any Legionfall War Supplies you have over the cap of 1000 will be lost. If you’re currently carrying more than that, please make sure to turn those extra War Supplies in before Thursday.

Patch 7.2 Hotfixes

Blizzard

HotfixesBroken Shore

Our Valarjar allies have deployed grapple points in key locations on Broken Shore.
Broken Shore Rare Elite icons will now appear on the Broken Shore map even when the player is not currently in the Broken Shore.
Creatures other than Rare Elites and Sentinax Lieutenants no longer drop Nethershards for players who are in a raid group.
Rare Elites now fewer Sentinax Beacons.
Portal enemies should now drop their beacon type much more often.
Sentinax Lieutenants should drop multiple beacons for every player, allowing a quick restart after the break.
Sentinax Lieutenants now drop many more Nethershards when slain.
Sentinax cool-down time lowered to 3 minutes (was 5 minutes).

Developers' notes: These changes are aimed at aligning the pacing of the Sentinax area without significantly changing the rewards. Upgraded portals should feel more special, portal beacons more scarce, and the final boss for each round of Sentinax activity should be a more welcome sight. Since tapping rules and behaviors of large raids of players don't present a good experience for nearby parties of five or fewer, and especially solo players who might come along, the change to drops for raid groups is intended to allow everyone more opportunities to tap enemies.

Classes

Hunter

(Hotfix in testing) Feet of Wind should now properly suppress movement speed reduction effects, as intended.

Rogue

From the Shadows no longer breaks Vanish.

Dungeons and Raids

(Hotfix in testing) Creatures in Mythic Keystone dungeons that do not proc Bolstering on death should also no longer summon Explosive Orbs.
Corrected the Premade Group Finder difficulty display from "Mythic+" to "Mythic Keystone", for consistency and easier searching.
Cathedral of Eternal Night

Agronox

Succulent Lashers now have significantly less health in Mythic difficulty.
Succulent Secretion now does much less damage in Mythic difficulty.
Poisonous Spores now hits for slightly less, and is limited to 5 stacks in Heroic and Mythic difficulties.
Fulminating Lashers can now be stunned or snared.

To be honest all of this "cheesing and brewmaster" thing sounds either like you're totally not aware of the fact that a lot of tank classes are able to cheese different mechanics or just like a bad excuse to make some changes to BRM for no reason.

Divine ShieldFel ScythePurifyPlease explain exactly how Guardians are being adjusted. We are all extremely interested to hear what your plans are for them. If you're planning on making a thread specifically for them please tell us so we can keep an eye out for one.going to be disappointed if I waste some of the effect on DoT overlap (if this does stack).Breath of FirePurifyStaggerStaggerStagger

Comment by tazeelI fear this will just make things worst....Comment by PawsUpGamingNew to posting to wowhead. but I just wanted to point this out "Rare Elites now fewer Sentinax Beacons." what does this mean exactly?Comment by AlecinoNew to posting to wowhead. but I just wanted to point this out "Rare Elites now fewer Sentinax Beacons." what does this mean exactly?Comment by ZeeyazNew to posting to wowhead. but I just wanted to point this out "Rare Elites now fewer Sentinax Beacons." what does this mean exactly?dropComment by ONCHEhapI feel like any nerfs to tank specs are out of place and unjustified as long as bear is not getting nerfed to the ground

I'm not even a brewmaster,I'm playing one of the 3 meme tank specs,but I still say that,let the monks alone for now and focus on the real issue right now,Guardian druidsComment by InterestNot the worst way of handling Sentinax, but I really wish faction tagging was addressed. Was already an annoyance with WQ that basically translates to "buy a faction change" on imbalanced servers which feels like borderline extortion. As I've probably mentioned, Sentinax exacerbates this issue and I fear for Legion invasions since it felt great to work with Alliance players there.Comment by TuckletutsDon't think it was a bad thing allowing players to bank resources. Given the time it takes to get the towers up, that they only last 3 days and that the current Mage tower challenge is beyond 99% of players capabilities/gear, then it's 100% understandable that players want to hold on to the resources for a time when they're actually useful. Making changes such as these is only going to discourage players from doing the Broken Shore less than they were.Comment by uparrowI always turned in my Legionfall Resources once I hit 100 or more, but I understand not every player does so. I am just curious what is the reasoning behind stockpiling resources? Is it to wait out a new Artifact Knowledge increase to get a few thousand more Artifact Power? I just want to know.Comment by trestThe reason I was first stockpiling was to save for the Darkmoon Faire rep bonus buff.
Then, once I realized turn-ins could also grant artifact power, I decided to wait for later in Darkmoon Faire week to get the bonus of having one more Artifact Knowledge level.Comment by ElveenI always turned in my Legionfall Resources once I hit 100 or more, but I understand not every player does so.

Mage Tower is up and the other 2 buildings are progressing at a snail pace, when in ~2 days people can contribute to mage tower again, the progress on the rest will halt to a standstill, you can't just "blame the hoarders" because I bet that was a small minority of the playerbase.

Damnit, I just wanted my world bosses and maybe ability to craft the legendaries, at this rate it will take a month to see the building up. It's at ~30% after a week and that's only because people can't donate to Mage Tower, it was ~10% before that...Comment by jimbobausMost ppl dont whant anything but mage tower, so while it active they just stockpille and wait till it expire, so they can get next ASAPComment by GronkerRegarding stockpiling supplies, I'd wager it has nothing to do with building construction and everything to do with pooling the turn-ins for later ranks of artifact knowledge. Supply sources are finite, so waiting 5, 10 or even 20 days to spend them would result in far greater AP gains for time spent. I've certainly considered this, but have stopped caring about maximizing the rewards for my time spent in the game.

That said, holding onto resources--for whatever reason--does impact the gameplay of every single player in the region. It's a first try for something like this, so I'm not surprised the change was overly harsh.Comment by TruweilRegarding stockpiling supplies, I'd wager it has nothing to do with building construction and everything to do with pooling the turn-ins for later ranks of artifact knowledge.

Im kinda surprised bears being without a doubt the strongest tank for so long. Another thing that comes in my mind is if the skillcap for brewmaters will be changed as well. They are (IMHO) the hardest tank to play correctly and if they wont change the skill required but remove the "best thing about them" why to even pick them. And bears are the opposite. You can do basically anything and if you got rage you will be good. Great healing, godlike mitigation, increased healing on them, mountains of health, a lot of space for mistakes. It easy, is effective.
Im not the best brewmaster and some may argue Im not even good brewmaster but I love that spec and I dont want it to get lost between high skill required and low effectivness. I hope blizzard you will make the right choice and it is time to throw away the picture of guardian druid on your office desk.Comment by GordonBuchatI hope Blizz goes out of their way to announce that cap of 1000 coming Thursday to the Legionfall War Supplies. Otherwise the QQ on the forums when people find that they suddenly lost a ton of resources is not going to be pretty. And given the somewhat rough start to patch 7.2 content, that's the last thing either Blizz or the players need at this point.Comment by robbiedehandthey need to get rid of the whole resourch crap needed for buildings or just not give an option wich you pick but have all 3 in a rotationComment by ONCHEhapOne thing people don't realise is that some people just don't want to help others in any ways,I've encountered quite a few people who said "this benefits other and not just me,so I'm not going to contribute at all" Which is just sad and disgusting.No matter what Blizzard does some people will always go out of their way to not help othersComment by SarthoriusWhat I really don't get is why the building progress is so slow, even after the initial hotifixes.
