  • Tier-18 2-piece set bonus for Protection Paladins' Avenger's Reprieve effect no longer stacks and will refresh the duration of the effect instead.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Hammer of the Righteous to often hit the primary target twice instead of damaging one of the secondary targets.

Priest (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
General
  • Fixed an issue where the damage increase in a hotfix from June 26 for Repudiation of War was not working correctly.

Warlock (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
General
  • Felhunter should now correctly require line-of-sight with its target to use the Spell Lock ability. Previously, it was incorrectly using line-of-sight with the Warlock instead.

Garrisons
Naval Missions
  • Black Market Journal: This naval mission should now have the correct blockade prerequisite for Barrier Sea.

Achievements
  • Filling the Ranks: Tracking for progress towards completing the achievement should now be working correctly.

If someone wants nothing to do with mercenary mode, their experience will essentially be the same as it is now. (holinka)
I don't play human. But obvious question is what happens to them when they become orc but have no trink? Thx for all u guys do btw!
We're discussing solutions to that problem. (holinka)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
While the developers have been pretty quiet since @WarcraftDevs appeared, Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

I would be surprised. WoW is really dependent on mouse + keyboard. But I have no insider knowledge either way. (OccupyGStreet)
Seems like 80% of the mmoc crowd dislikes the WoD changes. http://t.co/aprDb9dkmZ
I can't comment on specific changes because I'm out of touch. (OccupyGStreet)
My experience has been that players often remember how they felt when the game was new. (OccupyGStreet)
They remember that feeling and associate the older designs with those fond memories. (OccupyGStreet)
I loved the experience I had in BWL. Does that make BWL a better raid than Ulduar or ToT? Not in my opinion. (OccupyGStreet)

At lunch we were discussing progression rates in various games. (OccupyGStreet)
I postulated you can never effectively increase game time by drawing things out. You always have to add new rewards to justify it. Thoughts? (OccupyGStreet)
An example might be level rates in RPGs or farming loot in order to be able to handle bigger challenges. Just adding time always falls flat. (OccupyGStreet)
drawing out the rewards will make probably a third of players say Ill never get there. I quit.
Right. That was my thought. You can add more rewards to increase the time commitment though. (OccupyGStreet)
depends on the "experience". Are you trying to take a 20 hour experience and stretch it into a non meaningful 200hr exp?
No, I think there are games that do a good job of offering both. But some people want the shorter version and just get overwhelmed. (OccupyGStreet)
If it was a compelling enough game for me to want to play it again, I'd choose 200 on the second play thru.
Yeah, exactly. The same way you might go do new game+ for a harder version (or move on to another game). (OccupyGStreet)
only if the 20 hr experience cost less $$
Interesting.... (OccupyGStreet)
I think that's better done through design. If you ask people whether they want to miss out on stuff, they'll choose not to.
It's an issue of discipline. You can tell yourself to ignore all the collectibles on your map, but it's hard in actuality. (OccupyGStreet)
I would prefer they just give me the 20 hour experience because dev resources still would have been drained to make the 200.
I like the 200 hour experience in Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed. I didn't want it for Batman. I think it's individual taste. (OccupyGStreet)
Maybe 20hrs gives you the main story directly and no side quests while the 200 throws you into the world like Skyrim
Yeah that's what I was thinking, or at least far fewer side quests. (OccupyGStreet)
I had friends quit Witcher because they were overwhelmed rather than just try and focus on the core story. (OccupyGStreet)

What if a game asked you at first launch if you wanted the 20 or the 200 hour experience? Sort of like choosing difficulty? (OccupyGStreet)
You mean similar to how Bioware had that 'Dialogue heavy, combat light' option for Mass Effect 3, but for open world?
Exactly. (OccupyGStreet)

    I love how Illidan turns his head to look at Leoric, in the trailer, when Leoric says 'allies who I know will never betray me', at the end.

    Illidan was like: "Um...?"

    I kinda want to find the guy who would waste a question to an experienced game designer like Greg Street on a very weak slam on ability pruning in WoW and pistol whip him. A, like that'd be the worstest thing EVAR, and B, that it's completely obvious. Greg, as I think we all know, must have the patience of a Saint dealing with morons like this questioner. I'd take lessons from him in dealing with absolute morons.

    How can you bitch about things when you can't even spell. Jesus mate, you even capitalized a word you couldn't spell.... Wake up buddy

    *Also, worstest isn't a word

    I've already finished with the Shipyard for good - hard to believe I'm in the top 2% of at least one thing
  1. LanceDH's Avatar
    Was wondering why I never got the Ironsides achievement when I have an epic ship of every type.
    Figures my one and only carrier started as epic, which doesn't count.

    Seems like he's channeling the way valley girls speak (i.e. grossly stereotyped californian teenagers), and spelling things correctly if that's the case.

    IIRC a carrier is one of the ship-type requirements for the last legendary mission, though it can be bypassed if you just toss ships at it until RNG favours you...

    What i would like to know (And is probably hard to collect bulk data about) is how many people just abandon the shipyard completely when they're done with the legendary missions. :3
  1. caervek's Avatar
    I have a L2 shipyard and I have done about 12 treasure missions, last night I finished the part of the legendary ring quest the shipyard is required for so won't be using it ever again, terrible idea, and the worst thing is they could have created a raid/5man/scenario with all the assets created for it

    Or if you get exalted with the Arrakoa faction in Tanaan they sell you a ship design that counts as a carrier and a destroyer

    At first, the Shipyard seemed cool once I got to use it and play around with it. But its pretty much one one of the main reasons I dropped the game again due to how limited you are on missions and chances of ships being destroyed just made it feel so drawn out and tedious.

    As for Leoric, he is so much fun! Such a great addition.

    I guess no ones going to bother to tell Leoric about his choice of teammates.

    I don't know if I just got lucky on my ships, but my ships very rarely get destroyed now that they are epic and I don't even bother swapping them out. Now that they are epic I just send them on oil or treasure missions (already have legendary quest complete). I lost like.... 6 ships maybe...
  1. Super Kami Dende's Avatar
    I didn't mind Shipyards until I lost 2 epic ships on a 98% missions today for Ring parts T___T
  1. Shiroh's Avatar
    I actually think it's good design that people can just ignore shipyard pretty soon if they don't like it. Better than being forced to log on daily to do something they don't want to.

    You need lvl 3 for the final legendary ship mission, unless they hotfixed it, but you have to complete all the legendary quests for the ring, one of which is the quest that requires 25 treasure missions and lvl 3 shipyard.
