Patch 4.2 hotfixes for July 6

Jul 7th 2011 9:21AM (WoW)
Yes, but these people getting more marks per unit of time aren't going to catch those of us doing it on day one. So why worry?

@Amaxe

I was referring to people who whinged about having to wait A WHOLE DAY to proceed to the next part of the chain.

And even those who "worked diligently" (like me) don't have much to complain about as it is A WHOLE DAY™. We aren't talking about weeks/months of work being thrown out.

This is no different to nerfing raid content and the like. It isn't a big deal. The reward for being first is in being first.

Because Blizzard would have to write a bit of code to go through the database and find everyone who had done that quest and give them extra marks. Instead what they did was just change the quest rewards.

Anyway the point of the change isn't to handout some marks, it is to make it so people don't have to wait an extra day before going to Malfurion's Breach.

I think it stopped you going stealth but didn't break it IIRC. New fix might be for when you land faerie fire as they stealth AND to stop vanish etc.

Being stuck on a gate isn't effort.

Though I don't know why people complained. The whole point of dailies is to slow people down.

Want spirit cloth gear from Firelands? Bad news ...

P.S. I also don't care if people never raid for loot. I raid because killing new bosses is a fun group activity. Hitting up farm content is boring and with the new raidID extension I would never have to do it except for people who want to raid for loot.

You misunderstood me. I don't even have my gear reforged for tanking. I wear leather reforged to maximise cat DPS and I have a dual bear/cat spec. And yet I have tanked nearly everything on T11 normal.

"Best-in-slot" is a vastly overstated idea for tanks/healers outside of Heroic raids.

Honestly it would be trivial to move the other tanks towards the feral bear model.

It is more like they didn't have the development time to properly itemise and so cut stuff that the least people care about (eg in early Wrath +crit cloth was rare as hens teeth and the Shadow Priests raged).

I would have no problem with it as I don't have a single piece of gear with dodge/parry on it and have tanked nearly every T11 encounter (feral druids ftw!).

TBH Blizz could easily fix this issue by not dropping +spirit cloth and just making reforging give more +spirit in the conversion to make up for it.

Priests win, mages and warlocks cry salty salty tears of rage.

Firelands crafting recipe drop rate nerfed

Um, trash farming is not restricted to "high end guilds".

"High end guilds" are only interested in boss kills. Guess what happens to most trash when you kill bosses? It stops spawning. As pretty much every "high end guild" did a full normal mode clear this week there isn't any trash for them to farm.

IME the people who farm trash are not regular raiders, so they farm trash for rep gains and trash epics/patterns to advance their characters.
