World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Hello!

We’ve seen your feedback and want to provide some clarification on PvP currencies as we go into Early Access and The War Within launch. Players will be able to continue to purchase Dragonflight items throughout Early Access, and we will reset currencies on launch day – August 26.

PvP Currencies

• Honor will continue to be earnable and will reset with the start of Early Access on August 22. At this time, we will temporarily change the honor cap to 4000. The Honor cap will return to 15000 with TWW launch on August 26.
• Conquest and Bloody Tokens will cease being earnable at pre-season start on August 20 and will reset with new versioning on August 26. These will become earnable again when The War Within Season 1 begins.
• The PvP vendors for The War Within will not have items available to purchase during Early Access so that all players will have equal access to level 80 PvP gear at the same time.

Season of Discovery

• The % increase to player health that is present in Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin is now also active in Alterac Valley.
• Items
  • Shard of the God’s summoned minion now has a 20-yard cone (was 40 yards) and will spend the first 3 seconds of its summon to run into range of a target.
• Quests
  • “Stave of the Ancients" Demon NPCs will now respawn much more quickly.
• Druid
  • The bonus on Moonkin Form that increases Moonfire (and Sunfire) periodic damage now increases it by 100% (was 50%).
• Hunter
  • Immolation Trap now has a 7.5 second duration, but still deals the same amount of damage as it did over 15 seconds. This allows it to deliver all its damage before its cooldown is available again.
  • Raptor Fury now lasts 30 seconds an...

Way to think positively!

Howdy Everyone!

This issue is on our radar and still being looked into, we have updated the report to cover all Windows based handheld devices.

Following the introduction of Warbands, we’ve seen a lot of discussion and received a lot of feedback from Transmog collectors. We want everyone to know that we’re currently working on some improvements to appearance collecting that are planned for the next patch after the release of The War Within.

First is an update to class-restricted gear. We’re working to make it so that non-cosmetic class-restricted gear can have its appearance collected by any class. Appearance collection will be retroactive to any gear in your inventory or bank. The intent is to make it much easier to collect class sets from legacy raids where that gear drops directly.

We’re also still working on the much-discussed update that makes it so that when quests are completed, all appearances from non-cosmetic item rewards will be granted, regardless of whether that particular class could have seen or chosen them. We plan for this to be retroactive, so any quests that you previously completed should g...

Hello!

Thank you for the feedback and interest in variable size raiding in Season of Discovery. The bug that allowed more than 20 players access to individual instances of Molten Core at launch resulted in unintended design and technical consequences and needed to be fixed.

We’re pleased with how this system is playing out in the Onyxia, Kazzak, and Azuregos encounters and are excited to find ways to continue incorporating this system into more raids in future phases of Season of Discovery.

Thank you again for your feedback on this.

Player-characters

• Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena.

Quests

• We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed.

Radiant Echoes Event

• Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event.
• Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe.
  • Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros).

The fix went live 15 minutes ago, at 4:15 p.m. PDT.

We’ve identified an issue with boss scaling, and we’re working on a fix for it.

I’ll post again when the fix goes live.

Season of Discovery

• Each side of the Poacher’s cave tunnel between Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes now has an independent cooldown, allowing curious players a quick return option. Smoke asphyxiation still prevents more-frequent usage than twice an hour.
• Druid
  • Moonkin Form now also decreases all threat generated by Nature and Arcane spells cast by the Druid by 30%.
• Hunter
  • [With scheduled maintenance] The Hunter T.N.T. rune now increases Explosive Trap initial damage and Immolation Trap periodic damage based on 25% of the Hunter’s Attack Power (was 50%). It also now uses the higher of melee and ranged Attack Power (was always melee Attack Power).
• Mage
  • Fixed an issue where the Mage Healer 2-piece Molten Core set bonus did not working properly. The benefits of the Temporal Beaco...
