  • Reduced how often Fyrakk threatens to burn players.

Awwww…no fun!

64

Just saying this would be a cool idea for all future mythic raid mounts or customizations.

65

Another horribly balanced PvP season. I think the development team must be trolling at this point. Do they read forums?

66

First time I’ve ever seen Blizzard specifically destroy a mandatory trinket for a specialization that requries it to keep up with other dps specs. Unholy has almost no utility or raid buffs so decent damage is required.

I think the biggest problem is going to be compensation for the damage loss. Let’s face it, unholy DK damage is absolutely abysmal outside of their 3 min. bursts and the puzzle box helped that burst damage a lot, which in the end put unholy middle"ish" of the pack.

It’s an identical situation with hunters and the Raz bow, they nerfed it but compensated the spec because of it. Which I thought Blizzard would never do.

So of course they nerf unholy’s mandatory puzzle box trinket but gave no compensation to unholy.

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

May 10, 2023

Achievements

  • The Family Battler of Zaralek Cavern achievement now properly awards the pet Gerald. Additionally, Gerald has been flagged as “unique” and “not cageable,” as is normal for achievement-awarded pets. For players who already have the achievement and did not get the pet, we are working on a separate fix to make sure they get their pet reward.

    • Holy

    • Retribution
      • The swing timer for Crusading Strikes should no longer be reset by other abilities.

    • Fixed an issue where Bloodthirst would not appropriately deal damage when chained via Whirlwind if at least 1 target was immune.

  • Freehold
    • Fixed an issue where multiple spells could target pets.

      • Fixed an issue that caused the bleed effect of Harlan Sweete’s Whirling Dagger to not properly bounce between targets while under the effects of Loaded Dice: All Hands!

Enemies and NPCs

    • Everburning Keys will now drop from Suffusion Mold bosses until the player has 3 or has looted the Secured Shipment for the week.

Items and Rewards

  • Removed pop-up notification that appeared when party/raid members earn Shadowflame Crest Fragments. Players will still see the notification for their own Fragments.
  • Fixed an issue where Beacon to the Beyond, Enduring Dreadplate, Djaruun, and Ward of Faceless Ire would not reset their cooldowns upon ending an encounter.
  • Void-Touched Curios from Sarkareth are no longer unique.

Player versus Player

Know what would be the best hotfix ever and go a long way in repairing player trust and bringing back more players by releasing regular flying alongside dragon flying.

Once again just wanting to remind you that Windwalker spec exists and some communication from the developers regarding the very obvious dissatisfaction the Wind Walker community has expressed would be nice.

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

May 11, 2023

Classes

      • Holy Prism and Light’s Hammer now grant a shield when cast with Fading Light’s Blessing of Dusk.

Dungeons and Raids

        • Developers’ notes: We discovered an issue that was causing the total damage Echoing Howl was doing to all players was scaling too high in larger raid sizes and too low in smaller raid sizes. This change works to even out the damage and make the difficulty more consistent across all raid sizes.
  • Mythic+

    • Developers’ notes: We have been closely monitoring live data and player feedback since the launch of Dragonflight season 2. Based on this, we’ve made a number of targeted adjustments to outlier bosses as well as reduced some of the timers that we feel better reflect the difficulty of certain dungeons.

    • The time to complete Freehold has been reduced to 30 minutes (was 31 minutes).

      • Treemouth
        • Consume absorbs 25% less damage.

    • Freehold

      • Alliance characters trying to access Kul Tiras to enter Freehold should no longer be teleported back to Stormwind.

    • Halls of Infusion

      • Fixed an issue that allowed Containment Apparatus’ Containment Beam to target pets.

    • Neltharion’s Lair

        • Demonology
          • Eye of the Observer from Call Observer can now only trigger a Laserbeam once per second per enemy.

Professions

  • Crafting orders for Undulating Sporecloak should now be viewable and completable.

Quests

  • During the cave dive “Successful Interventions” Mr. Sunflower will be far more welcoming.
  • Cast Off Shells in the world quest “Shell Corporation” should now only be lootable by the player who feeds a Redolent Whelk a Succulent Looking Deepcap.

Scenarios

  • Horrific Visions
    • Fixed an issue where Sanity was being drained too quickly in Horrific Visions.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

  • Sara will now receive a message on Vezax’s death that forces her to spawn immediately.
    • Developers’ notes: This should prevent the issue that a few rocket boot equipped players experience where it’s currently possible, if you run fast enough into Yogg’s room after Vezax’s death, that you start the encounter before Sara has spawned and results in a Yogg fight that can’t progress past phase 1. Thanks speedrunners!

Is that really necessary? It’s YOUR bug afterall.

75

25% Biting Cold nerf will not fix that fight, but it’s a start.

76

my only gripe with that fight is that the boss would change wind direction during the jump over the rings tbh

77

Thanks you for adjusting dungeon timers makes it easy to quit the game again. I thought this season was mezzanine to be a bit easier. Zelda I’m coming

    • Developer’s notes: We’ve been monitoring feedback about the default behavior of Fiery Brand as well as Fiery Brands cast via the new Set bonus.

  • Priest
    • Fixed an issue causing Rhapsody to not stack until Holy Nova is cast after starting a Mythic+ dungeon.
  • Rogue
    • Fixed an issue that caused Sepsis’ buff that enables use of a Stealth skill to be cancelled by Deathmark when copying Garrote.

Professions

  • Recipes purchased with Ponzo’s Cream and Glimmerogg Timeshare Vouchers are now Bind on Pickup as intended.
  • The recipe for Heat-Resistant Rescue Ring is no longer Bind on Pickup.
    • Develpers’ notes: We do not take increasing restrictions on an item’s tradability lightly, however it is important to maintain consistency between professions and across various froms of content. Although we have lightened our recipe tradability rules with Dragonflight, items purchased from content unlocks or with special currencies tend to remain soulbound. Separately, the Heat-Resistant Rescue Ring from Fishing was made soulbound by mistake and has been corrected.
