Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
  • Primal Fury is correctly triggered when Rake gets a critical hit, and is putting an extra combo point on the target.
  • Starfall should no longer strike targets with which the druid is not in combat.

Hunter (Forums / Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)

Firelands
  • Burning Orb attack range has been increased for the Majordomo Staghelm encounter.
  • The criteria for the achievement Do a Barrel Roll! reset properly after a failed attempt on Alysrazor.

  • Players should never get Rage of Ragnaros on Heroic difficulty. Rage of Ragnaros will only be given on normal difficulty if someone on the legendary quest line has 250 shards.

Item Sets
  • The Burning Treant and Fiery Imp pets summoned by the Balance druid and warlock tier-12 sets now have reduced damage taken from area-of-effect spells, consistent with other combat pets.
  • The Smoldering Rune buff from the death knight tier-12 2-piece set bonus is now properly cleared off of the character if he/she does not have the set bonus the next time it ticks for runic power.
  • The Spirit buff gained from the 4-piece priest tier-11 set will be lost if the priest casts any spell or uses any ability while not wearing the set.
  • The warrior tier-12 4-piece damage-dealing set bonus is now properly activating, even if a Mortal Strike or Raging Blow attack is fully absorbed.

PvP
Strand of the Ancients
  • Stampeding Roar (druid spell) no longer grants a speed boost to Demolishers.

Quests & Creatures
Hyjal Regrowth & Molten Front
  • Molten Lords should no longer stay tapped by the first player who damages them while on the bombing run for the quest Fire in the Skies.

  • On Saturday, watch the contestants’ arduous climb through the double-elimination brackets. We expect skilful manoeuvres, all-engulfing battles, and combatants emerging heroically from this clash of the best.
  • On Sunday you’ll be able to witness one grand final after the other. Steel yourselves for this feast of top-notch eSports entertainment and stay tuned for the celebration of the grand winners.

See you in Warsaw (or else you’ll see us).

From reading the descriptions the achievements don't seem to be very difficult if you do them on normal-difficulty.
    They probably were as surprise as you were that no one else had gotten the achievement as well, saw that they were out of the race for a world first kill so they opted to concentrate on the achievements instead.

    However, I'm not surprised it took this long. Look at how long it took anyone to get the final achievement in Bastion of Twilight, it was about 4-5 months before that one was achieved.

    Yeah, wrong fix in my mind. Should made them attack a tank when they're the only ones left, oh well. It's not awful that they allow bosses to be solo'd, but I don't think they should go out of their way to make them soloable.

    Well the Alysrazor achievement was bugged, it was hotfixed yesterday, that's why nobody had it before probably.

    It was still doable though, just had to be done on the first attempt as we did.

    That mount looks like shit. I can't even tell if its a drake or a hippogryph. Blizzard should really make it look better, that achieve must have been a bitch.

    But if you solo it it doesn't target the tank.

    Speaking as a Software Engineer, when you get a new person on the team, you typically assign them a task that is: a) easy to fix and b) low enough priority that if something breaks as a result of the fix you are not impacting tons of users. Doing so you give the new person a chance to get their feet wet in the system so they can make changes to bigger issues. The change to the LK encounter certainly fits these parameters.

    Of course it is also likely that Daelo (or another of the dungeon designers) saw the video and said "Hey that's an odd bug, I can take 5 minutes and fix this". In the grand scheme of things, either of these is not really impacting their schedule.

    Does not matter if 75% of the guild are not the old ppl from back in the days, they where number 1 on Alonsus since i transfered to that realm at the start of TBC. They could have been nr1 before that, i don't know. Point is they where the top Alonsus guild back then and still are.

    Totally justified facepalm u did there btw. :')

    I dont care if it was 1 man hour only, it was 1 man hour too much. They should not change something because some DK finds a smart way of beating LK solo, this was not a fix it was just a change of something that was already perfect. The instance is designed for 10 and/or 25 people so if you decide to solo it and want your loot you better make sure you kill those valkyrs.
    You are very wrong here.Blizzard showed many times they do care about players soloing some content.

    A drake or hippogryph lol? Well if it were one of those two, I'll grant ya, it would be pretty ugly by that standard.

    Second, you're just whining about something that doesn't matter. They fixed it - so what. I'm sure the decision they faced was not "fix all current content" or "make a tiny almost inconsequential ICC change."

    Honestly I'm pretty sure the next hero class is Whiner and most of the people on here are going to roll several....
    This is so true !
