Patch 7.3.5 Hotfixes - March 20, Vilemus, Withered J'im, Arena Skirmishes, Deep Six

Cross-realm Mythic Antorus Now Available

With this week's scheduled maintenance, we're making Antorus, The Burning Throne available to cross-realm groups in Mythic Difficulty.

Additionally, you'll now see Mythic Antorus in the selections in Group Finder.

To join a public group for Mythic Antorus, just open Group Finder (hotkey: i), select 'Premade Groups', then 'Raids-Legion', then click on "Find A Group". That returns a list of many public groups that are available to you. Start typing 'Antorus' into the search bar at the top, and you'll be prompted to select a difficulty.

Best of luck would-be Titanslayers!

Is it still the mythic raid lockout system or changed to loot lockout like normal/heroic?
Same normal rules from Mythic lockouts would apply, just that its now no longer restricted to players needing to be on the same server.

  • With maintenance in each region, Mythic difficulty Antorus, the Burning Throne is now available for cross realm groups.
  • Hounds of Sargeras
    • Resolved an issue which could sometimes cause Shadowscar to move a player out of the bounds of the playspace.

Events
  • Fixed an issue that could cause in-game holidays to start or finish up to an hour early or late on the Australian realms. This also resolves an issue where the Stranglethorn Vale fishing tournament was inaccessible in Australia.
    Developers’ notes: This may cause some events to shift in the calendar slightly for Australian players. Please check the in-game calendar for updated local times.

Player Vs Player

Quests
  • Sapper Specialists should now drop the Keg of Blast-O Powder for the Alliance quest "Powder Play".
  • Lord Godfrey should no longer disappear at the beginning of "The Great Escape".
  • Scenarios to unlock later portions of the Isle of Thunder can now be started at level 85 (was 90).
  • "Rocket Rescue" should now have a marker for the location of the Steamwheedle Balloon.

Weekly Bonus Event - Arena Skirmishes

This Week: Arena Skirmishes
All week, from anywhere in Azeroth, open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i), select the Player vs. Player tab on the bottom of the window, and then under Arena Battles, choose either 2v2 or 3v3 and JOIN BATTLE. You’ll be matched up with teammates and provided with opponents to kill in the Arena.

Look for the following all week long:

  • Archmage Timear near Violet Hold in Dalaran has a quest for you.
    • Quest requirement: Win 10 Arena PvP Skirmishes
    • Reward: A PvP loot box
  • Passive buff: +50% honor gains from Skirmishes

If you’ve been looking to make some Honor gains, this is the week to do it!

Jump into PvP Brawls: Deep Six

Every other week, a new PvP Brawl will be available to players looking for something just a little different. Each Brawl will offer a variety of modes, rules, and scenic changes to the usual Battleground gameplay, and you’ll find them in the Group Finder tool (hotkey “I”) in the Player vs. Player tab. Just like Random Battlegrounds, you’ll receive a reward for achieving victory.

Deep Six pits teams of six players against each other in three iconic Battlegrounds: Warsong Gulch, Silvershard Mines, and Temple of Kotmogu. Each Battleground offers a little variation on the traditional format, such as flags that are a bit closer in Warsong Gulch, less carts to keep track of in Silvershard Mines, and only two orbs within the Temple of Kotmogu.

    Why did it take them so long to nerf DH tank in BGs?
    They made the whole pvp players suffer almost 2 years for making them unstopable

    With Mythic Antorus being available for X-realm, I'm assuming that means Cutting Edge is no longer available to obtain then?

    Also note: Volcanic was secretly replaced with Necrotic this week.

    Wtf, does this mean they're also making the mount rare drop only? Don't they usually open up cross-realm Mythic with the pre-patch of a new expansion...?

    Nah this probably means we're at the half-way point or beyond between Antorus release and BfA release.

    Hellfire Citadel had cross realm enabled on mythic via 6.2.3 which was 17th November 2015 and next expansion was launched on August 2016... Nothing new here.

    It is obtainable until next tier. (8.0 in this case)

    Huh? We know that BfA have similar schedule like Legion. Antorus is up 4 months, 4 months from now is late July - it wouldn't be strange to have pre-patch late July. Even if you count full release it's just 1-2 month difference.

    Meh. Necrotic is only really annoying on teeming or tyrannical weeks. Otherwise it's fine, just need a tank who isn't an idiot and DPS who know when to stun/slow.

    I sure hope so. Still got Mage Tower appearances to chase. :d

    Why not just free transfers? Why make your life harder with cross-realm raids? I don't get it. Blizzard must be losing more money from people quitting the game than they earn by selling character transfers.

    Seriously took them an entire expansion to fix DH tanks in PVP lol, what's the fucking point of doing it now??
