A message from the #Warcraft team. https://t.co/3gWCz1gu8T
The replies to this disappoint me so much.
The idol and worship culture that exists in Blizzard fandom does play a small part in this. These developers are being bombarded by so many people. Maybe not you but members of this community are. So many of you are mad that a human who's discovering or confronting something traumatic that's happened around them lashed back saying it's basically not about the games right now. They're right.
Imagine all of this being uncovered, you're now learning of stories and situations that were hidden from everyone else. Obfuscated by those you worked with and potentially looked up to, and you see members of the community rushing in to forgive these people and still continue to praise them.
There is a clip that we have all now seen where the Blizzard community laughed at a woman just asking to feel included. You maybe weren't there, maybe you didn't laugh, but that was a convention hall full of Blizzard fans. We have to confront that. This is what Alex is referring to. You may not have discriminated against anyone, you may not have harassed anyone, but a situation in all of this is on full display where the community did not make a woman feel welcome.
Give the devs a break. Please.
Hiya everyone! Here’s today’s hotfixes:
JULY 21, 2021Classes
- Druid
- Born Anew’s (Conduit) primary stat bonus reduces to 20 upon the beginning of a new encounter.
- Developers’ note: The intent of this bonus is to provide a benefit when using resurrections in combat. But it is best to avoid situations where players might feel compelled to min/max something like this before starting a pull.
- Priest
- Shadow
- Shadow Crash’s (Talent) ground visual will now match the area effect.
- Void Volley’s (PvP Talent) ground visuals will now match the area effect and has more defined edges.
- Warrior
- Arms
- Fixed an issue where Swift Patrol (Niya Soulbind) caused the auto-attack timer to reset.
Creatures and NPCs
- Players now have a 2 second grace period to keep their vision of targets within the area contained by the Soul Chains between the Soul Cages during the Mor’geth encounter.
- Reduced the number of Prince Renathals in Sinfall. Press F to pay respects.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sanctum of Domination
- Defeating Sylvanas Windrunner on Mythic difficulty will now reward 2 Vengeance’s Reins.
- Remnant of Ner’zhul
- Players can no longer cause a second orb to become non-interactable while carrying an Orb of Torment.
- Plaguefall
- You must now defeat the first three bosses of the dungeon before the door to Margrave Stradama opens on all difficulties.
- Developers’ note: The first two bosses of the dungeon were frequently being skipped in lower-difficulty dungeons, typically by groups who were trying to earn Renown much faster than intended. To improve players’ Renown earnings, we’ve also added a chance for Renown to be earned by completing layers in Torghast (see hotfix below).
Items and Rewards
- Teleporter Repair Kits should no longer have a Unique count and will now stack to 50.
- Repaired Riftkeys will also now stack to 50.
- Developers’ note: Early in development, Teleporter Repair Kits and Repaired Riftkeys were only available from the vendor. Based on player feedback of not knowing if they were worth purchasing, we decided to have them drop occasionally as well. Now that these items dropped and became out of player’s control, we should have removed the unique cap on the Teleporter Repair Kits then. Also, since you have access to purchasing the Teleporter Repair Kits or Repaired Rift Keys, we are disabling them from going to mail if you loot one with a full inventory so they will no longer fill up your mailbox.
- The item levels of Conduits sold by the Rated PvP vendor have been corrected.
- Fixed an issue where the Salvaged Fusion Amplifier was not dropping for Marksmanship and Beastmaster Hunters.
Quests
- Fixed an issue during “Nal’ragas” that caused internal text to be visible to users of certain nameplate addons.
Torghast, Tower of the Damned
- Renown is now a possible reward from Torghast completions, with better chances at Renown coming from higher Torghast difficulties.

Hello everyone! Here are today’s hotfixes, which includes some nice additions like making the socket adding item and conduit upgrade item on Archivist Roh-Suir account-bound.
JULY 20, 2021Classes
- Mage
- Arcane
- Fixed an issue with the Clearcasting effect gained from Mirrors of Torment (Venthyr Ability) not granting the effects of Amplification while Arcane Empowerment is talented in PvP.
- Priest
- When Mass Dispel dispels multiple targets, the order of dispels is now random.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sanctum of Domination
- Defeating Sylvanas on any difficulty will now always drop a Shard of Domination for players who do not yet have all possible Shards.
- Remnant of Ner’zhul
- The pendulum around the Penance of the Fallen King swings once again.
- Mythic+
- Fixed an issue that could cause small discrepancies in how Mythic+ Rating is displayed in different User Interface elements.
Items and Rewards
- Shards of Domination
- Scouring Touch no longer incorrectly removes stealth type effects from the caster when applied to targets.
- The amount of Anima dropped by bosses in the Sanctum of Domination is now affected by achievements earned by upgrading your Covenant Sanctum.
- The Treatise: The Study of Anima and Harnessing Every Drop should now work on Korthia dailies, rares, and treasures as well as the Covenant Maw Assault quests.
- Developers’ note: The original goal was for the Treatise items to give you bonuses when returning to the 4 non-Maw zones or to the Maw proper for the Stygia Treatise. Korthia was themed to be part of the Maw during development and so it was not included. However, since we didn’t clarify that well and Korthia is abundant in Anima having not originated in the Maw, we are enabling this item’s bonus there as well. Looking forward, the Treatise: Relics Abound in the Shadowlands awarded at Tier 6 with The Archivists’ Codex only works on the four original zone factions as a bonus to players who want a way to speed up their reputation with these factions.
- The new socket adding item, Alloy-Warping Facetor and conduit upgrade item, Death-Bound Shard should now be purchasable by all characters on your account from Archivist Roh-Suir once one character has reached Tier 6 Research.
- Rae’shalare, Death’s Whisper is now classified as a Unique item.
- Fixed an issue that was causing the Foresworn Aspirant’s Robes to not show up in the Kyrian Soulbind dailies or in the Transmog appearances user interface.
Quests
- Resolved a number of issues with the quest “The Nathrezim” in which Mal’Ganis was telling enemies in other player’s experiences what to do. He has been notified to stay in his lane.
- Added a graveyard that is specific for the quest “The Nathrezim.”
- Developers’ note: This should eliminate the long run back to the quest if it is in progress and reduce some of the timing bugs that were coming up with Mal’Ganis’ gloating moments.
The Maw
- Fixed an issue where players who accepted a queue in the middle of flying to the Beastwarrens would be pacified until relogging.
Torghast, Tower of the Damned
- Completing the Adamant Vaults will now always reward Anima and significantly more gold.
- Bosses in the Adamant Vaults no longer regenerate health after defeating players.
@OneSoloPlayer Don't worry. Everyone is familiar with the Spirit Healer.
