*Update: I submitted a ticket shortly after I first post this. I was contacted by a GM today who just mailed my character another copy of the buff, so I have it again. If this was still in the other forum I’d mark it as resolved, but I’m not sure if that’s supposed to happen in the bug report forum.
Hey,
On one of my characters my anniversary buff disappeared. On my other characters it doesn’t seem to have a time limit and seems to suggest that it will last for the duration of the event.
Did I do something wrong here? Is there a way to restore it?
Thanks
*EDIT:
Did some more digging with scripts and I think I’ve confirmed that the buff is simply not present on my warrior (the character that’s missing it).
I made a Weak Aura with the following code to drive a text field…
function()
a = "Buffs:\n"
for i=1,40 do
local name,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,spellID,_,_,_,_,_,absorbAmount,_ = UnitBuff("player", i)
if name == nil then
break
end
a = a .. name .. "\n"
end
return a
end
On my Monk (this character), the text “WoW’s 15th Anniversary” is present in the output. On my Warrior, it is not.
The token disappears once you click it the first time.
Tubbly, check in your bags to see if you actually clicked it on that character. I know when flipping back and forth between toons, I sometimes forget what I’ve done and haven’t done.
If it’s not in your bag, I’d suggest a full UI reset to see if the buff is still there.
Failing that, you should probably open a ticket and clearly explain the issue.
Yea, I just confirmed this on an alt I hadn’t opened the mail on yet
I definitely had it on this character, as soon as earlier today. At some point in the last hour or so, it disappeared. I tried logging out and back in, as well as a ui reload. It appears on my other character.
I’ll open a ticket, I just wanted to check here if anybody else was having issues.
Yeah, it’s a new feature. All the other anniversary tokens persisted and had a limited duration. This year, the buff lasts the whole event, so it consumes the token.
Ah I see. This is highly unlikely as it works fine with other characters. If it was gone on all characters, this would seem more likely, but I’m not super keen on messing up my UI unless it’s a last resort
After completely resetting my UI, the issue persists. The buff is present on all my other characters except the one.
I dug up some lua code to check your character buffs, so I’ll see if I can figure out a way to detect the buff programatically. This should tell me if it’s actually there and just not rendering an icon.
Also, it appears I got moved to the bug report forum.
*Edit: I got the code working to output my buffs. I’ve updated my original post.
Just letting you know how it changed this year.
