We’re working on a hotfix that should address this. Once the hotfix is live, this full screen effect will be included among effects that are disabled when you enable enabling motion sickness settings.

We continue to closely monitor data on class performance in-game as well as player feedback. With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’ll make the following adjustments to classes that are over- and under-performing in group content and PvP.

Classes

• Death Knight
  • Frost
    • Aberrus, the Shadow Crucible 2-piece set
      • The damage of your next Frostwyrm’s Fury is increased by 4% (was 5%). Stacks unchanged.
      • The effectiveness of Frostywrm’s Fury reduced to 25% (was 30%).
      • Howling Blast damage reduced to 10% (was 20%).
    • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope 4-piece set
      • Chill Streak can bounce 3 additional times (was 2 times).
      • The chance to proc a b...

We have a hotfix on the way. Thereafter, Dreamsurge buffs should no longer apply to player-characters who are in Valdrakken.

Season of Discovery realms will open at 1:00 p.m. PST on Thursday, November 30.

Yes! It will be 1:00 p.m. PST on Thursday, November 30.

That’s:

November 21, 2023

Achievements

• Added Ivy as a reward for Don’t Let the Doe Hit You On the Way Out.

Classes

• Hunter
  • Beast Mastery
    • Beast Cleave and Kill Cleave now log correctly when the Hunter is buffed by an Augmentation Evoker.

Creatures and NPCs

• Fixed issue causing rare elites in The Forbidden Reach, Zaralek Cavern, and The Emerald Dream to not award credit to players in a raid group.
• Unpulled rare elites in Forbidden Reach and Zaralek Caverns should now despawn after 15 minutes, unless players are in their immediate vicinity.

Dungeons and Raids

• Developers’ notes: Through the first week of Season 3 Mythic+ dungeons, data and feedback suggest that Murozond’s Rise, Throne of the Tides, and Atal’Dazar ar...

We’ve looked at data and feedback from players over the first week of Season 3 PvP and intend to make some adjustments with scheduled weekly maintenance to address a few classes where we’re seeing over- and underperformance.

Player versus Player

• Death Knight
  • Unholy
    • Death Coil damage is now increased by 70% in PvP combat (was 90%).
• Demon Hunter
  • Havoc
    • Inertia damage bonus reduced to 12% (was 18%) in PvP combat.
    • Elysian Decree damage reduced by 20% in PvP combat.
    • The Hunt initial and periodic damage reduced by 30% (was 20%) in PvP combat.
    • Throw Glaive damage reduce...

With scheduled weekly maintenance tomorrow, we will make adjustments to several enemies and spells in Mythic+ dungeons.

Data and feedback suggests that Murozond’s Rise, Throne of the Tides, and Atal’Dazar are outliers in terms of difficulty. While Murozond’s Rise and Throne of the Tides are too difficult, Atal’Dazar is proving too easy and may affect player progression through the content in a negative way.

Our adjustments aim to better align overall balance across the Mythic+ dungeon pool for Season 3.

Atal’Dazar

• The required enemy forces count for Atal’Dazar has been increased.
• Toxic Saurid’s Leaping Thrash no longer triggers Poisoned Claws on the target.
• Dazar’ai Juggernaut’s Merciless Assault damage reduced by 25%.
• Dazar’al Augur’s Wildfire periodic rate reduced to 1 second (was 2 seconds).
• Dinomancer Kish’o’s Deadeye Aim damage reduced by 25%.
• T’lonja’s Frenzied Charge is now avoidab...

In order to preserve the integrity of the game and provide a better token market to players, with an update to World of Warcraft on Tuesday, November 21, we will enable the following restriction in this region.

• Players will no longer be allowed to purchase a WoW Token from the Auction House or the in-game Shop for gold if they have not spent real money to purchase and consume at least 30 days of game time (a “Time Limited License”) since 2017.

This does not affect the consumption of existing WoW Tokens, however, game time provided by the consumption of a WoW Token does not count toward the qualification to purchase a WoW Token for gold.

After November 21, 2023, any player who cannot purchase a WoW Token for gold in-game will need to first purchase and consume at least 30 days of game time for real money. This can be done on any World of Warcraft account across the player’s Battle.net account to qualify.

Thank you.

Our work is complete and transfers are enabled again.

In order to address a critical issue, we’ve temporarily disabled the realm transfer function on all Classic Era realms. Paid transfers as well as free transfers, such as moving a deceased Hardcore character, cannot be initialized at this time.

We’ll restore the service as soon as possible.

We plan to initialize the power increase in ICC on December 5.

It will start as a 5% buff, and it will increase by 5% every two weeks until it reaches the max of 30%.

As a reminder-- the buff is optional. Any player can always choose to remove it from themselves.

Yes, this is a display bug and we’re working on a fix for it. Thank you for the reports.

In a recent hotfix aimed at correcting an issue with Augmentation Evokers and their damage logging, we adjusted how Hunter pet damage is calculated. A side effect of this was that Hunter pet attacks started scaling with weapon attack power, increasing the damage of a Hunter pet’s special attacks by about 32.5% at 450 item level. The side effect is something we would like to retain, as it means that Hunter pet damage will now benefit from weapon upgrades.

We’re currently testing the following hotfix, and intend to apply it to all realms as soon as possible today:

• Kill Command, Bite, Claw, Smack, Flanking Strike, Froststorm Breath, and Burrow Attack damage reduced by ~25%.

After this hotfix goes live, it will be added to our next Hotfixes Update...

November 14, 2023

Classes

• Death Knight
  • Unholy
    • Death Coil damage increased by 10%.
    • Scourge Strike/Clawing Shadows damage increased by 10%.
    • Ghoul damage increased by 8%.
    • Virulent Plague damage increased by 20%.
    • Apocalypse ghoul damage increased by 5%.
• Demon Hunter
  • Havoc
    • Chaotic Disposition has been reworked to directly benefit the damage of affected abilities instead of duplicating portions of the damage they dealt. The amount of damage generated by the effect has not changed.
    • Chaotic Disposition: Your Chaos damage has a 7.77% chance to be increased by 17%, occurring up to 3/7 total times.
  • Vengeance
    • Sigil of Silence base duration reduced to 5 seconds (was 6 seconds). PvP duration has not changed.
    ...

We have many more steps to take with Hardcore during a full patch update like this one. Those steps are all focused on finding any issue that has even a remote chance of causing players to die. If we find such an issue, we go through a whole process of understanding it, reproducing it, designing a fix, testing the fix, and applying the fix before we open Hardcore realms publicly.

Issues like that can be safely tolerated on the non-Hardcore Classic Era realms for a little while, and of course, we apply our fixes to Classic Era realms as well as Hardcore realms as we go.

We appreciate your patience.

We’ve been working on a fix for this, and couldn’t get it finalized in time for today’s maintenance. Our current solution will be to make Mend Pet and Revive Pet into separate pet utility buttons that are no longer automatically swapped back and forth based on your pet’s state.

We’ll let you know when the fix is deployed.
