War Mode Bonus from 8.3 Daily Quests Removed Temporarily

Recommended Posts

As some players have already noticed, we got confirmation today that War Mode bonuses for Visions of N'Zoth daily quests have been disabled since Thursday. This was done due to a separate issue that will hopefully be resolved in the coming days, when the bonus will be restored.

Check out everything that's coming with the new patch right here and the patch notes here.

    We’d like to confirm that, yes, the expected War Mode bonus for Visions of N’Zoth Daily Quests has been disabled since Thursday.

    This was necessary for our team to work to quickly fix a different issue. Our top priority right now is addressing these concerns, and we expect to restore all intended functionality in the coming days.

    War Mode and the bonuses granted by War Mode in all other content are unaffected.

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

    Hmmm, i wonder if this *problem* was players getting too much of a reward for it in that specific update and since its new, they want them to take longer to get high up and so on, so they are seeing if they can lower it to a point where it takes mind-numbingly long to get without it ticking off the players to the point that they stop playing.

    Yeah that isn't the only thing that is messed up this week. I did a horrific vision, loot the big chest at the end, loot window comes up. NO LOOT. Leave the vision area back to the chamber of the heart, still not loot. And to make things even more fun the vessel that I had bought to do a second one..... GONE. Even put a ticket in. Blizzards answer, well that sucks. We ain't gonna do squat about it though.

    Well they failed there. After two days of quests to "kill 4 rares" I don't feel like logging in.

    Many people might have been "abusing" it beyond what Blizz was intending.

    I'm not sure how? WM bonus only affects the dailies, and not the vision itself, and at 10k a pop for the vessel, dailies alone won't cover it even with WM. Or am I missing something?

    I'm still on an opinion they should simply remove all bonuses to war mode. It shouldn't affect pve, so only those who want to do pvp, would turn it on. There is huge imbalance, doesn't seem like they've even got any solution, as obviously people simply keep piling up on a more populated faction. Besides, some of those new quests have been very buggy.

    The point of the war mode bonus is to compensate for it taking you longer to complete the quests due to PvPing. Not so people who don't wanna PvP will be forced to turn it on for higher rewards. It's not complicated. If you want to PvP, turn it on. If you don't want to PvP, don't turn it on.

    Not exactly, Horde has basically no risk in entering war mode, because they've got the numbers, so they do benefit from their basic war mode bonus without any offset. Most of these people do not want to pvp, they are just turning it on for resource bonus, for pve reasons. Meanwhile, people on Alliance characters are turning it off, because you usually barely see any of them. And this continues, without any solution in sight (other than dividing players into equal groups, rather than factions), so at one point one faction won't see any enemies to kill, it will only get harder to do any world pvp content that requires player participation.

        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.
