World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Here are today’s hotfixes for Wrath Classic:

OCTOBER 10, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Naxxramas
  • Fixed an issue where Kel’Thuzad would damage the main tank with Frost Blast, in addition to a random raid target. Frost Blast will now only hit the main tank if the primary target of Frost Blast is standing near the main tank, or the main tank is not the highest threat target.
• Fixed issue with Strand of the Ancients where same-faction battleground teams disguised as the opposite faction would be sent to the wrong graveyard upon death.
• Fixed an issue where Hyperspeed Accelerators could not be used in the same macro as spells and abilities.
  • Developers’ note: Due to the nature of this fix, Hyperspeed Accelerators’ on-use effect no longer shares a partial cooldown with on-use Trinkets as they once did. For now, this is known and intended, but we may attempt...

Sorry for the confusion! They are changing cadence, not type, so the original post has been updated with: “Some (previously weekly) World Quests have become daily…”

Hello,

Some changes were recently made that affected Reputation and Renown. As we have added different sources of Reputation, it became harder to reward amounts that felt meaningful. As a result, we made a variety of changes to Reputation rewards alongside increases to the Reputation needed per Renown rank from 1000 to 2500.

Here is a breakdown of some of these changes:

• Some (previously weekly) World Quests have become daily, while the frequency of some others were increased to twice per week.
• We’ve lowered the Renown level requirements of certain activities, such as climbing quests, cataloging quests, and the Siege of Dragonbane, so that players hit the unlock sooner.
• Level-up quests have been adjusted so that players are reaching max level with most of the activities unlocking.
• The Weekly Wrapper quest now changes slightly each week. The Reputation requirement will go up, but the overall increased Reputation gains should result...

Here’s today’s hotfix update for Wrath Classic:

OCTOBER 7, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• When Engineering Tinker enchantments are activated, they now trigger their cooldown for all other engineering tinker enchantments that can be equipped in the same slot, as well as duplicates of their enchantment. This includes Mind Amplification Dish, Nitro Boosts, Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket, Hyperspeed Accelerators, Personal Electromagnetic Pulse Generator, Flexweave Underlay, Frag Belt, and Springy Arachnoweave.
• Master Elemental Shaper Krixix in Blackwing Lair is now guaranteed to drop the Goblin’s Guide to Elementium.
• Fixed an issue that prevented two Shaman relics, Savage Gladiator’s Totem of the Third Wind and Hateful Gladiator’s Totem of the Third Wind, from functioning properly.
• Various buffs gained from world events and quests such as Darkmoon Faire will now cancel when players enter any instance....

Added to the above:

Paladin

• Retribution
  • Divine Storm damage reduced by 35%.

Based on various data points, including recent Beta raid testing, we’re making tuning adjustments to a number of classes. In addition to new and returning abilities, the new talent trees allow players to choose abilities that were previously exclusive to one another in the talent row system. In many cases, we need to adjust the impact of these abilities to hit our throughput targets for Dragonflight.

The following are being applied to the Dragonflight Beta and PTR via hotfix, before ...

We’re continuing to make class tuning adjustments based on our observations, the data we’re getting from Beta, recent Beta raid testing, and player feedback.

In addition to new and returning abilities, the new talent trees allow players to choose abilities that were previously exclusive to one another in the talent row system. In many cases, we need to adjust the impact of these abilities to hit our throughput targets for Dragonflight.

DEMON HUNTER

• Sigil of Flame initial damage increased by 24%.
