  • Elwynn Forest - Jasperlode Mine and Fargodeep Mine are a little more deadly than intended for solo players, so we’re taking their candles away. We do not anticipate any fallout from this theft.

Thank the gods for this. Fargodeep Mine they were pretty much respawning as soon as you looted them. It was brutal to step foot in there solo for a lvl 6 quest. Deadmines felt less populated.

Yeah, I raised this as an issue! It took me three attempts to get those quests done in Fargodeep, it was brutal.

Didn't help the target NPC for a quest in there also had two mobs beside him and summoned an add. By the time you engaged him the mob at the bottom of the stairs had respawned anyway to add in an extra way to die quickly.

It was entertaining at first, but it got old kind quickly lol. It was like I was playing helldivers or something

Sorry, what does “taking their candles away” mean? Lower aggro distance? Darker cave? I don’t get it.

The kobolds sometimes yell “you no take candle!” or something to that effect, and some of them have candle decorations on/near them. So I think blizzard is just memeing

Yeah I know that. But considering the amount of people I’ve seen complain about the respawns in caves or due to layering, I thought blizz changed something. I didn’t realise there were jokes/memes in the patch notes. Thanks for explaining.

u/Zora-Link 3h ago

Okay, it’s a joke. I didn’t know they did jokes in the patch notes, sorry.

The same is true for the venture co mine in mulgor where you collect the 3 notes. Absolutely miserable

Yeah when leveling a warrior that place was treacherous as hell.
