The Explosive affix is being removed from WoW Dragonflight <\/em>in the second season of Mythic+ play, Blizzard Entertainment announced<\/a> today. With this change, Blizzard has taken another step in the direction of appeasing the WoW <\/em>community since the Explosive affix was widely accepted as one of the most frustrating affixes to deal with during Mythic+ runs.\u00a0<\/p>
Originally, Blizzard had intended for the Explosive affix to be reworked in the upcoming season. Instead of Explosive orbs being able to be killed off in one hit, a version of the affix was tested on the Dragonflight <\/em>Public Test Realm where orbs would spawn at a heavily decreased rate, but with more HP. In the end, no consensus on the balancing of the affix could be reached, and Explosive will be removed from the Mythic+ affix pool<\/a> for the expansion\u2019s second season.<\/p>

The change has immediately elicited a positive response from the WoW <\/em>player base as fans on the game\u2019s official subreddit<\/a> are lauding the change. \u201cIn all seriousness that is peak game\/software development; you try something new and incorporate feedback and when it turns out people still hate it and it’s not working, you pivot,\u201d one Reddit user said. \u201cI love it. DF <\/em>is really shaping up to be the best expansion ever.\u201d<\/p>
Throughout Dragonflight, <\/em>Blizzard has been listening to WoW <\/em>players at a much higher clip than in previous expansions. Beyond Mythic+ changes, Blizzard has been responding to player feedback in regards to borrowed power systems, transmog farming<\/a>, race-class combinations<\/a>, and other quality-of-life changes that fans have requested. <\/p>
