Fandy's Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream Interview - Morgan Day & Patrick Scarborough
07.09.2023 - 19:37 / wowhead.com / Morgan
As part of the Patch 10.2 reveal, streamer Fandy interviewed Assistant Game Director Morgan Day and Senior Game Designer (Rewards) Patrick Scarborough, discussing Guardians of the Dream!
As always, this is a brief highlight of the topics discussed. Be sure to check out the full video for additional context.
Gear Progression Changes in 10.2
- Very pleased with the universal upgrade system. Coming back tentatively full-time.
- Quicker ilvl progression than in previous content patches, but still a lot of positives.
- Reducing the amount of upgrades you can make per week. 10 upgrades in Season 2 vs 6 upgrades in Season 3.
- Making the tracks larger for smoother late-patch progression.
- Fragments are going away, so you'll only need the currency to upgrade now. Bag space for everyone!
- If capped on a certain type of crest, players will now receive the crest just below that one when completing content.
Aberrus & Amirdrassil Raid Tuning
- Very connected to the Gear Upgrade system. Players hit gear saturation point much earlier than previous content patches.
- Better understanding of these upgrade systems and gear progression should lead to smoother difficulty tuning.
Rare Items in Amirdrassil & Loot Targeting
- Rare items will be continuing in Amirdrassil. Like how it improves farm bosses.
- At launch they were too powerful and too rare. Pendulum swung the other way for 10.1. Should be interesting and not just the best items in the game.
- Hope to land in that sweet spot of where everyone has something they're interested in.
- We hear a lot of feedback on loot targeting. Shadowlands Season 4 was an experiment that they'll continue to explore, but it's not something they have lined up for Dragonflight Season 3.
Augmentation Evoker & Community Reception
- Overall, adding a spec mid-expansion went over well. Many players enjoyed the support playstyle. Happy with reception.
- Tuning was more interesting. Players were very creative with how they utilized Augmentation and they launched the spec when they did for that reason.
- Feedback is still being listened to and they'll continue to make changes in Patch 10.2.
- Not closing the door on other support classes as there's a lot of opportunities, but it's not something they're looking at for Patch 10.2.
Mythic Raid Size
- If a change were to be mythic raid size, it'd almost certainly happen at an expansion boundary rather than a content patch.
- Felt like they hit the sweet spot with flex scaling while still maintaining that Mythic difficulty static size. Consistent over recent expansions.
- 20 players still allows for a lot of variety and flexibility. Encounter designers can design with certain utility in mind. (eg. Painsmith & Warlock Gateway)
- Still discussed every expansion.

Dead by Daylight Bugfix Patch 7.2.3 Turns the Lights Back on for Alongside Flashlight Perks
Behaviour Interactive has today released Dead by Daylight Bugfix Patch 7.2.3. Usually, these bugfixes don’t change too much in the game because they’re meant for small, ad-hoc changes for things that might break a player’s experience. However, today’s patch is slightly more potent.

Series creator outlines vision for the dream Fallout remake
Fallout Remake. Personally, I think this might be the most potent combination of words in videogaming. The influence of the Interplay RPG game from 1997 is hard to overstate. From its superb sequel, to Fallout 3, New Vegas, Fallout 4, and all the connective tissue of Skyrim and Starfield, Fallout represents an evolutionary leap forward in the PC role-playing game. Now, with rumors swirling about Fallout 3 Remastered, the creator of the original apocalyptic adventure outlines a personal vision for a hypothetical Fallout remake. Between Starfield DLC and The Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda is pretty busy right now, but this sounds so good, maybe, just maybe, it could become a reality.

Is Unity getting into the dream-killing business?
Since speaking with Unity Create president Marc Whitten about the poorly-received Unity Runtime Fee, I have tried to take him and the company in good faith. However, with the repeated clarifying statements and changes to the Fee that the company has made this week, that's become harder and harder with each passing minute.

Pros And Cons Of The Dream Home Trait In Starfield
's Dream Home is pretty, but comes at a cost. When they start a new save, players can pick a Religion, Background, and up to three Traits. These all have their pros and cons, but none are more balanced than Traits. Each Trait can give a character a major advantage, but also comes with a disadvantage. It's up to the player to decide what their run might look like, determining which skills they can sacrifice and which they should buff. The Dream Home Trait is a unique one, however, in that it doesn't affect any stats at all.

Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope Raid Skip in Patch 10.2
It appears that the upcoming Dragonflight Patch 10.2 raid: Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope, will feature an unlockable raid skip similar to tiers before it. Fragment of Emberscar is a line of quest items dropped by the Smolderon <the Firelord>, which serves as the third to last ordered boss, before Tindral Sageswift and Fyrakk. Although we haven't seen the associated quest yet, it seems to work exactly like those of previous tiers — with players acquiring multiple of these Fragments over several weeks of defeating Smolderon on each difficulty.
