• The most-recent Alterac Valley bonus weekend has been extended. The bonus will end when the next bonus weekend (Warsong Gulch) begins on Friday, September 22.

Confirming that the issue was resolved at about 11:30 a.m. PDT, and we’re seeing all realms with players logging in as expected.

Have a good day!

We’re continuing to work on this priority issue. We don’t have an ETA for a fix yet.

At the beginning of the Alterac Valley bonus weekend in Classic Era, we had a bug that prevented some bonus Honor from being properly awarded. That bug was fixed 1-2 days into the weekend (depending on your region).

As a result, we’re extending AV weekend on all Classic Era realms, so that it will continue to run until the Warsong Gulch weekend starts on Friday.

Take no prisoners!

Player versus Player [with scheduled weekly maintenance]

• Evoker
  • Disintegrate damage increased by 33% in PvP combat (was 20%).
  • Developers’ notes: Devastation’s killing power outside of cooldowns is lower than we’d like, so we’re increasing Disintegrate damage further to help Devastation in PvP. In future patches, we would like to further expand on this effort and move damage out of Dragonrage and into other areas.
• Priest
  • Discipline
    • Penance healing is increased by 35% in PvP combat (was 15%).
  • Shaman
    • Elemental
      • Volcanic Surge now increases the damage of Lava Burst by 45% (was 55%) and Lightning Bolt / Chain Lightning by 50% (was 35%).
    • Restoration
      • Riptide healing is no...

I could confirm… or not, but I’m not sure I should.

We’re investigating this, and we will take appropriate steps to address it as soon as possible.

WoW Classic Era

• [With Realm Restarts] Fixed a bug affecting bonus Honor awarded for Alterac Valley.
• Completing “Fish in a Bucket” no longer rewards gold.
  • Developers’ notes: This change was originally made in patch 2.0.10 and works well in Classic Era/Hardcore, as the original quest provided an uncontested, single-faction, infinitely repeatable, low risk gold reward that does not comport with the nature of the rest of the game.

Dragon Racing

• Adjusted Gold and Silver times for the Flashfrost Flyover Reverse Challenge race. These were inadvertently set too high.

Professions

• Engineering
  • Engineers can now purchase Sprocket Containers from Hobart Grapplehammer in Legion Dalaran at a cost of 50 Leystone and 10 Felslate each.

Rewards

• Fixed a bug that caused Zaqali Elders’ loot to drop at a lower item level than intended.

Random Dungeon Finder will be re-enabled for testing over the next couple of hours.

Please note that in order to resume testing it, you’ll have to log out of the PTR and update your game client after the fix goes out. Testers who stay logged in from before the fix is deployed will not be able to queue for dungeons.

Thank you!

We’re underway with today’s Brawl with the Blues. Please leave your feedback from this test session here.

As a reminder, to join us in testing solo-queue rated BGs, use the Group Finder (hotkey: i), select Brawl: Battleground Blitz on the ‘Player vs. Player’ tab, and then click ‘Join Battle’.

We’ve deployed an update to the 3.4.3 PTR.

Icecrown Citadel Testing

As with the last round of raid testing, all bosses and wings of Icecrown Citadel are available on both Normal and Heroic difficulties in 10 and 25 player raid sizes. The raid will become available today (September 15) at 2:00 p.m. PDT and will remain available until Wednesday (September 20) at 11:00 a.m. PDT.

ICC Bug Fixes and Adjustments

• The doors leading into Icecrown Citadel are now open and players should be able to zone in normally once the raid unlocks.
• The Volatile Experiments in the Professor Putricide encounter should now properly create Gas Clouds.
• The Unbo...

In order to deal with a critical bug, we’ve disabled Random Dungeon Finder functionality on the 3.4.3 PTR.

We’ll let you know when we’ve got a fix for it in place.

Not today. Maybe someday again. You never know.

Lots of people are still doing them and they’ll still be there for you. The only thing you can’t get anymore is the Feat of Strength (which doesn’t add to your Achievement points anyway.)
