Comment by scopelThe Mythic Keystone Dungeon leaderboards now support up to the top 500 rankings (was top 100).Comment by zequillThanks Blizzard for fixing Raider I.O BS. Still salty about my Keystone 15 not counting.Comment by dokeefe1986They finally fixed that rumble card bug? Wow. Better late than never I guess.Comment by lexicologicalStill hoping one of these hotfix lists will have an Ashran fix one of these days...Comment by KyrooFor Real, I've done some +20s and +19s on my shaman and they aren't counted. I just stopped caring about Raider.io and only ran with friends.Comment by FinnMacCool311No update for fixing the Time Walking tuning ... it's messed up when TW for old content is now not only significantly harder and more unbalanced than it was pre-patch, but it is also now more challenging than current content level mythic dungeons ...Comment by Sp33deyNo update for fixing the Time Walking tuning ... it's messed up when TW for old content is now not only significantly harder and more unbalanced than it was pre-patch, but it is also now more challenging than current content level mythic dungeons ...Comment by FinnMacCool311No update for fixing the Time Walking tuning ... it's messed up when TW for old content is now not only significantly harder and more unbalanced than it was pre-patch, but it is also now more challenging than current content level mythic dungeons ...Comment by jamklevGlad you had no problems, but you are the only one I've heard with that take on things. I'm sure others will also say that they're super easy and had no issues. I'd be very interested in seeing #s on how many folks think things were just as easy as prepatch compared to those that thing TW went off the railsComment by PenepheleSomething I noticed after logging in that was not mentioned:

The Celestial Steed mount had some of its sounds changed. Only the mount-up effects are different now. They sound just like a regular horse. All others remain unchanged.

I'm not sure if this was intentional, if they plan to change the remaining sounds as well, or if it's a mistake and they'll revert to the old effects at some point.Comment by darthmogrinoh god, why didnt they fix Kross achievment yet?Comment by 1522994Races are not live cause you can't get them out of the store. Sure, Blizz will charge your account for it, multiple times in fact, but you won't have access to what you paid for. ScamComment by JeremySTW: is not overchallenging, but takes longer and more effort than current Mythic or low M+. Due to more HP and damage it not a trivial collect everythinf and then AoE at boss, and some abilities can one-shot people.

For me it basically QoL change as it were usual to run 5 TW dungeons on at least 11 characters for additional Seal of Fate and chance to get a mount from TW bosses. Usually, if you won't get unlucky to roll Black Morass run took 5-7 minutes top. SO with smalll breaks here and there in hour you could finish complete runs on 2 characters. WIth changes in 7.3.5 single run take from 25 to 30 minutes. Average clear of 5 dungeons is 2-2,5 hours. So totally for 11 characters it's 5,5 hours vs 27,5 hours that makes a huge difference. Actually just CBAComment by SihhnTW: is not overchallenging, but takes longer and more effort than current Mythic or low M+.

I soloed the place with relative ease with my Warrior until his encounter. =(

He's currently the only 25 man pandaria boss I have issues with.Comment by DufflesAs far as I can tell, the Mythic+ leaderboards still only display top 100, both for EU and US. Am I missing something or did Blizzard really not expand them yet?
