We are done with these restorations, and affected players should be able to select the ghost character on the Doomhowl and Defias Pillager realms and log into it to complete the process.
Please be reminded:
If we decide to restore characters lost to a DDoS attack, we will only restore characters that remain on their Hardcore realm. A character cannot be restored if the character was transferred to another realm.
Blizzard Customer Support cannot assist with issues related to characters who have died on Hardcore realms.
Please do not contact Blizzard Customer Support with any inquiries regarding character deaths on Hardcore realms.
Thank you very much!

Ethereum Void Reaper Model Updated in Patch 11.1.5
The Ethereum Void Reaper model, granted by using the Infiltrator's Shroud toy, has received a visual update in Patch 11.1.5. This toy, which has a 1-hour cooldown and a 20-minute transformation, now features three newly updated appearances.
Infiltrator's Shroud is one of the hidden toys introduced in The War Within expansion. It's a guaranteed drop from the Ethereum Void Reaper NPC, which has a low chance to spawn when using the Treacherous Transmitter trinket from Nexus-Princess Ky'veza.
Tip: The Ethereum Void Reaper can be looted by the first five players that tag it, making it efficient to farm the toy in a group. Even if the other players don't have the Treacherous Transmitter trinket, they will all be able to loot Infiltrator's Shroud.

Lentil Sprocket now sends players to a slightly different location for the X-Treme transit One Armed Bandit shortcut within the Gallagio.
Season of Discovery
Fixed an issue where the Corrupted Ashbringer questline could get soft locked if you died while inside of Mount Hyjal between quests.
Thisalee will allow you to go to Mount Hyjal after completing her quests, and will no longer allow you back into Mount Hyjal once you are finished there.
If you complete the quest “Falling Into Place” and did not accept the follow-up quest “A Difficult Path” before the Will of the Ashbringer despawned, talk to Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to get a replacement. How this Goblin got the Inert Ashbringer in his possession? We don't know, but you're just glad he found it!
Paladin
Sunlight will now correctly benefit from the Scarlet Enclave Shockadin 6-set bonus.
