Do a proper fix up of all timewalking issues now

Remove the level requirements from all mounts obtainable in timewalking.

We can fly and dragonride at level 10, we can timewalk at level 10, but we can’t learn any timewalk dropped mounts due to outdated level requirements from the past which are no longer relevant.

This includes but isn’t limited to:
Deathcharger’s Reins (level 17 required)
Reins of the Drake of the Northwind (level 27 required)
Infinite Timereaver (level 27)

Then we have the recurring problem every time walking event where we can’t interact with things, or loot things, due to outdated level requirement code.

Currently this is End Time dungeon (cataclysm) where we can’t use the teleporter, and get a dungeon deserter debuff if we get queued into this dungeon at low levels. We can’t loot the final chest of Throne of the tides at low level either. There was out of date item level requirements to queue when BC timewalking launched… the pattern needs to stop now.

Look ahead. Open your files for MoP/WoD/Legion timewalking, and fix the code now, today. Ctrl + F search for level requirements and lower them to 10 or remove them completely.

If you don’t we will be back here in bug report forum January 7th yelling at you that we can’t queue into or have bugs with MoP dungeons and loot which are extremely preventable since this pattern of errors is well established now.

On top of this, apply this logic to more things in general.

Another bug that has been repeating for years now happened with Siren’s Isle weekly “world quest” not completing properly.

It is the same bug that happens with every world boss you ever launch since at least as far back as Zereth Mortis. You kill the boss (complete the world quest) and don’t get credit. You then have to leave the area and relog then come back to be awarded credit. This happened again in Dragonflight with Basrikron in waking shores. Happened again in TWW with the giant robot world boss in Isle of Dorn.

How is there not a sticky note on someone’s monitor, or a whiteboard with a reminder, or some notes in the slack project file or any kind of “hey by the way, every time we do this we have to come back and fix it” and have the fix written there ready to implement before the content goes live.

And please get some QA team as well the amount of bugs in The War Within has been utterly ridiculous. Losing guild bank items. Umbral amalgam pet stopped spawning in 11.0.5. Now you remove the pet from the Safari achievement. But now having that safari achievement does grant Waxwick pet reward lmao. It was lazy to not fix the amalagam but just insult to injury to also not reward the pet for completing the achievement without the amalgam.

And then the other recurring bug since way back when you put Purchasable with real money helmet transmogs in the game. Those cosmetics just periodically disappear from your account and can’t be used for an unknown period of time. Same thing happened with Heart of the Aspects store mount and others store items too. And now it happened with the mountain dew promotion.

Same bug. All the mountain dew products just vanish from peoples accounts. Cool. How is this repeating bug not already dealt with / a sticky note / urgent reminder. Some kind of system to stop you making the same mistakes 1,000 times in a row would work wonders!

The Cata TW dungeon bugs is due to the fact Cata normal mode dungeons have never been scaled down to 10-20 like the other expansion zones dungeons, they have always been level 30 minimum due to Cata zones being level 30 min because level 10-29s didn’t get flying until 11.0.

Vitreous Stone Drake mount also has a level 27 required required to add to your account like the Drake of the North Wind and Infinite Timereaver. I’ve not done any Cata TW yet due to the bugs and getting deserter penalty if you get End Time dungeon due to the level 35 bug affecting it but Stonecore is listed as TW dungeon in the Adventure Guide.

Swift White Hawkstrider mount also has a level 17 required to add to your account like Rivendare’s Deathcharger and Magister’s Terrace also was bugged until it was fixed a few days later during TBC TW last month.

Yes but it is functionally the identical bug we had in BC/Wrath timewalking so far, each were also not scaled down to 10-29 before, and had problems.

And it’s the same bug we will get again in MoP and WoD and Legion timewalking, if they don’t use the slightest bit of forethought and fix it now, so we aren’t back here again January 7th yelling about MoP timewalking giving us deserter buffs, no loot, unlearnable mounts, etc etc etc

It is an easily preventable slow moving trainwreck.

Today is MoP TW, next week is WoD TW and the week after is Legion TW, gonna wait and see if any bugs affects 10-29s like what happened in Cata TW.
