Increase Brann’s out of combat range, dammit! Annoying when he keeps blocking every object you try to click.

The item cannot be picked up and cannot be dragged drop;

Patron orders and Warband bank?

How about and actual fix/remedy for the wiped guild banks? Instead of insulting people with sending them 2 or 3 junk items in the mail.

oh wow. still no addressing of the issue with awakening the machine chests not giving you loot and straight up despawning.

      • Developers’ notes: This was a reversal of a change we recently made. Blessing from Beyond still grants players 50% increased cooldown reduction.

Player versus Player

  • Fixed an issue where quest credit was not being properly granted for “Preserving Solo”.

Professions

    • Fixed an issue that prevented Magnificent Jeweler’s Setting and Nerubian Gemweaver from functioning on Timewalking Raid items. This fix is not retroactive.

any shadow buffs?

So you claim you fixed a JC issue, but say it’s not retroactive, meaning that people who got their jewelry from TBC event 2 weeks will never be able to add sockets and thus gain nothing from this fix?

Why do you even call this a fix, you didn’t fix anything for people who can’t add sockets for their jewelry, at best you made it possible for people getting jewelry loot for future time walking event to be able to add sockets.

That’s like a bank telling their customers “don’t worry you will never lose money again because of our app’s bug. as for the money you already lost, well, forget about it.”

I still haven’t received the Trading Post reward for the full bar (Depthstalker mount). When will you fix it?

Classes

  • Evoker
    • Augmentation
      • Fixed a Scalecommander issue where Mass Eruption would amplify the number of targets struck by the Overlord talent.

Any word on a fix for those of us who are still locked out of Dragonflight because we’re level 70+ ?

Anything on Patron Orders and Warbanks?

October 7, 2024

Classes

  • Warlock
    • Demonology
      • Fixed an issue where Empowered Legion Strike would be consumed by other abilities.

Dungeons and Raids

  • The Dawnbreaker
    • Addressed an issue where Void Emissary can cause Speaker Shadowcrown to reset.

Items and Rewards

  • In Mythic+ dungeons, Mace of Transformed Bone now provides a consistent amount of Strength.
  • Gear purchased from Renown quartermasters can no longer be disenchanted.
  • The Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking quest “Disturbance Detected: Ulduar” will now reward 300 badges for repeat completions. As before, it rewards 500 badges the first time on your account.
  • The Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking quest “The Unstable Prism” will now reward 200 badges for repeat completions. As before, it rewards 500 badges the first time on your account.
    • Developers’ notes: Now that Timewarped Badges are Warbound, we want the activity of playing alts to provide a modest bonus. Some players are holding a great many badges, and we hope the upcoming Timewalking vendor updates will provide an outlet for them. We will continue to watch how this economy goes in a Warbound world. Future Timewalking weeks will also have their version of this quest updated.

Player versus Player

  • Fixed an issue where the flag in Eye of the Storm could be picked up while immune after being dropped.
  • Mage
    • Frost
      • Fixed an issue where Mages could stand inside their Ice Wall to avoid line of sight.

So if i dont play 20 alts (cos not everyone has that many free time), i got a middle finger.

Good to be treated as second rated consumer.

Warbound for badges changes nothing in the long run. Some time ago i did just raid quest on 24~ characters every TW week to get everything badges can buy and i just delegated the items to buy to different alts. I do understand if you want to stop us nolife players from satisfying our “completionist” nerve but i do not agree with it. We will never manage to get everything (ATT) with your quicker content rollout & in the end it only punishes those with “only” 10 or fewer alts.

As a returnee to the game who is still focusing on doing content I missed out on because I was gone, I still haven’t begun on TWW and I don’t have hundreds of thousands of timewalking badges saved up and I only have one level 70 toon I am focusing on.
It is INCREDIBLY demotivating to return to Timewalking after a hiatus of 5 years, only to learn that this boon that is warbound transferable currencies that have no effect on anyone but myself is being nerfed. Timewalking has already changed since my leaving in 2018 and to now, so it’s not motivating to suffer through the changes you’re making now.

What, do you expect me to play even more toons so I can get all of the anniversary rewards I missed out on that are purchasable with timewalking badges?

I’m not a kid anymore, so I don’t have the stamina, the time nor the interest to pump through timewalking with insufferable randos just for 200 badges and little to no badges from the bosses.

It’s like being a dog and having my nose stuffed into a pee puddle that someone else made that I’m being punished for. Let the min-maxers min-max, I don’t see how them ploughing through timewalking with 30+ alts has an effect on me. I do see the effect of being snubbed 300 badges on alts has on me. But hey, at least they’re transferable badges.
