The end of 5 badge Mech runs...

[Dorvan]

From the latest PTR build:

Tempest Keep: The Mechanar
• The Mechanar: The Cache of the Legion can now only be looted by players who are present during some portion of a successful attempt of the Gatewatcher Gyro-Kill and Gatewatcher Iron-Hand encounters. In addition, on Heroic difficulty Gatewatcher Gyro-Kill and Gatewatcher Iron-Hand no longer drop Badges of Justice. Instead, the Cache of the Legion contains a Badge of Justice for each player present.

Means we still have to kill those bloody gatekeeper mobs but the reward is cut in half... wtg Blizzard, I love you.

[Tiandelin]

It also means people might be a little more interested in running other heroics. I would not be sad if I never saw the Mechanar again.

Oh well, you'll be getting craptons out of Kara/ZA.

[Tresjynn]

Heroic Botanica should still have 5. I liked AoEing in that place better anyway.

[Worldie]

I never go heroic mech since i'm sick of that place, so not a big loss for me.

Its not even exactly the best for tankadins anyway.

So Heroic Mech goes from an easy 5 badges to an easy 4 badges. Not much different since half the groups I see don't get the mage dead and end up with 4 for the run.

Except that now they'll end up with 3.

3 bosses + 1 in the Cache = 3? Re-read the change =)

Way to miss your own point

What's 5 badges (the original number for completing a full clear of heroic mech) - 2 (taking 2 badges off the mini-bosses) + 1 (adding a badge to the cache)?

This thread delivers unexpected humor

Half your groups will now get 3 is the point Tiandelin and others are trying to make to you.
