First, this will hit sometime in March. There may be smaller patches until then, but this one is in March. There will be other things in the patch as well, but this post centers around the Nexus. while it will hopefully answer most of your questions, it may also raise questions. We will try to answer what we can, but it probably won't be until closer to the patch time :).
Now onto the changes in the Nexus:
Nexus Opening
• A new announcement will happen in-game 10 minutes before the Nexus opens up. With this announcement, 4 NPC's will spawn at each Nexus location on the map.
• Players will have to manually get the Nexus quest from these NPC's. As long as you are one of the first 120 people to talk to any of the NPC's for that Nexus spawn, you'll get the quest and can participate in that Nexus. (This quest will no longer be automatic)
• All the Nexus you need will spawn from the start, along with the NPCs. The number that spawn will remain the same, and no new ones will spawn once one closes.
Nexus Quest
• As stated earlier, if you are among the first 120 people in the Nexus spawn, you will get the quest. If you leave the Nexus, the quest will be automatically cancelled.
• If you are the 121st player, you can choose to participate and attack the monsters in the Nexus, but you will not get a quest, nor anyrewards or a NT stack.
• The actual quest objectives will remain the same (finish all the stages of the Nexus).
• Everyone must pick up their own quest. Your raid leader can't do this for you.
Inside the Nexus
• Monsters in the Nexus will no longer drop reputation motes. Because of this, quest reward tables will be adjusted accordingly. The amount of Reputation points, Reputation XP, and gold rewards will be heavily increased for each Nexus stage and the Nexus Traverse.
• The Nexus Traverse will now be accessible after closing just one Nexus.
• The debuff for reducing the HP within a Nexus spawn will be removed. All other buffs and debuffs in the Nexus will stay.
Nexus Markers on the Mini-Map
• Markers on the mini map will be adjusted.
• Blue Nexus Symbol - when less than 50% of the receivable Nexus quests are available
• Yellow Nexus Symbol - when somewhere between 51% to 70% of receivable Nexus quests are available.
• Red Nexus Symbol - when somewhere between 71% to 99% of receivable Nexus quests are available.
• A lock icon will be displayed when no more Nexus Quests are available
• The remaining number of Nexus quests will be shown in an exact number. In other words, if there are 55 quests out of the initial 120 available, it will tell you exactly that.
And most importantly. If you finish a Nexus spawn, go finish the Nexus Traverse, you can go finish another Nexus spawn (and its quests if available), if you want to. You will not be able tocomplete another Nexus Traverse, however.
This is all the information we currently have on the Nexus changes for now, though. Please be patient with us in the mean time :).
