WoW Hotfixes - May 7

Sunstripe-earthfury · March 6, 2024, 11:15pm

This is an insult to your playerbase. Nerf DH and do tuning already

Prysmatix-ashkandi · March 8, 2024, 7:09pm

I agree, the wow team needs to refocus and group. They have spread their crew too thin (Era,SoD,WotLK, Retail). It’s a slap to the face when SoD is getting feedback what seems, almost every single day. We all pay the same to play, why do they get treated far better? O.o

Devastator-sentinels · March 9, 2024, 12:32am

say, can you address an issue to blizzard, regarding the Fearless Spectator and Renowned Explorer titles being lost and regained at random? i’ve (along with several others) mentioned this bug in countless bug report threads, and blizz gives us no response, figured they’d respond if a Community Council member addresses the issue, they might listen to you

wow i cant wait!!

Felrynpr-malganis · March 12, 2024, 10:14pm

kindly wake up and stop ignoring pvp for once

we really gonna have to deal with mages 100-0ing people for a dot until next wave of tuning (aka 2 months)?

Wráth-kiljaeden · March 12, 2024, 11:55pm

Are there notes for DK that didn’t get posted? Or did the class get forgotten again?

Ellcrys-firetree · March 13, 2024, 1:44am

All the PvP changes and yet they still wont’t fix the BS rating system. Lose 17 points and only win 7 back… It punshies you twice what it rewards you.

Agrias-bloodsail-buccaneers · March 13, 2024, 5:11pm

So rather than make the spec actually useful for ranged healing you are doubling down on keeping the range limits?

You know… you should give them a toolkit to do both and see where they focus. Healing at midrange is just weird to me. I bet you’ll find healers prefer extended range.

Einherja-drenden · March 15, 2024, 4:33am

Why are you nerfing a healing spec this far into the patch before it ends??? Congratulations, you just buffed the raid encounters for any team relying on a mistweaver in their healing comp, and for what?

Namjin-lone-wolf · March 19, 2024, 4:16am

claiming by writing a message?

Ithost-illidan · March 20, 2024, 2:56am

where’s the notes on how you screwed up hpriest? I don’t see anything, but it’s clearly been changed.

Rita-velen · March 20, 2024, 5:49am

Agreed. That and verdant embrace being a critical part of healing but moving me around, and having to get your teammates in some cone for dream breath are things I don’t personally enjoy about preservation evoker. Unrelated to the range complaint but I also dislike echo as a lot of its healing is backloaded when it comes to unexpected damage which is most damage when pugging. It is just way too hard for me I like significantly easier specs, I am not a hard core I don’t think most healer players are

Rita-velen · March 20, 2024, 6:05am

Love the holy priest rework you guys thank you for making emp blaze easier and not take up a bind anymore <3 <3

Dungeons

Afflicted cast time increased to 12 seconds (was 10 seconds).
Incorporeal now spawns closer to the group’s general location.
- Developers’ notes: The changes above were originally intended for Dragonflight Season 4, but we decided we’d prefer to have players to experience them sooner.
Addressed an issue where Afflicted Cry’s debuff duration was increased by 2 seconds instead of its cast time.

Items

Fixed an issue that could cause raid bosses to not drop tier tokens as expected.
Fixed an issue where items from the Cache of Overblooming Treasures awarded from the Superbloom were dropping at a lower item level and upgrade track than intended.
Fixed a bug that prevented some mounts, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm or the mounts associated with the Dragonflight achievement A World Awoken, from being accessible to players who previously earned them.
Fixed a bug that caused some gear to unintentionally become as powerful as it will be when Season 4 starts.
- Developers’ notes: We’ve set these pieces back to their Season 3 item levels for the remainder of Season 3.

Transmogrification

Players can now view the Plunderlord’s Finery Transmog Set on their retail characters as they work towards earning all the pieces during the Plunderstorm event.

Laventa-whitemane · March 21, 2024, 12:03am

Not sure if the server hasnt reached me or something yet, but none of the mounts are appearing still, including the black scales for the netherwing.

Bateb-sargeras · March 21, 2024, 12:11am

Dear Mr Kaivax,

Please send the nerfs for Mythic Fyrakk in the name of all that is holy.
I beg you.

Best,
Batebingtonerdog the 4th

Maizou-proudmoore · March 21, 2024, 12:41am

All 6 new achievement mounts are still missing.

The only new achievement mount we have is the Shalewing from Que Zaralek.

The other 6 are not visible in the journal or useable.

Also, to note, Taivan’s model seems to be missing from the game. No one can get him for a minimum of 6 more days, but here’s what I mean:

Dara-scarlet-crusade · March 21, 2024, 1:01am

Has this actually happened yet? Or is this just something that is “coming soon”? I am refusing to do the Superbloom until it is acatually fixed. My characters need the loot to complete the set.

Saitii-dalaran · March 21, 2024, 1:07am

Are we just screwed for no arena mmr changes? Can you at least say that this is intended? For all this listening to feedback, why is it still radio silence for arena players?
