The thing that I noticed is that they used the word "Classic’. Capitalized. As in, not Retail.
Should be interesting to see if they fixed it in both but neglected to mention it for Retail, or if they really only fixed it in Classic. (Or they didn’t mean Classic, even if they mentioned it that way.)
That note was in the middle of a bunch of other hotfix notes about retail, so I don’t think they meant Classic WOW, just the vanilla zones. In previous hotfix lists, they’ve listed Classic WOW fixes under a separate “WOW Classic” heading.
You’re probably right. I tend to borrow trouble and read too much into things.
I checked my alts & found one that was only 223 in vanilla Skinning, so I took her up to WInterspring & started skinning yeti. She’s now up to 270 and they’re still yellow; I think they were orange until around 265. So there’s definitely been a change for the better.
Edit: the yeti turned green at 290, so those last 10 points might take a while but 300 certainly seems possible.
Edit 2: Checked some skinnable mobs in Silithus & Burning Steppes, they are green at 290 also. So are the core hounds in MC.
Edit 3: I went back to Winterspring to get those last 10 points from the yeti and it only took a few minutes, so it really wasn’t worth running around trying to find something better than green after all.
This still broken. At level 285 and ALL mobs are grey!
Another week, more patches and still BROKEN!
After another fix you can now go from 285 to 290. But at lvl 290 ALL mobs are gray! This is shows that either QA or the DEVS have no idea how to manage a simple database. If mob lvl is 30 then skinning should show Orange, Yellow, or Green for all skinning levels below 300. At skinning level 300 all mobs should then show Gray. Simple code to have working.
I feel like I was in Tanaris for that last push on my skinner not long ago… (though this was pre-SL…).
Necroing this post because it seems 1-300 skinning is broken… again.
Can’t get past 280 on alts that have skinning. I’ve skinned and skinned and skinned, and nothing.
Having to rely on the “once a month” Darkmoon Faire +5 boost is ridiculous.
Really wish this game would start getting some better QA instead of them wasting time, people, and resources on trying to turn this game into an eSport. Stop with the Mythic+ events and fix your game!
Less eSports, more QA!
Three years later, still bugged. Posted it in the Bug Forums, too:
