Classes

  • Hunter
    • Fixed an issue causing Stomp and Wild Thrash to damage enemies through walls.
  • Mage
    • Fixed an issue causing Comet Storm to pull enemies through walls without damaging them.
    • Fixed an issue causing Shatter to pull enemies through walls.
    • Fixed an issue causing Duality Pyroblasts to pull enemies through walls.

Delves

  • Valeera’s maximum level is 45 until Midnight Season 1 starts.

Dungeons

  • Voidscar Arena
    • Fixed an issue where the arena event could fail to progress.

Items

  • Contained Stormarion Defender and Vivacious Chloroceros should now appear in the mount collection.

Prey

  • Players who were unable to access the Hunt Table in Astalor’s Sanctum after completing a Prey quest should once again be able to accept new hunts, as long as they haven’t completed the 4 weekly hunt maximum.
    • Developers’ notes: There is currently a display bug for those who were affected by the previous issue that may show they have 1 more hunt available than they actually do. This will be fixed with weekly restarts.

Quests

  • Creatures in the Midnight introduction that takes you to the Isle of Quel’Danas now have lower health and deal less damage.
  • Players should be able to continue handing out fliers to folks during "Mobilize! Enlist! Recruit!” if they leave and then come back to their task.
  • Fixed an issue where Rage-Riddled Drifter would take a long time to respawn for “Overcoming the Unknown” world quest.

User Interface and Accessibility

  • To ensure that macro usage aligns with our overall goals for addons, there have been some minor changes made to macro capabilities:
    • Macros are prevented from setting a target marker on more than 3 units within a very short time.
  • And the following restrictions only apply while the player is in an active encounter:
    • Macros are no longer allowed to send chat messages to chat channels that are not exclusive to the group (custom chat channels, guild, communities, etc).
    • Macros are still allowed to send chat in group-exclusive channels (/raid, /party, /rw, etc), but are prevented from sending multiple messages to those channels within a very short time. In addition, all members of the group must be inside the instance or macro chat will not be allowed in these channels.
    • Macros are still allowed to send chat in whispers but the whisper target must also be in the instance. Macros are also prevented from sending multiple whispers within a very short time.
