7.1 undocumented news/changes

[AetherMcLoud]

So, I don't know if that's a change or a bug, but i'm a WW monk and I have the Hidden Artifact Skin and Colors for the WW weapon.
I switched to MW and I noticed that I also have the hidden colors for the MW weapon, although I don't have the original color (green).
The Mistweaver hidden skin is a drop from the dragons of nightmare, and I didn't get it.
Is that something I don't know? A hidden change? A bug?

Pretty sure you unlock the hidden artifact tints at the same time for all specs, since each of them simply says "do 100 dungeons with A hidden artifact" and so on, not THAT specific hidden artifact.

Small change to the Broken Isles loading screen - Varian's swords are now both orange, instead of blue/orange.

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

No, what? 10charts

It's been hot-fixed, but for a while Tuesday hitting the 'z' key was an instant disconnect.

[Seditian]

I like how 4 pages later, people still "quickly" post to say something was already in the game. Even though it's obviously been improved. As for a proper list:

Pretty sure thats just random luck. Nobody in my guild got a legendary yesterday. We all got Kara Attuned and did the 3 emissaries. I still have 0 legendaries on 2 characters.

Just because your guild didnt doesnt mean it is just the "same luck"

There are an incredibly amount of reports of increased legendaries across servers.

[Heladys]

I dont. I fucking hate that place and stopped entering the city the instant i hit exalted and got my pathfinder achieve.

Yeah, screw high-AP rewards anyhow, what would you use those for!

[melodramocracy]

Tonights normal EN run yielded legendaries for 2 folks, myself and a balance druid. Whether that's anecdotal or relevant to any sort of drop rate increase, who knows?

In other news, the EN trash 'workaround' still exists, which I find quite surprising.

[PSYFITTA]

Legendaries seem to drop more. Seven people in my guild got one today (I was one of them YAY).

Probably. Me and 4 from the Guild (total 5) just got leggy yesterday.

We did a run in heroic EN and 3 or 4 leggies dropped of 5 from yesterday.

The pre-7.0 tab targeting logic is now baseline in 7.1, so that CVar was no longer needed.

[Alvito]

Under what? All the boxes in my map UI are ticked.

It is a tracking option on your mini map.

And you get flying gryphons now when you're dead in Suramar now! Awesome.

We already had it in the very middle where the lift is, is it zone wide now?

My bad I think I was wrong on that part.

[Nayami]

Thanks for posting the reddit link. Could someone please remind me how to enable ActionCam? Forgot the command. Or is there a new way of enabling it?

Just because your guild didnt doesnt mean it is just the "same luck"

There are an incredibly amount of reports of increased legendaries across servers.

Theres also the same incredible amount of reports that people still didn't get even 1 and have 0. So your argument holds little to no merit other than personal beliefs, the same as mine. We also got 0 yesterday.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

Legendaries seem to drop more. Seven people in my guild got one today (I was one of them YAY).

i feel like this is true, OR they actually flipped the on switch for that "bad luck" cushion. Finally got mine tuesday from the world boss, and so did 3 other people...

[phoenixia]

The artifact power things with cast time gets cancelled if I move, so deffo doesn't work for me. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding it....

For some reasons, the ones you get with the Kadghar quest (before Karazhan) can't be used while moving. But the ones you get in dungeons and worldquest works.

Also, the "brief history of ages/eons" are cancelled when moving too.
