World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Hello.

We’ve been closely following all of your feedback here as we’ve also been playtesting and iterating on this system. As a result, we have developed some changes to Crafting Orders.

For public crafting orders, the customer will now have to provide all basic reagents.

• Optional reagents that previously could be provided by either party (such as missives) are unchanged.
• This change does not affect guild or private orders.

This is to help streamline the process of deciding on a commission for the customer, and figuring out if an order is worth filling for the crafter.

When a customer places an order, there will be a track recipe checkbox in the bottom right of the reagents that tracks the recipe for them to easily see what reagents they need in order to assist in gathering reagents to place the order.

• This will not show for recrafting orders.

If there are any public orders posted for the recipe you ...

Hello Priests!

Thank you for your feedback on our recent changes to Evangelism. Discipline healing scales faster than other healing specializations, as target count increases, which makes it challenging for us to tune the spec to be competitive in both small-scale and large-scale content.

To address this, we’re changing Sins of the Many to a low-level passive and increasing its effectiveness. Discipline is currently overperforming our tuning targets in raids in Dragonflight, so we’re doing this alongside several changes to decrease the specialization’s overall power.

You’ll see the following changes as hotfixes to the Dragonflight Beta over the coming days.

Discipline

• Sins of the Many is now a passive learned at level 12.
  • Increases damage by 30% (was 12%).
  • Damage increase diminishes above 5 Atonement applications (was 1).
• In the talent tree, Sins of the Many has been replaced with Blaze ...

Here are today’s hotfixes to Wrath Classic:

NOVEMBER 2, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Achievements
  • The Battlemaster achievement should now correctly grant the Battlemaster title.

As we previously noted, we’ve increased the difficulty of Mythic+ dungeons at keystone 10 and higher in Dragonflight, to better match the quality of rewards offered by those difficulties.

Following testing and feedback, and considering how much players enjoy pursuing Keystone Master as a seasonal goal, we’ve decided to make an adjustment to grant additional Mythic+ Rating for keys above Level 10:

• M+ keys at each keystone level from 11 and up are now worth an additional 2 points of Rating. For example, in Shadowlands Season 4, completing a dungeon exactly on time on both Fortified and Tyrannical would net you a Rating of 250 for that dungeon. In Dragonflight Season 1, you will now earn 270 Rating.

This means that while keys above Level 10 will become more difficult and you may not be able to push as high as you did in recent Shadowlands seasons, you’ll achieve Keystone Master at lower keystones. We expect players who previously earned this achievemen...

Thanks for asking about this. We’ve just updated the article with the following:

If you’d like to select a different Timewalking Campaign, simply speak to Chromie again. Beginning with phase 2 of the Dragonflight pre-patch, Timewalking Campaigns will scale to level 60. The Shadowlands campaign will be available as a new option for veteran players once Dragonflight launches.

Throughout raid testing in the Dragonflight beta, we have noticed that healing has felt too powerful in level 70 content. This has largely been the result of the impact that 10 additional talent points can have on player damage and healing throughput at level 70.

Generally, we increase player health at the same rate as throughput. This ensures that the pace of the game feels relatively consistent across all levels. One recent example is the covenant renown reward, Deepening Bond, that increased player Stamina by 10% to offset the power gains of Covenant abilities, soulbinds and conduits. After further analysis and playtesting, we have decided that in an upcoming build we will bake the 10% increase to Stamina from Deepening Bond into the base stats of level 60 characters to offset power gained from the new talent system and change Deepening Bond to an increase to movement speed in the Shadowlands.

When damage mitigation abilities and healing are too strong relative to p...
