      ...

Here’s today’s hotfixes to Lower and Upper Karazhan:

AUGUST 23, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

• Mythic+
  • Return to Karazhan: Lower
    • Developers’ note: We wanted to give players time to re-learn mechanics in returning dungeons before making large nerfs, however, Lower Karazhan continues to stand out as an outlier in difficulty so we are making larger changes to bring it in line with the difficulty of the other dungeons in Season 4.
    • Several Skeletal Ushers are taking a break from protecting the Opera Hall.
    • Several Skeletal Ushers have relocated to account for their partners taking a break.
    • Arcane Warden and Skeletal Usher now contribute more credit to Enemy Forces.

AUGUST 18, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

• Mythic+
  • Affixes
    • Shrouded
      • Adjusted the health, melee damage, and ability damage of Nathrezim Infiltrators.
      • Vampiric Claws cooldown increased to 12 seconds (was 8 seconds).
        • Developers’ note: We discovered an issue that caused Nathrezim Infiltrators to have inconsistent health and damage, and as part of resolving the issue we had to adjust their health and damage values. The net result is that Nathrezim Infiltrators should feel slightly less powerful than they did previously.

Player versus Player

• Spoils of War 25% Conquest and 40% Hono...

This week the 9.2.7 update introduces the new chat channel: Trade (Services). The Trade (Services) chat channel is used for searching and advertising services like raiding, dungeons, or PvP activities, keeping the original Trade chat channel available for traditional buying and selling of items and profession services.

With the separation of trade services into its own chat channel, a new policy will take place. Any boosting, carrying, or other similar services offered for gold that’s advertised outside of the Trade (Services) chat channel will be considered spam and the proper actions will be taken, so be sure to switch your service advertisements to the new chat channel when it becomes available after this week’s regional maintenance.

To prepare for the upcoming region-wide commodities Auction House update, all auctions that are still listed when next week’s maintenance begins will be cancelled and returned to players’ mailboxes. There will be a notice that appears in the Auction House 48 hours before the maintenance begins informing players of the update, so be sure to set your listings to end before the servers go down.
