WoW Retail & Classic: Hotfixes for July 29, 2024

INTRODUCTION

Hello everyone and welcome to a quick recap post of the hotfixes for the World of Warcraft universe games. We’ll cover all the iterations of WoW in this post and which issues were tended to, so stick around and find out!

Most of the changes concern Season of Discovery so we’ll start there!

Season of Discovery

• Bottomless Bag Exchange: Players with the 18-slot version can now exchange it for the 20-slot version at Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay.
• Rune of Kress: Players who have killed Magmadar but cannot douse the Rune of Kress can now swap Heat difficulty and douse the Rune.
• Lava Surgers: Will no longer spawn in Molten Core once Ragnaros has been defeated.
• Class Dungeon Set Bonuses: Fixed an issue where set bonuses could be triggered by item use instead of abilities.
• Graveyard Bug: Fixed a bug interrupting eating or drinking when near a graveyard.
• Quel’Serrar: Fixed a bug where the incorrect version of this sword could appear.
• Hunter: Entrapment: Now triggers diminishing returns as a Root effect on players each time it is applied. Subsequent durations will be halved and quartered, followed by immunity for 30 seconds.
• Priest: Divine Spirit: Fixed an issue where re-speccing did not remove this ability appropriately.
• Rogue: Tier 1 Bonus: The 6-piece Tier 1 bonus no longer puts Vanish on cooldown.
• Shaman: Rockbiter Rank 3: You can no longer have Burn and Way of Earth active simultaneously.
• Warlock: Shadowflame: Will no longer be overwritten by Improved Shadow Bolt.
• Warrior: Tier 1 Bonus: The 2-piece Tactician bonus will no longer be consumed if the spell cast was a free Blood Surge Slam.
• Rhok’delar Quest Chain: Fixed a bug preventing interaction with the four demons involved.

Molten Core Changes to Ragnaros and Baron Geddon

• Hand of Reckoning: Ragnaros is no longer immune to this Paladin ability.
• Molten Core Fire Resistance: Damage taken for low Fire Resistance on Heat 2 and Heat 3 has been reduced but remains dangerous. Characters with 30 less resistance than intended will take about three times normal damage instead of a fatal amount.
  • Developers’ Notes: This adjustment allows players using Resistance Totems or Paladin Auras to survive if briefly out of range of those effects.
• Ragnaros no longer submerges twice on Heat 1.
• Baron Geddon now casts Armageddon at 5% on Heat 1 (was 10%).
• Baron Geddon now casts 2 Living Bombs at a time on Heat 2 (was 3 casts).
• Living Bomb no longer leaves Living Fallout pools on Heat 1.
• Flamewaker Protectors now cast Dominante Mind much less frequently.
• Maximized the cast and recast times of several dispel mechanics.

WoW Retail – The War Within Pre-patch

Classes

Priest

• Void Summoner: Fixed an issue where this talent was providing twice the intended cooldown reduction.

Shaman

Player versus Player

• Rated Battleground Blitz: Fixed a scaling issue in Eye of the Storm where PvP item levels were incorrectly adjusted.

Quests

Cataclysm Classic

• Transmog Appearances: All original WoW Classic PvP gear is now usable as transmog appearances and available from Legacy Armor and Weapon Quartermasters in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
• Supreme Defender: Fixed a bug preventing this from incrementing correctly when killing Flag Carriers in Warsong Gulch.

Classic Era
