World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Hello!

We investigated King Gordok and Cho’Rush the Observer, and this change...

Today, we took the final step to reach a state where there are no longer multiple layers on the following realms:

Atiesh
Benediction
Bigglesworth
Blaumeux
Bloodsail Buccaneers
Grobbulus
Kirtonos
Kromcrush
Mankrik
Myzrael
Rattlegore
Skeram
Stalagg
Sulfuras
Thunderfury
Westfall
Yojamba (Australia)

These are in addition to the realms that we listed on October 3.

We continue to closely monitor player populations and realm performance, a...

I’ve updated the Affliction section in the OP with recent new changes. It now reads:

• Warlock
  • Affliction
    • Deathbolt now deals 20% of the total remaining damage of the Warlock’s damage over time effects on the target (was 30%).
    • Drain Soul damage increased by 50%.
    • Nightfall now increases the damage of Shadow Bolt by 50% (was 25%), and now activates 33% more often.
      • *Developers’ notes: One of the key concepts about Affliction Warlock is spreading damage over time spells on a number of different targets. While Deathbolt keys off these types of spells, it provides more-than-expected burst damage and outperforms the other two talents in every situation. In addition to reducing Deathbolt’s effectiveness, we’re improving the other two options to give more options to Affliction Warlocks.

Updated the OP with the latest.

We’ve implemented a bugfix this week that should now be live in this region.

• Fixed a bug that caused creatures such as Solenor the Slayer to misbehave when pursuing the player. Groups of creatures that commit to combat as a group will now all continue to pursue whenever any one of them are struck by a player attack or ability.

Solenor the Slayer should no longer reset if the player strikes the adds that he summons while he’s rooted, or if the player strikes Solenor himself. And now, if you aggro one of a group of creatures in any zone, and then you keep occasionally hitting any one of them, the whole group will follow you across the zone.

From the original patch notes in 2005:

“When the decorations of Hallow’s End light up Azeroth’s cities, you know there’s mischief afoot! Seek special vendors in Orgrimmar or Ironforge and get your hands on treats! Aid a sick orphan in a little trick-or-treating! Darkcaller Yanka, attending the Forsaken’s Wickerman Festival, and Sergeant Hartman of Southshore are seeking your aid in keeping the enemy out of their holiday affairs - are you up to the challenge?”

Hallow’s End will . . . end on November 2.

Even ends on November 1 so there is still plenty of time to get things done.

Hello!

Thank you very much for your testing and feedback. It was very helpful.

This thread isn’t specific to one Assault, but about the Assaults in general. We are open to any thoughts you have but here are some examples to keep in mind:

• How do they feel?
• Did you have fun?
• How clear are the objectives?
• Are they rewarding?
• Are the daily quests that are paired with them providing enough variety?

As we test the new Horrific Visions coming in Visions of N’Zoth, we’d really like to bring together your feedback on this new system.

Please playtest Horrific Visions, and then reply to this thread with your feedback.

Thank you!

Testing has begun on the Assault by the Amathet Advance in Uldum.

After you’ve tried this out in the Visions of N’Zoth PTR, please leave your feedback on it in this thread.

Thank you!

Hello!

Earlier this week, the Mythic Hall of Fame for Azshara’s Eternal Palace reached its capacity, and guilds around the world have until the next weekly reset in each region to earn their Feat of Strength. At that time, Mythic difficulty will become available to cross-realm groups.

Along with the closure of the Hall of Fame and the Achievement, we intend to make the following tuning changes during weekly maintenance in each region:

Dungeons and Raids

• Azshara’s Eternal Palace
  • Lady Ashvane
    • Lady Ashvane’s health reduced by 5% in Mythic difficulty.
    • Waterlogged periodic damage reduced by 10% in Mythic difficulty.
    • Rippling Wave damage reduced by 10% in Mythic difficulty.
  • Queen Azshara
    • The "Stand Together!" and "Stay!" decree combination is no longer possible in Heroic difficulty.
    • Overzealous Hulk and Tidemist...
