@wowclassicdevs Absolut bullshit "fix"

Adjustments to Reduce Non-Participation in Dungeons in Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary We’ve observed a significant number of Burning Crusade players entering dungeons and then participating in no meaningful gameplay, often while only one party member plays through the instance. When this is prominent, it can lead to detrimental economic effects, among other concerns, so we’re implementing a series of hotfixes to address it. - Players must participate in combat to receive experience from dungeons. - The amount of loot dropped by non-boss enemies in high-level dungeons is now determined by how many players participate in the kill. The vast majority of players who participate in dungeon groups as usual should see no difference after these updates. These changes will go into effect with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.

@joardee @Zirene we need that for EU/NA

More info on the upcoming CN TITANFORGE server from Blizzard and Netease! wow.blizzard.cn/news/20251107/… Titan Shards Titan Shards are a brand new currency in the Titanforged server. Their main sources are various non-repeatable quests and additional rewards from the dungeon finder. The higher the quest and dungeon instance level, the more generous the shard rewards. Titan Shards can be used to purchase manufacturing materials from various professional skill material vendors. As your character level increases, the types of items offered by the material vendors will gradually expand, providing a more stable source for improving professional skills and equipment crafting. Titan Embers Titan Embers will replace the original Courage/Heroic/Conquest/Triumph/Chilled Emblems and other exchange currencies, providing players with more flexible equipment acquisition paths. You can obtain Titan Embers in various game contents such as Heroic difficulty dungeons, raid boss fights, Wintergrasp PvP events, arenas, and battlegrounds. You can also exchange Honor Points, Arena Points, Rock Guardian Shards, and other currencies for Titan Embers. Titan Embers can be used to purchase PvP trinkets as well as equipment that was previously exchanged for various emblems in the mainline servers of past Classic Era realms, making it convenient for alt characters to catch up on gear. Whether PvP or PvE, you can seamlessly integrate into the current battle craze through Titan Embers. At the same time, Dalaran will welcome two new merchants: one selling resistance gear purchasable with Titan Embers, and the other providing set exchange services. The new currency system will help you acquire various resources more easily and provide reliable catch-up paths for alt characters. Titan Embers can be exchanged for Titan Shards at a certain ratio, giving players more flexible acquisition methods. Reputation Relief: Enchantment Requirements Removed, Reputation Acquisition Accelerated We have removed the reputation requirements for helmet and shoulder enchants, greatly simplified the reputation unlock methods. Additionally, you can purchase reputation tokens for various factions from the Titan Embers merchant, greatly accelerating the reputation acquisition process. Professional Skill Overhaul: Manufacturing Item Thresholds Lowered, Gathering Professions Yield Increased in the Titanforged server, professional skills remain an important part of character growth, but material acquisition paths will be more convenient, and some manufacturing item restrictions have been lifted. Taking Engineering as an example, high-level engineering bombs, goblin sapper charges, nitro boosts, which originally required Engineering to reach a specific level to use, have now had their restrictions lifted. Players can use them directly even without learning the profession, greatly reducing the burden brought by profession binding. Unique functional Engineering items will still be retained. For gathering professions such as Mining, Herbalism, and Skinning, there will be a certain chance to directly obtain Titan Shards during gathering, forming a gathering -> exchange materials -> sell economic cycle. At the same time, to further simplify the equipment acquisition process, some (not all) raid instances in the Titanforged server have been adjusted. Some equipment that originally required professional skill recipes to craft will now drop as finished products directly, allowing players to equip them immediately and jump into battle. World Boss Loot Dynamic Drops: In the Titanforged server, world bosses from Vanilla and The Burning Crusade will be adjusted to level 80 difficulty and will enable a brand new dynamic drop system. After defeating a world boss, the number of loot drops will depend on the number of level 80 characters in the team who have not yet killed that boss this week, but there are some restrictions… Trimmed a bit to fit in the tweet, see article for more info!

@joardee When US/EU?

Titanforge server data mining! Based off the ilvl tiers, as of now it looks like it will have ELEVEN phases: P1 Molten Core P2 SSC+TK P3 Naxxramas P4 ToC+ZG P5 Sunwell+ZA P6 Ulduar P7 Kara+Gruul+Magtheridon P8 BWL P9 AQ P10 Icecrown Citadel and Ruby Sanctum P11 Hyjal+Black Temple Also many legendaries are getting added or adjusted effects that will get better as you get the upgrade materials over the course of the phases, or so it looks. Notable inclusion is Talisman of Binding Shard which only dropped once in Vanilla WoW in 2004 in error, cool to see it back in the game, kind of!

@joardee Want that for EU/NA

NETEASE announces info about the Titanforge server! First big details since the announcement: wow.blizzard.cn/news/trr/20251… - In the Titanforge server, raid instances from the three major versions will be unlocked in a randomized order, with **at least** one raid instance opening per phase. - All raid instances will feature a single difficulty mode, eliminating the distinction between Heroic and Normal, and will be uniformly scaled to 25-player size. - Whether it’s 10-player/20-player raids like Karazhan and Zul’Gurub, or 40-player raids from Classic, they will all deliver a fresh gameplay experience at different group sizes. - Raids in the Titanforge server will unlock at a tighter pace. After a new raid phase begins, players can still challenge previously unlocked instances. In newly unlocked raids, players will obtain gear with higher item levels. - Players can mix components from different sets to activate multiple set bonuses simultaneously (e.g., 4+4, 3+2+2, etc.). We hope this design provides rich build strategies, where players balance item level and special effects, choose specific slots, and combine them with weapons, trinkets, and talents for an unprecedented character progression experience. - Familiar legendary items will make a full return in the Titanforge server, with some surprise additions. As time progresses and new raids unlock, the power of earlier legendaries will remain relevant: players can use upgrade materials dropped in raids to enhance legendary weapons, ensuring they don’t become obsolete due to lower item levels. - Upgrade materials are Bind on Pickup. Weapons can be upgraded up to the item level of the current raid’s drops, with no infinite scaling. - In the Titanforge server, the Resilience stat will be removed from all gear, and attributes on items that previously had Resilience will be adjusted accordingly. - All PvP sets are removed, but functional items like medallions will be retained. In all PvP combat (including battlegrounds, arenas, and open-world environments), players will receive an aura that provides Resilience to control damage and ensure a balanced experience.

@Wowhead Rip

Blizzard confirm that combat addons will be disabled in end-game content in Midnight and have implied this may happen as early as the Midnight Pre-Patch! #Midnight #Warcraft wowhead.com/news/combat-ad…

#secretlab Finally finished setting up my little command center! Secretlab TITAN Evo XL in SoftWeave® Plus Fabric Secretlab MAGNUS Pro XL desk balolo desk shelf for that clean look Great for work during the day and gaming at night.

@Zirene @wowclassicdevs Last week Thursday (EU) it wasn't showing. That cute lvl 2 wolf :D worgen confirmed?! Jk, thanks for checking it!

@kai_exii @wowclassicdevs I see this as active on pets and as having been since a week ago

In an effort to support players in Season of Discovery, we’re advancing the incrementing player buff in Scarlet Enclave to increase by 5% every week instead of every 2 weeks. The hotfix is live and the buff has advanced to 10%.

@Zirene @wowclassicdevs Thanks !

@kai_exii @wowclassicdevs I'll take a look when I'm in the office, but there was a hotfix sent a day after the buff was turned on (7 days ago) on 6/4 for this issue. If it's not deployed to live servers, then it's still in checks.

@Zirene @wowclassicdevs Pets don't benefit of the 5%, now 10% buff.

@kai_exii @wowclassicdevs What is wrong with them?

We recently sent out another wave of invites for the MoP Classic Beta! As always, you may find the following posts useful: - Updated Development Notes: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/20973… - Ongoing List of Known (and Fixed) Issues: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/20973… We're looking forward to testing the Mogu'shan Vaults raid with you tomorrow!

Hey @Zirene @AggrendWoW since Pally got another OP set/spec… can melee hunters please get some love? Baseline Carve would be a great start. Right now, Explosive Trap is a DPS loss, AoE runes are weak, and we fall behind in every way vs. Warriors, Shamans, Paladins.

Hey @AggrendWoW and @Zirene — any chance we could get Frostwyrm Lair open without full wing clears, like late WotLK? Or maybe shift some Sapph/KT loot to wing endbosses? Running full Naxx just to delete most T3 tokens feels rough...

@Zirene @AggrendWoW Any word on melee Hunter AoE? TNT/Carve isn't viable since we lose Cobra Slayer + Raptor Fury. Any chance Carve could just be added to Melee Specialist so we can actually AoE without killing our single-target?

@Zirene I am a Diamond II player looking to be a professional shoutcaster as a career. I will be uploading videos of my casting, my try hard guides, and my mess around plays. cute :)

Happy 10 year anniversary to this beauty youtube.com/watch?v=7xMVCU…

@Zirene @ChrisBarry82839 @Kaczuchoozor @KerslakeAd11319 @Kaleedity ironhide / bloodlust classic set in recolor would both look better in my opinion

Didn't pick them, but my guess is that Mail users didn't have a set that looked like the Scarlet Crusade could've worn it in Vanilla or TBC since Hunter sets are usually very stylized and adorned with parts or the likeness of a creature, and Shaman sets are very stylized as well. Think the sets first and foremost were chosen to be things you could reasonably see on a Scarlet Crusader.

@Zirene bro, can we give someone a kick up the backside regarding the next phase sod rogue tier set. Visually, it looks horrendous. We're already getting bullied regarding the costume design and being the best class we just can't have that. 🙂 #wowsod #wowclassic #rogue

@KerslakeAd11319 @Zirene All sets somehow look very paladin like :D

@Zirene I can't go sneeking around on a Friday night griefing other players dressed like that. They will laugh at me. 😭

@AggrendWoW @Zirene please watch youtube.com/watch?v=j6D5Fy…

@AggrendWoW @Zirene @wowclassicdevs Anyone else getting flooded with P/WL/R tokens in Naxx HM 3/4? Across 2 guild raids + 1 pug, we've had 4x more than any other. Our P/WL/R are fully geared (6p ms/os), while H/M/W are stuck at 4p. Last ID: 4x quadruple P/WL/R drops. RNG?!
