Dungeons and Raids

Next Tazavesh Mailroom Mayhem plz Or at least give a hint like “Works as intended, git gud”.

[Frééza-greymane]

We are just gonna ignore Tazevesh??? The Mailroom Mayhem boss is bugged so bad people are going 4 dps and tank and out dpsing the mechanic to get past it. The grand Menagerie has a bug that when you die NO ONE CAN RELEASE.

ZERO COMMUNICATION IS NOT OK!

Developers’ note: Our goal is that par time, the expected amount of time the floor will take that is automatically adjusted based on floor size and number of enemies, is equally attainable whether you get short or long floors in a given run.

Can you just do away with the timer for those of use who have no desire to rush through content? We would like to get our cinder ash and move up to more difficult levels, but we don’t like to be rushed.

Sometimes people DC and we have to wait for them, sometimes the pizza man arrives at the door, sometimes people have to take a phone call.

Thank you

Oh and also, can you fix the colors in the new raid so that effects that are placed on the ground are more noticeable. I have a difficult time seeing dark on dark, and some of the effects seem to be be that way in the dark parts of the raid.

[Orthane-turalyon]

No Painsmith Raznal nerfs? He’s extremely overtuned. 30k raidwide damage combined with a constantly 1.3k dot and overlapping spikes and balls is pretty crazy. The balls also need to have their hitboxes doubled since Melee have to be damn near right on top of them to hit for some reason.

@Linxy

Tinybell will no longer call for your help unless Maelie, the Wanderer is available to be found. Additionally, Maelie is now available more frequently.

Oh really? Maelie is now not available for anyone, anywhere… Fantastic fix.

[Linxy]

Hello everyone. Here are today’s hotfixes.

JULY 9, 2021

Classes

• Warlock
  • Affliction
    • Shadow Embrace can now be talented if you are below level 58.

Dungeons and Raids

• Sanctum of Domination
  • Soulrender Dormazain
    • Brand of Torment now deals the appropriate amount of damage based on the amount of players in the raid.
  • Painsmith Raznal
    • Fixed an issue that caused Flameclasp Traps to sometimes not target the maximum number of players.
  • Guardian of the First Ones
    • Fixed an issue where Energy Cores could generate less energy than expected.
  • Sylvanas Windrunner
    • Extended the encounter’s enrage timer on Normal and Heroic difficulties.
      • Developers’ note: The enrage timer on Sylvanas was set to a value used in earlier iterations of the encounter. It was never intended to gate progress.
    • Fixed an issue where the visual effect of Rive could sometimes become misaligned with its warning indicator.
    • Fixed an issue where Invigorating Field could inadvertently cause a player to trigger the Invigorating Field on the far side of the jump, perpetually moving them between the two.
    • Fixed an issue where Anduin Wrynn would fail to cast Crippling Defeat if players entered his platform during the encounter.
• Tazavesh, the Veiled Market
  • The shortcut portal from Customs to The Opulent Nexus is now automatically enabled when Timecap’n Hooktail is defeated.
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent parties from being able to easily resume the dungeon.
  • The Grand Menagerie
    • Players are no longer stuck in combat if the party is defeated during an intermission.
  • So’leah
    • Fixed an issue where Collapsing Star could sometimes become too small and difficult to interact with for consuming the remaining charges of Collapsing Energy.

Items and Rewards

• The currency cap for Cataloged Research has been removed.
  • Developers’ note: We have fixed an earlier technical limitation that required a cap to be set on a currency that came from stacks of consumed items. The earlier lower cap that caused issues getting to Tier 4 was an oversight on our part, but with this resolved we are now able to remove the cap.
• The Helm of Necrotic Sight should also now give Intellect to Holy Paladins.
• Tasteful Eyeglasses no longer have a level requirement to be transmogrified.
• Various Korthia and Maw weapons now sheathe appropriately.
• Alliance Pandaren should now be correctly changed into children by the Inner Child effect from the Experimental Anima Cell toy.
• Sanctum Gloomcharger’s Reins, Fallen Charger’s Reins, Soulbound Gloomcharger’s Reins, and Mawsworn Charger’s Reins now appear in the Dressing Room window.

Quests

• Fixed an issue where Brethlun the Brand could become stuck during the quest “The Brand Holds the Key.”
• Prophet Velen has finally finished his long exhale after the defeat of Argus and is ready for players to turn in quests like “Audience with the Prophet” to him in the Exodar once more.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

• Anima Powers
  • Hunter
    • Petrified Pet Food no longer appears to other players in the hunter’s party.
  • Priest
    • Voidwraith Signet no longer procs from Ashen Phylacteries.

@Gnosir-atiesh

Oh really? Maelie is now not available for anyone, anywhere… Fantastic fix.

Heya Gnosir
Maelie takes a break from escaping sometimes and isn’t present every day. Here’s a post Kaivax made yesterday confirming this information.

@Kaivax

Hello.

While we don’t, as a rule, comment on spawn rates or drop rates, I’d like to confirm that Maelie is not expected to be present every day.

Nonetheless, with a hotfix, we’re increasing her spawn rate, and we’re also making it so that Tiny Bell will no longer beckon for you help if Maelie is not up.

Those changes should go live in the next day or two.

Thank you!

[Prayermonger-arthas]

@Linxy

Priest

• Voidwraith Signet no longer procs from Ashen Phylacteries.

Fun detected. Commence Nerfbat Protocol 9.0.0.1

[Kioskarã-area-52]

Any tuning for Sanctum of Domination? Remnant of Ner’zhul has a bug that kills 50% of the pulls I’ve seen, also has insane overlap. Painsmith Raznal is also INSANELY overtuned and also has INSANE overlap! Mailroom boss in Tazevesh? Anything to any boss?

[Linxy]

[Leyo-kelthuzad]

BUT OFC its crazy man … Please don’t buff damage of BM hunter

[Byrins-area-52]

frost/udk needs to get a buff to there damage! not scaled right at all!

[Ashs-frostmourne]

Why buffing BM ? Like seriously this class is already destroying the ladder. Literally can’t heal the damage even if my healer is spamming heals (in arena)… Tbh this class need a serious nerf in arena. Same for the dps monk.

[Luxaetern-frostmourne]

No reversion, or even mention of the Divine Resonance nerf. Zero communication other than “we’re doing this for testing but btw it’s already live, we don’t actually care, we’re doing it”

Oof.

[Bloodträil-thrall]

You actually buffed Multi-shot damage for BM Hunters??? What BM hunter uses MS for damage again? Ugh…

[Kirbo-moon-guard]

Thank you for fixing the Pet Battle glitch. Now opposing pets won’t also skip their turn when the first pet in a turn skips their turn.

[Siph-cenarius]

Reduced DP damage. Again. ok.

[Stêvêts-stormrage]

Live is not PTR.

Revert Divine Resonance change.
