We’re working on a fix to make it so that player weapon and clothing appearances get reapplied when you enter a new match.

Dungeons

  • Afflicted cast time increased to 12 seconds (was 10 seconds).
  • Incorporeal now spawns closer to the group’s general location.
    • Developers’ notes: The changes above were originally intended for Dragonflight Season 4, but we decided we’d prefer to have players to experience them sooner.
  • Addressed an issue where Afflicted Cry’s debuff duration was increased by 2 seconds instead of its cast time.

Items

  • Fixed an issue that could cause raid bosses to not drop tier tokens as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where items from the Cache of Overblooming Treasures awarded from the Superbloom were dropping at a lower item level and upgrade track than intended.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some mounts, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm or the mounts associated with the Dragonflight achievement A World Awoken, from b...

You can leave if you’re dead (in Solos) or if your squad is dead (in Duos) without penalty.

Just stand in the circle around them! You’ll see a resurrection progress bar when you do.

You can also practice this in the prep area before a match. There’s a mostly-dead NPC with a resurrection circle around them for you to stand in, and as you know, mostly dead is still slightly alive.

To be clear-- no. You get the same Renown if you leave two seconds after you’ve completed the match as you’d get if you spectate the match to the end.

You can leave if you’re dead (in Solos) or if your squad is dead (in Duos) without penalty.

We think we’ve seen cases where it might take a short time for your Renown to update after your match is over, but that’s being investigated and not considered a bug yet.

We think this may be the same bug that’s causing some players to be unable to join a friend from their Friends list in a Duo Plunderstorm match. It’s intended that you should be able to do that.

We’ve recently encountered some server issues. We’re investigating and working on resolving them.

In the meantime, if you finish a Plunderstorm match and aren’t able to re-queue for a new match (i.e. the button is grayed out), you can work around it by restarting the game.

Thank you!

Hello. We’d like to answer a couple of questions we’ve seen for Slayer:

The brief Bladestorm from Frenetic Flurry will fit in the GCD from the ability that triggered it, the intent is that it should not impact your rotation. The ability to use Pummel and Storm Bolt while Bladestorming applies during all Bladestorms, not just the one triggered from Frenetic Flurry.

Likewise, all Bladestorm damage events will trigger Overwhelming Blades, including Frenetic Flurry and the additional ticks from Imminent Demise.

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

Each week we’ll look ahead to what’s in store for World of Warcraft, share the latest news, and keep you in the know byte by byte. Content update 10.2.6 arrives March 19.

We found an error, and we’re updating our blog post to reflect this:

The tooltip for the Courage of the White Tiger talent should read: “Tiger Palm and Vivify have a 15% chance to cause Xuen to claw a nearby enemy for Physical damage, healing a nearby ally for 15% of the damage done.”

Hello!

We’ve seen some confusion regarding some of the Hellcaller talents. Please know that:

  • Cataclysm and Seed of Corruption will apply Wither.
  • Wither is instant cast for Destruction and Affliction.

Thank you for the thoughts so far!

We’d like to note that we’re planning to make updates to Mistweaver Monk in The War Within to remove Essence Font from the talent tree, along with changes throughout the talent tree to accommodate this and ensure that gameplay is not disrupted.

Your World of Warcraft® account is precious! Unfortunately, scoundrels and thieves out there will try to take it from you and cause significant damage to the progress you've made with your characters.

What happens with stolen accounts?

Thieves use stolen accounts for a variety of disruptive in-game behaviors, such as:

  • Fueling gold-selling operations by stripping characters of valuable equipment and materials
  • Performing botting activities, making it more difficult for legitimate players to acquire resources.
  • Spamming players with advertisements for unauthorized services.

These disruptive behaviors harm everyone, not just the person whose account was taken. We are committed to combatting bots, gold selling and buying, and spamming while ensuring stolen accounts are returned to their owners.

You can help in this fight!

Taking simple precautions can protect your account from being u...
