New Timewalking Rewards
  • Players now receive a Timewarped Badge when they complete a Timewalking dungeon. These badges can be redeemed at new vendors that appear during a Timewalking bonus event. The new vendors sell new toys, new mounts, in addition to gear that scales up to the character's level at the time of purchase.

Timewalking Loot Changes
  • Wrath of the Lich King dungeon bosses now have a chance to drop a Frozen Orb as personal loot while Timewalking.
  • Burning Crusade dungeon bosses now have a chance to drop Primal Nether as personal loot while Timewalking.
  • Additionally, all Timewalking dungeon bosses that had a chance to drop profession patterns or recipes now have a chance to drop them again if the player has the relevant profession and not learned it yet.
  • Skadi the Ruthless in Utgarde Pinnacle now has a very slight chance to drop Reins of the Blue Proto-Drake as personal loot while Timewalking.
  • Loken in Halls of Lightning now has a chance to drop a music roll while Timewalking.

Hellfire Citadel
  • Fixed an issue where players are not added back to the threat list after dropping out of combat and accepting a battle rez.
  • Fixed an issue where Hellfire Assault: Spoils of the Assault chest could incorrectly appear to be already open.
  • Fixed an issue where Tyrant Velhari could not be clicked on if there is an Ancient Enforcer, Ancient Harbinger, or Ancient Sovereign near her.

PvP
Ashran
  • Ashran now has a deserter mechanic. Upon entering, players receive a 10-minute buff called Ashran Tour of Duty. If the player leaves an Ashran match before this buff expires, a 15-minute debuff called Recreant will be applied that prevents entry into another Ashran match.

Quests
Legendary Ring Quest Line
  • New weekly quests have been added to help players catch-up in earlier stages of the Legendary Ring Quest Line for Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry.

Zones, Creatures, and NPCs
Tanaan Jungle
  • Steelsnout should now be correctly immune to being trapped by Deadly Iron Trap.
Ashran
  • The interior of the Armory at Stormshield should now be correctly furnished.
  • Removed a stack of objects floating outside of the Armory at Stormshield.
Frostfire Ridge

Followers
  • Pallas' Apex Predator trait should now correctly counter Aberrations or Furies on garrison missions.
Shipyard and Naval Missions
  • Ship equipment items now have "Naval Equipment" in the item tooltip, enabling it to be searchable through the bag search UI.

    Now that you mention it, it always bugged me how the horse riding animation looks like. It was always kind of odd, could it really only be the length of the legs?

    I'm not a fan of the fact is a reskin of mounts from last expansion, but I do really like it. I'll never have it though, never been much of a mount collector.

    Brightpaw will be mine.

    And LMAO at the "pvp balance is around 3's" lol stop it.

    First of all, there's no rule grammatical or otherwise that says you can't, and second there's no need to hurl insults. As far as I'm concerned that loses you the argument straight away--not that there was one since you are patently wrong to begin with. Have a nice life!

    There is no grammatical rule to not say "seconds" when you mean "next year".

    There are plenty of "otherwise" rules, though. Like, you know, logical ones. If you answer to an "how long" question with some time measurement people expect quite reasonably that it is the maximum expected timespan. I.e. you do not use "minutes" when you need 5 hours.

    Otherwise it is a non-answer. You could use "seconds" to every timespan over 1 second, be it 5 seconds or 500 years. You are willfully obtuse if you cannot see this.

    Also, as a sidenote, saying you have "your head in your ass" is not really an insult. "Existence of words which can be used as insults in sentence != "sentence is an insult". Did he call you an ass? Nope. He just said you have your head in your ass, aka you are not listening/thinking. It in no way different than saying that you have your head in the sand.

    It's basic common sense, which you lack.
