Take a look at today’s hotfix update:

AUGUST 8, 2022

      • [With realm restarts] (4) Set Bonus: Mad Bombardier damage bonus has been reduced to 50% (was 70%).

    • Guardian of the First Ones
      • Adjusted the Fated Power cooldowns to better align with their ability cadence.

Players who have received a Trashmaster’s Mantle from Mythic+ since the start of Season 4 may still use it to complete the quest, but should be aware that the Richly Appointed Drape quest reward will be awarded at item level 78.

Quests

  • Fixed an issue that prevented “Tempting Fate” world quests from appearing.

Season of Mastery

  • Naxxramas
    • Fixed an issue where bonus loot could not be rewarded when defeating a boss using Runes of Fortune.

Did someone detect fun again? :pensive:

57

Dunno about the fun police but the premise behind putting some thought into this being an issue and not that m+ scaling is still way of whack is alarming.

Here’s the hotfix update for today:

AUGUST 16, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Mythic+
    • Grimrail Depot
      • Skylord Tovra
        • Rakun’s Diffused Energy zone positions have been adjusted, but also now show a warning visual at their location prior to becoming dangerous.

Items and Rewards

Player versus Player

  • Spoils of War 25% Conquest and 40% Honor increased buff is now available until Shadowlands Season 4 ends.

AUGUST 17, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Timewalking

        • Temporarily disabled the Focus ability.

Quests

63

Why is the agility of a 288 adrenaline injector the same as a previous season 262? The buff was no were near making these trinkets actually viable. Can they not have the same primary stat allocation as shadowlands items?

Here are today’s hotfixes to Shadowlands:

AUGUST 18, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Mythic+

      • Shrouded
        • Adjusted the health, melee damage, and ability damage of Nathrezim Infiltrators.
        • Vampiric Claws cooldown increased to 12 seconds (was 8 seconds).
          • Developers’ note: We discovered an issue that caused Nathrezim Infiltrators to have inconsistent health and damage, and as part of resolving the issue we had to adjust their health and damage values. The net result is that Nathrezim Infiltrators should feel slightly less powerful than they did previously.

Items and Rewards

  • Fixed an issue where items purchased with Puzzling Cartel Dinar could not be refunded.
  • Fixed an issue where Enforcer’s Stun Grenade, Kihra’s Adrenaline Injector, and Fleshrender’s Meathook did not reset their cooldowns upon ending an encounter.
