Greetings friends!
To celebrate our 6 months anniversary, Retribution will be launching it's first fabled raid encounter, tomorrow night at 9PM EST! The server will come down at 8:30PM in preparation for this launch and some other important changes (details below)!
To access this raid, each player will need to defeat Quarm AFTER the server comes back up. It's gonna be *hot*.
Additionally, after collecting feedback from new players and veteran players alike over the course of the last six months, some big decisions have been made in terms of gear balance. Beginning tomorrow, Rose Colored gear will now receive 50% of the spell power of its Apocryphal counterpart.
This change should smooth the power curve for the individual player at each tier and generally make the experience before BiS a more enjoyable one.
Furthermore, we have come to the understanding that Wisdom casters/hybrids are at a large disadvantage at different points throughout expansion progression due to itemization and the lack of spell power on Wisdom gear. While MOST spell power will still come from Intelligence, ANY piece of gear that DOES NOT already have a spell power bonus from Intelligence will now receive spell power at 50% the rate from Wisdom.
This change further smooths the power curve across multiple expansions in a great way without adding to end game power creep due to hard caps on total spell power.
We hope that you will join us in cheering on our heroes as they adventure into new, Fabled encounters.
Prospective new player note: there is currently a 25% server wide exp bonus active now through the end of the month!
