Will there be another balance change next week?

Lykeion · May 2023

As usual, there will be three balance changes during PTS (including the initial release), but the balance change that was supposed to happen in 9.0.2 was postponed to 9.0.3 this week. I'm very concerned if the third balance change will still happen next week (or later) as usual, because there are still many community concerns on PTS.

Can we get some official answers?@ZOS_Kevin

Following this as its a good question, balance changes seem limited this update so far

To be honest, game mechanics wise this chapter is starting to feel like a lost cause:

•Taking world events away from the community at large and turning them effectively into a non queue-able dungeon.

•Actively and assertively widening the dps gap between the upper tier players and mid to low tier players.

•An inexplicable, ambiguous, and unannounced change to detection pot radius. (Is it a bug? Intended change? Who knows? There is zero communication.)

•A new mythic piece that looks like it’s kind of useless to everyone.

I have no idea what the game mechanics team is up to at this point. Can they right this ship in one more patch?

It’s a shame because narrative wise and visually it looks great. But game mechanic wise this chapter is very questionable (and worrying).
