Looks like 11.1.5 will add lots of fun for solo players :)

Comment by connor1970

Have they forgotten about Heirlooms? I hope not!

Comment by bulbacsi

Please noo! Blizz please Dont allow to use corruptions in PvP.. remember what happened in 8.3. One shot kills, instant dies.. dont let it happen again!

Comment by Simonius217

Still no word on the DF LFR NPC?

Comment by Nefarah

20% Exp Buff isn't much tho

Comment by taliaz

Note: Counterfeit Dealer's Chips are for transmogs. It's the Puzzling Cartel Chips that will get you gear.

Comment by Chillvik

cant wait🙏

Comment by Vinni

Please add the dumb timegated schedule for this patch in this article...

Comment by KodokuTenshi

Lowkey excited about the Cooldown Manager. This let's me streamline CD tracking across all classes without needing different class WA packages that constantly need updating. Small W.

Comment by Awood2009

I'm new in terms of creating a wowhead account, but with the new world event Winds of Mysterious Fortune giving 20% increased xp from lvl 10 to 80. Will this stack with Warband? the reason why I ask is b/c I have Warband Mentor at 20% already and I plan on leveling some characters from lvl 45 to 80 within this week during this week's Timewalking Dungeons. 40% xp boost will be HUGE for me to lvl up some more toons.

Nightfall scenario is extremely bugged. Kill final boss, gives loot but scenario doesn't progress

Comment by Renaissan

Great stuff - but clearer instructions on how to queue for the Nightfall scenario would be SO helpful. In game there is nothing. And nothing on Wowhead either. I shouldn't have to look outside of game on how to do stuff inside it.

Comment by dmachado

The new Cooldown is fairly useless. It can't be moved from it's position on the screen and the cooldowns can't be changed. The tool tip for the advanced checkbox says the HUD is customizable, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Comment by Sakkros

a patch with 0 content if you are up to date the day of the patch, and forces you to play with the damn profiling for addons activated consuming your resources for nothing and losing 15-20 fps :)

Comment by MikeMJG

Instead of using addons, you could just pay attention to the screen. Look at the icons under your portrait and what is in top-right of screen near map. That is all the help I've needed since day 1.

Also, I can't wait til they change macros. They should only be used for text lines. They are abused sooooo much by players that don't have the coordination, reflexes or skills to play the game correctly.

Comment by sivla

It still baffles my mind that the nightfall event has a really nasty bug, that you will either experience or not. I spoke to a GM to try and get some help on the matter since after defeating the last boss I never got the token to go and get better gear from the vendor. He basically said it's a known bug, your interface can cause the token to disappear, and a reset is advised, if that doesn't work, wait for an hour or two, the token should appear, but its probable this won't happen. He gave me a link specifically to the final boss bug for this missing token. He said he couldn't help me, and wished he could, but this is a developer problem and all we can really do is forward the bug report directly to them.
How can this pretty big bug have got past their QA and testers? He said there are lots of people in the same boat.

Comment by Samhain138

Did they increase the difficulty of Delve bosses? I can not beat the boss on any of the T11 delves since this patch.

Even as a terrible of a player as I am, I was able to beat them the day before the patch.

Comment by Netspook

WHY can't we have content patches without new faction grinds and worthless currencies?

It's a rinse-and-repeat formula that's been going on so long it's laughable.

Comment by valnybo

It is time to quit using new appearances for my armor as the big reward at the end of whatever scenario. I don't collect appearances. After 20 years of WoW I really feel cheated when I get these worthless rewards for more armor appearances after thinking I was working for crests to upgrade my real armor. PLEASE at least give me a choice. Running any scenario costs me resources. At least reward me with something worth my flask.
