The hotfix described above is now live in this region, and will be applied during maintenance in other regions with their maintenance.

• Paladins should no longer lose stacks of Reckoning if they are not facing their target or are out of range to attack the target when the Reckoning stacks are gained.

Update updated

I’ve edited the OP. It will be a 5% reduction.

With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’re making the following adjustments to encounters in Azshara’s Eternal Palace:

Dungeons and Raids

• The Eternal Palace
  • Orgozoa
    • Reduced Orgozoa’s health by 5% on Mythic difficulty.
    • Reduced the health of Zoatroids and Orgozoa’s naga allies by 5% on Mythic difficulty.
  • Queen’s Court
    • Reduced the health of Silivaz and Pashmar by 5% health on Mythic difficulty.
  • Queen Azshara
    • Powering up an Ancient Ward or draining Azshara’s Ward of Power now reduces the maximum health of the caster by 8% per stack on all difficulties (was 10%).

In this region, maintenance is scheduled to begin at 7:00 a.m PDT on Tuesday, December 17. Thank you!

I’ve updated the OP here to reflect the changes we’re testing on the current PTR.

Added to the notes above:

Essences

• Condensed Life-Force
  • Azerite Spike cast time increased to 2.5 seconds (was 2.0 seconds).
    • Developers’ notes: The cast time increase was primarily intended to resolve a bug where the Guardian would clip his own casts when you gained enough haste to bring the cast below a GCD. However, this particular essence, which is largely passive, was the premier choice for most specializations in both single and multi-target situations. So, in addition to the cast time increase, we felt it was necessary to reduce the damage increase the player receives from the essence.
• Worldvein Resonance
  • Lifeblood Shard now gets +300% value for 18 seconds (was +50% for 10 seconds).

I’d like to point out that I edited the OP here. It now reads:

With the Visions of N’Zoth content update, the game will automatically convert your Titan Residuum into silver. At the start of Season 4, we’ll set the drop rates of Titan Residuum and the prices of the items that it buys to lower values.

The currency conversion will happen with the content update.

Hello!

We’ve seen some discussion among players about saving Titan Residuum for Season 4, and we want to make sure that it is well known that this isn’t necessary. We feel like most players don’t see a meaningful benefit from saving Residuum for the next season, and for a few players, saving Residuum has become an unhappy obligation.

With the Visions of N’Zoth content update, the game will automatically convert your Titan Residuum into silver. At the start of Season 4, we’ll set the drop rates of Titan Residuum and the prices of the items that it buys to lower values.

And thereafter, Titan Residuum will work in Season 4 just like it did in Seasons 2 and 3.

Happy holidays!

We’re working on a hotfix for this issue. After the hotfix is applied and certain servers are restarted, we’re going to try to modify your mail so that anyone who has these will not be able to carry them over into the next week.

And going forward, new Marks of Honor in the mail will have a 24-hour expiration.

Thank you for the report!

We have to do a very quick restart to pick up a fix for a priority bug.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

From our Known Issues post–

System Settings

• Certain PCs may incorrectly default to integrated graphics adapters.
  • Workaround: Open the System Menu via the Escape key and select System -> Advanced -> Graphics Card and select the correct GPU.

Please let us know if that doesn’t work for you.

That’s correct. Arugal, Felstriker, Remulos, and Yojamba are all waging war together among themselves only.

Is that your sole joke?

You toe-tally … nailed it.

With the patch and battlegrounds now live, we wanted to take a moment to look at the Warsong Gulch vendors. They worked in original WoW and now work in WoW Classic like this:

• Warsong Gulch vendor lists only appear when you have the required reputation. You should see the text “What items have I earned the right to purchase?” and, when you’re Neutral with your WSG faction, you should find that you don’t have the right to purchase anything.
• Warsong Gulch vendors will only sell items from their original list of consumables (and one tabard) for now.
• Additional items that were added to original WoW in patch 1.6 will become available when Blackwing Lair opens in 2020.

See you in the flag room!

I’ve edited the original post here to correct a mistake.

The Keyring will properly scale up to 12 slots for keys, as expected.

With the release of World of Warcraft Classic 1.13.3, we’re making a change to disallow calling C_ChatInfo.SendAddonMessage with the CHANNEL ChatType. This will prevent addons from communicating over custom, player-created chat channels.

Addons will still be able to communicate using PARTY, RAID, GUILD, and WHISPER in the same ways that they can now. Additionally, we are going to test a change to permit C_ChatInfo.SendAddonMessage to be called with SAY and YELL, allowing your addons to communicate with play...

With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we will update WoW Classic to version 1.13.3, which includes several updates to the game. We will deploy this patch with weekly maintenance starting at 7:00 a.m. PST (10:00 a.m. EST) on Tuesday, December 10.

World of Warcraft Classic Version 1.13.3

Battlegrounds

The fields of battle are open, and the Alliance and Horde are set to clash over Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley.

Warsong Gulch is a 10v10 game of capture-the-flag, with each faction attempting to carry their opponents’ flag all the way back to their own base, while preventing the opposition from doing the same. Players fight in level-ranges in Warsong Gulch: 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and level 60.

Alterac Valley is a large 40v40 tug-of-war zone, with many quests, objectives, and areas of interest. All players at level 51 and higher are placed into a single level-range in this epic struggle, with re...

We want to be perfectly clear on this – we do not intend to remove the AH vendor from this mount, especially when some players put in a great deal of effort to acquire this mount specifically for that functionality. Of course, we remember that we removed the Mystic Birdhat’s Reforging from the Grand Expedition Yak, but that was because we removed Reforging from the game.

The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is something that fundamentally alters players’ flow around the world, and it’s a unique convenience, but...
