Chromie timeline possible bug? Either way it's odd

Tried the timeline for Draenor on one character, since left it.

Now every time a character goes into Draenor they have underneath the time (top right) a box with a skull and 5 under it. Mouse over it and it says ‘Normal difficulty 0/40’.

Funny thing is just the one character used the timeline and now all characters have that box when in Draenor, even the characters on another server.

Anyone know what this is about? Or have the same issue?

Note: Put in a bug report but of course you don’t get any feed-back from those.

Any chance you can upload a screenshot somewhere?

If you don’t have the right to post links hit reply, then paste the link in to the reply box, then highlight it and then using the </> button. Then hit reply button.

The url will end up looking like this

Don’t need to do a screen shot.

It’s exactly the same symbol you get when in a dungeon with the skull and a number under it and in the same place.

The only problem is they’re not in a dungeon and it’s only effecting Draenor. Which, as I’d already said was the Chromie time region. All characters on the account regardless of server have the same issue.

It’s nothing to do with add-ons if anyone thinks it might be, as I don’t have any.

Screenshot!

With that comment I’ll assume you’ve never been in a dungeon.

Pics or it didn’t happen

So now I’m being trolled.

Well, I’m guessing since nobody has come forward saying they’ve had a similar problem, or know what the issue is. My only recourse is to raise a ticket.

Already bug reported it, before I made this thread.

i mean i’m sure it’s just some addon issue lol

and if you open a ticket - after 5 days they will tell you to delete wtf and cache folders and if it still persists, uninstall and reinstall WoW

job done.

It’s not an add-on issue, never used any.

It takes 5 min to make an imgur account and to share a screenshot.

Fairly certain Punyelf wanted to see the same as me which is well… Location, location, location.

A zone isn’t simply just one zone any more. It’s a series of overlapping instances. Like the entire WoD intro is pretty much a sequence of seamless public dungeons in a row loading in and out depending on your current quest.

So for all we know, for some random reason one or multiple of those have been flagged as an actual dungeon instance resulting in your predicament.

Or it’s just a addon bug.

Also support will just tell you to delete the wtf folder.

This is why I wanted a screenie so we could actually see what it was.

Sadly I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to. I don’t get a dungeon with skull number under it. It’s not ringing any bells.

We can’t help try to help if we don’t know what it is. No one is trying to troll you.

I had exactly the same thing two days ago and I do not use add ons.

Don’t see why I want to make an imgur account to share a screen shot. Very unlikely to ever use it again.

‘Location. location, location’ - As I said Draenor (WoD). The world content, the barracks across Draenor zones.

Re: add-ons - I do not use add-ons of any kind, never have never will. All I have on the PC that’s WoW related is what Blizzard supplies when you download the game and their updates that they supply. No 3rd party software added.

Just been in-game on one character to test out the Draenor zone changing:

Started off in the barracks the dungeon symbol was there. Left the barracks it was still there. So entered a mythic dungeon and the tool tip changed to mythic as expected. Then I left the dungeon and it had disappeared. Travelled to different Draenor zones it still not there. Went back to the barracks and it was back, went to the same zones as before it was still there. Enter mythic dungeon, the mythic dungeon one was present, left dungeon it was gone, back to barracks and it was back again.

The issue is account wide.

To Punyelf:
That symbol that appears in dungeons has been there for years, if you’re not seeing it then it’s most likely one of your add-ons that’s responsible.

See! Location matters and you have deduced that there is something wonky with the barrack.

So the barrack instance probably got a dungeon flag for some reason, and because the transition between open world instances is different from dungeon instances the flag doesn’t disappear.

Alternatively there might just be something bugging out the UI.

I don’t have an addon that changes the standard UI. However I’m not familiar with what you are talking about. I’m afraid without an image I can’t understand the problem :frowning:

Can you provide a screenshot of the issue?

You can literally link it from anywhere, discord, imgur, twitter anywhere, just needs to be an image we can see.

Upper right corner showing dungeon icon even thought it’s clearly not a dungeon.

Logged on old alt that had Garrison unlocked, set to chromie-time and used the HS and it appeared.

Thank you :dracthyr_love_animated:

That does indeed look like a bug, and bug reports don’t get replies (but totally still do them), there is no point making a ticket, a GM wont be able to fix a bug.

Can also notice that when it first appeared i could mouse over it for 0/40 players. Moving outside of the garrison that was no longer the case.

I’ll go and do a bug report later too when I have finished doing stuff on my main.

Yes thanks for that. That bug is somehow related to the Draenor Chromie timeline.

To Punyelf:
As for me I’d never be able to link anything form a social media account, I don’t have any. I guess this forum is the nearest thing to one.
