Any fixes for the massive lag spikes/unplayability due to the invasion areas or the interface issues happening in the Ulduman dungeon (beating a boss toggles off party frames, they are then gone until you defeat the following boss when they come back, and repeat)

Do you feel my pain Bliz? Do you know how boring repetitive quests are? Do you have brain?

Is there any plan for a hotfix on Back From the Beyond before it is removed? There are multiple threads here on the forums with 100+, 200+ responses, with people missing quests for Abominable Lives that haven’t been available for over a month now. For whatever reason the decision was made to include the Necrolords full Meta achievement when all other covenants required a secular achievement. There is only a single reset left for players to get what they’re missing when they’ve already completed 20+ quests… are players really going to be screwed over because the decision was made to have these quests spawn randomly each week?

I had this issue with my evoker, but also had the issue where some abilities that are usually grayed out until a certain condition is met (swiftmend and kill shot for example) would stay grayed out even if they should not be, primarily in dungeons. Evoker was near constant and for all abilities on the main bar.

Crafting is jacked right now. Enchanting vellum is broken. It doesn’t
matter if I disable all my addons, use the crafting window, or try to directly enchant the vellum, it fails & gives me the, “Target is too low level,” notice. Jewelcrafting is messed up, too. If you try using an optional reagent to increase the item level, it vanishes from the window after the first craft. If you try to put it back in the window, it immediately clears again. You just have to craft hoping it will work.

Also, so very glad to see the bug that deletes custom ui layouts is still a friggin’ thing, now to spend the next 30 minutes getting things recombobulated to the way I had them last night because you guys are more focused on nerfing fun than fixing issues that actually affect peoples ability to play the freaking game
