Creatures and NPCs
  • Fixed an issue that could diminish client performance while engaging Reshanor, the Untethered.
  • Fixed an issue causing Kelp from Kelpmire to persist if the player was immune to roots when hit with Kelpsplosion!

Dungeons and Raids
  • Player deaths in Mythic+2 and +3 keystones no longer reduces the timer or displays a death count in the objective window.
  • Manaforge Omega
    • Loom’ithar
      • Resolved an issue that caused Loom'ithar to stop tracking the player during the cast of Piercing Strand if they transformed.
      • Resolved an issue that caused Loom'ithar to face the wrong player or direction when Piercing Strand was cast.
      • Resolved an issue preventing damage reduction effects applied to Loom'ithar to modify the damage of Piercing Strand.

Items
  • Araz's Ritual Forge self-damage on use can no longer critically strike, and is no longer affected by damage done or damage taken modifiers.
  • The War Within Season 2 banner toys now use the correct appearance.
  • Nexus-King's Command’s Oath-Bound effect on marked allies is now consumed by Word of Glory, Eternal Flame, and Lay on Hands.
  • Unyielding Netherprism no longer fails to split damage and scale as intended.

Quests
  • More Flawed Rancors are now present in Maldraxxus for “I Don’t Even Work Here”.
  • More Necrorays are now present in The Oasis for “Dubious Intent”.

Mists of Pandaria Classic
  • Items purchased from the Avatar of the August Celestials can now be refunded.
  • The guild achievements Mogu'shan Vaults: The Heroic: Will of the Emperor and Heart of Fear: The Heroic: Grand Empress Shek'zeer are now earnable in 10-player difficulty.
  • August Stone Fragments can now be held up to a maximum quantity of 70 (was 55).
  • Druid
    • Druids’ prior shapeshift forms are now correctly canceled by Amber-shaper Un’sok’s Reshape Life.
  • Monk
    • Chi Torpedo should no longer have circumstances where it can deal its damage or healing more than once to targets.
  • Paladin
    • Holy
      • Sacred Shield will no longer absorb for an inflated amount after Crusader Strike has been cast.
  • Player versus Player
    • In 2v2 Arenas, every Shadow Sight after the first one has an increased duration of 5 seconds.
      • Developers’ notes: The Shadow Sight debuffs in Arenas were originally intended to allow for play against those who would delay or stall games using Stealth classes. With the current state of Subterfuge and other abilities in Mists of Pandaria, it has become clear that Shadow Sight behavior is not fulfilling its intended purpose. This change results in Shadow Sight lasting 15 seconds the first time it is picked up, and then 20 seconds, the second time, and then 25 seconds the third time, and so on.

Here are just some examples of what you can look forward to in some of these dungeons.

  • Magister’s Terrace has been reimagined and expanded to include areas that were previously inaccessible, such as a balcony overlooking the Sunwell.
  • Team up with a demon hunter in Murder Row to expose a hidden ring of blood elves practicing forbidden Fel magic in the underbelly of Silvermoon City. Infiltrate speakeasies, unmask corrupt guards, and uncover warehouses packed with demons to purge the city of its lingering corruption.
  • Windrunner Spire will take you into the story of the Windrunner sisters, where you’ll learn more about their tragic family history. This is a winged dungeon with many mysteries to uncover.

Voidscar Arena is found in Voidstorm, where combatants from around the cosmos come together to battle to the death for the pleasure of the Domanaar.

We’ll also have a mix of four new and four fan-favorite dungeons as part of Midnight Season 1. All eight of these new dungeons will also be available in Mythic 0 during the pre-season period at launch.



We look forward to sharing more with you!

Midnight Delves Preview: New Delves & NPC Companion

You’ll experience more of the story of Midnight interwoven through new quests and even experience the great outdoors—taking the adventure outside for the first time.



We’re introducing new layouts and enemies while removing some of the things that we found didn’t work as well in The War Within. Players will still find the same variety and replayability as they’ve grown to love, however.

We’re also staging a couple of Delves in outdoor spaces where players can use their ground mounts to get around more easily. You’ll also experience new quests to carry you through the overarching story in the zone.



Twilight Crypts



Sunkiller Sanctum



Sunkiller Sanctum

Delves
  • The Shadow Enclave
  • Collegiate Calamity
  • Parhelion Plaza
  • The Darkway
  • Twilight Crypts
  • Atal’Aman
  • The Grudge Pit
  • The Gulf of Memory
  • Sunkiller Sanctum
  • Shadowguard Point
  • Torment’s Rise (Nemesis)

In place of Brann Bronzebeard, the legendary blood elf rogue Valeera Sanguinar will join us as a new NPC companion taking on all three support roles players are familiar with. She will lend her aid in many of the same ways as Brann but, hopefully, will avoid standing in things that she shouldn’t.



We look forward to sharing more details in the weeks to come!

Battle Through Three New Raids in Midnight

  • The Voidspire: Ascend a towering structure filled with formidable foes and cosmic horrors, including a showdown with Dominus-Lord Averzian and Salhadaar in this six-boss raid.
  • The Dreamrift: Step into the permeable veil between primordial dreams and brutal reality in this single boss raid encounter. Join the Shul’ka in their hunt of an undreamt god that never should have been and put down half-birthed abominations that lash out against existence itself.
  • March on Quel'Danas: The story reaches a thrilling climax as the united armies of the elven tribes march on the iconic Sunwell Plateau.

Each of these raid zones will take players into different environments and settings as we tell the story of Midnight throughout. With Story Mode, all players can experience the epic campaign moments within The Voidspire and March on Quel’Danas raids, while guilds and groups can play through the other available modes for more of a challenge.

New World Activities in Midnight

Similar to activities like soup-making in the Azure Span (“Yes, Chef!”), or Shipping and Handling in Undermine, we’re introducing a variety of small pieces of content that appeal to different playstyles, ranging from high-intensity combat to cozier content that takes you further into the lore.

  • Silvermoon Court/Saltheril’s Soiree (Eversong Woods): Balance your reputation between four of Silvermoon's military factions via public events and weeklies in a call-back to Burning Crusade era reputation. Each track has its own set of cosmetic rewards.
  • Abundance (Zul’Aman and all Midnight Zones): Harvest materials for the Loa of Abundance in a fast-paced, super-buffed, professions-themed public event. Available across all Midnight zones.
  • Legends of the Haranir (Harandar): Step into the forgotten past of the Hara’ti Tribe using magical paintings to embark on bite-sized lore-rich journeys. Each adventure reveals more of the Haranir’s mysterious history.
  • Stormarion Assault (Voidstorm): Protect the Void Elves as they activate a Singularity Anchor to purge Stormarion Citadel of remnant void anomalies. This is an action-packed combat scenario where player skill and well-placed defenses are crucial to holding back relentless waves of void attackers.



There’s a little something for everyone wherever the Void storm takes you.
