WoW Patch 9.0.1 Hotfixes: November 10, 2020

Quests

• The battle pet quests "Varzok" and "Audrey Burnhep" no longer incorrectly provide an abnormally high gold reward.
  
• During the Feralas quest "Might of the Sentinels", the fight against Cho'gall no longer takes an unreasonable amount of time.

World Events

• The Icecrown area will now shard on Roleplay (RP) servers for the duration of the Death Rising event.
  
• Characters who defeated Nathanos but didn't receive a reward should be eligible to complete the World Quest to defeat him again and earn the reward.
  
• Fixed an issue where dead players didn't receive a cinematic after slaying Nathanos Blightcaller while on the quest “Nathanos Blightcaller”.

Tried four characters I can't get the cutsceen to play after killing nathanos even turned off all the mods.

Disappointing in regards to the world event. The Icecrown rares really need to spawn more frequently and have their health buffed.

[Cosmic Janitor]

Thanks US for beta testing this on life for the rest of us once again.

Pretty disappointing pre patch event. 20 minute timer on rares is really stupid. I definitely thought there would be more to do. They definitely could have put this in the game with the level squish for alts. Also, no they didn’t fix Nathanos. I killed him when he was bugged and didn’t get loot and another two times after the supposed fix, and still didn’t get loot.

Why more health? You get a notification 3 minutes before you can even attack it. So you have plenty of time to get there after being notified.

[vilememory]

How about increasing the f'ing drop rate on rares in Icecrown? I have so many damn Pitch Black Scourgestones and not a single loot drop.

[Heavens Night]

Dead players? ALIVE players don't get the cinematic either.

What the....

How much gold did they give out?

True, tho i agree. It feels odd that bosses die in five seconds.

[Dudas]

Killed 20 rares got 3 items very event much wow. 19min afk for rare 30s kill 30s fly to next rare. BEST EVENT EVER KAPPA!!

Still shouldn't die in 4 seconds... It's so sad.

[Tesshin83]

Interesting that they say they hotfixed the cutscene after killing Nathanos. Killed him on multiple characters today and havent seen it yet.

I dont use addons.

They are suppose to be rare. Not pinatas.

For the reason cited by both @Nnyco and @Ealyssa: They die too quickly. You can have your two to three minutes of spawn protection, but the real problem right now is the lag. I did a full rotation of the rares yesterday and each time it was a case of "did I hit the boss early enough". Spawn protection won't do squat for the player in that regard.

They last more than 5 seconds. I was timing them all yesterday on a high pop realm and comparing them to my lower pop realm. They were lasting between 20-25 seconds.

They aren't meant to have tons of health by any means. They spawn in at around 300K health but by the time the fight ends they end up with 4M+ health which is plenty of time to get a tag in. If you are worried if you got a hit in just spam AoE on it the entire time and you'll get your credit. Group up with others to ensure you get taps. Even with the spell effect lag that was going off (which might be alleviated by turning down settings since it wasn't server based) all I did was stand on top of it and hit consecrate with ~5 seconds left before spawn.

Best thing to do is know when they spam. They will spawn every XX:20, XX:40, XX:00. At this point type /timer. Then when the announcement goes out at XX:21, XX:41, XX:41 click start immediately. Once the timer hits 1 minute 55 seconds then start spamming. You can also go by when he makes the announcement that it is filled with dark power (at XX:22, XX:42, XX:02) and time 1 minute from there.

Iunno, They seem to have a varient of hp. Noth exploded. Trollgore or tharonja were pretty tanky tho.

[Alayea]

YMMV, Lucetia. Most I've seen a boss last was maybe around 15 seconds, but that was because the lag was so horrible.

It seems like today has granted some reprieve, at least. (At least until the procrastinators panic.)

[imperialcruzer]

You need to have the quest. You can ignore the quest and straight up kill him for the free weapon but if you want the cutscene you need the quest.

[Diatribe]

I agree. 20 minute wait is stupid. 10 minutes, tops.
