Cataclysm Hotfixes - Updated Dec. 16

While many have already been deployed on all realms, some may not be implemented until the next time your realm is restarted. We will continue to update this thread in the days ahead as additional hotfixes are applied.

December 16
General
  • Bonuses from Embrace of the Shale Spider and Blessing of Forgotten Kings can no longer stack.
  • Completing Archaeology projects will once again contribute to the guild achievement Making History once the player relogs.
  • The Orgrimmar portal to Mount Hyjal should now appear for players who flew directly into Hyjal to start questing, rather than take the Moonglade portal.
  • The old and busted Winter's Veil decorations in Brill have been disabled.

Paladin (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
  • Ancient Power now has a 30-second maximum duration and will properly be canceled when zoning or relogging.
  • Glyph of Seal of Insight now correctly increases healing done by Word of Glory and Light of Dawn while Seal of Insight is active.

Shaman (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
  • The Mana Tide Totem hotfix from yesterday has been reverted. The Mana Tide buff no longer stacks, as this had a major impact on encounter design.

Warlock (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
  • It is no longer possible to waste a Soulstone by attempting to use it on a dead target. The player will receive an Invalid Target error message at the completion of their channel. In a future patch, we intend this functionality to work correctly, allowing a Soulstone to be used to instantly resurrect a dead target.

Dungeons & Raids
Halls of Origination
  • The damage of Fireballs automatically cast by Temple Fireshaper with Molten Barrier active has been adjusted in normal and Heroic difficulty.
  • The damage of Pact of Darkness cast by Temple Shadowlancer has been adjusted in normal and Heroic difficulty.

Lost City of Tol'vir
  • Siamat will cast Deflecting Winds after a few seconds of entering combat regardless of any abilities used against him at the start of the encounter.
  • The damage of Dust Flail cast by Lockmaw has been adjusted in normal difficulty.

The Stonecore
  • The Crystal Shards creatures in the Corborus encounter are now level 86, down from 88.

Items
  • Both normal and Heroic versions of Heart of Ignacious apply 20-second cooldowns on other similar items, rather than the full 2-minute duration.
  • Shroud of Dark Memories and Shade of Death now have different stats.

Professions
  • Pyrite Ore is prospectable at 500 Jewelcrafting skill, down from 525.
  • Darkbrew Lager can be learned at 415 Cooking skill, down from 425.
  • The Engineering item High-Powered Bolt Gun can no longer be used in Arena and Rated Battleground matches.
  • Engineers can now purchase Smooth Cogwheels from Frank Natale using 4x Handful of Obsidium Bolts.

Cataclysm 10-Day Trial Edition Now Available

During your free trial, you'll undertake epic new quests, explore the reshaped and newly discovered lands of Azeroth, and see the world from a whole new perspective as one of the shape-changing worgen or crafty goblins.

To participate, you’ll need full versions of World of Warcraft and the first two expansions, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. Note that a character of at least level 78 is required to explore the new, high-level zones. More information on the 10-day free trial is available in our FAQ. We look forward to seeing you in the new Azeroth!

We don't want to make it too easy for players to skip over in-progress dungeons. What would happen is a Dungeon Finder group would virtually always be abandoned as soon as anyone leaves the group.

Also, I think right now you're seeing more in-progress dungeons pop because, in general, the dungeons are more challenging now than they were when the Looking For Dungeon feature was first introduced in Wrath of the Lich King. Some players may get frustrated and bail at the first sign of trouble, instead of realizing that everyone may have to work a little harder than they're used to in order to conquer a dungeon. (Source)

    10 man is not in the lead. When they bump it up to 25 mans then they can claim that spot. Fanboys can believe whatever they want, but the truth is you know 25 mans are not 10 mans. With 25 it takes more effort, and more skill.

    Not owned by Curse. Better than Wowstead.

    Glad those crystals are now level down in level, annoying to see "Miss, miss miss miss" when you have to kill them instantly. Besides that, calm down doesn't seem like super intense nerfs.

    i find it odd that Ensidia is doing tens

    but i still think 25s are harder even if the difficulty is the same

    15 extra people that will take smoke breaks, not spread out in the same size room, not make stupid noises, not bring out a train, not Lust before the fight has begun..

    i am glad the game difficulty is the same in 25s as tens, i guess

    You must play with some terrible people, even in my super casual guild half that stuff wouldn't be tolerated.

    Wowstead - anyone else having issues with their account now? I can't log in at all and when I request a password reset it tries to reset someone else's email... I cannot create a ticket for this issue as well I only use one email address and it won't let me create a new account with it

    Badly designed if you asked me. I got to character selection, typed my char's name (and misstyped one char) and now i am stucked at 5 tries to confirm its really not my character, and after i failed all i got was i can try again in 3 hours
    Oh well, maybe simple "reset" button would make the job. Or create a new guild should be really new one and add some save button for your progress. Or just throttle the char confirmation by time instead of tries. You get the idea - it should be moron-proof

    When they say "adjusted" what do they mean, they nerfed it or buffed it? Any way of finding an official source on what they did? Talk about vague!

    was asking the same question yesterday in guild, we went to HoO yesterday night and .. oh god, what a nerf.
    normaly if the CC of the shadowlancer breaks he will start casting his ae shadowthingy spell, which dropped us all really low if we didn't interrupt it immediately.. but now? its a joke, yesterday were two of the up (thank you CC breaking warrior -.-) and we went all nuts in vent but.. our healtbars didnt move at all, god. why blizzard.. why? :|
