World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Hello testers. Here are this week’s Fury Incarnate PTR notes:

CLASSES

• DRUID
  • Restoration
    • All healing reduced by 6%. Does not apply in PvP combat.
      • Developers’ note: This adjustment is intended to be a near net-neutral change in overall healing throughput to give room for the new Grove Guardians talent to represent a non-negligible amount of healing.

PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER

• DRUID
  • Restoration
    • All healing reduced by 4%.

USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY

• PING SYSTEM
  • You can restrict pings to leaders and assistants in the group control menu.
  • A tutorial for the Ping System can be accessed on the Options > Ping System page.
• You can se...

Without getting into too much detail (hopefully),

We looked up the logs for this, and the issue wasn’t a bug with the item. One of the players in the raid got caught with a 252 item on when a boss encounter began.

It was their boots.

When we update Classic Era to version 1.14.4 with scheduled maintenance on August 22, the new Honor and ranking system will be implemented. When realms go live on the new patch, PvP will resume as planned. When you log into Classic Era after the update, you will retain:

• Most** of your lifetime kills.
• Your lifetime highest rank.
• Your current** Honor rank.

**Please note that PvP activities the week preceding the patch will not be counted. All Classic Era PvP calculations done during maintenance on August 15 will be the last for the old system, with the exception of weekly decay, which will still be accounted for on August 22. For example, if you were 90% into Rank 12 on August 15, there’s a high chance you will not be 90% into Rank 12 when you log in on August 22. You may have decayed down to 0% of rank 12 (or close to it).
