WoW Developer AMA - Friday Jun 23, 1pm PDT

Posted: 21 Jun 2017 07:37 AM PDT

Class Developer AMA

As you may have read we will be hosting a Developer AMA with some Class Developers from Blizzard here on Friday! We're very excited about it, and we hope that you are too!

We'll be posting the thread about fifteen minutes before all the developers are here, and hopefully you'll all get a chance to ask a question and have it answered if you so desire.

Behaviour

We are very lucky that we enjoy a good relationship with Blizzard and their employees. Like all good relationships we have ups and WoDs downs, but it's important to maintain respect and even politeness even when we're unhappy about things in the game. To put it clearly, if you are antagonistic to any member of the Blizzard team during this AMA, you will be removed from the conversation, and you will receive a ban of at least 30 days, with the possibility of it being permanent. Here are some examples of good and bad questions (as a frustrated person might express them):

  • Good: The state of windwalker monks is really frustrating right now. Do you have any plans for monks in the near future, or is it just reroll time?

  • Bad: Do you guys know anything about class balance? Monks are broke. Fix them.

Why is it that Mages pray more than Priests?

Posted: 20 Jun 2017 10:44 PM PDT

I'm not a huge "class fantasy" person, but isn't it kinda weird? I mean, just look at the gameplay. Arcane mages pray for mana, Frost mages pray for procs, and Fire mages pray that their Raid leader doesn't check DPS

Maiden of Vigilance Pathway Bugged -- Please give this some more attention.

Posted: 21 Jun 2017 11:52 AM PDT

I'm honestly surprised this bug hasn't gotten more attention, especially after the maintenance reset. Tomb of Sargeras seems to have a softlocking bug for the entire raid right now that if at any point the raid empties (No matter on what boss-- if everybody leaves the raid, this seems to cause it to occur) then the entire raid softlocks and you cannot go to the Maiden of Vigilance. Khadgar's Merry Band of Magical Misfits disappears completely, voicelines from Illidan still trigger, but the pathway to the Mistress from Harjatan is blocked off and none of the trash spawns anymore.

I managed to find a thread about it shortly after the problem occurred where so far a good number of people have also reported the issue, and I'm talking entire guilds:

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20756886009?page=2

I was praying they fixed this after the lockout, or that a Blue would respond and give us an ETA for a fix in the thread, but seeing as the maintenance only succeeded in bugging more lockouts by forcing people offline and the only thread for a good page or two with any response at the time of posting this is one about the Inky Black Potion not being as Inky or Black as usual doesn't get my hopes up that they actually pay too much attention to that forum.

TL;DR If you've started Tomb already and left before clearing the raid 9/9, chances are you're no longer able to get to Maiden, Avatar, or KJ because leaving the raid softlocks the entire instance with no clear fix. Blizz has been silent on this issue and it's killing progression.

/!\ IMPORTANT /!\ Though it didn't seem to work before, /u/Oronare 's suggestion seemed to fix the issue for the time being. The Goroth cutscene played out properly and the staircase is opened.

Update: For those of you leaving suggestions and stuff on how to fix it: I have tried resetting, logging (obviously), and have even made a ticket. Maintenance didn't fix it as I had hoped, so it seems either Blizz knows this is an issue and won't give us an ETA or they're ignoring it. I HIGHLY doubt they're ignoring it because this bug is a great way to stump Mythic progression which I KNOW they're big on.

Update 2: Yes, this is effecting both EU and US. I'm on US (WyrmrestAccord-US) but notice it's an issue on several other realms as well.

I made a super simple guide to Tomb of Sargeras, for those that need a quick digest or something to look at before you pull the boss to remind you

I didn't realize how much I took the Suramar campaign/NH build up quest line for granted until doing ToS.

Posted: 21 Jun 2017 03:00 AM PDT

Do not get me wrong, I love ToS. I am just not getting the same amount of immersion when doing the raid. NH it felt like an epic conclusion to a long struggle. ToS, as much as I love the encounters, just feels like a door opened and a bunch of bad guys are inside (outside of Avatar and KJ).

I hope Blizzard puts more effort into campaigns like they did with Suramar in the future. Definitely adds more to the raid itself!

With that said, ToS still rocks!

Updates on the WoW Addon Updater app

Posted: 21 Jun 2017 12:52 PM PDT

Hey, everyone. Thanks a ton for all the feedback on the app I made to go through and update all your addons automatically. I wanted to address some concerns that have been popping up a lot in the original thread.

First of all, there were a few people concerned that this would go down the route of WoWMatrix (i.e. getting in some trouble with Curse/WI). From what I can tell, that happened to WoWMatrix because they were rehosting and modifying addons without the devs' permission. My app will never rehost any addons. It simply pulls them from Curse and unzips them. That said, if Curse/WI still have a problem with this app, I'll comply for decency's sake.

There's also some people who have been asking for more features, specifically more places to get addons from besides Curse. I plan to add support for WoWInterface in the future. ElvUI might be a bit weird to implement, so that might take some more time than WoWInterface.

In addition, I've gotten some requests to have the app scan the user's addon directory to determine which addons to download. This would cause some issues from addons having multiple folders in the addon directory and having different names from how they're listed on Curse and the like. I'm not saying the idea is entirely infeasible, but it's outside of the scope of the app for now. Please keep in mind that setting up the input file is a one-time job, and you just have to rerun the app to get updates to your addons.

As always, let me know if you have any ideas, concerns, suggestions, issues, questions, tacos, etc :)

KJ Bonus Rolls

Posted: 20 Jun 2017 08:48 PM PDT

Just a heads up, after KJ dies, the cinematic is long enough if you watch the whole thing you have about 3-4 seconds to click your bonus roll before it times out. Be quick, rekill, or cancel the cinematic and watch it later, there's plenty of sources.

Seems like a bit of an oversight on Blizz's part, though.
