That probably explains some reason why my dps felt low today on my affli, I was really confused... Glad to hear it's been fixed and good to know the reason for it :)

They'll be busy I'm sure with more bugs, the archaeology digsites are bugged in Azsuna. I got 2 sites I can't finish because the dig spot is outside the dig-able zone. Mini map has some crazy twisting on the zones you can dig mostly Llothien and Ruins of Zarkhenar are ones I got locked out of. So at least got 1 usable dig site I can finish and keep rotating for now, some reports saying there's a 3rd but haven't seen it yet.

Still waiting for personal loot in old raids to be addressed. Farming transmog is just disgusting right now.

"Fixed a bug which was causing assassination rogues to be viable in Legion end game raiding." Thanks Blizzard, I was getting worried that the theorycrafters might start saying my spec was good again. Phew, what a relief.

It's a nerf, going from 2 ticks to one tick and a partial

It seems PTR teams this time screwed up greatly....

I have that same problem. Its like it one of those floppy laundry hampers that folds in on itself.

This has made old dungeons a misery. You get zero loot in most runs, and those runs can now only be done by a narrow range of classes - my feral Druid can’t get some agility fists, Hunter can’t get 2h axes, warrior can’t get ranged weps, mage can’t get agi or str swords, and on and on. Blizzard has hammered the Transmog community - so they can stuff their Transmog event and their low level bull

Significantly increased the Spinal Dust drop rate on the Ghostlands quest “ Spinal Dust”.

LOL. About 10 years late, but better than never. I leveled up a new belf not long ago (first one since TBC, actually) and ended up dropping that quest. I think I had about 1/2 what I needed after 50+ kills.

Significantly increased the Spinal Dust drop rate on the Ghostlands quest “ Spinal Dust”.

Increased?... I was attempting this quest on my undead alt just after the patch dropped and after 30 kills still not a single spinal dust drop... figured the quest was bugged, dropped it and went to pick it back up but the quest no longer showed...
Really hope they get this stuff sorted soon.

I am not getting any loot either. I ran sfk only 3 times because even the bosses did not drop anything but gold or cloth. so upset about transmog not dropping.

Comment by Seriniel

are you kidding ? rogues were consistently above 3.5M dps with that exploit. it was fun to watch, but game breaking.

Why even have a one hand sword for hunters ? It's not like we use them lolm maybe SV in BFA.

You can easily fix that in raids by forming a closed premade group and then changing the loot rules to group loot.

(doesnt work for dungeons though)

I disagree. This was a massive overhauling. It's actually pretty impressive how few issues there were.

This was an issue for a while with some of the raids before this change. You had to do some janky tricks that involved partying up and changing the loot rules - I have to assume that still works now in the meantime.

Using /ffa, or shoving yourself in a LFG tool group doesn't work. It's still set to personal loot, regardless of what you do. At least for dungeons. I haven't tried it in raids, since I haven't wanted to waste the rest of my lockouts.
