Mage (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Ignite spreading will no longer incorrectly remove other Mages' Ignite.

Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Fortifying Brew should no longer grant more than the intended bonus when combined with other effects that increase health.

Shaman (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Enhancement Shamans should no longer be prevented from using instant Healing Surge while moving.

Warrior (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
  • Commanding Shout should no longer grant more than the intended bonus when combined with other effects that increase health.

Items
  • The tooltip for Tome of the Clear Mind now correctly states a maximum player level of 109 for its use.
  • Equippable items from Legion dungeon treasure chests should match your class proficiencies.

  • In Darkbrul Arena, Stonefist Brawler’s stun attack should now be removable by effects that remove stuns.

Professions

PvP
  • Experience earned from gaining Honor has been reduced by approximately 50%.
    • Developer’s note: We want battlegrounds and skirmishes to be a worthwhile and rewarding activity while leveling, but that should not be the most efficient method for gaining XP. While we've decreased the experience from PvP, it is still more efficient than it was in previous expansions.

Quests
  • Fixed an issue where faction transfers would interfere with Death Knight's ability to complete the Class Hall quest "The Firstborn Rises".
  • Fixed a bug causing players who died during the sequence of Dalaran's teleportion would get stuck in Deadwind Pass.
  • Paladins should now be able to progress with their Class Hall Campaigns after completing the quest "The Scion's Legacy", by speaking with Lord Maxwell Tyrosus.
  • Teensy Weensy Fae Dragons should now appear more frequently during the quest “Teensy Weenies!”.

Artifact
  • Rogue player should no longer sometimes experience issues using their Smoke Bomb during "The Unseen Blade".
  • Players should no longer be erroneously placed in a phase in Deadwind Pass that makes them unable to complete quests in the area, including "Following the Curse."
  • Hunters completing to quest to obtain their second or third artifact should no longer receive the quest "Hunter to Hunter" after turn-in.
  • The points of interest for the Warrior quest “Legacy of the Icebreaker" are now displaying correctly and the stage objectives update appropriately.

Azsuna
  • Daglop should no longer disengage with the player, allowing “Minion! Kill Them!” to be completed normally.
  • During "The Right Weapon for the Job", shipwrecked captives in the Shipwreck Arena clubhouse should no longer glow as if they’re viable targets for the quest.
  • Players who leave the area and return during the “The Scythe of Souls” should be able to complete the quest.
  • Players entering the Nor'danil Wellspring in Azsuna should no longer be incorrectly queued to enter the Withered Scenario in Suramar.
  • Players should no longer fail to loot several quest objects in the Nar’thalas Academy during quests such as "Study Hall: Combat Research" and “Dressing with Class”.

Highmountain
  • The bungee rope attached to the player should no longer disappear during the quest “Going Down, Going Up”.
  • Mayla Highmountain should no longer leave combat and reset the Wrath of Dargrul boss fight during “The Underking”.
  • On “Murlocs: The Next Generation” and “Oh, the Clawdacity!”, Murky’s abilities no longer affect other players in PvP. Gurrullrurlll mrrrgrglru ruluulll.

Stormheim
  • "Waking the Shieldmaiden" now has a correctly-placed location dot on the map.

Val’sharah
  • Fixed a number of issues with the "Defend The Temple" Bonus Objective in Val'sharah.

UI
  • Obelisk of the Void should appear in the Dungeon Journal for all ranged damage dealers and healers.

Zones
  • Orgrimmar, Stormwind, and previously invasion-affected areas should once again be unified for single realms.
    • Developer’s note: On RP servers, we’re setting sharding and cross-realm zoning back to how things were working before the Burning Legion invaded. This had been changed for stability during pre-launch events and invasions.

World Quests & Cross-Realm Grouping

You can tell if you’re experiencing this issue by checking the quest tracker (which, by default, at the right side of your screen. If you don’t see the World Quest there, it’s not currently active for you. You can re-activate it by doing one of the following:

  • Logging out and back in to that character
  • Running a fair distance away from the World Quest area and then back

Additionally, if you plan to join a cross-realm group to do a World Quest, you can avoid this issue by joining that group before you arrive at the World Quest area. Note that this issue only occurs when using cross-realm grouping.

Again, we’re hard at work on a fix for the issue, but the above workarounds should allow you to complete World Quests properly until that fix is in place.

I'll update this thread with any more information I hear on this. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Dalaran Underbelly Guards
When people signed up for PVE server we were under the impression that PVP will be purely optional. From what I can tell bodyguard doesn't always work.

Bodyguards are bugged. Once they're fixed its a non issue unless 5g is too steep.
We've seen reports of this, just a heads up that we are looking into issues reported with bodyguards in the Underbelly. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    I'm glad I kept Engineering.

    Glad they're clearing things up about PvP gear and ilvl.

    Though,
    I need more transparency on Class Halls, I'm so lost right now.

    So far, so gud.

    O Swifty again? Count me out then.

    It'd be nice if they could do something about Ignite spreading to neutral yellow mobs that are not in combat. So many times I've pulled way more than I intended because there are yellow mobs everywhere, and every spell I cast has an uncontrollable aoe component. Even in dungeons.

    Wish I would have known BGs were the MOST EFFICIENT way to level

    I guess this means they're disabling sharding for capital cities, but does it also mean they will go back to being just people on that server? Or are they keeping the cross-realm capitals?

    Why do people want AH in Legion areas? There is a portal to Orgrimmar and back to dalaran, what is the issue?
