Woot! This was bugging me to no end Almost as badly as all the "wut"s and "wud"s and "ne1"s and excessive punctuations (??????? and !!!!!!!!!!) out there. Only if there was a patch fix for those

 

[Durruck]

/ignore works great.

Wewts!

The Crust Bruster has had a loot icon and sound change.

'bout time!

Players can no longer send gift wrapped packages via COD.

Down with scammers!

When sharing a quest, the order logic has changed to check whether
or not the player has completed or is ineligible for the quest before
checking whether their quest log is full.

How handy

Almost as badly as all the "wut"s and "wud"s and "ne1"s and excessive punctuations (??????? and !!!!!!!!!!) out there. Only if there was a patch fix for those

Can you work on this to incorporate it into Trinity Connor? By tonight would be great

 

[Tinie]

I found out why they put this in

The items required to complete the Karazhan key quest can now only
be looted by the first group in the instance to reach them.

As far as i understand they've changed it now so only the original group can loot the quest items for the key. Previously you could clear the instance, and invite an entire guild (Figure of speach) to loot the Q'items.

Sneaky folks

Sneaky folks

Sneaky indeed. They do 10 runs and hopefully *one* group will get an instance of Black Morass that isn't bugged. Having succeeded in that, they can push all the people from the bugged out instances through. Seriously though, I have had that instance bug out more time than I've completed it. Highly scripted events FTL.

With the new patch 2.0.7, several changes undocumented in the patch notes have been noticed, which we have listed below (feel free to report anything new undocumented in patch notes), most of those changes are related to bosses/instances.

General

- Reduced spawn rate on Elemental Plateau in Nagrand.

Professions

- Lots of crafted items got their stats changed.

Raids and Dungeons

Karazhan

- Maiden of Virtue got buffed: Her repentance ability hit people for 2k (its not dispellable), duration was also increased on it.
- Terestian Illhoof got buffed: His shadowbolts and imp pet hit harder, its also much harder to unshackle people now (His sacrifice routine heals him for a great deal now as well).
- Aran : They changed blizzard so that it encompasses about 50-60% of the room's perimeter and it moves much faster then it did before. Also his Blizzard/Flame Wreathe/Arcane Explosion trio of abilities seem to be on a shorter global cooldown, cause they seem to overlap quite often now.
- Currently, The Chess Event is broken (Tigole, A Blizzard Poster said, it should be fixed soon).

Sethekk Halls

- Talon King Ikiss AoE spell cant be interrupted anymore.

Shadow Labyrinth

- You can no longer dispel the fear from Fel Overseer.

Sethekk Halls

- Talon King Ikiss AoE spell cant be interrupted anymore.

This was a nasty surprise for me too. Now he's no longer interrupted while kick-ing, counterspell-ing him and such. The way to do do him now is everyone has to go behind the pillars in the room (which are 4 of them there) and they will no longer receive any damage. It is easily doable, anyways. And he might have got his Aoe's range increased..

Blue response:

OP:

Just a simple question to blue regarding the 3 Karazhan changes that seem to have occured with the latest patch.

1.) Maiden buffed
2.) Illhoof buffed
3.) Chess event broken

Tigole response:

1) Yes, the encounter wasn't up to par
2) Illhoof was way too easy
3) Of course not. We would not deliberately break content. We'll try to get this fixed ASAP

Regarding 1 and 2, I'm looking into where the communication breakdown happened that prevented this information from making the patch notes. Apologies for that.

Tigole later response:

We've just pushed a hotfix that corrected an issue where players were losing control of chess pieces in Karazhan.
