Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios
Siege of Orgrimmar
:
Blackfuse Bombling
should no longer be incorrectly awarded from the Spoils of Pandaria encounter.
Icecrown Citadel
: Resolved an issue that could prevent players from being able to loot
The Lich King
if NPCs dealt fatal damage to him.
The Eye
: Added additional safeguards to the
Kael'thas Sunstrider
encounter to address issues that could cause him to sometimes not grant loot if he's defeated too quickly.
Achievements
Insane in the Membrane
: Resolved an issue where Exalted status with the various Steamwheedle Cartel factions, as well as Honored status with the
Bloodsail Buccaneers
faction, were not properly being credited if those reputations subsequently decreased. Players should now be able to earn this achievement if they have ever brought those five reputations to the required levels.
