Greetings Destruction Warlocks.

Due to an increase in the Soul Shard generation available to Destruction, we are seeing that Rain of Fire is overtaking the role of Chaos Bolt as the primary damaging ability in single-target encounters. To address this, we have deployed the following changes to Beta:

Destruction

• Pyrogenics now increases damage taken from your Fire spells by 3% (was 5%).
• Avatar of Destruction now generates 1 Soul Shard Fragment every 1 second (was 0.5 seconds).
• Summon Infernal now generates 1 Soul Shard Fragment every 1 second (was 0.5 seconds).

Diabolist

• Destruction
  • Infernal Bolt now generates 2 Soul Shards (was 3 Soul Shards).

We will continue to watch and test and make further adjustments if needed.

Thank you for the feedback!

We looked into this and yes,

The reason was something like a bug or crash that was invoked the instant that the mount was initially supposed to be awarded, and then a fix for that as a result of a recent update.

And there may be other achievements that a very small number of players have been missing, until now.

Hello Arcane Mages!

We’ve been closely watching Arcane, and in particular, the discussion around the most recent change to fix the ability to double-dip on the last charge of Nether Precision with Arcane Barrage.

While opinions on this change have not been unanimous, it’s true that the existence of this bug does deepen the rotational gameplay of Arcane. Given the current state of Arcane and our vision for the spec in The War Within, we’re opting to revert our bug fix for now and allow players to continue to double-dip on the last stack of Nether Precision.

You should see this change on the Beta in the coming days.

As always, thank you for your continued feedback!

Hi everyone,

We’ve got some updates for you as we’re nearing launch. Thank you for all the great feedback so far.

The issue regarding not being able to leave a delve should be resolved with the latest Beta build. We’re also working on better messaging for you when you’re on a team, regarding which teammates are eligible for delves. You should see some progress on that in the current Beta build.

On the content side of things, we’ve flagged objects that Brann should never attack – specifically the Nerubian cocoon. No more Brann surprising you with a face full of webs.

We’ve continued doing tuning to make sure certain classes don’t feel like they’re having a vastly different experience in the delves. Most notably, we’ve reduced unavoidable damage for casters wearing cloth armor.

On that note, we’ve introduced a new curio designed to help Brann feel more impactful for healers. It’s called the Rage-Filled Idol, a combat curio. Players in a healer spec w...

Player-characters

• Priests will now automatically restart Shadowform after using Ride Along if Shadowform was enabled when they become a passenger.

Quests

• “The Lightforged” and “Heritage of the Lightforged” now correctly direct players to the Lightforged Beacon.

Radiant Echoes Event

• Updated the event so that now, after the zone boss is defeated, memories begin resurfacing again, repeating the event immediately.
• The event now rotates between zones once each hour, and while the Radiant Echoes are active in a zone, they will remain up for the entire hour.
• Increased earnings from scenarios and bosses, which now include flightstones and crests.
• The event quest is now daily and account-bound (was weekly, per-character).
• Dalaran Defender’s gear is now eligible to be upgraded at the Creation Catalyst.
...

Good catch. I’ve eradicated that little leftover.

The first updated version of the event should start in about 8 minutes.

Confront the memories of Azeroth during the updated pre-expansion event and collect Residual Memories to purchase new items to add to your Warband collection. We've made changes to the event so that players have less down time between stages and more opportunities to gain rewards.

Testing feedback thread right here

Thank you!

As Kaivax mentioned, we’d love your help testing out these changes on the 11.0.0 PTR. The Character Copy feature is currently experiencing some problems there, so in the meantime we’ve enabled the Character Template option on those realms. Using this button on the character selection screen will allow you to make a level 70 character and jump into the action instantly.

Thank you!

We’ve just deployed our changes to the Radiant Echoes event to the 11.0.0 PTR.

Please feel free to reply to this thread with any feedback you have on this version of the event from the PTR.

Thank you!

In a few minutes, we’ll deploy our changes to the Radiant Echoes event to the 11.0.0 PTR.

We’ll be testing the event there for a few hours today, before we bring all of the event improvements to the live game. Please feel free to join us!

If you haven’t tested this particular PTR yet, you’ll find it looking like this in your launcher:

We’re working on major updates to the Radiant Echoes event, based on your feedback.

Since the event went live, we’ve been working to address two main concerns: the wait time for the event, and the rate at which you can earn rewards.

We’re quickly changing it so that the event rotates between zones once each hour, and while the Radiant Echoes are active in a zone, they will remain up for the entire hour.

Now you’ll defeat the memory scenarios that surface, and after enough are defeated, the zone boss will rise. After the zone boss is defeated, the memories will begin resurfacing again, repeating the event immediately. If you’re still interested in farming the basic mobs that appeared when the event ended, you’ll find that those remain available in the other zones.

As far as the rewards are concerned, we’ve re-evaluated the numbers and increased earnings. You’ll see the scenarios and bosses giving more currency than before, in addition to providing flightst...
