World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Hello!

In the latest build of the Shadowlands Beta, we’re reworking Unbound Chaos.

The previous entry in this talent location, Fel Mastery, was a straightforward damage increase to Fel Rush. But you needed to use all of your charges of Fel Rush within your damage rotation to take full advantage of the talent. Since that playstyle already exists with Momentum, we want to provide a talent here that injected Fel Rush into your damage rotation less frequently. The inner demon crashing into your enemies shortly after your fel rush completed was an attempt to present that damage in a more visually impactful way, but ultimately it does not feel very responsive.

As a result, we’re changing the design to enhance the damage of Fel Rush directly.

We’ve identified the source of the problem and are implementing a fix now. We’ll bring the Beta realms back online shortly. Thanks for being patient.

We’re definitely aware of this and are actively investigating into the cause. Will get it fixed as soon as we possibly can.

Here are the hotfixes from today.

October 26, 2020

Classes

• Shaman
  • Enhancement
    • Primal Primer (Azerite Trait) now correctly activates when Flametongue Weapon is applied to your weapon.

Dungeons and Raids

• Experience granted to players in dungeons is now standardized, and does not change with the size of the player’s party.
  • Developers’ notes: This standardized experience value is equal to what the leveling player would have previously earned in a 5-person party. Dungeon experience was tuned around the expectation of full parties, and we saw that taplist loopholes in combination with pre-patch changes to dungeon scaling revealed some extreme leveling tactics by fewer than 5 players.

With a hotfix that is now live, we’ve made the following adjustment:

• Experience granted to players in dungeons is now standardized, and does not change with the size of the player’s party.

This standardized experience value is equal to what the leveling player would have previously earned in a 5-person party.

Going into the pre-patch, dungeon experience was tuned around the expectation of full parties. However, we saw that taplist loopholes in combination with pre-patch changes to dungeon scaling revealed some extreme leveling tactics by fewer than 5 players. We want dungeons to remain lucrative, and to be a valid alternative to questing and other experience sources, rather than to overshadow them.

Happy Friday! Here is today’s hotfix update.

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: To facilitate and expedite testing, there is an NPC named Johnny McWeaksauce that has taken up temporary residence at Light’s Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands. He will provide players with Naxxramas attunement and instant teleportation into the Naxxramas raid. Johnny’...
