Hotfixes - January 31, 2023

Auction House

• The Mobile Auction House now properly displays Dragonflight enchantments.

Dungeons and Raids

• Algeth’ar Academy
  
  • Crawth
    
    • Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause Crawth to not appear after defeating the gauntlet.
      
• Mythic+
  
  • The Nokhud Offensive
    
    • Fixed an issue that caused Quaking to apply to players during Blakar Khan's Static Spear effect.
      

Quests

  • Fixed some issues to prevent “Field of Ferocity: Redux Master of the Hunt” fights from permanently getting stuck in an unusable state.
    

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Classes
  
  • Druid
    
    • The Cenarion Raiment Druid set from Molten Core now reduces the cooldown of Tranquility by only 15%, rather than 50%.
      
• Dungeons and Raids

This will result in hp values that are technically lower overall than the post-nerf version of XT but the challenge, albeit a more reasonable one, will still exist with a much shorter fight duration.

I wish they'd fix the existing banners. All except the yellow one have no bottom ends on them.

[Disen]

Looks a lot like domination stone sets, or MoP legendary gems. Wonder if they will be as powerful as those.

[Hawkknight97]

Ok now Blizzard has caught my attention now with the New Orc Stuff.

[Julmara]

im not quite sure but somehow this screams dominance sockets

[Tentim]

Fuck me they were doing so well with dragon flight to now this shit.

Who the hell thinks this shit is still a good idea after shadowlands and bfa?

If the "primordial sockets" come only in catch-up 395 gear from 10.07 content this will be just a useless gimmick

[Tentim]

I'm sorry but bfa and shadow lands happened. Hell even legion.

They can get the benefit of the doubt when they go for three entire expansions without a shitty borrowed power system. Not before that.

You also know they will double then triple down on a terrible idea. The time to scream bloody murder is now.

How is this borrowed power? It's basically just extra trinket slots.

[Zulggun]

Even gems are borrowed power now as it seems. I wonder what's gonna be next?

[Tentim]

This isn't even new. It's just torghast gems. I won't claim I can understand the white knight mindset but at some point even you must be able to grasp what is being discussed no?

[LordVargK]

Finally academy gets fixed. That bug bricked many keys.

[MrLachyG]

im not quite sure but somehow this screams dominance sockets

I agree. holding off on judging until we know more though, way too early to tell whether this is good or bad

[Zulggun]

This isn't even new. It's just torghast gems. I won't claim I can understand the white knight mindset but at some point even you must be able to grasp what is being discussed no?

How do you know? Just because they have effect istead of flat stat? There isn't even anything about set bonus which was the main point of Domination Shards. There's nothing about acquisition, which was main problem with them.

You are making yourself angry for no reason.

So the time to scream bloody murder is now when you know absolutely nothing about it other than the name, the socket item to add one and what the gems do? Yeah, that's a bit extreme. If you want to scream bloody murder then go for it, but it's useless until you actually know how it works in the game.

Got to be the the first one to get those "Hulk mad" like comments in before anyone else.

[Julmara]

i see the legion nightmares of legendaries beeing random drops and these gems beeing exactly the same
what horrors await us if that is true

[Mendzia]

Oh... another 'new' borrowed power system that will be super over complicated and then abandoned in next patch?

[MrLachyG]

Oh... another 'new' borrowed power system that will be super over complicated and then abandoned in next patch?

too soon to tell, tbh.

[Nereidaa]

So I had a bad vault today and came here to see if there were some news worth reading, and surely, mmoo champion comedy central delivered as usual. Keep it coming, folks, especially Tentim. I could use more of these angry virgin comments to brighten the day.


Infracted.

Is it not understandable to be skeptical given the track record?
Screaming about it after it happens means we'll just have to live with it ... again.
