World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Greetings raiders,

The team has been working diligently on the full Vault of the Incarnates raid experience, but unfortunately it won’t be ready in time for the currently scheduled Normal and Raid Finder weekend play tests. We’ll be postponing Normal and Raid Finder tests at this time. Please keep an eye out on this thread for further updates and when they have been rescheduled.

We hope that you’re enjoying the Vault of the Incarnates raid experience so far and we look forward to seeing you on the Beta for the second raid test at 1:00 p.m. PDT!

Here is today’s update for Shadowlands:

Some updates and clarifications were posted on this topic: Changes & Experiments to Raid Rewards in Dragonflight Season 1 - #363 by Scariizard-1547

Thanks for your feedback so far!

Can confirm. Brassbolt Mechawrench and Reginald Arcfire have gone missing for everyone. They’re intended to be present and working for Grand Master Engineers.

We’re testing a hotfix that should return them to duty soon.

We agree. The buff is coming next week (October 4).

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Northrend Adventuring Supplies now have a chance to award ore, leather, cloth, herbs, and gems. Reduced the number of consumables awarded from the supplies.
  • Developers’ note: We received feedback that the bonus rewards for quests were too frequent, too lucrative, and too targeted at consumables produced by Alchemists, and are making changes to reduce the quantity and increase the diversity of items awarded by these bags. There is still a chance to drop consumables, but also a chance to drop ore, leather, cloth, herbs, or gems.
• Utgarde Keep
  • The door that closes when starting the Skarvald the Constructor and Dalronn the Controller encounter will properly open again once they are defeated.

Here’s this week’s Dragonflight Beta update:

CLASSES

• Resurrection Sickness now lasts 1 minute (was 10 minutes). Characters that resurrect at a Spirit Healer below level 10 now suffer 10% durability loss, and characters that resurrect at a Spirit Healer at level 10 and above now suffer 50% durability loss (was all levels suffer 25% durability loss).
  • Developers’ note: Resurrection Sickness—the penalty that is applied to your character when you choose to be resurrected at a Spirit Healer—is to ensure that death has some consequence and players aren’t intentionally dying as a routine travel shortcut. The repercussion of the quick resurrection is that the long standing penalty of 10 minutes of greatly reduced attributes discourages you from playing the game in any capacity for that duration. With this change, resurrecting at a Spirit Healer will now result in a greater hit to your item durability (50%) but much shorter duration for the de...

At about 7:00 p.m. PDT (10:00 p.m. EDT) today, we intend to disable the Skyfury to Angerforge Free Character Transfer path. It will not be possible to initiate a transfer from Skyfury to Angerforge after that time.

Currently, there is a bug with Dragonflight vendors that are causing them to show more ensembles for sale than they should to the character viewing their wares. Ensemble unlocks are not changing in Dragonflight; the vendors should only offer them to characters with the appropriate armor type.

With that said, we recognize players don’t want to have to re-earn the ability to purchase these ensembles, but we don’t want to create a problem where a player might unintentionally purchase an ensemble of the wrong armor type, use it and then not find the armor they thought they just unlocked. So in Dragonflight, the ability to purchase the cosmetic Renown unlocks will be unlocked account-wide and can be purchased with alt characters on the account that match the ensemble’s armor type.

Here are today’s hotfixes for Wrath Classic:
