A brand new affix has hit the Midnight beta, aimed at helping players learn routing through the dungeons!
No Death Timer Penalty and Highlighted Route
Lindormi’s Guidance is the new affix aimed at players learning Mythic+, and especially the routes to take through the dungeons. First off, it prevents deaths from adding a timer penalty. But also highlights certain enemies to guide players through a simple dungeon route. The marked enemies are slightly easier to kill, with a 5% HP and damage debuff. The mark also means that when all of them are killed in the dungeon, they fulfill 100% of the Enemy Forces count!
The goal is to offer players a basic path through lower keys, from +2 to 5. It certainly won’t be a competitive route, as it’s just intended to ease players in and provide a common goal as players warm up in a new season. This will also move Xal’atath’s Bargain affixes to key levels 5+.
Greetings!
In this week’s beta build, we’re introducing a new Mythic+ affix designed to support players who are learning dungeon routing: Lindormi’s Guidance. When Midnight Season 1 begins, this affix will be active in Mythic+ levels 2–5.
While Lindormi’s Guidance is active, certain non-boss enemies will be afflicted with Temporal Sands, visually highlighting them and reducing their health and damage done by 5%. Defeating these marked enemies will fulfill 100% of the Enemy Forces count, providing a basic route through the dungeon. Additionally, the affix also prevents player deaths from reducing the timer.
Our goal with Lindormi’s Guidance is to help players learn a reliable dungeon route while they’re still getting comfortable with the seasonal dungeons. We also hope this affix makes it easier for groups to align on a route in the early levels of Mythic+. These routes are not intended to be optimal for higher-end play. Instead, they’re meant to serve as a foundation for groups learning the dungeons before pushing deeper into Mythic+.
Additionally, to support this new affix, we’ll also be shifting the starting point of the Xal’atath’s Bargain affixes one level deeper into the system, from Mythic+ level 4 to Mythic+ level 5.
We’d appreciate feedback on how well Lindormi’s Guidance supports players as they learn new Mythic+ dungeons.
What do you think of the new affix? Will it get used at all?
