Highlights

  • The latest WoW hotfix has raised the Cloak of Infinite Potential cap to 10 million, making players crazy powerful.
  • Mists of Pandaria Remix offers a unique experience without raid stress, letting players go wild with power.
  • Some players are unhappy with Blizzard's balance changes in the event and hope for cheaper gear upgrades.

The latest World of Warcraft hotfix has dramatically raised the attribute cap for the Cloak of Infinite Potential, allowing players to reach even greater levels of power. While Mists of Pandaria Remix was designed to be a bridge between the final Dragonflight patch and The War Within, the event has been positively received by the World of Warcraft community as its own thing. It allowed players to experience one of the best World of Warcraft expansions without stressing too much about raid performance or class balance.

The main appeal in Mists of Pandaria Remix is the Cloak of Infinite Potential, as it allows any player to become absurdly overpowered. This has allowed classes such as Monk to clear a World of Warcraft dungeon in 50 seconds, break the number cap on a Guardian Druid, or even kill essential NPCs well before their time. However, despite being called the Cloak of Infinite Potential, its stats were capped to a rather finite value of 200,000.

Due to the wild power level in Mists of Pandaria Remix, a group of players cause a major butterfly effect in World of Warcraft by killing Garrosh.

In a recent hotfix reported by Wowhead, this limit has been raised from 200,000 to a whopping 10 million, which players will no doubt struggle to reach. The new 10 million cap applies to all stats on the Cloak of Infinite Potential, and it should be noted that Blizzard has no plans to reduce the upgrade cost on gear in Mists of Pandaria Remix. The end date for the event is August 19, 2024, and many World of Warcraft players strongly suspect that the next expansion will release shortly after.

Should Blizzard Nerf Gear Upgrade Costs in Mists of Pandaria Remix?

Though obtaining Bronze in Mists of Pandaria Remix can be a hassle, the World of Warcraft community has rediscovered old farming methods to make the grind less grueling. A key criticism of the event has been Blizzard's willingness to nerf these farming methods in order to stagger the acquisition of cosmetics and gear upgrades. While the developers should strive to keep the gameplay balanced, some players argue that Mists of Pandaria Remix was billed as a temporary event – one that didn't care about balance, and instead was about letting fans go wild.

The game of whack-a-mole between developers and the community in Mists of Pandaria Remix has soured the mood of some players, who feel that Blizzard is making too many changes to a game mode that is meant to be short-lived. While raising the limit on the Cloak of Infinite Potential is a step in the right direction, World of Warcraft fans are still hoping that Blizzard reconsiders its stance on whether gear upgrades should be cheaper. After all, every single Mists of Pandaria Remix character will have their inventories wiped on August 19, and their Cloak of Infinite Potential will be retired.
