Congratulations NOTA!

Anyone get a look at that spicy meatball?

About 5 minutes after Molten Core opened, we deployed a hotfix to correct immunities on non-boss enemies. Players who zoned in during the first few minutes can expect to find boss adds that have unexpected immunities.

If you wish to, a soft reset of the instance should result in the non-boss enemies spawning correctly. Also, quickly swapping to a different Heat level and back to your original Heat level at the Hydraxian NPC near the entrance will reset the boss add immunities without needing an instance reset.

Thank you!

We’ve got a new X/Twitter account right here.

We’ve identified an issue with cross-realm trading that requires us to temporarily disable the function.

We’re working on a fix, and until we’re finished with that work, cross-realm trading should fail when attempted.

We’ll let you know as soon as we’re done.

Thank you!

Hello.

In The War Within, we’ve increased health pools by 60% relative to Dragonflight values. Many spells scale with player health values, so we’ve reduced many of these spells so their relative value remains similar between Dragonflight and The War Within.

Life Cocoon was among the percent-health scaling spells chosen to reduce to keep its value the same between expansions, as we did not feel it was a weak spell throughout Dragonflight (with or without modifying talents). So Life Cocoon’s value is about the same relative to its strength in Dragonflight.

We’ll keep an eye on it to ensure it’s handling scenarios appropriately in The War Within all the same.

Thank you for your feedback!

Hello.

We just want to clarify that we implemented the class trees for this patch as intended, and this is not a bug.

The current War Within Pre-expansion patch includes our initial class and spec changes. As you can see in the Beta, there are more changes coming-- changes that we’re adding with the full War Within expansion.

Between now and then, we may deploy urgent tuning and bug hotfixes to classes, but the trees in the live game are working correctly.

We have a couple of known issues with Action Bars that we’re working to quickly fix.

• For some players, upon login, action bars 2-8 are unintentionally disabled on all characters. Players in this state will have to manually re-enable any of your extra action bars through Options > Gameplay > Action Bars. Pre-existing keybinds and spells should display with the re-enabled action bars.

• New characters’ (level 10 and below) spells on the Action Bars may not save on logout. The same issue may cause some existing characters to have all spells wiped from their Action Bar on logout if they do not create a new loadout.

We intend to fix these issues as soon as possible.

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.

• 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.

This is correct. If you’ve completed the Harbinger questline, the quest should trigger, but you can take part in the pre-expansion event in any state at level 10 and above.
