Patch 3.0.8

[Meltoor]

Drama, Chaos!

As everyone noticed, with the come of 3.0.8, many bugs were fixed, but more were created.

Blizzard did not mention a few new features in their patchnotes, thus releasing it without being tested by the players, resulting in releasing a completely buggy patch.

Most of these bugs are serverside and are being hotfixed right now, or will be in a few days.

Let's have a quick look at the list of the bugs 3.0.8 introduced!



-Blizzard promised that they will make us able to create a Deathknight on any server if we have atleast one level 55+ character, on any server.

- Nethaera reported that this feature is not avaible yet, but they're working on it.

-The warlock pets' HP should have been buffed, but on live, they only got +1 HP! It was working perfect on the PTR, but this is screwed on live realms.

-Obliterate and Empowered Rune Weapon generates 0 RP.-This was hotfixed, though it only works for "some" players

-Winning a Wintergrasps battle crashes the server, resetting the Wintergrasps. Blizzard has disabled battles.-A solution has been found for this and US servers have already been hotfixed.

-By a mistake, the Warlock's Ritual of Summoning got a 2 minute cooldown.-Originally the warlocks got a mass summoning spell, which was used to exploiting, which got a 2 minute cooldown, later removed, but the Rital of Summoning has shared cooldown with it.
Yet one of the worst is this:



The new Arena matchmaking system:

The system uses an invisible rating which is decided by "skill" rather than the team's rating.
Nobody has spoken about this, so there wasn't anyone who would've tested it. I guess you can draw the conclusion, it's bugged! Originally, it was intended to help the "high skilled" players to reach their position on the ladder faster, so a freshly created team shouldn't suffer that much playing with them on ~1500 rating. Basically it gives more rating to the skilled players.
The system needs about 9-10 matches to decide where they belong. Blizzard said that it's not working as intended and Battlemasters have been removed while this situation is not solved.


There are many bugs which I haven't listed, those are minor items bugs or so.
Everyone agrees that the situation is not the best, but Blizzard is working on full-speed to fix them and hopefully in a few days, everything will be fine.

EDIT: Most of the bugs have been fixed by now, so don't complain about "false information" in the topic :wave:

A dark day this was, indeed.

Lol, Blizzard should've fixed all those bugs before release.

i was able to make as many deathknights as i pleased mere minutes after the servers came back up on patch day. all low pop realms worked

[Viter]

i can create death knights on servers i dont got a level 55 on

[Sychotix]

also, supposedly Eye of Eternity is bugged. As my dads guild put it when i ran with them "The dragon keeps breathing out is ass!" =P It sucked having the entire raid being hit by 16k breaths every time.

[Greed]

Phase 2 of the Eye of Eternity is an instant wipe now

[Meltoor]

Yes, Viter, probably has been fixed by now =)

Yes, Viter, probably has been fixed by now =)

It's supposed to do that.

Did you read the patch notes? It's the first thing.

[Hellgawd]

I am actually disgusted with Blizzard. Probably one of the crappiest Patches they have ever made. No Arenas, Wintergrasp is down, no DK creation... it's bad. REAL bad...

[Igzz]

Yep, it is probably one of the worst patches, I can't even update it . Gives me an error that there is no realmlist.wtf file, so can't update.

[Blackboy0]

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
set portal us

That should be the Realmlist, located in Data/enUS/realmlist.wtf

[Icewow]

HA! I love you blackboy, I just figured out how to get around blizzards portal!

[Remus]

umm that stuff is quite the common knowledge icewow -.-
