Blizzard's ill-conceived attempt to break world quest group finder addons didn't work and instead ruined the group finder for everyone.

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 06:21 AM PDT

World quest addons still work. People are still using them. Blizzard cannot break them any further without taking away group finder altogether.

What we're left with is a worse group finder, especially for those who don't use addons.

It is now absolutely FULL of groups with names that are uninterpretable strings of numbers like "54729, 53882, 51173" and so on. This is because group finder addons now instruct users to type in the quest ID string as a quick way to communicate the group they're making to other addon users.

How can Blizzard nerf group finder addons to this current state and leave it like it is? Last expansion, these addons would make groups named after the quest, anyone could find and join in, but now it's just numbers. The group finder now has two sets of users who fundamentally cannot interact with each other. Addon users and non-addons users. This means less groups available to everyone.

This is all because Blizzard tried and failed to take away world quest group addons that a huge chunk of the playerbase used. Blizzard, please just revert your changes to group finder for the benefit of EVERYONE. Bring back auto accept. Bring back the ability to copy paste full titles into the group finder.

Make the group finder great again. Right now it is broken.

Blizzard removing unintended rewards from Mythic cache

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 02:11 PM PDT

ROLL THIS BACK, WE WANT A FAIR WARCRAFT.

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 10:08 AM PDT

Posting my outrage about free gear being handed out and the need to roll back for the sake of having a fair warcraft, Back in CATA blizzard ruined the pvp ranking system causing people to not lose ranking and they rolled it back. Why not this?! Or simply remove the items obtained from Mythic+ chests

Huge bug. If you did a M+ the last week of legion you have a M+ chest waiting for you with up to 380 gear in it today.

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 08:08 AM PDT

u/commandersteel posted nice recap of todays events. Posting them up here so more can see.

  • If you did a mythic+ the last week of Legion you got a Mythic+ chest this week with 380-400 ilvl gear in it.

  • If you PvPed and ranked in the last Legion PvP season you got the rank and rewards for THIS season when you logged in today.

  • If you did your weekly PvP the last week of Legion you got rewards for it this week (including 360-370 weapons).

  • If you killed the World Boss before the weekly reset this morning, you are able to kill it twice this week (and get loot twice)

  • This has all been hotfixed at this point, but those who received anything from the bugs above still have those items.

Edit:

  • The mythic + chests also contained a giant chunk of Azerite power. This puts the players that did loot the chest in time far far ahead of those that did not have a cache or looted after the bug.

Edit 2: https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs/status/1037085570890051584

Blizzard is removing the M+ gear. It is still unknown if this includes pvp gear/transmogs/achievements and Azerite power from the m+ cache. I would assume it does include those but for now we do not know for sure.

This is one of those few times when a Rollback is entirely justified.

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:05 PM PDT

Blizzard is extremely judicious with their usage of rollbacks, usually saving them for the most extreme cases where huge bugs or issues have an effect on the majority of players.

This Is One Of Those Times

This week we have:

  • Players receiving Mythic+ rewards from content cleared in Legion last week (380 and higher)

  • Players receiving PvP rank rewards and achievements from last legion season

  • Players receiving PvP weekly quest rewards from legion (360+ gear)

  • World Boss Dropping "Better than mythic raid" loot (item level 400+)

  • Players were able to kill the world boss twice if they did so after its release but prior to the reset (Worse when you consider the 400+ loot available).

  • Players who received Mythic+ rewards (as above) also received a significant quantity of Azerite Power. (Thanks /u/InvaderDem )

While rollbacks have a severe impact on the game and affect a huge number of players, these bugs and their consequences CANNOT be allowed to pass.

This will affect:

  • Rate and nature of progression.

  • Value of raid clears and players equipped to do so.

  • "Normal" players ability to find PUG groups. (ie; an increase in the "minimum ilevel" expected by group leaders).

  • Important milestones like realm first and the like.

This actually affects lives; there are guilds and streamers whose popularity (And hence; income) results from their dedication to progression and challenges like world first.

To have a guild that happened to be running Mythic+ all get an extra piece of 380+ gear, or a couple extra drops from PvP rewards or the world boss... Suddenly you've got the dedicated players at a huge disadvantage at achieving world first.

These things may seem minor at face value, but such competitions are the life blood of a huge community in WoW and the entire reason some players play at all.

Blizzard needs to address this; immediately. The longer they wait, the more devestating the rollback will be.

Without the tools to individually remove the gear that should not have been rewarded, or to reward all players equally, a rollback and bug fix is the only solution that will allow fairness going forwards and, as blizzard themselves have said;

"Play nice; Play Fair... We take seriously the responsibility to maintain a level playing field for all players. No one wants to see a player use an obviously unintended shortcut to progress far beyond all other players"

This series of bugs is EXACTLY what's described above; it needs to be rectified.

When you see a low health Horde and decide to not kill them but then they kill you later

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:28 AM PDT

Well... This is awkward.

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 03:24 AM PDT

Blizz, you really need to stop with the 37 Gold reward on World Boss kills

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 09:20 AM PDT

37 gold, really? Killing a giant ass zoidberg or a warmachine equivalent to the fuckin gustav cannon? You couldn't have put something more productive instead? Like mats, potions, or you know, anything more than 37 gold???

Forget killing bosses. How to I kill my fellow raid members in Uldir?

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 06:34 AM PDT

I did not play the Beta at all so I have not seen the new raid. I need to know different ways to kill my raid members in the new raid during trash and in between boss pulls. Ledges that you can fall off, elevators that crush you, damage splitting mechanics I can tell people to run away with. Anything that I can use to kill my raid leader while he explains fights would be extremely helpful. I personally like killing people with the swapblaster. Extra points if you incorporate that into some of these methods. Thanks

[Suggestion] If you're able to use a flying mount in-zone, you should be able to use it while dead. (Bring back Spectral Gryphon)

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 11:16 AM PDT

There used to be a Spectral Gryphon in some zones, making the 25 minute walk back to your body a measly 10 seconds. Why am I running back to my body in Arathi Highlands when I can fly?

I am........not confident in this one.

Reminder that one of Blizzard core values is ''Play Nice;Play Fair'' So this has to be adressed

Do you remember a simpler time when Tabards let you farm rep to your heart's content?

Northrend Farms remembers.

Let Me off Beta for Azeroth's Wild Ride

Posted: 04 Sep 2018 09:33 AM PDT

TFW you log in right after they hotfixed their massive bug that gave everyone who did a cache in the PREVIOUS expansion a 380 piece, but it's okay because blizzard will definitely fix their big mistake, they're just busy with more important things like re-balancing the cost of weapon enchants, because who cares about people getting 380 azerite pieces, 380 weapons and 400 world boss trinket when my enchants are now worth slightly more :/

/end rant

seriously shit like this shouldn't have made it past early alpha, having the Caches be bugged when the prepatch came out should have made them at least send an intern out to check. Still gotta exploit early and exploit often. Them not rollbacking this or just equalizing the playing field by giving out +10s to everyone because of their ineptitude would have been a better response than just patching it out and letting early birds get the worm. If i hadn't just started a guild up with a bunch of friends this would be more than enough for me to just be done with this expansion.
