War Within, Season of Discovery and Cata Classic Hotfixes: August 23rd

More hotfixes arrive! A triple batch graces us today, with retail and double classic on the docket.

We have class and Delve improvements, enchanting weekly quests get disabled as they weren’t supposed to be live yet, and there are many quest fixes as well in the War Within. There’s also a big XP nerf for Nightmare Incursion bosses in SoD, and a fix for rotating Molten Core bosses. Meanwhile, Cata Classic changes the Darkmoon Faire reset to weekly and fixed an issue with its quests.

Let’s take a look.


War Within

Classes

  • Priest
    • Shadow
      • Fixed an issue causing Void Tendrils from Idol of C'Thun iconIdol of C’Thun to attack enemies not in combat with the Priest.

Delves

  • Brann should no longer sometimes get stuck flying his gryphadin into a wall.
  • Tak-Rethan Abyss
    • Fixed an issue where air bubbles created by rescuing the Preserved Niffen would not stick around.

Events

  • Corrected an issue with the Theater Troupe Audience Approval rewards not being granted by the Theater Troupe event in The Proscenium.

Professions

  • Enchanting
    • Disabled Enchanting weekly quests that were unintentionally available for the first day of Early Access.
      • Developers’ notes: We’ve disabled those quests, and we’re increasing the Knowledge available to Enchanters who didn’t complete them, starting after the first weekly reset. The extra Knowledge will come from Knowledge point items sourced through Disenchanting and will leave all Enchanters on an even playing field. This extra Knowledge will become available after you have gathered your other weekly Enchanting Knowledge, which includes the weekly quest, Disenchanting Knowledge, and Knowledge obtained from treasures out in the world.

Quests

  • Fixed an issue causing players to be unable to see Faerin in order to pick up the quest “Blades of the Arathi”.
  • The quest items for “Leave No Stone Behind” are now properly lootable if the quest is abandoned and restarted.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent “Recompense” from being completed.
  • Witnessing the formation of the Severed Threads now provides the intended credit for the quest “Uniting Severed Threads”.
  • Players are no longer prevented from completing the “Harbinger” questline while on the War Within introduction.
  • Fixed a bug where Durzan could sometimes fail to reach his goal in “Thunderhead Butt”, preventing the quest from completing.
  • Speaker Brinthe should now be available as expected in The Archives for “Golgrin’s Reach”.

Season of Discovery

  • Firelands Embers and Emerald Chips now stack to 2500.
    • Developers’ notes: Hang on to these currencies, as new items will be made available for purchase in the next major patch.
  • Nightmare Incursion boss experience has been reduced by 50%.
  • Bosses in Molten Core should no longer spin around and face random raid members on higher Heat difficulties.

 

Cataclysm Classic

  • Fixed an issue preventing Darkmoon Faire quests from resetting as expected.
  • Darkmoon Faire quests now reset weekly.
    • Developers’ notes: This means that, each Darkmoon Faire holiday, players will have two chances to complete each of these quests
