Seasons Change: Brawler’s Guild, Challenge Modes, and Last Chances
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Warlords of Draenor offers heroes an opportunity to continue their journey into a new savage land, but before you take your leave of Mists of Pandaria, we wanted to remind you that you may have some unfinished business to attend to – before it’s too late. It’s important to note that many of these changes are affected by the release of patch 6.0.2, which like all of our pre-expansion patches, will arrive a few weeks before Warlords of Draenor’s release.

Brawler’s Guild Season One Ending
Brawler’s Guild changes are coming with Patch 6.0.2 which means what’s currently available in game will be ending soon. Once the new patch goes live and Season One comes to an end, all of your progress will reset and the achievements you’ve earned will be moved into a new category in Feats of Strength called Legacy. Brawler’s Guild will also become unavailable until after Warlords of Draenor launches as the new changes will be for level 100 characters. Don’t worry, though, your membership in this exclusive club will carry over into the next expansion.

Now’s the time to get in there and show your mettle by reaching Rank 10 and defeating the card bosses before it’s too late!

We’ll have more information about what you can expect from Season 2 of Brawler’s Guild in an upcoming post.

Season One of Challenge Modes Ending
If you’re looking to make one last push for your Challenge Mode rewards– now is the time. You’ll have until the release of patch 6.0.2 to make a play for these highly coveted awards which include: Achievements, Titles, Mounts and cosmetic class sets. For more information on the end of the season, you can read our previous post here.

Siege of Orgrimmar Heirlooms
Those who are looking to obtain Garrosh Heirloom weapons from Siege of Orgrimmar will also want to step up their quest to obtain these valuable items. If you want to get your hands on these heirlooms, you’ll want to act quickly. Once Warlords of Draenor releases, they’ll be removed from Garrosh's loot table. For a complete list of available Heirlooms, see Wowhead’s handy list.

A Legendary Undertaking
As we previously announced, the Legendary Cloak will no longer be available to earn after the release of Warlords of Draenor. After patch 6.0.2 releases, players who aren’t already on the quest line will no longer be able to start it. To help you speed you on this journey, the Gaze of the Black Prince buff will run until the release of patch 6.0.2. Good luck on your quest, but remember that your voyage doesn’t end here. Soon, you’ll be setting your sights on the new Legendary item, Khadgar’s Band of the Archmage, in Warlords of Draenor.

Warlords of Draenor Build 18927 - Disconnect on Logout Issue

If you try to immediately login you may also get stuck on "connected", so if that happens please close the window and enter your login information again.

We're working to resolve this issue, although it may require a new build. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Warlords of Draenor - Ashran Captains
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Few issues with the captains we're fixing:

- They spawn too often The captains spawn after you reach the slain quota in the UI ("Alliance Slain:"). The slain cap gets reset anytime you lose a point. If you're constantly winning then losing points (which happens a lot in the road) then the cap isn't really that impactful. What we're doing is making it so that the cap will only get reset when you lose a point on your side of the road. We may also tune the cap up or down based on the captain spawn frequency.

- The beam is too obnoxious Part of this is that there are so many of them, but we do agree it's too heavy. We're reducing the beam effect a ton.

- They have too much health Reducing their health significantly.

- NPC AI issues We've noticed the NPCs are acting oddly when being leashed and entering combat. Working on fixes there soon.

Warlords of Draenor Beta - Build 18927
Another beta build is on the way! Several class mounts are now labeled as being account wide, but you cannot ride them on any character, as class restrictions are still in place.

    "Summons and dismisses your rideable Acherus Deathcharger. Can be cast in Undead." am I alone in not fully knowing what the bold part means? Can us DKs use it when dead now or something?

    Not sure how I feel about the Death Knight mounts suddenly being account wide.

    *whew* for a second there I thought we weren't going to see another Lock nerf!

    Think the acherus deathcharger means you can ride the mount on your dks and undead characters.

    Here's something I know about it.. IT'S CANCELLED! WHO CARES?

    Sounds like Titan was kind of Secret World meets Hellgate London meets the Sims meets Pixar.

    I dunno, could've worked maybe? Bit of a departure for Blizzard. I guess the lack of a powerful unifying vision of the game is part of why they said they cancelled it because it didn't have passion.

    No it means we can use it while we use lichborn talent (which turn us undead)

    seasons end warning...does it mean patch 6.0.2 will hit on October 7th?

    I have yet to miss a kill on garrosh HC with my guild, we killed him 1st in december and i havent seen another weapon than the fucking 2handed axe and now they are removing them with WoD?

    What is this madness? It is not something you can farm on your own efford and your self is to blame that you did NOT obtain it yet ...

    This sucks.

    Hmm, does this mean class mounts are going to count in the overall mounts achievement? Because I have several races of Pallies to level to 40 if that's the case. Gots to get my mount achieves!

    But death knights are already undead?

    lol.

    Aren't they?

    But anyway, makes sense I guess. Wish they would give that talent a spell effect though. Maybe somekind of mega-armored ghoul or something.

    Nice, more nerfs for shadow priests...
  1. ronaldmc's Avatar
    Sad that interesting things from Pandaria I'd still like to give a try are going to be removed before my friends are back to the game =/
    Garrosh mount and heirlooms and challenge modes... At least I can try Brawler's guild one more time by myself.
  1. mmoc01ecec85ff's Avatar
    The mounts are accountwide purely so that every character has them in their book, and will count them for the mount achievement.
    You still cannot ride any class mount if you are not the appropriate class.

    Thanks for that early warning to get my Brawler's Guild stuff done, Blizzard. Oh, wait, it's completely out of my control because I'm only missing Blingtron...

    IGN, Destructoid and Kotaku have no place on my readings since the Mass Effect 3 fiasco.

    That's interesting. I know the Horde and Alliance versions only count for them, but have no idea if Kodos and Elleks add to the Chargers of the other races in the same faction. If they do I'll race-change my abandoned Paladin to Belf (my first Belf).

    So...What you're telling us is that Blizzard was going to make the OASIS? I'm ok with that.

    Yes, whatever will you do? I can only imagine leveling is going to be incredibly difficult without an heirloom weapon. /rollseyes
