Hotfix Notes - March 9, 2009

Weekly Hotfix Addresses Battlegrounds, Minor Bugs

This week's hotfox brings us a few changes to Battlegrounds, as well as raid mob changes and minor quest and item tweaks. 

GENERAL

  • It should be more difficult to get out of PvP combat after engaging someone in PvP combat.
  • You can no longer break PvP encounters by using /yell.
  • All raid mobs have had their damage and melee reduced by 10-20%

BATTLEGROUNDS

  • You will now only get a death credit in a battleground if you actually die.
  • Ungrouped members on the same team should be autogrouped after a few seconds.
  • The old group icons are back. So custom UI group icons should work normally now.
  • Russian names now display properly in the battleground leaderboard window.
  • Healing from wards will now count as healing given and healing received in the battleground leaderboard.


ITEMS

  • The descriptions for Clarissa's Content Countenance and Criggle's Chaotic Characteristics have been updated to resolve some confusion issues.
  • The following items have been changed from heirloom/lore-equip to no trade/lore:
    • exquisite woven boots
    • exquisite woven pants
    • exquisite woven shoulder pads
    • exquisite woven tunic
    • female tradesman boots
    • female tradesman gloves
    • female tradesman pants
    • female tradesman tunic
    • male tradesman boots
    • male tradesman gloves
    • male tradesman pants
    • male tradesman tunic
    • striking woven boots
    • striking woven pants
    • striking woven shoulder pads
    • striking woven tunic
    • dragon fastened robe
    • exquisitely stitched robe
    • female gold blouse
    • female gold skirt
    • formal wear female ensemble

QUESTS

  • Rewards from the ‘Shadows of the Betrayed’ signature quest are now correctly flagged as one-hand weapons.

TRADESKILLS

  • Tradeskilled adornments would not work on a large number of low-level items. This has been fixed.
  • The Hua Mein daily crafting missions now include only 1 mission that requires harvesting, equivalent to the Kerra and Quel’ule factions.

LAIR OF THE DRAGON QUEEN

  • Toxxulia should do less damage with her spells and melee.

PALACE OF ROEHN THEER

  • Maalus Shadowfyre will now cast his AOE spells at least 12 seconds apart from one another, rather than 8 seconds, giving players more time to recover after the previous AOE spell ticks.

PERAH CELSIS ABONIMABLE LABORATORY

  • Perah Celsis should do slightly less damage with his spells.
