ATHENA

Dear players,

starting with the next lockout period (Wednesday, 16.12.2020), we are making adjustments to the raid reductions for Firelands.

At the moment, the values are:

10-man normal damage reduction = 20%
10-man normal heal & absorb reduction = 15%
25-man normal damage reduction = 15%
25-man normal heal & absorb reduction = 15%

10-man heroic damage reduction = 30%
10-man heroic heal & absorb reduction = 25%
25-man heroic damage reduction = 25%
25-man heroic heal & absorb reduction = 20%

We will decrease the values as following:

10-man heroic damage reduction = 25%
10-man heroic heal & absorb reduction = 20%
25-man heroic damage reduction = 20%
25-man heroic heal & absorb reduction = 20%

The normal mode reductions will stay as they are.
We hope that these changes will make the heroic content more accessible for many of you.

We also want to take this opportunity to give you some info regarding MoP.
Since some time already, pretty much all of our developers and testers are fully dedicated to MoP. Obviously this means that we had to decrease the commitment towards Cata as we are a small team and just do not have the resources to take care of multiple expansions at the same time. This is also why you are not seeing any changelogs or recent updates for Cata content. We think that Cataclysm is currently in a great state compared to other projects or even retail Cata. However, we will of course still take care of issues that seem to be game breaking if they appear.

We will keep you updated regarding the MoP development and you can look forward for some more detailed info very soon.

Cheers
Apollo Team
