2023 — November 29

[Torta]

• Due to recent unfavorable legislation in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, Shell Co offices have been closed, and Marlos Catos has relocated his investment business to Booty Bay.

• Leaving Razorgore's room in BWL is no longer possible before completing the encounter.

• Adjusted the proc rate of Brood Affliction: Bronze to 25%.

• Adjusted timers on abilities cast by Emperor Vek'nilash.

• Fixed the equip effect on Beastmaster's Gloves.

• Other bosses in BWL will now only spawn after completing the Razorgore encounter to prevent cheating.

• Vagrant's Challenge restrictions regarding enchants no longer apply once you reach level 60.

PvP buckle fix soon?

Regularity of changes is respectable. Such long list every week. Good job.

• Leaving Razorgore's room in BWL is no longer possible before completing the encounter.

• Other bosses in BWL will now only spawn after completing the Razorgore encounter to prevent cheating.

I assume there will be another shitstorm from tryhard raiders about how it is unfair to them?

This change has been implemented to combat the behavior of a known cheating software that allowed players to skip the first boss or pull raid bosses into the first boss room without going through the dungeon.

Is it possible to to the same in other dungeons? For example to skip its thrash?

We don't have such plans. Skipping trash isn't equivalent to skipping the bosses in the linearly designed raid, if done fair and square.

If someone interested what it actually means, you can refer to this commit in vMangos:
https://github.com/vmangos/core/commit/ ... 11f39b4658

I could probably misinterpreted this file, so take with with grain of salt.

For normal humans it means that mechanical creatures are immune to heal, drain, HoTs type of spells.
Elemental creatures are now immune to poison and diseases.
There are also a lot of specific changes to creatures. They are listed in this file https://github.com/vmangos/core/blob/de ... _world.sql

Interesting finds:
Myzrael is immune to slow, Archaedas is immune to stun and bleed
Mutanus the Devourer is immune to shadow spells
Skum is immune to nature spells
High Inquisitor Whitemane is immune to spell interrupts
Archmage Arugal is immune to stuns
Cyclonian is immune to stun
Gahz'rilla is immune to stun, spell interrupts, roots and stat reduce from Vindication
Teremus the Devourer is immune to fire, frost, poisons and bleed
Glutton is immune to slow, stun and roots
Onyxia is immune to stat reduce from Vindication
Jin'do the Hexxer is immune to taunt
Ragnaros is immune to poisons, diseases and stat reduce from Vindication
High Overlord Saurfang is immune to fear, gouge, stun

a lot of bosses are immune to stat reduce from Vindication and to spell interrupts

Can you remove the holy resistance that the drakinnoids and chromagus have in BWL? They didn't have these resistances in classic and it goes against the lore that no one has holy resistance in the world of warcraft.

That pocket watch change is why you don't buy any gear that looks good from the ah because it has to be a mistake. Here on twoi its world of instancecraft, you must raid to get anything good. Use gold wisely and pump Shellcoin.

• Fixed the Southshore Crier event.

Nice

well done :)

Having more monsters immune to poison and CC is just what the rogue class needed!
Talking about beating a dead horse.

This is just vanilla behavior. Rogues are one of the best classes in all aspects of the game, and turtle wow's mission statement is immersion and worldbuilding. It makes no sense to be able to poison a robot.

You're playing a different game. They're subpar in both PvP and PvE here.

Yeah but you can somehow inflict pain and corruption upon the same robot/elemental. Immersion for thee but not for me.

[Blackduck]

not to be a narc but the broken pocketwatch still has +2 spell hit

[Straydemon]

Are these changes all server side? Do we need to download a new client?

[Ftr]

I feel sorry to see that Cromi's stopwatch has been modified. In the new content, the physics profession has added 2 critical hits and 2 speed equipment, the healing profession has added 30 spell damage and 20% speed equipment with special effects. The level of these game equipment has reached T3 level. But what about the equipment of the magic profession? Only with an increase of 1 hit and 36 spell damage, this game equipment is equivalent to a T2 level. This is unfair.
