Releasing patches and updates don't equate to finishing an unfinished product, because realistically it's not a game we'd ever consider to be "finished". Partly due to it being an MMO and constant updates being a given, but as Blizzard it's just our style to support and update our games for as long as people are playing them. We always have more ideas for WoW, and more content, and it's just a matter of deciding what to work on and when. We have the 6.1 patch notes if you'd like to take a look, which adds a number of new features like the Heirloom tab; daily and weekly quests that send you and friends into dungeons, raids, outdoor group content, and on scavenger hunts; new raid bosses that will invade your Garrison and require a large group to defeat; continuation of the Legendary questline; new Darkmoon Faire content with stages that progress each time it's in-town; improvements and changes for Ashran, raids, dungeons, grouping, Followers, Missions, classes, professions, currencies; and a ton of other new items, tweaks and changes--oh and maybe not relevant for everyone, but a pretty robust color blind settings.

World of Warcraft is constantly changing, and we're constantly working at improving and expanding it. We're proud of the fact that we're able to iterate on and improve our designs, that we never have to be 'done' with improving it, and continue to release not only quality of life improvements, but correct any of our missteps, address player-reported issues, and introduce compelling new ways to enjoy and play the game. 6.1 has shaped up to be a great patch and testing is nearer and nearer to completion. We're excited to see progress through the newly opened Blackrock Foundry raid, and are already hard at work on Patch 6.2. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

why not have moonfire dot scale w/mastery on lunar inspiration talent? Would make it interesting.
It’s easy to miss this, but since it’s a spell DoT, it scales with Haste instead. Some talents encourage favoring different stats. (WarcraftDevs)

Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
any chance of the monk talent Dampen Harm getting changed now that raid bosses don't really hit hard enough to trigger it?
No changes planned; we’re seeing it triggered regularly by gear-appropriate raid bosses. (WarcraftDevs)

Character / Items
Can we get a way to get the peacekeeper sword of Sha'tari Honor Guard spear for transmog?
Appreciate the suggestion, it's something we'll consider. =) (WarcraftDevs)

I may have missed it but is there a fix incoming for Grimoire of four winds ?
We'll be addressing this is Patch 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

PvE
Did a couple of bosses in SoO with a friend. 1 piece of loot on one boss, none on the other. Mogruns impossible due to flex?
Good point, that's something we'll have to discuss. (WatcherDev)

can it [Death Recap Screen in 6.1] show how other people in your group have died?
Nope, but Death Note is a great UI mod if you want to dig into the details of others' deaths. (WatcherDev)

PvP
Awesome work by @VadrakAL on the new ArenaLive spectator addon! Check it out! https://t.co/uvV9KL5NCQ (holinka)

Is it a bug that you can't obtain Enchanter's illusions of Glorious Tyranny and Primal Victory? Coming in the elite vendor in 6.1? They both were added to the database in 6.0.2 at the req of 2400 but I see neither of them in the vendor or my enchanting building
These will be available on elite conquest vendors in patch 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

deaf pvper here, LOVE PVP. Any chance target markers can be used? Would help so much w no voice pvp.
A unique problem, thanks for bringing it up. Main problem with current implementation is markers & line of sight. Will discuss (holinka)

UI / Addons
Any chance of a search option for achievements coming in 6.1? Tired of scrolling through achievements to find certain ones.
Good suggestion. Will pass along. (holinka)

Garrisons
when BRF comes out do we get both Highmaul and BRF garrison missions?
Patch 6.1 adds new Blackrock Foundry missions; they’ll appear alongside Highmaul missions and not in place of them. (WarcraftDevs)

    Almost 7 years on this site and I never noticed you make a news post about a beta build without any info about it. Unless this is the first time.

    Anywho hope we get real changes instead of the number tweaks we've been getting so far that could have been added in hotfixes.

    Loving the Taylor swift fillers doe.

    Wait....Am I reading that right...Hogs is going to be a reward for an achievement which is no longer in the game? That seems unlikely/a very bad idea :/

    Hero of the Storm rewards owners of the Grave Golem pet from the Heroes of the Storm promotion. No word yet on the purple mount that is coming soon.


    Please do not let is be buying the founders pack or something like that ... but oh-well we will see

    I hope the Hogs information is an outdated data left here / an error because it would be really annoying

    I'm annoyed about Hogs; every time I tried TM vs SS it was a cluster and gave up on it because I didn't care that much about the title. Adding another bonus reward to it is kind of a BS move in my opinion. I would've kept trying to grind out a win if I knew that pet would be a reward.

    Not sure why anyone thought it wasn't. Did people really think Bli$$ard would make a mount that is actually cool and unique and not sell it for cash?

    If it does indeed award a pet I wouldn't doubt it if Blizzard reopens it up for a month or so as I'm sure there would be an uproar about giving a reward to something that previously only had a title to it and is no longer obtainable. Mainly for the fact that it's unobtainable unless they bring it back every anniversary event, but then the 10th part wouldn't match up.

    I wholeheartedly agree. I went through TM vs SM 9 times without a win. I gave up because the infuriation was not worth a title I wouldn't use.
    But to miss out on a Hogger pet, or just a Gnoll pet in general which I have wanted for years, due to a shitty imbalanced 2 month long event in which the Pet was not told was being rewarded for seems fucking shitty.

    They did mention wanting to revisit SS vs TM in the future. If it's something that opens up for every anniversary, then the pet wouldn't be missable. It would also explain why they'd feel comfortable adding a reward to something that's no longer in game

    So when will the 6.1 Patch come to Live?
    I am just curious about it, and I am waiting for it.

    Just excited to see the new Blood Elf models in the game and finally have all the Vanilla, and Burning Crusade races be updated.
    Do the Goblins and Worgen really need? I'm sure Worgen do, but Goblins only need a tweak here and there. :L
