The quest for the cloak from rank 14 to 15 still require 8 Torn pages of the final truth it did not switch to 2. is still normal?

I agree the whole “we are forcing you to do the cloak questline, even though we know you hate it” is disappointing at best.

I was going to do it though on that character, just after I got some essences first. So what difference would it have made if I did essences then cloak or cloak then essences. I just will do nothing now which is a bizarre business decision on blizzard behalf.

So after the update today, I did a level 15 key and the end chest rewarded only 45 echoes of nyalotha. According to the blue post for today’s update, I assume all drop rates of echoes should be increased 5 times as before. I believe that 3 echoes per key level was the drop rate before the update, it should now be 15 echoes per key level. So did blizzard forgot to change the drop rate for mythic+ or is this a way to prevent us from farming ourselves 8 gushing wounds?

Such a joke, Blizz gave less than 24hrs notice for alts to buy R3 essences. Now it is just a waste of time playing an alt YET AGAIN this expac…

I see everyone griping about having the watered down version of the effort that everyone else had to do in its entirety. The idea the everyone wants everything but doesn’t want to grind for it means you don’t want to play a MMO in the first place. I’m getting annoyed at blizzard gifting all the players who didn’t do crap and want it all while the rest of us had to grind it out. I DO think the 'buff’s or reduced effort should be a soft achievement relegated to ALTS. If I have 7 120s, I don’t want to grind everything, but if I had to do it once or even 3 times don’t discard my effort by practically giving it away a month later to anyone who logs in. You make everything we do in the game meaningless. From the AP catch up mechanics, to all the rng gear that we’re all carrying 50 pieces of gear we don’t know what to do with, but hey wait, you can buy more of it.

Fix your dread wastes starting quest with bowmaster Li first. We cant complete Loremaster without it.

Would it be possible to add Lorewalker Fu, Lorewalker Shin, and Lorewalker Han to the minor assault version of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms? They’re present in the Black Empire version of the zone (and of course the original, pre-8.3 version), and it’s a bit of an annoyance having to talk to Zidormi just to make these NPCs show up.

The problem with the Auction House was not people scanning things, nor people posting things. The problem was with the no lifers who continually cancel and repost items over and over and over and over, in order to be bought first. The more obvious solution here was not to modify the Auction House API, but to put a delay timer on cancelled auctions. If folks got 10 cancelled auctions per minute in the mail, it would not affect folks who have to cancel one or two because they posted at the wrong price, but it would seriously slow down the repeat offenders without affecting people who post a bunch in the morning then leave it for the day.

I would change the “Last in, First out” to a random selection or a system that splits the sell among all the sellers.

I know this might seem to encourage undercutting, but if you place a 50% tax on the over-all sell of an undercutting auction, this should prevent people from this practice. If you really want to make it fun, allow the taxed amount to be distributed among the other sellers. This will also help prevent undercutting.

A secret base line price for items that adjusts with supply and demand should be established to avoid the morons who greatly over price their items hoping for someone to make an error and purchase their items. This also ensures people don’t price gouge in order to screw up someone who post items at a reasonable rate.

In addition you could place a 1 hour post timer on auctions as this will also prevent people from cancelling auctions as it’s sure to upset people who play these little auction games that annoy other players.

Lastly, give players 1 hour to cancel an auction, after that they have to ride out the auction timers.

I have done this skip now three times, and got my mount, but never previously beat her on Mythic.

This may be due to having beaten 8/9M, but it’s certainly not limited to just those who have beaten her on mythic. And even if it was how could you stop someone else who does not have the mythic kill from simply joining their raid?

Blizzard, stop ignoring the post with over 4k views on the issue about time gating the corruption resistance on your cloak due to Malefic Cores needed. It is affecting the biggest portion of your paid subscribers and is only getting worse.

Here are the new hotfixes for the day.

Classes

  • Warlock
    • Demonology
      • The mana cost of Shadow Bolt has been reduced by 25%.
      • The mana cost of Demonbolt has been reduced by 25%.
        • Developers’ note: Demonology Warlocks are running out of mana in prolonged fights when using high levels of Haste so we’re reducing the mana costs of their most frequent rotational spells.

Items and Rewards

  • Corrupted Items
    • [With regional restarts] Players with a Corruption level of 200 or higher will now receive an additional negative effect, Inescapable Consequences, which deals 25% of your maximum health in damage every second while you are in combat.
      • Developers’ note: While Corruption’s damage taken and healing received debuffs are substantial at high Corruption amounts, players possessed of particular ingenuity have constructed strategies allowing them to deal nearly infinite damage during brief windows when they themselves are immune to damage. It’s important to us that players feel like they can play around with how much Corruption they can afford to wear, but we’re setting a hard limit at 200 Corruption – going beyond that, N’Zoth’s dark power will defeat you.

How about a hotfix to where items you get from regular world quests in Zandalar, and Kul Tiras do not corrupt for characters that have not done any of the 8.3 content? I mean getting corrupted stuff is fine for the folks who are enjoying the corruption system gimmick, but there are plenty of other folks who are not enjoying 8.3 or corruption also. You know, like, if you have not done the opening quest to go to Uldum, or the Vale leave the stuff you get from Zandalar, and Kul Tiras alone. Been threads on that made in this forum about it several times since this patch.

Agreed, or even just use the completion of the Quest introducing Wrathion talking to Anduin as the trigger should be sufficient.

How about a Hotfix where you nerf Destro in PvP?

Exactly. I have several characters that have not even talked to what’s her name in Daz alor that sends you to Uldum, and I keep getting corrupted rubbish drops. Especially sucks when a weapon emmisary is up, and you do the wq’s just to have the weapon corrupt to like 50, and can’t use it without it attacking you(just becomes vendor trash) unless you do the mop cloak rehash, and their horrible visions gimmick lol.
