10.0.2 Known Issues - Updated November 29

Classes

Demon Hunter
  • Shattered Restoration does not increase the healing of Soul Fragments from Shattered Souls, and does not update the tooltip values of Shattered Souls.
  • Infernal Armor thorns damage tooltip value does not update with second rank with talent point unallocated.
  • Vengeance
    • Fodder to the Flame Condemned Demon does not die with one Throw Glaive.

Druid
  • Feral
    • Freedom of the Herd (PvP) tooltip mentions incorrect cooldown reduction.

Evoker
  • Casting an empower spell when the Thundering affix buffs are applied causes the cast bar to desync.

Hunter
  • Call of the Wild summoned pets temporarily prevent the use of Mend Pet.
  • Serrated Shots does not increase damage from Hit the Mark.
  • Animal Companion reduces the damage done by Call of the Wild.
  • Wind Arrow is doubly affected by Mastery: Sniper Training.
  • Sentinel Owl highlight will display as a loot beam animation if Outline Mode is disabled.
  • Quick Shot will not proc if your weapon is transmogrified to a different weapon type.

Paladin
  • Protection
    • Shining Light secondary proc does not appear on Personal Resource UI.

Rogue
  • Dungeon and Raid enemies are immune to Distract.

Shaman
  • Lightning, Earth, and Water Shields’ auras disappear upon entering an instance or logging out.

Dragonriding
  • Renewed Proto-Drake and Highland Drake UI will break when previewing other drakes with the Storm-Eater and Crimson Gladiator Skin on.

Dungeons and Raids
  • Ruby Life Pools
    • Kyrakka has no aggro table until it has fully landed at 50% health.
    • If Kyrakka is defeated before Erkhart, the Flaming Embers pools of area denial do not harm players.
  • Scholomance
    • Warriors’ Charge ability can cause a disconnect or death.
  • Temple of the Jade Serpent
    • Warriors’ Charge ability can cause a disconnect or death.

Items
  • Kharnalex, The First Light displays ‘Adventurer’ as an eligible class.

Player Characters
  • The Leather Renown transmog set is available to everyone.
  • Pandaren may display pink, un-textured hair in the transmog window for backpacks.
  • There are unobtainable appearances in two Dracthyr Battlegear transmog Sets, preventing completion of the sets.

Player versus Player
  • Players are unable to earn Vicious Saddles during Dragonflight Season 1.
  • Enigma Crucible and Empyrean Domain are unavailable.
  • Nokhudon Proving Grounds
    • Ground-targeted abilities (such as Ring of Frost or Rain of Fire) that are cast on the ramps located in the arena can be difficult to see.

Professions

  • Mining
    • The Titan-Touched sub-path for the Master of the Elements Specialization tree is incorrectly showing the description for the 40 point capper as the unlock point capper and vice versa. The intended effect is that unlocking Titan Touched provides a short term player buff when you mine the node, and the Titan-Touched 40 point capper unlocks the ability to return to portals created by Overloading Titan-Touched nodes.

Quests
  • On “The Other Side”, one character opening the vault does so for other characters.
  • In the Darkshore Warfront, Maiev Shadowsong will reset after casting “Mass Vengeance”.

    • “The Nokhud Offensive: Founders Keepers” is missing quest loot.
  • Thaldraszus
    • On “The Once and Future Team”, abandoning the Quest after defeating the Colossal Causality changes the number of the Timewalker Wardens that approach.
    • On “Banquet Battle” interacting with tables causes unexpected camera behavior.
    • Resetting the “Ancient Protector” Bonus Objective encounter will cause the Ancient Protector to be untargetable.
  • The Forbidden Reach
    • “Final Order” displays empty quest text at turn-in while in-progress.

User Interface
  • On the character select screen, characters cannot be moved via drag-and-drop.
  • The UI can only display four rewards for Major Factions - Renown Rewards.
  • Press-and-Hold can have a casting delay compared to repeatedly pressing the key.

This is a top priority, and we expect to deploy additional fixes over the next day.

Dragonflight Season 1 Starts December 13

Dragonflight Season 1 will feature a new dungeon rotation for Mythic+. Four dungeons from Dragonflight are included, and four returning dungeons from previous expansions. Here’s the full lineup:

  • Ruby Life Pools
  • The Nokhud Offensive
  • The Azure Vault
  • Algeth’ar Academy
  • Halls of Valor (from the Legion™ expansion)
  • Court of Stars (from the Legion™ expansion)
  • Shadowmoon Burial Grounds (from the Warlords of Draenor™ expansion)
  • Temple of the Jade Serpent (from the Mists of Pandaria™ expansion)



Court of Stars, one of the dungeons returning in Dragonflight Season 1

M+ and PvP Season 1 will also begin the week of December 12 with regional maintenance. For Dragonflight, there will be no loot caps for Mythic+ on the first week, as Mythic Vault of the Incarnates will open at the same time.

Mythic+ Dungeon Affixes

For Season 1, we're introducing a new affix, but the Necrotic and Inspiring affixes won't be making an appearance. More information on this new affix will be released at a later date.

A Rewarding New Season Ahead

Dragonflight Season 1 will feature familiar exclusive rewards such as the Ahead of the Curve and Cutting Edge achievements for raids, Keystone Master achievements, rewards for Mythic+, and Gladiator rewards for PvP. Closer to the start of Season 1, we’ll share more information on seasonal rewards and how to obtain them.

New Vault of the Incarnates Raid Opens December 13

Unravel the mysteries of the Vault of the Incarnates

Vault of the Incarnates is the first raid players will experience in Dragonflight, featuring eight all-new boss encounters.


The Primalists breached the Titan prison used to hold the Incarnates for millennia. Within, Raszageth performs a foul ritual to unleash her siblings so together they can purge the world of the Titans' influence. The champions of Azeroth must assault this impregnable fortress and break their defenses to end this threat. While many could fall, defeat condemns all the realms to the Incarnates' reign of fire and blood.


Raid Release Schedule:

  • Week of December 12: Normal, Heroic, and Mythic Vault of the Incarnates will open with the weekly maintenance for each region
  • Week of December 19: Vault of the Incarnates Raid Finder Wing 1 opens
  • Week of January 2: Vault of the Incarnates Raid Finder Wing 2 opens
  • Week of January 16: Vault of the Incarnates Raid Finder Wing 3 opens

Cross-Faction Mythic and Hall of Fame Eligibility

Cross-faction Mythic Vault of the Incarnates will be available from the start. Hall of Fame entries will require at least 16 out of 20 raiders to be from the same guild and faction to be eligible for rewards. See this support article for more information.
