Neuigkeiten der Entwickler über Twitter – Patch 7.1 & 7.1.5

#2 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:24 p.m.

probably a silly question. But will my honor talents reset at the end of season? Will I have to grind them again?

Honor talents will not be reset. There will, however, be new Prestige levels to earn!

#3 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:25 p.m.

Are the Prestige PvP mounts going away with the season?

Nope! The current Prestige mounts will still be obtainable in Season 2.

#4 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:27 p.m.

Someone said that in PvP only the first 34 weap ranks unlocked count, not the bonus ranks but don't see that in blue post? T or F?

This is correct. Ranks 35+ do not apply in PvP instances.

#5 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:33 p.m.

When you switch factions, is it 50 wins in the bracket you want the title in or 50 wins in either 2v2 3v3 or RBGs

50 wins in the specific bracket.

#6 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:35 p.m.

hey team. I was wondering, is there an issue with the PVP world quests? I haven’t gotten warden towers in 2 resets.

There may be a bug here - we're investigating.

#7 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:42 p.m.

Does PVP template works on damage of weapons too or is the template only for stats? (meaning do I have to get relics or not)

Artifact Relics still contribute to your average item level, which increases your stats in Battlegrounds, Arenas, and Ashran.

#8 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:43 p.m.

Will your current prestige rank reset, or will you just continue prestiging the new levels?

Prestige ranks will not reset. If you're already at max Prestige, you'll be able to immediately move on to the new ranks.

#9 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:43 p.m.

Nazak The Fiend WQ up, intended before reset or no?

This is intended, yes. This world boss activates independently of the main weekly rotation.

#10 - Dec. 8, 2016, 2:44 p.m.

I was asked to stop using my Purple Iron Warden skin for my Vengeance spec. Apparently if you haven't unlocked the base color Which is the far left color, then the others will not unlock. HOWEVER it did for my Iron Warden appearance. So to not exploit a bug and potentially get banned. I was asked politely not to use it. Which sucks. Cause I've been trying for 3 months Everyday to get that appearance and it still hasn't dropped for me.

It's technically a bug, but not one we're going to fix (or take account actions against).

#12 - Dec. 20, 2016, 9:35 a.m.

#13 - Jan. 2, 2017, 9:19 a.m.

@WarcraftDevs Why does BMs final trait only boost pet damage by 5% when all other classes boost ALL damage by 5%?

It's actually 5% to all damage, the tooltip is just incorrect (until Patch 7.1.5)

I like the 7.1.5 change to give alts Artifact Knowledge. Any plans to give double legendary equip sooner? The 40+ days sucks.

Yep! We'll be reducing the time it takes to complete Order Hall research in Patch 7.1.5.

#18 - Jan. 7, 2017, 8:04 a.m.

If our main has 25 AK does this mean our alts can purchase up to 20 AK or is it 15 in 7.1.5?

Characters with Level 25 Artifact Knowledge will be able to get their alts to Level 20.

#19 - Jan. 7, 2017, 8:05 a.m.

do we have to complete the 7.1 Suramar content to enter nighthold?

No, there's no attunement for The Nighthold.

#20 - Jan. 7, 2017, 8:06 a.m.

do we still need to complete 'the Fallen Star' Illidan quest line to upgrade our legendaries?

We're not entirely sure how this rumor got started, but it's false - the 7.1.5 Legendary upgrades are not connected to the Illidan chain.

#22 - Jan. 9, 2017, 8:07 a.m.

Note: When Patch 7.1.5 is applied, the active World Quests will change. Make sure you've completed any high-priority WQ's before the patch!

i thought lfg for Karazhan was coming in 7.1.5? or is that later?

That's for Patch 7.2 :)

#26 - Jan. 10, 2017, 8:07 a.m.

Can we go back to having specifics on the patch notes instead of broad "This specs spells do more!" strokes? :/

We'll be providing these details in a followup forum post shortly.

#27 - Jan. 10, 2017, 8:11 a.m.

Fire Mage shows 27% damage aura in patch notes, up from 15%. That is INSANE, kills Arcane competitively. Is this correct? TY.

That number includes individual adjustments that weren't part of the aura (but affected the same spells). Unchanged from the latest PTR.

#28 - Jan. 10, 2017, 9:41 p.m.

Stealth nerf to Travel Form speed in 7.1.5? Why make the current class mount useless? #classfantasy #Legion

This is just a bug - we're working on a fix. Thanks for the reports!

#30 - Jan. 11, 2017, 8:09 a.m.

Prayer of Healing always heals targets closest to the center of the AOE, even if that target isn't injured. Is this intended?

Intended, yes. It now heals the target + 4 nearest members. Healing amount was increased as well.

#31 - Jan. 11, 2017, 8:10 a.m.

Just got a legendary and its item level 910. Do new ones start at 940 starting next week for Nighthold release?

Correct. Legendaries will only drop at 940 after Nighthold is open. You'll be able to upgrade existing Legendaries at that point as well.

#32 - Jan. 11, 2017, 8:12 a.m.

Marked Shot tooltip says it does 586,355. Hitting dummies it only does 411,285???

Physical damage is reduced by the target's armor, which won't appear in the tooltip!

#33 - Jan. 11, 2017, 8:12 a.m.

Wasnt the ingame token thing ment to come with 7.1.5? So you could add http://b.net balance with it instead?

No, that feature is coming at a later time.

#34 - Jan. 11, 2017, 8:13 a.m.

So now that mind seat is removed what's going to happen to this: https://twitter.com/LoLairin/status/818990753980514304

Mind Sear isn't technically "removed" - it's automatically cast. That trait still increases its damage.

#35 - Jan. 11, 2017, 8:14 a.m.

Hotfix notes for Jan 10 are up! Note that these fixes will be applied with Patch 7.1.5 in other regions.

Shroud of Concealment cannot be used during Arenas or Rated Battlegrounds. already pruning after 1 day...... why????

We generally do not allow abilities with cooldowns over 5 minutes to be used in rated PvP. Shroud was ignoring that restriction.

Personal loot and nighthold: tier drops come in tokens(vanq/conq/prot) or turned into class specific items already(hfc like)?

You'll receive the tier item directly when using Personal loot, but a token on other loot modes.

#40 - Jan. 13, 2017, 8:03 a.m.

The Spontaneous Appendages Trinket deals less than half of the damage it did before patch. is that intended? its useless now.

7.1.5 fixed a bug causing this (and Aran's Relaxing Ruby) to proc much more than intended. Planning to buff SA in an upcoming hotfix.

Only Shadow.

8% buff for MM literally is nothing when the playstyle is still terrible now.

#46 - Jan. 16, 2017, 8:57 a.m.

Seriously. Why did artifact knowledge get taken out of the #Legion companion app?

If you're seeing this, it's because you're below Artifact Knowledge level 15, which can now be researched instantly in-game!

#47 - Jan. 16, 2017, 8:57 a.m.

Will the titles of S1 Legion be divided by faction? Or totally like in previous expansions?

#48 - Jan. 16, 2017, 8:58 a.m.

Is Blooddrinker's healing reduced by 40% also?

Its healing is based on its damage, so yes.

who do I have to talk to about restoring ffxGlow CVAR to its former use? invis effect (arcway, il'gynoth, tich) makes me hurl

ffxGlow should have been fixed in 7.1.5 - have you tried it since the patch?

You might also try ffxDeath, which disables the death effect.[u][/u]

ffxGlow still doesnt turn off invis effect, which is the one that makes me vomit (this one)

Glad to hear about ffxDeath tho!

Gotcha, thanks. We'll see about adding that effect to those disabled by ffxGlow.

Yes! Full list in our hotfixes update today. Mythic Keystone 15 now drops item level 885 at the end, and weekly Bounty chest goes up to 900.

#68 - Jan. 26, 2017, 8:06 a.m.

how about if you don't put your 54th point in, and put 10s of millions of AP in at 53? Is there a cap to consumption per weap?

In this (very odd) case, you'd lose the additional AP - please don't do this.

#73 - Jan. 27, 2017, 8:52 a.m.

why has the overall design moved away from spells with a cooldown to spells with charges (that only have 1 charge)?

It's just a systems change that lets us add charges later (via talents, Legendaries, etc.). Curious - is it causing an issue?

not at all, just something I noticed. It is a clever change.

#74 - Jan. 30, 2017, 8:12 a.m.

What will happen the passive bonus we got from having the "Paragon Trait" maxed? We will we lose it?

Yes, but there'll be a flat increase to the Artifact's power as part of that process. Between that and new traits, it'll be a clear upgrade.

Will the power increase be relative to the amount in the paragon trait. Or flat across the board?

Flat across the board, but you'll be able to buy more of the new traits on day 1 if you've spent more AP past Rank 35.

We adjusted Spirit Link on Friday (at 6:30 p.m. PST). It now costs more mana, has a shorter duration, and cannot be mitigated by absorbs.

Is this in pvp only?

Correct - the adjustments were to the Spirit Link honor talent, not Spirit Link Totem.

#106 - Feb. 10, 2017, 9:04 a.m.

Achievment "Dangerous Love" currently not working? Did not receive it after completing the requisite quests.

FYI- We hotfixed this earlier today.

#107 - Feb. 10, 2017, 9:06 a.m.

We've updated our hotfixes blog post, including recent adjustments for smaller raid groups on Star Augur Etraeus:

#108 - Feb. 14, 2017, 8:05 a.m.

Could we please get the talent change buff when we zone into LFR?

Yep! We're adding this in Patch 7.2.

#109 - Feb. 14, 2017, 8:06 a.m.

yeah but how "soon" is 7.2 I'm hearing so many rumors flying around and with AOTC on the line it matters a LOT.

The availability of Ahead Of The Curve achievements is tied to raid release, not patch release.

#110 - Feb. 14, 2017, 8:09 a.m.

Hotfixes for Feb 13 include an upcoming increase to the droprate of Corrupted Essences:

#111 - Feb. 15, 2017, 7:53 a.m.

The Corrupted Essence droprate increase is now live! You are now guaranteed an Essence from each boss, and more can drop per boss.

#112 - Feb. 15, 2017, 8 a.m.

With high-end progression raiding guilds dropping like flies, is there any plan to kill/reduce the AP grind going into 7.2?

The 7.2 AP numbers you're seeing through datamining are just placeholder. More details here:

#113 - Feb. 15, 2017, 8:04 a.m.

We've also just posted our Development Notes for this week's 7.2 PTR build!

#114 - Feb. 15, 2017, 8:06 a.m.

We've posted a fresh hotfixes update, including Mistweaver bug fixes and Artifact Power from Nighthold Bosses:

#115 - Feb. 16, 2017, 8:04 a.m.

The Cathedral of Eternal Night should now be available for testing on Heroic Difficulty on the 7.2 PTR.

#116 - Feb. 17, 2017, 8:15 a.m.

Game Director Ion Hazzikostas shared some insight on Artifact Power & its purpose.

#117 - Feb. 17, 2017, 8:16 a.m.

Can you confirm that there is no benefit in repeating the "Touch of a Titan" Quest when having all legs upgraded to 940 ?

Correct. These items will never have a use other than upgrading a 910 Legendary to 940.

#118 - Feb. 17, 2017, 8:16 a.m.

Well we be able to equip more then 2 legendarys? In 7.2 or later?

Not in 7.2. Potentially later, but undecided.

#119 - Feb. 17, 2017, 8:17 a.m.

Grand Magistrix now casts Cascadent Star more often, and it deals more damage, but her health was reduced. Details in today's hotfix update.

#120 - Feb. 17, 2017, 8:18 a.m.

Any plans to lower the requirement for raid quests like Essence of Power for Emerald Nightmare to Raid Finder difficulty?

No. The Balance of Power chain is intended to reward organized raiding.

Yeah, and it wasn't something that's indicated by the interface at all :\ Really not a fan of this approach.

We agree that it should have been clearer in-game; Patch 7.2 has some changes that make this more apparent.

#121 - Feb. 20, 2017, 8:48 a.m.

Ion Hazzikostas will be live on Twitch next Thursday to answer your questions! Details:

As usual, you can submit questions using #LegionQA, or on the forums.

#122 - Feb. 20, 2017, 8:50 a.m.

A short update on Legendary drop rates, and changes we've made since launch.

#123 - Feb. 20, 2017, 8:53 a.m.

why can you promptly fix everyone else's issues but not Holy Ward? Sounds like a poorly run or lazy dev team.

should be fixed now, sorry about that!

#124 - Feb. 20, 2017, 8:55 a.m.

How could you do that to Gnomes? http://i.imgur.com/O4Wrdto.png

Thanks! We'll adjust the saddle position.

#125 - Feb. 20, 2017, 9 a.m.

We're planning a large round of PvP tuning, plus some Unholy buffs in PvE. Details:

#126 - Feb. 22, 2017, 8:26 a.m.

is it good game design that an 830 Grim Batol TW ONLY trinket is better than all NH trinkets for DH?

We're working on a hotfix to lower the amount of Mastery that Skardyn's Grace gives when used, but increases the duration.

#127 - Feb. 22, 2017, 8:27 a.m.

Can I get some clarification on the Survival hunter 2pc, Some say its 3x and other say its 6x your mastery

With the Survival T19 2pc, the total chance for your Flanking Strike to trigger Hunting Companion is 6x your base mastery.

#128 - Feb. 22, 2017, 8:28 a.m.

will there be a FoS for those who got a weapon to 54 before 7.2?

Nope.

#129 - Feb. 22, 2017, 8:29 a.m.

We've updated our hotfixes post with Death Knight changes, a number of PvP adjustments, and more:

#130 - Feb. 22, 2017, 8:30 a.m.

The new class challenge artifact appearances, was wondering do you need to do them for each spec or just one to unlock all.

The challenges are intended to show your mastery of each specialization. You'll need to unlock each appearance separately.

#131 - Feb. 22, 2017, 8:32 a.m.

These changes are now live.

#132 - Feb. 28, 2017, 7:56 a.m.

Hotfix now live: Necrotic Rot stacks will clear upon leaving combat. This change was planned for 7.2, but we've hotfixed it to 7.1.5.

is that the keystone affix?

Yep!

#133 - Feb. 28, 2017, 7:57 a.m.

why do I get Disconnected every single time I felrush and happen to go over water? Can you look into it? 4x now

We've been investigating this and looking for solutions. It's quite rare and hard to reproduce. Any info via bug report is much appreciated.

#134 - Feb. 28, 2017, 7:57 a.m.

When can we expect the Outlaw RTB changes?1week? 1month? Or are they even coming? Would be fun to know. Thanks.

RtB is getting an artifact trait in 7.2 that guarantees 2 buffs after using Adrenaline Rush. No plans at this time to change it further.

#135 - Feb. 28, 2017, 7:58 a.m.

why was Malefic Grasp animation removed in Legion?

That doesn't appear to be working as intended. We're looking into it.

#136 - Feb. 28, 2017, 8:01 a.m.

We've updated our hotfixes blog post with the latest, including a change to the Necrotic Rot Mythic Keystone effect.

While the Necrotic Rot change is appreciated, hotfixing it on the last day before reset was a bit.... inconsiderate.

Timing certainly could have been better, but we figured it better to at least have today rather than wait for the next time it comes around.

Did the duration change too? I remember you tried 8s instead of 10s on the 7.2 ptr.

This was not changed via this hotfix but is still planned for 7.2

#137 - Feb. 28, 2017, 8:02 a.m.

how will 2k vendor work? Just need achievements

The Elite ensembles will be purchasable with Marks of Honor, as long as you have the appropriate achievement.

#138 - March 1, 2017, 8:02 a.m.

Ancient MW Arts instant cast Env. Mists consumes Thunder Tea charges but Surge of Mist talent does not. Intended?

Sounds like a bug. We're looking into it, thanks.

#139 - March 1, 2017, 8:03 a.m.

PTR Development Notes for the latest 7.2 PTR update have been posted:

#140 - March 2, 2017, 8:12 a.m.

Im STILL experiencing the bugged herbs all over Broken Isles, any chance this will get fixed? get loot>30% of nodes

We’re aware of this tricky issue and are working on a fix. Please continue to report cases, *especially* if it continues to occur after 7.2.

#141 - March 2, 2017, 8:12 a.m.

Certain Timeless Isle achievements can't be obtained anymore due to legendary cloak requirement. When will this be fixed?

We're working on this. Thank you for the report.

#142 - March 3, 2017, 9:40 a.m.

is the 150 wins after faction changing for PvP Titles required this season-fearless or from next seas on?

This change will not take effect until Legion Season 3 begins. Season 2 (current) will only require 50 wins.

#143 - March 3, 2017, 9:41 a.m.

@WarcraftDevs Can you guys either up the spawn rate of Ocean Guardians for Nagnaa Happen or remove the faction tag from them?

A hotfix went live for this earlier today. Let us know how it feels!

#144 - March 3, 2017, 9:42 a.m.

@WarcraftDevs Holy Pala T20 2P is very awkward. You want to be rotating your character to heal at the same time as needing to target friend.

Yeah, this is a very experimental design, and we’re aware it may have some challenges. We’re keeping a close eye on it.

#145 - March 6, 2017, 8:32 a.m.

We're doing another live Q&A with Lead PvP Designer Brian Holinka on March 9! Details: https://t.co/yRKb8ojcBi

Ancient MW Arts instant cast Env. Mists consumes Thunder Tea charges but Surge of Mist talent does not. Intended?

Sounds like a bug. We're looking into it, thanks.

F: Beim Spontanzauber 'Einhüllender Nebel' durch 'Uralte Künste der Nebelwirker' werden die Aufladungen von Donnerfokustee konsumiert, beim Talent 'Nebelwoge' jedoch nicht. Beabsichtigt?

A: Klingt nach einem Bug. Wir schauen es uns an, danke.

We've just applied a hotfix that should fix this issue - instant EvM casts from Ancient MW Arts should no longer consume Thunder Focus Tea.

#147 - March 7, 2017, 7:59 a.m.

dudes, the arcane 4p tier malfunctioning because of queuing spells is a real bummerpants. Haters gonna hate. Buggers gonna bug

Yeah dude, that was a real downer. We hotfixed it this morning, tho. Should be all gravy now.

#148 - March 8, 2017, 8:03 a.m.

currently Shado-Pan timewalking doesn't count towards weekly timewalking quest. Possible hotfix soon ?

Yep, thanks for the reports - we're working on a hotfix for this issue.

#149 - March 8, 2017, 8:06 a.m.

[MoP TW] Loot is seemingly set incorrectly in MoP TW -- Looted a mail piece. Saw a hunter loot a plate piece

Looking into these reports as well, will hotfix once we've isolated the cause.

#150 - March 8, 2017, 8:08 a.m.

We're replacing the 7.2 mechanic that gave relics a random second trait. Details here:

#151 - March 8, 2017, 8:11 a.m.

The latest PTR Development Notes are up, including info on a couple playtests this week!

#152 - March 8, 2017, 8:13 a.m.

We've updated our hotfixes blog post with the latest hotfixes, including some fixes to Pandaria Timewalking:

#153 - March 8, 2017, 8:18 a.m.

Should players be holding on to rep tokens or rep reward bags from order hall missions for upcoming 7.2 Paragon reputation?

There's no reason to do that. Existing reputation tokens will not grant rep beyond exalted.

#154 - March 8, 2017, 8:21 a.m.

Oh boy! The monk class mount in 7.2 talks to you. Time to make sure dialogue stays muted forever now. Horrible idea.

The mount shouldn't be repetitively chatty. Please give it a try and let us know how it feels. We definitely don't want it to be annoying.

#155 - March 8, 2017, 8:22 a.m.

using Titans thunder with dire frenzy only gives the extra dmg buff when hunter is in melee range of own pet. intended?

We've got a fix for this in Patch 7.2, coming soon-ish.

#156 - March 9, 2017, 8:14 a.m.

Ever wanted to attack anything and everything in Dalaran? This Friday, on the PTR, you'll be able to. Details:

#157 - March 10, 2017, 8:06 a.m.

What is the average item level scaled to in PVP War Games? *Tournament mode enabled

In Patch 7.1.5, it's 850.
In Patch 7.2, it's 900.

#158 - March 10, 2017, 8:37 a.m.

are people that stock piled elite gear during the season going to be able to obliterate them after 7.2? i disenchanted mine :(

You will only be able to obliterate gear from the current season. You will not be able to obliterate any Season 2 gear during Season 3.
