Congratulations NOTA!

Anyone get a look at that spicy meatball?

About 5 minutes after Molten Core opened, we deployed a hotfix to correct immunities on non-boss enemies. Players who zoned in during the first few minutes can expect to find boss adds that have unexpected immunities.

If you wish to, a soft reset of the instance should result in the non-boss enemies spawning correctly. Also, quickly swapping to a different Heat level and back to your original Heat level at the Hydraxian NPC near the entrance will reset the boss add immunities without needing an instance reset.

Thank you!

We’ve got a new X/Twitter account right here.

Those of you who also use X/Twitter can expect game information, announcements, behind-the-scenes fun and more.

We’ve identified an issue with cross-realm trading that requires us to temporarily disable the function.

We’re working on a fix, and until we’re finished with that work, cross-realm trading should fail when attempted.

We’ll let you know as soon as we’re done.

Thank you!

HOTFIXES

July 25, 2024

Classes

• Druid
  • Balance
    • Wrath cast by Convoke the Spirit now consumes Dreamstate buffs from Nature’s Grace and the Amirdrassil Season 3 (2-piece) Set Armor bonus.
    • Amirdrassil Season 3 (2-piece) Set Armor: Dreamstate now increases the damage of Wrath and Starfire by 80% (was 100%).
  • Hunter
    • Survival
      • Players who had a Wildfire Bomb override from Wildfire Infusion’s previous iteration have had them removed.
  • Warrior
    • Protection
      • Fixed a bug causing Spell Reflection to occasion...

That’s correct.

We deployed a fix for this bug 20 minutes ago, at 6:51 p.m. PDT.

Now, player-characters that only unlocked Steady Flight prior to 11.0.0 can again use Steady Flight as expected.

Hello.

In The War Within, we’ve increased health pools by 60% relative to Dragonflight values. Many spells scale with player health values, so we’ve reduced many of these spells so their relative value remains similar between Dragonflight and The War Within.

Life Cocoon was among the percent-health scaling spells chosen to reduce to keep its value the same between expansions, as we did not feel it was a weak spell throughout Dragonflight (with or without modifying talents). So Life Cocoon’s value is about the same relative to its strength in Dragonflight.

We’ll keep an eye on it to ensure it’s handling scenarios appropriately in The War Within all the same.

Thank you for your feedback!

Hello.

We just want to clarify that we implemented the class trees for this patch as intended, and this is not a bug.

The current War Within Pre-expansion patch includes our initial class and spec changes. As you can see in the Beta, there are more changes coming-- changes that we’re adding with the full War Within expansion.

Between now and then, we may deploy urgent tuning and bug hotfixes to classes, but the trees in the live game are working correctly.

We have a couple of known issues with Action Bars that we’re working to quickly fix.

• For some players, upon login, action bars 2-8 are unintentionally disabled on all characters. Players in this state will have to manually re-enable any of your extra action bars through Options > Gameplay > Action Bars. Pre-existing keybinds and spells should display with the re-enabled action bars.

• New characters’ (level 10 and below) spells on the Action Bars may not save on logout. The same issue may cause some existing characters to have all spells wiped from their Action Bar on logout if they do not create a new loadout.

We intend to fix these issues as soon as possible.

Along with the launch of the pre-expansion patch (11.0.0), we’ve temporarily disabled the Warband Warbank while we work on a critical issue.

This is a top priority and we intend to enable the Warbank as soon as possible.

Thank you!

The War Within Pre-expansion patch (11.0.0) is now live. Please read on for a list of known issues that we’re working on and further information about this update.

11.0.0 KNOWN ISSUES

Updated July 23

• Some specializations may encounter issues when loading a previously saved Talent loadout. This can be resolved with a character relog.

    • Death Knights can sometimes only receive one stack of Festermight for the first proc of Sudden Doom after casting Death Coil.
    • Sudden Doom does not cause all Epidemics to critically strike.

    • Raise Abomination’s Virulent Plague is only applied once.
• Priest
  • Ha...

We’re aware of and working on the issue with Bolvar following maintenance this morning.

We expect that the fix to address the situation will require realm restarts.

Updated this change above.

• Gift of Gob will no longer cancel on stealth.

Items

• Fixed an issue where Antique Bronze Bullion were not being awarded this week. Bullion should continue to drop every week until The War Within launches.

One addition to the pre-patch tomorrow that players may wish to note:

• The level-60 character Boost now provides item level 327 gear (was iLvl 180).

This will go into-effect once patch 11.0 goes live.

We’ve just deployed a new Beta build intended to resolve some issues Mac testers have encountered.

Mac testers, please let us know how the Beta is now working for you.

Thank you very much!

This is a known issue in the Beta. Players can lose the ability to interact with objects, and a logout only straightens it out some of the time.

We’re working to resolve this in our next Beta build.

We’re expecting Beta realms to come back online in the next 30-60 minutes or so.
