Blizzard

Hey all,

Some players did not receive their titles as expected - we are aware of this. We have a fix that will be deployed during realm restarts which should be happening within the next 24 hours. We’ve made sure that all eligible players are flagged correctly, and we expect this distribution to go smoothly.

We appreciate your patience with this, and thank you for your understanding.

Comment by Grumar Mages calling for buffs, get nerfs. Hunters calling for buffs, get skyrocketed. GGComment by Interest The crafting costs for Tome of the Tranquil Mind and Codex of the Tranquil Mind have been significantly reduced.that's quite a reductionComment by sceriasis4 More priest nerfs...... What the hell why do you keep nerfing shadow Comment by Joshmaul Is this looking like the Eye of Aman'thul will NOT be obtainable in LFR? Because if not, I'd better start doing more mythics and trying to get into some raids... Comment by Kyllandra Blizz loves to unbalance the classes! Lets nerf mediocre classes and buff OPed class. Yaaaaaaay! Comment by ZeroEdgeir Is this looking like the Eye of Aman'thul will NOT be obtainable in LFR? Because if not, I'd better start doing more mythics and trying to get into some raids...Comment by ONCHEhap More nerfs to already nerfed tanks, doesn't bode well.Comment by Richmond79 Used to play casual BGs all the time with my 12 max level characters. The pvp changes they keep doing are making me stop on all but 1 or 2 classes. Having worked hard in pve and pvp to earn gear and ap to become more powerful, when I set foot in a BG I am suddenly weak. Fiddling with templates etc means stats just go through the floor. Abilities that hit hard in pve suddenly do nothing in pvp. It's just horrible. I hope they dump the idea of nerfing people's stats in future patches - why accumulate 75% mastery if that's good for skills, and then see it drop to 25% in a BG? Rubbish Comment by Flowerks Where did the chest Suramar? 10 days have passed. It was not long after the start 7.1.5 Comment by thomeef Actually, this is the best balance hotfix long time ago, all overpower class got a bit nerf, frost dk, dh, arcane+fire, destro, affli! They all ruined the game since months. Ty blizz, this is the good way! Comment by Moyx Why u keep nerfing mages? I'm about to quit wow after 10 years after you are not able to fix your own game and if some plyers finds a way to play his spec a way you didnt pretend to be viable, you just nerf it hard... GG WP Blizzard are u new in games or what? RIP Glacial mage, RIP Flame path mage RIP Arcane pvp mage Comment by Dabraxus Why u keep nerfing mages? I'm about to quit wow after 10 years after you are not able to fix your own game and if some plyers finds a way to play his spec a way you didnt pretend to be viable, you just nerf it hard... GG WP Blizzard are u new in games or what? RIP Glacial mage, RIP Flame path mage RIP Arcane pvp mageComment by Anubishaman More nerf to Druid tank? Why? How can we compete in 2v2 now?
Before we could at least shut down one caster, now that is not even possible. Comment by Iceleaf Is this looking like the Eye of Aman'thul will NOT be obtainable in LFR? Because if not, I'd better start doing more mythics and trying to get into some raids...Mages calling for buffs, get nerfs. Hunters calling for buffs, get skyrocketed. GGAre you quite sure about thatComment by Zerkxes Used to play casual BGs all the time with my 12 max level characters. The pvp changes they keep doing are making me stop on all but 1 or 2 classes.

RubbishComment by Phantasmii And it still seems that pvp is unplayable due to the respawn bug that's effecting casual pvp causing you not to be able to revive via spirit healers and not at all if your insignia is taken. Game eating bug and they are more worried about nerfing a crappy spec and class.. smh Comment by kidistight Perhaps I am a littler delirious from the drugs I am taking fighting this cold, but weren't WQ rewards suppose to get a bump in ilevel as well as mythic and heroic loot. I thought it was suppose to go live last week, nope. I looked this week, nope. Comment by neoslayyer Mages calling for buffs, get nerfs. Hunters calling for buffs, get skyrocketed. GG
