Darkmoon Rocketeer and Racing Strider are missing key abilities!

I decided to visit DMF today since it opened and I discovered that the Rocketeer and Racing Strider are each missing one of their key abilities. Based on WoWhead’s database, it seems like the spells may have even been deleted from the game entirely.

Rocketeer is missing (Spell #150228): Speed boost for 5 seconds. Also makes you leap forward slightly and makes you immune to snare. 10 sec cooldown.

Racing Strider is missing (Spell #150288): Lock onto a distant powerup, then warp it to you. This applies to speed boots, springs, teleporters, rockets, and pouches.

The space for the abilities on each racer is still there, but there is no attached spell and pressing/clicking the button does nothing, even when you start a Race. This bug totally breaks the key functionality of both racer options. They were my faves too. It’ll also make it extremely difficult to complete the Racer achievements. Hoping for a fix really soon!

Having the same issue. Trying to complete achievements, finding it rather difficult without said abilities.

Yeah, I managed to get the Racing Strider achievement, but ended up just wasting tokens trying to do Rocketeer without it’s #1 ability

There’s also the problem of the item powerups (sack powerups) not granting the inventory items needed to use certain abilities on the Darkmoon Race vehicles.

For the Wanderluster, it is currently impossible to use Danger Zone because there’s no way to acquire the reagents for the ability.

Same problem

I’m facing exactly the same issue, missing the speel number 01…
Come on blizzards, what is going on? can’t you keep things that are working untouched every patch… stop messing with what is working…

I am having the same problem.

I’m after the pet. I tried several times, but the missing speed boost makes it very difficult. I got silver but not gold. I’m sure I could get it if they fixed the spell.

I also am not seeing the #1 spell on the Rocketeer.

“There’s always next time” Aint that right Blizz? I think you’ve told me that a time or two…

Same issue here, missing buttons on the Darkmoon vehicles and simply cannot complete the Rocketeer without it
