HotfixAnnounced by Blizzard

Quest hotfix on Zephras Isle

The quest A Firm Response, stuck since the opening, can finally be completed.

Quest

1 change
  • Zephras Isle: the event of the quest A Firm Response (Windshaper Skyborne) got stuck after an enemy spawned, near the Shrine of Akir.
  • A first fix had failed a few days earlier; the 21 September one works and testers can complete the quest.

HotfixAnnounced by Blizzard

Better beta connection from Europe

Blizzard streamlines routing to the beta for European testers.

Servers (Europe)

1 change
  • During the first days, European testers had routing problems: sluggish movement and interactions, sometimes disconnects.
  • Blizzard says it put fixes in place within 24 hours to streamline routing to the beta from Europe.
  • Some players may still have issues when the cause is out of Blizzard's reach, for example at the internet provider or in a local firewall.

Known issuesAnnounced by Blizzard

Known issues: 18 September additions

Five new known issues, from the Cooldown Manager to resurrection sickness.

Added to the list

  • The Cooldown Manager is a work in progress; its state varies by class.
  • Armor bonuses from consumables and effects are multiplied by the Bear Form armor bonus.
  • Queuing a next-swing attack (Heroic Strike, Cleave, Raptor Strike) turns off the spell queue window.
  • Taking damage during Arcane Missiles fires a full-damage missile instead of a reduced one.
  • Resurrection sickness has the wrong duration at low levels.
