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.

Hello i like your idea

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:

51

That is absolutely horrendous.

Simply put, we will get balance tuning on the weeks its most annoying to push keys. On awesome weeks (this one)… NADA…

LAME.

Dungeons

  • Afflicted cast time increased to 12 seconds (was 10 seconds).
  • Incorporeal now spawns closer to the group’s general location.
    • Developers’ notes: The changes above were originally intended for Dragonflight Season 4, but we decided we’d prefer to have players to experience them sooner.
  • Addressed an issue where Afflicted Cry’s debuff duration was increased by 2 seconds instead of its cast time.

Items

  • Fixed an issue that could cause raid bosses to not drop tier tokens as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where items from the Cache of Overblooming Treasures awarded from the Superbloom were dropping at a lower item level and upgrade track than intended.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some mounts, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm or the mounts associated with the Dragonflight achievement A World Awoken, from being accessible to players who previously earned them.
  • Fixed a bug that caused some gear to unintentionally become as powerful as it will be when Season 4 starts.
    • Developers’ notes: We’ve set these pieces back to their Season 3 item levels for the remainder of Season 3.

Transmogrification

  • Players can now view the Plunderlord’s Finery Transmog Set on their retail characters as they work towards earning all the pieces during the Plunderstorm event.
