Season of Discovery Hotfixes - January 14

When you guys did this your method was flawed. If someone purchased a duplicate set item you guys deleted every duplicate of that item they had without respect to when it was obtained.

This impacted me, I picked up a duplicate set to the full T2 set I already had thinking it would be fun to mess with runes- then when the server alert went out saying that they would be removed I said ok cool, and sold them back to the vendor. The following day I went and purchased an additional bracer from the undermine vendor in booty bay. Then come Tuesday all my T2 was deleted. This wasnt the ptr vendor stuff, this was boss drops that I have had for months.

I have been instructed by customer service in ticket 102612953 to put up a post here for fixing. This is for SOD.

I get taking away the stuff from the PTR vendor and I am fine with that but the way this was done with hard-earned drops being removed is a huge gut punch and these drops need to be restored.

This log was from the month before the purge and shows me wearing the gear that got deleted; WCL report id: W7gt6AFLdXxrpYaB though I am positive that Blizzard can independently confirm I had these items.

The hotfix above was implemented to make it so that the Mixology benefit (where an Alchemist could create 2-5 flasks if they had completed the required quest) now works correctly. It was not working before, due to the stack limitation.

Your local Alchemist was not holding out on you, they just weren’t getting procs until the fix above was implemented.

Season of Discovery

  • Added a Rune Broker vendor to every starting area. This vendor will provide access to all class runes at level 1.
    • Developers’ notes: Some discoveries in the game world may not function properly if you learn the related rune ability from items purchased on this vendor.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Ring Specialization runes from being available on Rune Brokers.
  • Increased the drop rates of Hive Thistle, Small Obsidian Shards, and Large Obsidian Shards in Silithus and Ahn’Qiraj. Every herb node in Silithus is now guaranteed to have 2-4 Hive Thistle. All Large Obsidian nodes now always have 1-2 Large Obsidian Shards and 3-5 Small Obsidian Shards. All Small Obsidian nodes now always have 2-4 Small Obsidian Shards and a (larger than before) chance of a Large Obsidian Shard.
    • Developers’ notes: These changes only apply to new spawns of the nodes, so until every node has been re-spawned, there may still be some that behave as they did before the change.
  • Temple of Ahn’Qiraj
    • Fixed an issue that caused the Twin Emperors to continue spawning Eye Tentacles after combat had expired.
    • Fixed an issue that caused the Twin Emperors to fail to respawn.

How about you fix the encounter with hardmode twin emps where you can not disable hardmode

Hello,

It seems the Scarab Brooch trinket does not work for mage healing. I made a bug report about this after winning the trinket from raid on my alt mage and finding out that it doesn’t work at all. I see that it was looked at for Paladin’s Divine Light. Could someone please look at it for Mage healing?

An r14 warrior can do nothing to either r14 resto druid shaman or holy paladin w high stamina

Crit damage even with recklessness hits for 1k when their hp is 10k buffed

Literally you can’t out damage even the instant heals and HOTs, and that’s with reck

The hotfix changes are already out, it did absolutely nothing in pvp because a warrior is doing half of the damage it should. We literally need a 100% damage increase for pvp

While all other classes already have this burst factor and more with full cc’s

I’d say just buff sunder armor to a percentage based reduction

5 stacks = 50% armor penetration

And then scale more attack power 15% to both rend and deep wounds

This will fix all of the issues of warriors hitting for nothing in pvp, And wont change pve charts at all, which other classes are insecure of

The original armor value based sunder armor, is actually mechanically broken. It does very little vs high armor targets, but does too much vs cloth targets

Bleed damages are also so weak it’s actually a useless type of broken, because all other sod classes have gotten hyper burst damage in pvp

And I’m not talking about a rune, I’m talking a real fix on the abilities

That is indeed the perfect fix, but a warrior would still fall short on pvp since sunders and bleeds takes some time to put on. But like you mentioned before, blood craze also needs to get buffed to 9% and hp regeneration rune should also be doubled to 60% hp. Just because sod bursts are crazy and blood craze was already quite weak back in era. The era version of blood craze is nothing in sod, fights don’t even last 6 seconds here

Neat, now let us buy Molten Core recipes from the vendor already.

Can you make it so that we can swap pieces across roles? I’d love if I can trade in my tank gear for DPS gear and vice-versa. I’d still have to pay for new enchants and AQ scarabs/idols.

Hey can you guys please fix the AQ mounts it lets you cast the mount bar when youre in combat then triggers a gcd on it?? im not sure how stuff like this goes unfixed for weeks and weeks its really damn annoying. you also cant just hit the button the mount is bound to to dismount like a regular mount? its been like over a month you can do better!
