MARCH 2, 2022

• Fixed a disconnect issue when inspecting another player in a Premade Group.

• It is no longer possible to see Feroz and Elder Ara outside the Catalyst Wards and at the entrance to the Catalyst Gardens simultaneously. Quests can be turned in to Elder Ara and Feroz outside the Catalyst Wards while the ch...

Here are the changes that went live today:

MARCH 1, 2022

Classes

• Druid
  • Balance
    • Fixed an issue where Celestial Pillar (2-piece Set Effect) would not be activated if triggered too quickly.
• Monk
  • Mistweaver
    • Reverted a change in Eternity’s End to Fallen Order’s (Venthyr Ability) Crane Adept’s Enveloping Mist cooldown and cast variance that caused Enveloping Mist to only be cast once per summon.
      • Developers’ notes: In 9.1, it was identified that the Crane Adept guardians summoned by the ability Fallen Order would cast an additional Enveloping Mist if players reached a certain amount of Haste. Generally, we try to avoid these “Haste Breakpoints” that introduce big jumps in power with arbitrary amounts of a particular stat. In 9.1.5, we shared that we intended to fix this problem in the player’s favor, by ensuring that the Adept’s always cast Enveloping Mist twice per summon. However, upon further review, we opted to not make this change due to balance concerns. For 9.2, we made ...

With today’s weekly maintenance, you’ll see following changes to Mistweaver Monk, Restoration Shaman, and Protection Warrior:

• Monk
  • Mistweaver
    • Reverted a change in Eternity’s End to Fallen Order’s (Venthyr Ability) Crane Adept’s Enveloping Mist cooldown and cast variance that caused Enveloping Mist to only be cast once per summon.

Hello! Here are today’s hotfixes:

FEBRUARY 28, 2022

Cypher of the First Ones

• Pets are no longer visible to other players during the Toccatian and Glissandian Protolock puzzles.
• Cypher talent “Trebalim Understanding” will no longer incorrectly state that another character is researching it.

Creatures and NPCs

• The Anima Reservoir in Haven will now have a permanent icon on the minimap.

Items and Rewards

• Fixed an issue where players only had a chance to loot the Deepstar Polyp from Hirukon once a day, even if they completed the puzzle and returned to defeat Hirukon again that day.
• The Coilclutch Vine for the Deepstar Polyp puzzle is now visible across all phases.
• Zereth Mortis’s aurelid mounts will now properly move at a ground mount speed appropriate to your Riding skill when used in areas where flying is prohibited.
• The Hearty Dragon Plume and Fiery Brimstone toys should now work in Zereth Mortis, the Maw and all other Shadowlands outdoor zones.
• The Cypher-Etched Torque and Cypher-...

Here is today’s hotfix update:

FEBRUARY 25, 2022

Classes

• Druid
  • Fixed an issue where Ravenous Frenzy (Venthyr Ability) was not always correctly adding stacks.
• Warrior
  • Arms
    • Fixed an issue with Warbreaker (Talent) not always properly applying the Colossus Smash effect to enemies.

Creatures and NPCs

• Fixed an issue where Gluttonous Overgrowth’s Leaf Storm increased player’s movement speed instead of reducing it.

Items and Rewards

• Instructor’s Divine Bell now always provides its Mastery over 15 seconds (was 9 seconds).
  • Developers’ note: This fixes an issue where existing versions of this trinket used a different duration than new versions.
• With next week’s scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, several Shadowlands dungeon trinkets will be adjusted:
  • Soulletting Ruby critical strike rating granted reduced by 15%.
    • Developers note: Phial of Putrefaction, Soulletting Ruby, and Blood-Spattered Scale were part of a trifectra of dungeon trinkets that were overbudgeted en...

Patterns Within Patterns will behave like the other weekly quests, so it should carry over after it’s become a weekly. You’ll have to complete the 3-day version of the quest prior to the weekly maintenance though, because that won’t be able to carry over to the new quest.

Thank you for all the feedback on the “Patterns Within Patterns” quest. We also agree that the 3-day timer doesn’t offer enough flexibility to complete its requirements multiple times a week.

With next week’s scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, the 3-day quest “Patterns Within Patterns” will become a Weekly Quest, and both its completion requirements and rewards will be increased to provide the same pace of progression.

We feel that a full week duration, along with commensurate amounts of Cosmic Flux and other rewards, better suits this quest. We hope this change alleviates the concern some players had over completing it multiple times a week.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Here are today’s hotfixes,
that I gathered for you. <3

FEBRUARY 24, 2022

Achievements

• Tales of the Exile will now track credit more reliably. Characters who have already completed portions of this achievement and did not get credit will be awarded credit on those portions upon their next login.
• Fixed an issue that caused the Soloist title to be awarded before earning the Supreme Soloist achievement.

Classes

• Druid
  • Balance
    • Fixed an issue where Ravenous Frenzy (Venthyr Ability) granted an additional stack for simultaneous casts (i.e Stampeding Roar giving a stack for both the cast and form change).
    • Fixed an issue where Kindred Affinity (Kyrian Ability) granted your partner too much of a stat increase when Empowered.
• Hunter
  • The bleed effect from Pouch of Razor Fragments (Runecarving Power) will no longer be applied to targets who are affected by crowd control effects that can break from taking damage.
• Mage
  • Fixed an issue where Radiant Spa...

So glad to hear that you’re enjoying the patch!

Hello everyone! Here are the hotfixes that went live today:

Hello Krystallíne!

When Season 3 begins next week, Mythic+ Keystones will be lowered by an additional 3 levels to account for the overall increase in dungeon difficulty. If you’d like to open your Great Vault next week and earn a +15 Keystone, you’ll need to time a +18 or complete a +19 untimed before next weekly regional maintenance.

Hope this helps clear things up.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022

Season of Mastery

• The Adventure Awaits aura benefitting all Season of Mastery players below level 60 now also grants +100% bonus gold from quest rewards.
  • Developers’ note: This does not apply to repeatable quests, nor does it apply to level 60 players, as they don’t have the aura. This is intended to match the recent increase to +100% XP granted by the aura, so that leveling players do not feel unable to purchase their most important spells.

A new hotfix has been added to the PTR.

CLASSES

• Druid
  • Cheetah travel form has now been updated to a new higher resolution form.

Hello everyone! Here are the hotfixes that went live in WoW Classic Era and Season of Mastery today:

• Blackwing Lair
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the portcullis at the entrance of Blackwing Lair from closing and opening properly when bosses enter and leave combat.
    • Developers’ note: It’s possible that players may still experience this, and if the gate is currently stuck closed for you, it should clear up if all members of your raid group leave the instance for at least 30 minutes.

  • Fixed an issue with the “What Is Love?” questline.

Here’s today’s hotfix for WoW Classic Era and Season of Mastery:

FEBRUARY 10, 2022

WoW Classic Era and Season of Mastery

• Fixed an issue where Orc Warlocks were unable to speak to Magar during the “Love Hurts” quest.

The PTR has been updated with the following change to Frost Mage:

CLASSES

• Mage
  • Frost
    • Reverted the recent change that added an internal cooldown to the Icy Propulsion conduit.
    • Frozen Orb damage reduced by 12% (was 8%).
    • Blizzard damage reduced by 12% (was 5%) and reduces the cooldown of Frozen Orb by 0.25 seconds each time Blizzard deals damage (was 0.5 seconds).
      • Developers’ note: After further consideration we will be reverting the Icy Propulsion internal cooldown (ICD) change and instead further reduce the damage of Frozen Orb and Blizzard. Our goal with the initial change to the internal cooldown was to help curb some of the power it’s gained over the expansion from other bonuses and changes such as the uncapping of Frozen Orb, the upcoming tier set bonus, and ilvl increase of the conduit itself. However, we recognize that the Icy Veins uptime it has provided as the expansion progressed is something that Frost Mages have grown accustomed to and losing that power in 9.2 will end ...

There is an Ahead of the Curve achievement mount for Sepulcher of the First Ones called Carcinized Zerethsteed.

We’ll be updating the article shortly. Thank you for the catch Sentenzà!
