Hi!

Here are today’s hotfixes:

DECEMBER 13, 2021

Dungeons and Raids

• Timewalking
  • Mage Tower
    • Guardian Druid
      • The change made to the Nether Horror’s ability to cast while moving has been reverted.
        • Developers’ note: When we were looking into Guardian Druid difficulty we thought that by making the Nether Horrors stop to cast their spell we’d make it a little easier by creating some more time to react to them; but it turns out we were wrong and we made it harder. So, we’re reverting that change to back to the way it was (which is once again identical to the way it was in Legion).
    • Holy Priest
      • Corrupted Risen Soldier damage reduced by 30%.
  • Timeworn Mythic+
    • Eye of Azshara
      • ...

Hello!

The menacing scowl has been a customization option for male Night Elves since the launch of World of Warcraft. Back in the Warlords of Draenor expansion, the Night Elves had their character models updated and that’s when we updated the 3 menacing scowl faces to be the somewhat less menacing faces that you see today.

We looked into the number of male Night Elves that players have created with those faces and we found that they aren’t as popular as the other face selections. We agreed with your feedback that having 3 of the 9 faces with the scowling mouth may be hindering your face options, so we have copied these scowling faces and added a more natural posed mouth as 3 new face options for you to choose from in Eternity’s End.

We understand that there’s a long history with these male Night Elf faces, so we would love to know what you think. To help visualize the changes, the three new face options should be available for testing in this week’s PTR build. ...

Hello!

We’ve been reading the discussions around collecting conduits on newly leveled 60 characters and we do agree that finding the conduits that you’re searching for can be tricky. To make the search easier, we’ve started designing an item called Incense of Infinity that level 60 characters can use at their covenant’s Forge of Bonds to learn all conduits and increase the item level of all conduits to 200.

We’re planning to add this bind-on-account item to 9.1.5, the live game, in the next couple of weeks. We’ll make note of it in our hotfixes update post when it’s available. Once it’s in gam...
