WoW Classic Era - “Not A Bug” List - Updated April 22, 2021

yeah cheap shot is on a separate dr from kidney and other stuns but i noticed this when i was doing dungeons and warrior charges in before im close enough to do my cheap shot

About thrash procs and your reference client.

Which mobs have it? Because all i could find is
https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=3391/thrash
which only has 40 mobs 2 of which are deadmines bosses.

And
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Thrash_(proc)
Which doesnt mention mobs but does bosses. And if there is old notes can you direct me in the right direction?

Did this thrash mechanic just get added to classic to stop hunters from solo farming dungeons like Maraudon and Dire Maul? What happened to #nochanges

Taken from dev watercooler post https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21881587/dev-watercooler-world-of-warcraft-classic

" After stitching various key pieces together, we had a locally rebuilt version of Patch 1.12 running internally."

In other words, they used a “stitched” up incomplete rebuilt version, instead of actually using the original version in it’s unmodified form. Most of what they did is guesswork and I believe they are wrong about many of the things in this post.

For example:

“Pet aggro radius is working properly and as expected. This is to say, it was extremely inconsistent in original WoW, and it remains inconsistent in WoW Classic.”

This is completely incorrect. Pet aggro radius is EXTREMELY CONSISTENT right now, in that I can send my pet RIGHT ONTO AN ENEMY and pull it back without aggroing it. This was NEVER a thing in vanilla. EVER! They are acting like it’s a hunter thing, when WARLOCKS are having the SAME PROBLEM.

I think you read too much into, and maybe misinterpret what is being “stitched together” to get 1.12 running. It’s not necessarily true that 1.12 was stitched together, getting it running on a modern system in a modern client is what could have required 'stitching various key pieces together." All of the data can be there, but it doesn’t mean you can run a game client with it.

This really grinds my gears. They can just say reference client and thats suppose to be the end all be all for 1.12. Even though there is countless posts on wowhead and wayback machine and even videos as proof somethings arent correct.

Would also explain why some things have TBC fixes when that wasnt the case in 1.12

Whats the word on discombobulator ray not dismounting enemy players? I have video proof if need be.

I think you’re the one misinterpreting. Blizzard “stitched together” the Legion client to be similar to the original 1.12 client. The actual original 1.12 client runs on modern systems without trouble.

Hahahahaha, no. Just no. This didn’t happen in 1.12. Please stop gaslighting your community, Blizzard. You have Thrash coded as an active ability. I know this because I’ve mind controlled mobs with it. If Thrash were coded properly as a proc, it wouldn’t be able to be “stored”. It would proc on the relevant hit. Some mobs have it properly coded(as you are describing it), such as the patrolling Abominations in Strat Live. I know this because the combat log properly reflects their Thrash procs.

The Sunscale Raptors in the Barrens appear to have this ability as well.

Thrash is an active move not a proc UNLESS you are referring to the weapon Thrash Blade. But referring to the move itself say, on a raptor, it should not be treated as a “proc” at all.

Not really understanding this “notabug” thing. It’s not acting as it was in Vanilla, therefore, bug.

I dont know whay you’re saying check this out.

So many unrealistic expectations.

They did the best they could with what they had and did a dam fine job of it. At this point the #nochanges crowd just look like a bunch of entitled children. Get past it already.

Major class features are broken and not working as they did in Vanilla.

There will be no “going past’” that which is plainly broken

Considering the high quality pservers were more Vanilla-like, I’m going to go ahead and say that’s utter tripe.

Many, huh? That’s unfortunate. What are these dozen or so broken class features?

They’re still there. They also don’t cost you a sub. Sad to see you go. Stay safe and good luck!

Golemagg dropped no gold. Back in Vanilla i remember getting upto 25g for a MC run but im not seeing that in Classic. Is my memory wrong or a bug?

can you bring back the sword “scimitar of atun”! i have not seen that sword at all and it is my favorite sword in the game

Now you are just becoming lazy and saying that bugs are classic content because internet speeds have improved…fix batching ffs

BTW Taurens still overreach and Tauren hunters basically have almost no deadzone….must be nice since the rest of the hunters all have bugged dead zones still.
