Darkmoon Faire Races
This month brings some more races to the Darkmoon Faire, in addition to the other Patch 6.1 changes. The first race uses the same course as last month, allowing you to earn Rocketeer: Gold and the Everlasting Darkmoon Firework fairly easily.

The other two races use a new course that is more challenging. These reward Big Rocketeer: Gold (Race MiniZep Controller) and Big Race Roadhog (Checkered Flag). Keep in mind that the Checkered Flag only has 50 charges and that is the more difficult of the two achievements to complete. This can be done solo if RNG lines up just right or with the help of a friend.

The new course has new powerups as well. Everything other than the speed boots and coins rotates through the buffs, so they are constantly changing. There are two new buffs, one being a rocket that shoots you up in the air and the other being a small blue portal that rushes you ahead like Disengage. You can collect coins to power your final ability. There is also a new obstacle on this course, mini-zeppelins. These will shoot you and slow you down if you get too close to them.

No plans at this time. (WarcraftDevs)

hi guys, love your game. wondering why there is no heirloom mount that works for new Pandaren characters, is that intended?
This is a side-effect of the chauffeured mount being affiliated w/ Alliance or Horde. It’ll work once you choose a faction. (WarcraftDevs)

with Heirlooms now going up to lvl 100, can we have them drop from Garrosh again? Main draw of those was look/90-100 scaling.
Those were a reward for doing the content when it was relevant, and there are no plans to bring them back at this time. (WarcraftDevs)

Could the Polished Helm of Valor possibly get a change? Both it and the Might have Haste, which the Valor set is Crit-based.
Thank you for the feedback. This and other Heirloom stat changes are being addressed in an upcoming patch. (WarcraftDevs)

Can the Follower Trait and Follower Ability Retraining items stack please?
Items that don't have a high stack amount are our gentle way of encouraging their frequent use. (WarcraftDevs)

    I've been wanting racing in wow forever. But I haven't gone near this pile of puke. I want real racing with leagues and rewards and competition. All month long not some stupid gimmick once a month.

Now, that doesn't hinder me in playing them "to their fullest potential", but it really bugs me from time to time that I can't transmog into the CM set. I really like the mage CM gear and I really wish I got it back when it was available.

    I already completed it twice on two classes, so why should I not earn the rewards on my mage and my hunter too? It somewhat restricts which characters you want to put time into (as all of the sets, in my opinion, look really really good) and having the set on character x and not on character y is very frustrating in hindsight despite class changes, rerolling to a new class etc.
    Um, that's not anywhere near what people are asking for. They want account wide cm gear that YOU UNLOCKED. Which means if you did 9/9 on a pally but stopped playing him and made a new pally on another server you should be allowed to have your cm gear on the new pally. Not a fucking mage you didn't earn it on. People have no concept of reality.

    Now, what I would be okay with is unlocking the xmog for any class you earned it on, so that if you made an alt of the same class, they could use it. But if you didn't complete it with the class in question, you don't deserve it imho.
    Meh, I don't get why you think you don't deserve it on that character. You already completed it on 9 other classes. It can't be that hard to do it on a priest as well then? WoW should continue moving towards account wide progression rather than character progression. The game has been out over 10 years. The majority has leveled up and stuck with more than one single character throughout their playtime.

    I'm glad to see mounts, pets and achievements have been made account wide. And I also think challenge mode rewards should be account wide too. If you have to prove yourself on that class to earn the reward, then bake it into the WoD CMs, so that when you do 8/8 WoD gold CMs, you also earn the 9/9 gold CM reward from MoP if you have Challenge Conqueror: Gold on your account, but not on that character.

    Fun thing is, Blizzard still have not fixed timer bug at DMF race. You know, that beloved bug when you cross first checkpoint at 3, and second after you're suddenly at 5.

    Is there a way to get to DMF directly from Garrison?

    Items that don't have a high stack amount are our idiotic way taking up your already limited bag space.


    Fixed that for them

    Or the geniuses over at blizz HQ could not make choices that tax bag space more. No reason to force players to use an item before they want to.

    Because completing 9/9 Gold on a priest is not the same as doing 9/9 Gold on a monk or warrior. Knowing the ends and outs of that classes abilities and how to use them effectively was paramount to success.

    Now obviously at the end you could have been carried to 9/9 or even paid for it, which then makes my opinion moot. But to that end, I'd say that as someone who did all of mine legitimately, I really wouldn't want to see others rewarded with the other xmog sets.

    The fact is, this was a limited time offer. Shoot, I'd only done it on 5 toons/ classes two weeks before they were removed. I knocked out 6 more toons/ 5 classes those last two weeks to ensure I had the xmogs.

    What you are suggesting, would make all the time I invested be wasted. I had 9/9 Gold on my first toon right as ToT released. That's countless hours that I spent that would become meaningless by your proposal.

    I'm not saying it won't happen, as Blizzard makes gear worthless after every new major patch release, thus making those hours seem wasted as well technically, but personally, in this instance, I'd rather they not.

    small blue portal that rushes you ahead like Disengage.
    It's actually a lot like Blink. It won't shoot you off ledges, and you won't impact anything you are accelerated through.

    (Disengage is also backwards).

    The people that keep asking for the retraining items to be stackable are seriously retarded,they were never meant to be stackable and never will be when will you get this through to your thick skull,the follower system was designed to have a simple way to change your stats when you wanted to,not keep spamming it until you get the trait you want like some spoil entitled child,just be happy with what you've got instead of trying to master everything...

    Not only does it update once an hour, it's doing it by 1%.

    Assuming the price keeps going up and doesn't settle out or rise by less than 1%, we can see the price to be:

    After 24 hours: 38,092
    After 48 hours: 48366
    After 72 hours: 61411

    I'd think it would probably settle out by that time, or maybe keep going. There might be updates where the price doesn't go up at all, or up by a fraction of a percent, but it stands to reason that people have a lot of spare gold to spend, and there's a lot waiting for the price to rise sot hey can get the maximum gold out of it.

    Well, it looks like it's a good time to buy gold, er, tokens.
