Khor Hotfix Reverted: September 6th

Recommended Posts

Blizzard hotfixed Khor, Hammer of the GuardianKhor, Hammer of the Guardian to item level 120 yesterday. The mace previously had stats and a higher item level. Players who obtained it found that their primary weapon had been nerfed after the hotfix. Fortunately, Blizzard reverted the original hotfix and you will find the item restored to its original glory! 

All Khor, Hammer of the GuardianKhor, Hammer of the Guardian that drop after the hotfix will be of ilvl 120. Hammers that dropped before the hotfix will be restored to their original ilvl.

I received a 360 mace from a new raid boss: 2 hours after the new raid released. 
24 hours later. this was nerfed to item level 130, while i was still wearing it.

it literally takes WEEKS of grinding to get a good weapon on your ridiculous game. then when players finally earn one, disenchant their old gear. The item gets nerfed.

The lack of common sense and respect for players in this situation is appalling to say the least

This was a brand new raid that drops BASE LEVEL 355+ gear.
And they nerfed a weapon down to 130 item level because 
"our mistake it should've never been there"

ask yourself. with LFR, Normal, heroic, and mythic transmog versions of this weapon. Why would we as players, want a 5th transmog version added to the loot table. at only 1/3 the item level?

The bind on equip greens from this same raid drop at 266 item level,
TWICE the level of this mace.

YES, in legion there were transmog weapons available. BECAUSE there were free ARTIFACT WEAPONS BIS.

There is no such thing here.

This was (and still is) a bug, but our initial response to discovering the issue had unfair consequences for players who had innocently earned and equipped what appeared to be a great weapon. We’re going to revert the change and proceed with a new fix that only lowers the item level of new drops.

Once this fix is live, anyone who had earned the weapon before our original hotfix should find that it has been restored to its original glory. If you’ve since deleted the weapon after it changed, you can restore it via our CS tools or contact CS directly for assistance.

Why does WoW even have beta and PTR servers?

Not all bugs are visible on PTR and Beta realms and most of the times people dont really bother filling in a bug report during testing in beta so Blizzard thinks it all works as intended.Raids cant really be tested that well since they are open at specific times during beta testing.

I don't understand why transmog weapon should exist in BfA with absence of artifact weapons. It is just stupid.

So far worst expansion ever. So much bugs and problems, that i have to ask myself if it is real? Its prety normal for mobs get stuck..not respawn or to not be able to return quest...but now it take the whole new level.

And the likely fixes are even worst (in most cases). As said before..why is there Alpha...Beta...PTR?! if the problems there are implemented in to life rervers and then "take care of" after 1/2 the comunity start pointing fingers. And in a those ridiculous ways (reducing stats and ilvl of weapon which should not be there...what a idiocy)….

What i am fealing from playing is BIG lack of effort and that the game got in to hads ppl ,who just dont care anymore :(

If you go strictly by number of bugs, sure.

On the other hand I've never seen Blizz fix so many bugs so fast (also, tuning issues being hit around the clock even during bug fixing times) which is compensating for it.

Oh, and Antorus did not last one full year, so we are actually playing this expansion way earlier than we would usually, that FAR outweights the bugs that showed up so far imho!

In this context, no player would know that this item isn't supposed to be a legit weapon... why would they submit a bug report?

You can restore items, and an item like this can be restored via a GM ticket if you are for whatever reason not eligible for item restoration.

 

Also useful for those reading this, not just directly in reply to you. ?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
