World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Here are today’s hotfixes for Shadowlands.

OCTOBER 22, 2021

Dungeons and Raids

• Sanctum of Domination
  • Sylvanas Windrunner
    • Fixed an issue where the Death Knives warning aura could be accidentally removed by immunity effects, causing incalculable chaos.

Items and Rewards

• Fixed an issue which sometimes caused the Shard of Dyz debuff to be applied incorrectly when damaging an ally.

Please don’t worry that any original starter gear might go away forever or become very rare.

We’re working on making all of those various older starter pieces available to players who want to obtain them.

Testing for Timewalking Mage Tower is closed.

Thank you for all your feedback!

On the Season of Mastery Beta, the Molten Core and Onyxia raids are scheduled to close at 4:00 p.m. PDT today. (about six hours from now)

Thanks to everyone who tested the raids! We’re working on some more potential tweaks to the them, and we’re planning to do some more raid testing after a future update to the Beta build.

We’ll let you know as soon as we schedule that.

Updated with today’s hotfixes.

OCTOBER 21, 2021

Covenants

• Venthyr
  • Fixed an issue that caused players to be teleported to the wrong instance of the Forgotten Chamber when repairing the mirror in The Shrouded Asylum.

Quests

• Kael’thas Sunstrider should no longer be visible in chains if he is also by your side while in Sinfall for the quest “The “Unwelcome” Guests.”
• Fixed an issue that caused Thenios to be missing for some players who were trying to turn in “Mysterious Soul Mirror.”

You should now be able to create level 60 template characters in the Season of Mastery Beta. The vendors offering fire resist gear and consumables are also coming online, and the NPC with teleports to Molten Core and Onyxia will be in place soon.

Please try logging out and back in if you do not see the above.

Also, please note that template characters cannot interact with the Soul of Iron High Elf watchers.

We’ll open raid testing at 2:00 p.m. PDT.

Thank you!

You are not the only person sporadically getting those errors. Fortunately, they can be dismissed.

We’ve got a fix for that coming in the Beta update next week.

Timewalking Mage Tower is now available for testing!

Updated the PTR with the following change:

Items and Rewards

• Increased the drop rate of Soultwining Crescent.

We’ve investigated this issue thoroughly and we believe that resists are now functioning more closely to original Burning Crusade.

During the development of patch 2.5.2 for Burning Crusade Classic, we found and fixed a bug preventing some talents that resisted specific mechanics (such as Unbreakable Will or Surefooted) from combining with school-based resistance stats correctly. The bug resulted in resist chances in patch 2.5.1 that were slightly different than the original 2.4.3 Burning Crusade.

This led us to discover several pertinent changes that had happened over the course of the development of original Burning Crusade. These included alterations to the order in which spell hits and spell resistances are applied. We brought those fixes into Burning Crusade Classic patch 2.5.2, and we’re now confident that our Burning Crusade Classic resist chance f...
