The February 8 hotfix broke “To The Test: Rune of Shadowbinding” and the previous tethercoil quest part of the legendary questline, impossible to make progression.

Just a quick reminder that we pay a sub fee for this game. Applying a hotfix that practically disables the quest for a legendary, which has a low drop chance anyway and not fix the problem after over 24 hours is abysmal. Please do better blizzard.

  • The Everbloom
    • Fixed an issue where Rockspine Stinger’s Venom Burst could be applied to non-player targets.

I was somehow expecting some more balance tuning for shamans.

But who am I to guess that the reason that does not happen is because of your precious MDI tournament…

Can you please fix random targeting of certain skills…

And the double tap of Manifested Timeways… please…

And the crazy HP scale of Irridicron…

Among other things…

Also, can you please put MDI players on separate servers? So the rest of us dont have to wait for the event to finish to get the needed balance tuning? Please…

37

Now all you have to do is fix the drop-rate for it so that the rest of us peasants can have a chance to enyoy what’s left of this patch before we have to replace it.

Still happening. Screenshot from today… nope, not allowed to include or link anything.

Well, it is still happening. I am currently waiting for it to reset.

I gotta say it is pretty insane that this is still bugging out after years and years of reporting, countless forum posts about it here and elsewhere and multiple attempts of fixing it. Maybe add a check for a one-hit kill and if true just skip the whole thing?

The screenshot is on imgur with the URL ending in slash wS66CBf.jpeg

I guess that’s all I can do. sadge

EDIT:

I am now waiting with multiple characters. I won’t try again.

So effectively my chances on a Midnight drop are decreased by one third further from how little they were before. Given that this is one of very few things I actually still want to do in the game …

How can I express my disappointment:

1 month and a half with 0 class or dungeon tuning.

You guys were doing such a great job. Why stop now?

I am gonna complain again because this is absolutely incomprehensible:

What is going on with SoD? WHY on earth do they get balance tuning paches all the time.

Retail… ZERO… what… is… going… ON !

PLEASE: Either start tuning again, OR, at-least communicate what your plans are.

Player versus Player

  • Fixed an issue preventing Arathi Blizzard from being queued.

Hotfix DHs, who cares about Follower Dungeons :melting_face:

47

no mmr buff, just sad

Hello i like your idea

49

Weekly question:

You guys were doing an amazing job tuning specs and dungeons.

What happened for the past 2 months? Why do you leave us in the dark like this…

If you wont tune anything, atleast say that. And why.

50

MDI happened. (Tin foil hat)

Edit: I wonder why the only hot fixed we got were bug fixes after the MDI and/or streamers exploited them :thinking:
