WoW's 10th Anniversary Event Live

Upcoming Dungeon Loot Change
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Thanks for all the feedback on these changes. As a team, we do prefer personal loot as a solution for Dungeon Finder groups, which is why we modified and extended the system we’ve had in place for Raid Finder. We heard from sources both within our team and the community that the experience of defeating a boss and no ceremony beyond three gold on its corpse, or the possibility of finishing an entire dungeon without seeing any items, felt flat and even a bit broken. Based on those concerns, we decided to roll back a system that had been in place for a week to a system that had been in use for years, while we continued to polish and refine the personal loot system to deliver an optimal experience to players. However, we underestimated the impact and positive elements of personal loot, in terms of reducing contention and drama in random match made groups.

We now have a hotfix in the works that will do two things:
  • The default loot system for Dungeon Finder groups will once again be Personal, instead of Need Before Greed. Full premade groups that prefer the latter system will be able to select it manually, as always.
  • We're increasing loot yield from the final boss of each dungeon.
  • With Personal loot active, each player in a group will now always receive an item from the final boss.
  • With Need Before Greed active, the boss will now drop 3 items to be shared among the group as desired, up from 2 previously.

I know how this question will be answered but still figured I would ask anyway. Any ETA on when the hotfix will go in for this (other than soon™ if possible) so we can get back our personal loot system?
As quickly as we can. The hotfix has to be tested first to make sure it works before being implemented.

WoW's 10th Anniversary Live in the US and EU
WoW's 10th Anniversary is now live in the US and EU and will last until January 6th. It has a level 100 version of Molten Core, Southshore vs Tarren Mill battleground, a Molten Corgi and some other nice rewards. This year's Celebration Package hasn't turned up in the mail so far, so don't plan on that 10% experience boost.

Molten Core - 40 Player Raid Finder Difficulty
A special level 100 version of Molten Core is back! You can queue for this 40 player Raid Finder experience if you have an item level of 615 or above. Make sure you have some time available when you start, as this is the full Molten Core raid. Blizzard is working on fixing whatever is causing groups to be kicked out of the raid before it is over.

Rewards include an item level 640 helm, mount, pet, and special weapon transmog illusion that isn't consumed on use and works on all non ranged wepaons. The mount and helm are the only guaranteed drops, as the pet appears to have a ~10% drop rate and illusion ~3%.

Watcher has a helpful reminder to stop by Golemagg's window to see Ragnaros!

Southshore vs. Tarren Mill Battleground
This 40v40 battleground lasts 30 minutes or until one faction has 300 points. It is a limited time event that could return again every year for the anniversary. The more players you kill without dying in the battleground, the higher a temporary rank you have. The ranks are named after the old PvP titles and do not have any real reward. The higher your rank, the more points a kill gives.



Molten Corgi
The Molten Corgi will arrive in your mail if you log in during this event. This pet has a nice idle animation.



Achievements
You can get a pet, mount, and title from the 10th Anniversary achievements.

    The problem is that we constantly get kicked out of instances, proving grounds and LFR MC.... So I'm not interested in spending an hour, just to get kicked again and start all over...

    The fact that the Illusion and Pet aren't 100% is going to make me go insane... Especially when these runs take over 3 hours AND you can get into one that's 10/10 and it will give you deserter for leaving... Ugh.

    Spent 3 hours getting to Ragnaros, entire raid kicked.

    I'm done with this shit.

    Now fix the issues and dungeon loot back to personal and I might participate in one of your instances again.

    I was actually looking forward to doing it tonight but I'm only ilvl 597 currently.

    For all the loot it gives they could have made the ilvl requirement a bit less.

    I guess for once I'm one of the lucky ones - got in last night and completed it. The raid leader was a sadistic jerk, but competent and everything died. Got the mount and the helm. Not sure I want to run it again and only have one level 100 anyway.

    They are. In addition, the last boss of an instance will always drop a piece for every player.

    Completed the raid without problems, but the BG was a mess. Ranks resetting for the opposite team, our kills were only worth 1 while theirs were worth 10+

    Wow, was looking forward to doing it, but I guess I now know why it isn't showing up. My ilevel isn't 615. Oh well Blizzard. I didn't want to do your crap raid anyways.

    Only thing i experienced with getting mass kicked with everyone else.. Has to be the worst experience i have ever had with a game this week. None stop crap after crap sort it out Blizzard we are paying customers. I don't want to pay for some second rate service even Rift and other games do a better job!

    This whole event is one big massive failure when raids are spending hours in there just to be kicked out by the game.

    Southshore vs. Tarren Mill is increadibly unbalanced. I have been spammin ques all for 8 hours and every singe time I've been crushed by Alliance. I would like to see a change where you only have to finish the battleground, not win.

    You have a month and a half. It wouldn't take much effort at all to get to 615 by then.

    Did they say the BG was supposed to be 100v100? ;(

    Especially not now that they're hotfixing dungeons to be back to personal loot + always drop loot for you on the last boss.

    Lol @ people moaning about battleground length and unbalance and the MC trash taking forever.. People asked for classic.. This taster is nothing, no lagg like back then most people's PC can cope. Like most classic players will say, it was not that good then and it wont be good now.

    They said they were planning on 100v100, a very long time ago. Plans aren't promises, the tech for 100v100 wasn't feasible and they mentioned it would be 40v40 a few months ago.

    This. People wanted classic back, that's what they're getting. I remember classic. The content wasn't anywhere near as good as people remember it, they're just remembering a time before they were sick of dealing with other players. You think the MoP dailies were a grind? Try doing the AQ war effort, or Dire Maul rep, or simply getting your dungeon set. Except most people didn't do that. Most raids were ~10 geared and educated people carrying 30 players that were just there to fill the roster and add minimal dps, only you didn't have the LFR matchmaker to find them for you.

    Oh, and the connection issues were MUCH worse. Enjoy not raiding at all because your guildmaster is having a thunderstorm.
