Cataclysm Classic Hotfixes - November 6

Can the resilience bug get a fix as well? Testing our new talents/abilities in PvP is not enjoyable at all right now.

Something not mentioned cause I dont think many look at… Achievements are still bugged. 50k reads as 50000000000000000. Achievements priorly finished are undone. Specifically tabard achievement, i have 33 tabards but 30 tabard achievement still wont go off. Loremaster is marked off for me, a few places are fully done for quests, the rest reset, but i have no quests or new quests in the areas to complete to re-finish loremaster again. Guild achievements are even more messed up.

Yaaaaas. Majority of the achievements are bugged. This is from someone who had every achievement but the pvp ones pretty much done

I’m praying when I come back in 2 days honour is fixed

Cata pvp was the best and I wanna practise but I can’t really do that atm without getting gapped in gear

Plz some info on resilience/honor!

I was really looking forward to gearing up/pvp for the prepatch but with resilience not working and honor gains being so low…It has basically killed any motivation to do that and I’ve just been leveling an alt instead. Atleast some communication on this issue would be great!

Heroism is still bugged among so many other things… blood queen not biting people and on and on…

You guys have more than 3 weeks of fixes at this rate…

Seeing now that the CTA for eye of the storm gives 90 for a win and 15 honor for a loss. Alterac Valley still gives better honor than CTA on average (assuming 50% winrate) and is way faster, so even if Random Battleground bonus was working the tuning still seems very off. Didn’t a loss previously give 25% of a win in wrath rather than 16.7% now?

I feel like you should be able to tell the tuning is off whenever AV is the most popular bg without it being AV weekend. It should signal that people are skipping the thing they want to do (fight other players) to do something they don’t want to do (run north/south for 4 minutes) simply because the rewards make the former feel like a waste of time.

Nothing wrong with complaining about an entire aspect of the game, and one of the most fun things to do on prepatch, being completely broken bro.

I love how you had the forsight to put it here, but we have two paid employee’s who thought it wasn’t worth a mention because we don’t matter.

Can you give us insight on why we have yet to see a honor change in cata? for retention and play testing purposes, you would want everyone out pvping to thoroughly make sure spells are not bugged and interactions work as intended. Just to clairfy you are a blizzard employee?

80 bg wins to get honor capped. and honor cap is 4k, and tier pieces are 1k, off pieces are 2k. weapons are 2.5k. LETS DO SOME MATH. 5 tier pieces, 7 off pieces, 1.5 weapons. 5k + 14k + 3k = 22,000. If 80 bg wins = 4k honor (cap) you need to get capped 5.5 times. 80 x 5.5 = 440. So, I need to win 440 bgs to get wrathful gear.

Today’s hotfixes update:

May 3, 2024

Cataclysm Classic

  • Fixed a bug causing Hunters to do trap dropping animations twice.
  • Account wide pet collection achievements now correctly grant rewards.
  • Fixed an issue preventing Bloodlust and Heroism from working as intended.
  • Mounting the Violet Proto Drake now grants Master Riding to players who are at least level 80 and have Artisan Riding trained.
  • Heal-over-time and damage-over-time ticks should now behave as intended in Cataclysm when refreshed.
    • Developers’ notes: Previously, refreshing a DoT just before it finished its last tick could cause it to miss out on a tick. That was the correct behavior in Wrath of the Lich King, but not Cataclysm.
  • Holidays
    • The Children’s Week holiday is now extended for one additional week.
    • “Ridin’ The Rocketway” can now be completed.
    • Craggle Wobbletop and Blax Bottlerocket now sell Yellow and Green Balloons for Children’s Week.
    • Darkmoon Faire will be closed until the launch of Cataclysm, when it will return with the newly updated Darkmoon Faire Island.

Any idea on what might happen for those who have bugged digsites from before the archeology fix? Some of us are really screwed over here.

Thank you for the continued communication, y’all doing a lot better.

So we’re going into the weekend with no fixes for main driving content like honor gains. this is shaping up to be the end of classic going forward.

Just want to point out that you cannot complete Ridin the Rocketway yet. Unless I’m just completely missing something here.

Also confirming that Ridin the Rocketway is NOT completing. You have it listed as being able to be completed in your update for today, but it isn’t working on Live servers. Please address the issue and remove it from the list of Fixed Items. The Holiday posting states that Children’s Week has been extended for another week, so are we looking at your staff needing at least that long to address these holiday issues?

And for those saying Holidays aren’t important content, I’m sure they are for collectors and those working on the Long, Strange Trip meta. Since the holidays have a limited timeframe to be completed in, people working on those want/need to get them done now, not a month from now when the main part of Cata goes live. (not me, I’ve completed it and just am looking for some low-hanging fruit for extra pets and guild rep, so don’t shoot the messenger)

You also say that * Account wide pet collection achievements now correctly grant rewards.* But they are not granting the rewards. Both Nuts and the Brilliant Kaliri are not in my pet collection.

Often times hotfixes are posted before they actually go through. The balloons also aren’t on the specified vendors.
