I shared this with our entire quest design team, including those who wrote these parts.

Thank you. We’ve very glad you enjoyed it.

At about 3:21 p.m. PST today, to address a situation where Dream Wardens Renown could be infinitely farmed, we temporarily hotfixed the game to limit impact while we investigated the situation and evaluated our options. What we did at that time was to make it so that contributing only Dewdrops in the Emerald Bounty no longer granted Rep, while contributing seeds (any seed) to the Emerald Bounty did grant Rep.

We don’t want the most efficient way to max out a Renown to be pure grinding. So with a hotfix that we applied to the game at about 7:24 p.m. PST, we’ve reinstated Dream Wardens Rep from Dewdrop contributions into Medium and Large Emerald Blooms, with a large up front Rep bonus to the first five each week. It will remain open-endedly grindable, and for anyone who was doing a moderate number of seeds per week, it will be a net improvement.

We apologize for the confusion today.

Yes, the bug is now fixed and you should get your missing Seedbloom in the mail in the Emerald Dream zone.

Hello!

We encountered a bug that prevented Seedbloom from being rewarded through the completion of the weekly Blooming Dreamseeds quest.

We have now hotfixed the issue and it should reward 1 Seedbloom going forward.

Additionally, if you completed the quest before our hotfix went out, go to the Emerald Dream and then check your mail. The local postmaster should be sending out replacement Seedblooms.

Thank you.

Yes, and for anyone who still see the bugged state, simply log out and back into the game on any affected boosted characters.

We’ve now deployed a fix for this issue, as well as a cleanup process.

Going forward, the bug should not affect anyone anew, and if you’re already affected, simply log out and back into the game on any affected boosted characters.

Thank you for your reports!

• Guild crest imagery will fail to display in the Micromenu and the Guilds & Communities panel.

We’re developing a fix for this visual issue, and expect it to require server restarts when the fix is ready.

We’ve just applied a hotfix that should resolve this.

Thank you.

We’re working on a fix for this and expect it to go out tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you notice missing textures, disabling MSAA should help.

Realms are now being opened in this region.

Welcome to Guardians of the Dream.

And again, thank you for your patience.

I’m okay! There were donuts at the office this morning and I’ve been here on these forums through many patches. Nothing could ever compare to posting through the night when we launched Warlords of Draenor.

Thanks for caring!

TPS reports.

We’re not going to make it in time for 5:00 p.m. to be accurate, so we’re extending by another hour to 6:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. EST), and hopeful that we’re very close to complete on maintenance.

Thank you very much.

I can beat that!

We’re continuing to work through issues that will require us to keep the game offline longer than hoped, and we’re changing that estimated time to 5:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m. EST).

Again, thank you very much for your patience.

We’ve just made the decision to delay our estimated launch time for Guardians of the Dream. We now expect to be finished with maintenance by 4:00 p.m. PST (7:00 p.m. EST).

Launching this patch is our top priority across the entire WoW Development Team, and we’ll let you know when we have any further updates.

To provide more transparency on the actions we take against cheating and exploitation, here is an accounting of the number of actions that were taken over the last month, October 2023:

Total Exploitative WoW Account Actions in October 2023: 203026

All of these actions were for cheating or exploitation, which primarily result in permanent bans or 6-month suspensions. This number does not include other actions such as those taken on accounts with character name or in-game language violations. We continue to evolve our methods and act against these malicious accounts on a daily basis.

With the Guardians of the Dream patch, the following conversions will happen:

• Flightstones earned in Dragonflight Season 2 will be converted to gold.
• Shadowflame Crests and Crest Fragments will become grey items.
