i’ve encountered numerous bugs while exploring non-current content in my quest to get caught up. bugs that have reports going back years. i will update this post as i encounter/remember more, but two that are on my mind currently are…
Mists of Panderia Campaign cannot be completed. the kirin tor offensive chapter will not complete with the when you finish champions of the thunder king. meaning you are permanently stuck at 9/10 chapters complete. i had read someone speculating that it was a result of progress being reset daily being a weekly quest that requires limited drop items to complete. i disproved this by saving enough tokens to do all three bosses back to back in one sitting, and it still didnt complete. the only positive is that this does not seem to affect any achievements. although for any completionist the 9/10 on your map every time you open it is infuriating. this issue has been outstanding for at least 2 years as far as i can tell.
second, the two world bosses in gorgrond in dreanor do not drop any loot. being both Drov the Ruiner, and Tarina the Ageless. while they dont have anything particularily noteworthy in their loot tables (no mounts, pets, toys) that fact that this bug seems to be at least four years old demonstrates a genuine lack of giving a crap about the overall quality of the game.
as i said, i will update this post as i recall/encounter more. there were several more, but since i was one of those trapped in BFA phasing after doing the exile’s start with my new character, i was preoccupied with that since it had essentially bricked me, and didnt note of ‘lesser’ issues. and while i am grateful it was fixed, that issue persisted since spring, and affected EVERY new player who did exile’s reach. on both factions.
and one final thought while im ranting… what is the point of having a ‘hyperlink’ button in this interface when you cannot share links or images? would certainly make bug reports better in every possible way if you could, you know, show the bug in question.
