Hello! Can you please add a toggle to speed up pet battle animations by 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% (disabled)? And maybe also options to increase the length of pet battle animations to 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, if people want that.

Some slider for pet battle animation lengths:

0x (instant) — 0.25x —- 0.5x —- 0.75x —- 1x (normal) —- 1.25x —- 1.5x —- 2x —- 4x

would be really cool

ever notice its always the same AWC and Mythic + classes that get attention? Does anyone ever read bug reports from warlocks, broken talents that say they do one thing but never do it? i know i and 30 or some hard core demo warlock players have brought this up, time and time again… but look at the classes that get fixes… its like they are the ones the devs or sponsored players play or something.

Have not been able to enter Undermine since this patch went live. Game crashes when zoning in and get error WOW51900322. Am able to play all other zones and content, but have tested with multiple characters since o5/06 and the game crashes still whenever trying to enter Undermine either through the Rocket Rail or the Dornogal portal with any character.

Now I have a bunch of unplayable characters that are stuck in Undermine

Thank you Linxy for the steady and, methodical tuning and bug fixes so far.

:+1:

:surfing_woman: :surfing_man:

Was starting to worry the Survival issues were intended with how long they were going without getting fixed. Now just buff the spec’s AoE by 15-20% and it’ll be in a comfy middle of the pack spot for M+.

This change to casting Reins of Anu’relos is having an unintended side effect that is causing a much more disruptive bug. The mount can no longer be summoned in M+. Any plans to make the mount usable in this content again?

Let me guess, so we have to actually pull some trash.

I wish i could get all the bug reports submitted addressed. Here, in case the community missed it:

  1. Pact of the Erid-Ruin. does not proc in pvp and if it does, it is rare. I’ve dotted 10 players with doom, one after another, and still not one doom guard. Then i go to a delve and that guy just pops up whether I’ve applied doom or not. Broke since BETA
  2. Blood Invocation: not not, in any pvpe or pvp provide a 25% bonus after power siphon and deamonbolt
  3. Gloom hound / Mark of F’harg / Vilefied: After a 1.3 sec cast time, the hound appears and goes through a 2 second animation before leaping. If the player or mob goes out of LOS during any point of that, the hound walks (not Sprints) to reacquire LOS… then goes through the animation again. BONUS: It leaps at a location so if the mob or player moves during that leap, it will miss, doing no damage.
  4. Diabolist: Summoned demons (predominately the pit lord) will float there and do nothing if during the summon the player or mob moves out of LOS.
  5. Diabolist: Pit lord proc for a giant Hand of Gul’dan hits a location, not a target, so if the mob or player moves, the attack will do nothing except explode in pretty green colors.
  6. Diabolist: Abyssal Domination: No change to damage consistently, sometimes it works most of time it doesn’t.
  7. Pets: They do not target opponents or mobs, Gloom hounds, Dreadstalkers, Pit Lord’s Hand of Gul’dan proc… if the player / mob moves… miss. Which is very rewarding after watching a 2-5 second animation…
  8. Reign of Tyranny: Useless talent, demons expire bfore you can get 3 hand’ of guldan off and implosion damage is roughly 1-3% of total damage for the entire spec
  9. Umbral blaze: The proc rate is closer to 3% than 15% actual
  10. Pact of the imp mother: I seen this proc two times in the years of playing it
  11. Shadow invocation: No one ever uses it and if they do its so niche that it doesn’t even register on any builds other than troll builds.
  12. Demo has lots of options all of which do not culminate into anything wonderful. You can IMPS galore but not Pact of Erid=Ruin, or missing out on the bonuses to Gloom hound (which is already suspect)
  13. Axe Toss: Can be dodged or negated by moving out of los when the fel guard throws it.

I have posted, so have hundreds of other players, these bugs and reports since beta, in bug reports, in class forums, in response to Tuning… and still nothing. I remember in Dragon flight, you guys waited 3 season to finally address the bugs and it was considered a major buff and tuning for the spec/class when in fact all it was was fixing all the things that the base class said it was supposed to do… no other buffs, no other bonuses.

I get it, last time Demo was seen in any AWC or tournament was 2010. I’ve never seen one in mythics, and in raids they are rarely there. They do excel in delves though, so that’s one aspect where they need no adjustments, but there are 8 other genres of the game.

Please look into these, along with DK, MW, Enh/Resto Shamans, and a few other classes that have never been anything but niche in any tournaments (PVP or PVE). It seriously feels like some ai is looking at charts, seeing the top 5 specs that get attention because they are in tournaments, and adjusting those because that’s what people move to as Flavor of the Season or Month. Please, address this issue.
