PSA: If you aren't unlocking Hard Mode after killing the boss solo on Normal with all 5 mechanics, make sure your instance player limit is set to 1. This is intentional to prevent abuse.

Hotfix: The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).

We're reporting and capturing every bug we see - and the team are hard at work addressing anything urgent. Thanks for all your reports which are massively helpful for the team.

Hey everyone. If you're finding the new default chat text size a little too small, you can click the + button in the chatbox to change the Text Size to something larger.

We'll get this feedback to the team.

can confirm this was fixed when the update went live, the NE corner of Senntisten is once again accessible

Just to add to this - we're also passing the feedback on regarding the size options in general as well. This is a great step to try out first if you haven't already though.

As we're getting near to the end of the day, here's a quick roundup of Hotfixes we've released so far all in once place.

Hotfixes

• The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).
• The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly.
• Players can no longer rejoin the Arch-Glacor's Hard Mode encounter after turning it off, unless they re-activate it.
• Triskelion keys dropped from the Arch-Glacor will no longer be multiplied by enrage or mechanic modifiers.

Confirmed Upcoming Hotfixes

• Fix for a bug that is preventing the Scripture of Wen from dropping. Release TBC, target is today.

As I mentioned earlier, we're reporting and capturing every bug we see. We're also looking at what fixes we can bring into future Game Updates along with the Hotfixes the team have been hard at work on delivering asap today.

Thanks so much for the continued high quality feedback. It really helps. We hope you're having a blast out there in the Glacor Front.

Just as an update to this, we're looking to deploy the Scripture Hotfix as soon as we can in the morning.

This is intended. It's further integration of the TrueType font we've been implementing across the game bit by bit, which is important for font scaling and text legibility.

We hear the feedback on the available font sizes though. The team are looking into potential options we could add for future Game Updates among other things.

• The Scripture of Wen and Manuscripts will now correctly be found in Normal Mode and Hard Mode drop tables.
• Hard Mode common drops (and Dark Nilas) have had their quantities increased. These will be updated on your next kill streak.
• The third Pillar of Ice in Hard Mode will now correctly despawn.
• Practice mode will no longer appear on the boss instance interface for the Arch-Glacor.
• Fixed occurrences of the Enhanced Nightmare gauntlets effect not triggering.
