Here’s the hotfix that went live today in Burning Crusade Classic:

JANUARY 4, 2022

Burning Crusade Classic

• Clockwork Rocket Bot deaths no longer activate talents such as Spirit Tap or Rapid Killing.

We’ve seen some questions about the Tormented Hero title that was added to Season 2, and we’d like to answer those questions here.

This new title will go to the top 0.1% of player-characters in each faction, ranked by Mythic+ Rating at the end of the season.

• This was designed to be like the prestigious rank offered in PvP where the top 0.1% of 3v3 Arena players across each region earn a unique title each season (“Unchained Gladiator” for the current season).

Season 2 will end with the maintenance period that includes the Eternity’s End patch. At that time*, the leaderboards will be locked, and a one-week postseason will begin. After we’ve verified the results and removed any players found to have cheated, the top 0.1% of each faction by Rating will receive the Tormented Hero title.

Because each region has different numbers of Mythic+ participants in each faction, the ranking required for the top 0.1% is expected to be significantly different ...

This week we will be continuing our raid testing in the Sepulcher of the First Ones.

We believe we’ve squashed this bug as of a couple of hours ago.

Thank you!

Due to a bug, the Darkmoon Faire did not start as expected yesterday.

With a hotfix that we’ve deployed today, the Darkmoon Faire will start next weekend, and will run for its usual full week. This is now reflected accurately in the in-game calendar.

The event should operate as expected in future months.

It’s time for one last push with your Arena team to see who will rise to the top of the leaderboards. Arena teams will have two weeks to do their best work before the Burning Crusade PvP Season 2 becomes history on January 11, 2022.

Burning Crusade Classic PvP Season 3 and Phase 3 of Burning Crusade Classic Content will arrive at a later date in early 2022. Stay tuned to the official site and the forums for more information.
