Patch notes would be actually more useful if it also included crash related fixes and stability improvements.

March 26, 2024

Classes

  • Priest
    • Holy
      • Resolved an issue causing Lightwell to be able to use its healing charges on allies that are in immunity effects such as Cyclone.
      • Resolved an issue causing Lightwell to sometimes despawn the Priest’s Shadowfiend when used.

World

  • Forbidden Reach
    • A Forbidden Hoard that was inadvertently inaccessible due to having fallen through the floor has been moved to an accessible spot.

Plunderstorm

  • Plunder contained in dropped piles of Plunder increased by 50% in Solos matches.
  • Reviving a teammate now takes 10 seconds (was 15 seconds).
  • Health Brew cooldown for a revived player reduced to 10 seconds (was 15 seconds).
  • Adjusted the in-match leveling curve to increase the rate at which you level up to 7. Decreased the rate at which you level to 8, 9, and 10.
    • Developers’ notes: Many games have ended with larger player-level differences than we’d prefer. Considering the many playstyles we’ve seen in Plunderstorm, we want to help narrow the gap later in the game.
  • Earthbreaker now grants the caster immunity to crowd control spells while casting.
  • Faeform no longer provides any damage reduction.
  • Hunter’s Chains’ missile now moves significantly faster.
  • Fire Whirl damage reduced by 20%.
    • Developers’ notes: we want to reign in Fire Whirl’s damage a bit more, so that it’s close to the performance of other offensive spells.
  • Rime Arrow cooldown increased at higher ranks, and now has a cooldown of 10/8.5/7/5.5 seconds (was 10/8/6/4 seconds).
    • Developers’ notes: Rime Arrow’s short cooldown made it a too-low-risk poke, often used to deny healing and chase fleeing targets. Increasing the cooldown at higher ranks will give targets more chances to act against Rime Arrow.

pls can we get some class tunnings for retail. If not for balance tunning’s sake then just for sake of stiring the pot a little bit, just to get something new

  • Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall.

  • Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell.
  • The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1bnrmt4/gift_of_ursine_not_working/

March 29, 2024

Classes

  • Evoker
    • Preservation
      • Fixed an issue where Time of Need functioned incorrectly and could stop casting Living Flame when the Evoker had a high amount of Haste.

Mounts

  • Fixed a bug preventing players from seeing their properly earned Coralscale Salamanther upon login. The mount will be mailed to players who previously completed the Into the Storm

Plunderstorm

  • The Plunderlord’s Silver Cutlass weapon option should now be selectable from Da’kash Grimledger in Brew Bay for players at or above Renown 36.
  • Goblin Glue Rockets can no longer apply snares to players in Faeform, casting Repel, or casting Earthbreaker.
  • Any Keg Leg’s Crew Renown rewards that were not granted to players of the appropriate Renown levels are now retroactively granted.

  • Fixed a bug that caused Earthbreaker’s range and visual sizes to be inconsistent.
    • Developers’ notes: The effective range of Earthbreaker has not been changed. This fix makes its visuals appear to be about the same size as the spell effect.

I’m apparently still missing my Pepe. Not sure which other rewards haven’t been granted, but Pepe still seems to be AWOL.

Oh… my… god…

(A) You are like months late with those nerfs to the raid.

(B) You are STILL not tuning the dungeons ! Its uber late now… but why did you wait months to do it? Why did M+ tuning coincidentally stop when MDI started? And when MDI ended, we all expected a mega-tuning bonanza and instead we got nothing… and Plunderstorm… Jesus ! Way to cut short S3 M+ OMG…

Will this continue in S4? Will we have to wait 1 week before WW to get the dungeon tuning in S4? With 500k runs per week you need months of data to tune stuff ? What is your beef here…

(C) Im so tired of seeing plunderstorm and SoD tuning all the time. You guys WANT me to play SoD or something? What is going on !

WHERE… IS… RETAIL… CLASS… TUNING…

S4 begins in 2 weeks you know?.. You cant seriously make me believe that class balance in M+ is perfect and no spec needs some adjustments… And not just some % adjustments… I mean full reworks…

And I don’t see any of that even in data-mined PTR for S4…

Or what? You gonna wait until WW to do some tuning?

What… is… going… on… people !

    • Feral
      • Damage dealt from Berserk: Frenzy and Burning Frenzy (Seasons 3 and 4 set armor 4-piece bonus) will now log correctly when buffed by an Augmentation Evoker.

A see a lot of Hotfixes for Plunderstorm. The best fix for it if you remove it!

The guy/guys who invented it must be on the street homeless! They dont have any future in the video-game business!
