Still unable to locate Elder Gwenna, after completing the entire quest line.

There is a bug in the War Campaign quest “They Move Against Us” and all subsequent quests that occur in Orgrimmar. Having the quest “Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons” triggers phasing such that it won’t allow you to complete the quests. Abandoning the Shadowlands quest fixes the phasing, but the quest automatically re-appears after ~20 seconds, making it exceedingly difficult to finish the quests, especially the one “Traitors in Our Midst” where you have to kill Eitrigg. Not being able to complete this final storyline will prevent you from attaining the title “Veteran of the Fourth War.”

23

Apparently still not fixed or whatever fix was implemented is not working. Can’t solo most Legion raids. Update?

Hello this is still occurring in game, barbed with stomp talented causes 2 wild spirits hits

29

I’m going to assume you’re trolling.

30

A change that wasn’t listed here, Runeblade of Baron Rivendare - “requires level 49 or lower” There’s zero reason it should be this way now. ZERO! I’m so upset anyone thought this item needed any change what so ever, this is just unwarrented attrition on convenience and fun.

Stealth nerfed Sun Nov. 29th from 100% to 70% in PvP instances, but didn’t make the hotfixes for the 30th. Intended change or mistake?
