Hotfixes for January 27th, Training Dummy Musical Chairs

by JR Cook - 9 years ago     show comments

If you’ve been missing the hotfix blog, have no fear. They’re back in business.

That said, it’s a pretty brief set of changes for today.

• The complete fix for players getting their follower at the end of the Primal Fury garrison campaign step should now be in the mix. If you completed that step and didn’t get the follower, you should now get the proper one, and if you complete the step after today, you should get the follower automatically.
• Some bugfixing for certain Rogue and Druid abilities that were behaving strangely under certain circumstances.
• If you’re dead when a quest completes, you should still get experience for it. It looks like this is an across-the-board change for all quests, not just WoD content. Which invites the amusing circumstance of leveling up while dead.
• If you’ve been having issues on the Lich King fight in Icecrown Citadel because a Val’kyr is picking you up at weird times, that should now be resolved.

Read the most recent changes below, or check out the full hotfix blog for everything in 6.0.3.

Garrisons, Followers, and Outposts

• Tier 3 Garrisons: Dungeoneer’s Training Dummy for healing and damage have swapped places so melee classes are less likely to trigger the tanking dummy by accident.
• Garrison Campaign Quests
  • Assault on Skettis: Creatures and NPCs associated with Assault on Skettis now respawn more frequently and increased the amount of morale awarded for defeating them.
  • Gladiator’s Sanctum Level 3: Players can no longer be votekicked from the Coliseum scenario.
  • Primal Fury: Players that have completed the quest before the hotfix from January 21 should now correctly receive Thisalee Crow (Alliance) or Choluna (Horde) as a Follower.

Classes

• Druid
  • General
    • Ferocious Bite no longer loses damage when cast with a low amount of Energy while Berserk is active. Berserk will still discount Cat Form abilities’ Energy cost, but will include the bonus damage as if it weren’t cast with Berserk active.
  • Feral
    • Leader of the Pack should now correctly trigger its heal for Druids that have learned the talent, Claws of Shirvallah.
  • Talents
    • Incarnation: Tree of Life’s bonuses should no longer be incorrectly retained without having the talent learned.
    • Nature’s Vigil should no longer be dealing excessive damage to high level targets by healing low level NPCs.
• Rogue
  • Glyphs
    • Glyph of Recovery should no longer make Recuperate heal for less than the intended amount.

Quests

• All quests should now still award experience even if the character is dead at the time of completion.
• Frostfire Ridge
  • The Shadow Gate: Players who became stuck after completing “The Shadow Gate” will need to re-enter the cave within the Bloodmaul Stronghold in Frostfire Ridge if they were unable to see Orlana Strongbrow to continue their quest series.
• Gorgrond
  • Ambushing the Enemy: Resolved an issue where players were unable to complete this quest if The Giant Cauldron has been completed first.
• Talador
  • At Your Command: Horde characters who have faction changed to Alliance should now be able to complete the quest “At Your Command” if they have completed the Alliance version previously.

Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios

• Auchindoun
  • Grom’tash the Destructor and Gul’kosh should no longer force all party members into combat, including ones that aren’t actively in combat with them.
• Shadowmoon Burial Grounds
  • Ner’zhul: Resolved an issue where players may be unable to use the portal to re-enter the encounter area.
• Icecrown Citadel
  • The Lich King: Resolved an issue where Val’kyr Shadowguards can prevent players from being able to complete the encounter if they pick the player up after Fury of Frostmourne has been cast.

PvP

• Ashran
  • There’s now a 30 minute delay between battles after Grand Marshal Tremblade or High Warlord Volrath has been defeated.
