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.

Updated July 23

    • 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.

We’ve had a bug with Drained of Blood in BRM for the last day or two, however, we just applied a hotfix that should restore it as we expected it to work.

We’ll keep a close eye on this today.

We’re continuing to work on this. Players are seeing authentic behavior here, but our goal is to get Bolvar to respawn a bit faster when this event has been initiated.

Due to unexpected technical difficulties, we have not yet been able to resolve login and stability issues in the Beta.

Our next update on this will be on Monday, July 22.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We’re currently working to address an issue with resurrection. For the time being:

• When dying and releasing inside of each raid, you will momentarily be ported to Westfall or the Barrens before being transported to the correct graveyard.

Thank you for your patience!

We’re currently working on a fix that should address some issues, especially the login issue for Mac testers.

We’ll let you know when we’ve deployed a new build for that.

Season of Discovery

• The tooltip for the Draconic Infused Emblem is now correct. The spell effect is not changed.
• Blackrock Eruption
  • The Drained of Blood aura from the Stranglethorn Vale PvP event is now applied when participating in the Blackrock Mountain PvP event. This applies to players exiting instances in Blackrock Mountain.
• Druid
  • Flame Wrath has been redesigned with a lower spell power ratio on the Thorns portion of the proc and an internal cooldown for Feral Druids.
• Hunter
  • Trap Launcher will no longer augment Frost Trap.
    • Developers’ notes: A Trap Launcher version of Frost Trap has only existed in versions of WoW in which mobility and freedom effects were more plentiful. Without them, the safety and agency a 9-15 second ranged Frost Trap grants Hunters is simply too m...

We’ve got you.

Tier-0 will become available from the Undermine currency vendor tomorrow when the raids open.

We’ve just applied a hotfix to address Hunter mobility.

• Trap Launcher will no longer augment Frost Trap.

A Trap Launcher version of Frost Trap has only existed in versions of WoW in which mobility and freedom effects were more plentiful. Without them, the safety and agency a 9-15 second ranged Frost Trap grants Hunters is simply too much. We’re making it so that Hunters either need to put themselves at risk in order to place a Frost Trap or have someone engage on them to trigger it.

Please note: if you currently have the Rune equipped, you must unequip and reequip it, zone, or relog before you can use Frost Trap again.

With today’s new build update, we’re tracking a number of stability issues that we’re expecting for testers to experience until we apply fixes and/or deploy the next build.

For example:

• Your game may crash when you enter or exit Delves, or sometimes you may get stuck unable to log out and have to force-close the client.
• There may be situations in which hearthing results in a crash.
• Heroic Dungeon queues may instantly fail.

Update July 19

Due to unexpected technical difficulties, we have not yet been able to resolve login and stability issues in the Beta.

Our next update on this will be on Monday, July 22.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
