Live Опубликовано 21.12.2010 в 19:07 Miyari

The search radius to find an Archaeology node from the Archaeology ability Survey has been increased. This will result in fewer searches needed while in the "green" range of surveying.

Chakra is no longer consumed by a Prayer of Mending bounce.

Several shirts have been corrected so they no longer cause a player's item level to increase. They are item level 1.

Сфера хаоса

A hotfix was applied about an hour ago that changes it so Chaos Orbs will only be available for Need rolls by characters with Tailoring, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Engineering (minimum skill of 425 required). This fix may not appear until the next time realms are restarted, which is likely to be early tomorrow morning.

Cataclysm Hotfixes - December 20

General

Paid services now allow characters level 81 or higher to be transferred with up to 50,000 gold.
Several Winter's Veil decorations and NPCs have been checked for proper placement.
Silverbound Treasure Chests can now be opened and looted correctly.

Classes

Hunter

Cobra Shot is no longer refreshing the duration of the Wyvern Sting damage-over-time effect. Cobra Shot is correctly extending the damage-over-time effect applied by Serpent Sting.

Mages

Conjuring refreshments no longer count toward achievements like Set the Oven to "Cataclysmic" and Time To Open A Restaurant.
Impact is no longer applying damage-over-time effects to enemy targets who are not within line-of-sight of the original target. A target in line-of-sight with the original target is still affected appropriately, even if they are not in sight of the mage.

Priests

The range of the heal on Atonement has been increased to 15 yards. It has been verified to be working correctly for the priest and party/raid members.
Chakra is no longer consumed by a Prayer of Mending bounce.
Guardian Spirit's capped value did not rise properly from level 80-85. This has been corrected.

Dungeons & Raids

Lava Surgers present in several dungeons now have loot and can be mined.
Bastion of Twilight

Cho'gall's Worshipping effect can now correctly be interrupted with stuns and other interrupt abilities.
Valiona will now prioritize taking flight and interrupt Devouring Flames if it's cast during a transition.

Blackrock Caverns

Bellows Slaves no longer grant reputation.

Blackwing Descent

Lava Parasites will no longer cause the Magmaw encounter to reset if they Evade. In addition, their mounting range has been reduced to 5 yards and they can fail to mount when attacking players.

Grim Batol

Quests for Grim Batol are now appropriately flagged as dungeon quests.

Halls of Origination

Players are now able to zone into the dungeon if Anraphet is in combat.

Lost City of the Tol'vir

The Lockmaw encounter no longer resets if a Frenzied Crocolisk Evades.
Players are now able to zone into the dungeon if General Hussam is in combat.

The Stonecore

Ozruk's Paralyze ability is not supposed to critically hit and has been fixed.

Items

The buff from Corrupted Egg Shell will no longer absorb more than its intended amount.
Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade is no longer showing as available for purchase by any class but death knights.
Several shirts have been corrected so they no longer cause a player's item level to increase. They are item level 1.

Professions

The search radius to find an Archaeology node from the Archaeology ability Survey has been increased. This will result in fewer searches needed while in the "green" range of surveying.
The Alchemy specialization Elixir Master was granting extra potion procs instead of Potion Master when used on Cataclysm level recipes. The potions found to be causing this have been fixed.
Both Willful Ember Topaz and Lucent Ember Topaz no longer award skill past 515 Jewelcrafting skill. The designs still show as grey in the Profession window, but no longer award skill up to 525.
Several cooking recipes were not counting toward the achievement Set the Oven to "Cataclysmic" and have been updated. Note that Darkbrew Lager, Highland Spirits, and Chocolate Cookie are not intended to count for this achievement.

PvP

Killing a level 85 dwarf mage now properly updates the achievement criteria for Dwarf Slayer.
The return portal from Tol Barad now takes players to the appropriate capital city near the portal to Tol Barad.

Quests & Creatures

Shy Highlands Turkeys in Twilight Highlands are now coming out to play for achievements.
