Class set items from Mythic Vault of the Incarnates and Elite PVP are intended to display lightning visual effects. These effects are typically attached to the shoulder and helm items. Unfortunately we have a bug that has prevented many of them from functioning as intended.

The bug will be fixed with the launch of 10.0.5.

The Gleaming Incarnate Thunderstone, which you get as a reward for earning the Dragonflight Keystone Hero: Season 1 achievement, is intended to grant the lightning visual effect to non-Mythic difficulty class sets (and to grant the non-lightning version to the Mythic or Elite sets). So if you have the Normal difficulty shoulder appearance for your tier set, using this item will grant an additional appearance with the same color and added lightning effects. This applies to any item appearances you have already unlocked or unlock in the future, so unlocking your Heroic shoulders in the future will also immediately the lightning-infused ...

The update went live late yesterday.

This change also went to the live game late yesterday.

With scheduled weekly maintenance next week, a number of specializations will receive throughput increases to several spells targeted at improving their performance in Raid and M+ content. It’s our intent that these changes help make these Specializations viable options for raid and dungeon content.

We’ve just posted an update on changes coming to improve Rated Solo Shuffle.

Happy New Year champions!

Before the holidays, we posted an update about future improvements that we’re working on for Rated Solo Shuffle, and we want to provide additional information on those updates. For additional information about Rated Solo Shuffle, please refer to the FAQ about Rated Solo Shuffle that was previously posted.

Coming with Weekly Restarts

Next week, we will make an update so that leaving a match will impact both Matchmaking Rating and Current Rating. We’ve received...

As we approach Wrath Classic 3.4.1 and the release of Ulduar, we want to make sure all players know that the Glory of the Raider Black Proto-Drake, Plagued Proto-Drake, the Immortal title, and the Undying title will remain available to be earned throughout Wrath Classic.

Good luck earning these rewards in the months to come!

Greetings,

We’re excited to see Rated Solo Shuffle underway in Dragonflight Season 1 and are happy to see interest in the feature. In October, we posted an FAQ about Rated Solo Shuffle and we want to provide another update following the abundance of feedback and data we’ve received.

Hi, Druids.

We’ve got a number of upcoming changes to the core and spec trees coming in 10.0.5. Our hope is that they fix some underlying issues with the trees while still giving you the same options and overall builds you’ve gotten used to.

Talent Dependencies

One of our goals for the talent tree was to make it impossible or unlikely to pick talents that would do nothing for a character. Druid breaks that guideline in a couple places – Feral can take talents that modify Berserk without taking Berserk, Guardian and Feral can skip Swipe, etc. Most players don’t do these, but we still want to tighten this up.

...

If you already possess these items, they will become bind-on-equip, and you’ll just need to equip them to obtain the appearance.

Items that you do not have in your inventory when the patch goes live will have to be obtained and equipped for the system to register them.

We’ll put timestamps for topics in the live chat here as soon as we have them.

Today, several members of the WoW Community Council met with World of Warcraft narrative designers Steve Danuser, Anne Stickney, and Terran Gregory.

The discussion covered a wide range of topics related to the development of Dragonflight stories, thoughts about what players want to see more of, and what the narrative design team is focusing on for the near future.

Please feel free to use this thread for any follow-up questions or discussion that you might have.

Thank you!

We have a bug affecting the calendar for Oceanic realms-- the Winter’s Veil holiday is listed to start 24 hours before it will actually start.

We believe that this will result in the holiday kicking off exactly 24 hours after it’s listed on the in-game calendar, and then ending 24 hours later than listed on the in-game calendar.

We apologize for the confusion, and hope you enjoy the Feast of Winter’s Veil nonetheless!

Earlier this week we fixed a bug that had allowed Tailors to circumvent a long cooldown in Tailoring, and quickly ascertained that some players had done so a great deal, so we actioned those players in accordance with how much the exploit was used. Earlier today, after further investigation, we came to understand that some of those we suspended likely didn’t have a deliberate intent to exploit and were simply doing something that appeared to be naturally available. As a result, we’ve now reversed most of these suspensions, so that only the most egregious cases remain penalized.

As a result of this, we’ve heard a lot of feedback about the crafting UI and tooltips therein, and we’re looking into improvements that we can make there in a future patch.

Thank you for your understanding.

Correct. If you should have received a Mythic+ Keystone and you did not, please speak to Lindormi in Valdrakken to receive one.

Malicia is back!

We expect to have the Auction House re-opened in the next few minutes.

In Valdrakken, Malicia remains disabled, as we work on this issue. The PvP upgrade currency (Trophy that was tradeable) is taking a little while to clean up and preserve competitive fairness.

We’ve updated the OP with the following additional changes that will go live tomorrow.

Warrior

• Protection
  • Demoralizing Shout now reduces damage taken by 20% (was 25%).
  • Ignore Pain now ignores 50% of damage taken (was 55%).
