We’re working on a hotfix that will adjust the Infinite Stars Corruption Effect:

Items
Corruption Effects

  • Infinite Stars damage at all Corruption levels has been reduced by 25%.

This hotfix should go live in the next few hours, and will appear in our next hotfixes update tomorrow.

Hello.

We've removed the suspensions that were issued for repeatedly looting the Black Empire Coffer.

We hotfixed the underlying issue earlier this week. Our initial analysis suggested that there was exploitative behavior here: a series of actions that needed to be taken outside of typical gameplay in order to gain advantage. However, further investigation revealed this was not always the case. This chest could reset under innocuous or even accidental conditions.

Update on 1/16/2020 at 19:00 PST
Here are some additional issues that we have identified and are actively investigating:

  • When items are returned in the mail from the Auction House, it can incorrectly contain more stacks than the displayed maximum of 16. This makes it look like some items are not being delivered. You will know if you are experiencing this if a mail appears empty but can’t be deleted.
    • To retrieve the missing items in this scenario, take out all 16 of the displayed stacks, then close and reopen the mailbox to see the rest (you may need to repeat this several times).
  • If a character buys commodities in high quantities, they may not be able to access their mail.
  • The favorites list is not saving properly.
  • We have resolved some of the issues causing the “Internal Auction Error” to pop up, but it is still occurring and we are continuing to look into it.

We’re aware of an...

I’ve updated the text of the hotfix to more accurately describe it:

Alterac Valley

  • Spirit Guides in the starting caves now apply Honorless Target to the players they resurrect.

This tweak didn’t have any impact on graveyards in AV. Just the starting caves, where it was possible for a steady stream of new-to-that-instance players to keep spawning into an unfortunate situation.

I’ve updated the OP, and edited the wording of the latest hotfix:

To be clear – it’s not gone. The only way to remove it is to complete the quest that cleanses you of its wicked curse.

Which is something I’ll never do.

Just amplifying this. It works the same way the Druid Artifact appearances work. You right-click on it.

Hello. As mentioned in the Known Issues thread, this process ended up being a bit unintuitive for some players.

To choose the one you want, right-click the dagger appearance. This changes the appearances between your main hand and off-hand weapon.

This is similar functionality to how Druid Artifact appearances work.

It’s not significantly longer.

Updating ranks has always taken multiple hours. I didn’t work at Blizzard in 2005, but engineers who did have told me that they used to update ranks during maintenance, with the servers offline. Waiting for the weekly honor job to complete was one of the reasons that maintenance used to always require multiple hours every week.

Today our maintenance periods are much shorter, and this is partly because of big improvements to the honor update.
