Starsurge Nerf and Blood Moon Event Adjustments - Season of Discovery
Blizzard has shared a list of incoming adjustments coming for Season of Discovery. The main incoming adjustments will be a nerf to Starsurge and a Blood Moon Event change to give 30% health to players during the event.

We are doing an investigation on this now and hope to find a safe solution soon that will help with player concerns around this.In the meantime, we have made some minor tweaks to layer population target numbers (essentially the values that determine when new layers spin up) which we hope will help spread players out across more layers and make the world still feel full but not quite so overpopulated in quest areas.

This isn’t ideal and it’s not a long-term solution, but is a stopgap while we investigate other solutions.Stranglethorn Vale Blood Moon EventWe’ve been having a lot of fun in this event over the weekend, but we definitely recognize that there are a few rough edges we would like to smooth out.
