wow Patch 9.0.2 Hotfixes: November 26th

[Staff 1,488]

 

Another very big batch today! From the Barrens/Westfall graveyard glitch, class tweaks, the Covenant switching and Oribos War Mode fixes announced earlier and plenty more Covenant campaign and quest improvements, and a whole lot more!

November 26 (source)

Character

• [With realm restarts] Oribos no longer separates players with War Mode enabled from those who have it disabled.
• Falling off the edge of the Shattered Grove in Maldraxxus will no longer send the character to Westfall or the Barrens. Falling to your death is enough punishment.

Classes

• Mage
  • General
    • Fixed an issue where Dimensional Blade (Torghast Anima Power) would sometimes not instantly kill Mawrats when Blinking through them.
• Paladin
  • Retribution
    • Seraphim (Talent) now correctly triggers Selfless Healer (Talent).
• Shaman
  • Enhancement
    • Windfury Totem procs now have sound and the volume of the Maelstrom Weapon proc sound has been lowered.

Covenants

• Players who switch covenants after completing the Maw introduction and gathering 5 Redeemed Souls for their first covenant should now find that they have 5 Redeemed Souls waiting for them in their new covenant. Players who changed covenants prior to this fix and were roadblocked by missing Redeemed Souls should visit Oribos, which will perform a process that corrects the issue.
• Adventures missions now appear immediately after completing the tutorial when switching covenants.
• Kleia is now a bit more chatty and now welcomes being the chosen Soulbind in Elysian Hold.

Creatures and NPCs

• Scorched Crypt Key can now open the Crypt Door to Innervus.
• Night Fae characters in Soulshape form can now pass through the barrier protecting Skuld Vit.
• Derwynnthlmn will now offer his Flight Master services to players that have chosen the Night Fae Covenant.

Dungeons and Raids

• Mythic Keystone Dungeons
  • Mists of Tirna Scithe
    • Explosive Orbs will no longer spawn inside Tred’ova.
    • Gormling Larva will now spawn Explosive Orbs at player locations instead of their location.
• Halls of Atonement
  • Fixed an issue where Revendreth players with combat pets could not correctly interact with Loyal Stoneborn.

Items and Rewards

• The cooldown of Slumberwood Band's effect can no longer be prematurely cleared by death or by using immunities and similar effects.
• The Oribobber now makes sound when a fish is hooked.
• Resolved an issue where Master Duelist's Chit trinket would fail to correctly display its visual effect when striking targets at range.

Quests

• Covenant Campaign
  • Fixed an issue where depositing anima during the Covenant Campaign tutorial quest “Into the Reservoir” could sometimes consume the player's earned anima instead of the tutorial anima.
  • Fixed an issue where Night Fae players who skipped parts of Covenant Chapter 1 by speaking to the Winter Queen, but had not yet done the campaign quests at the Star Lake Amphitheater on any character, would be unable to turn in the quest "Show, Don't Tell."
  • The boss will no longer reset when dealing the killing shot at the same time as being ejected from Bron during the Mikanikos “Path of Ascension” scenario.
  • Lady Moonberry has finished her prank and is no longer in two places at once for Night Fae who leveled via Threads of Fate during the quest "The Boon of Shapes."

  • The chest for “Trial of Courage” no longer despawns as soon as you reach it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Chamber Guardians could fail to attack during the quest, "You Go First."

  • To prevent phasing issues, “Kill Them, Of Course” must be turned in before “Secrets Among the Shelves” can be accepted.

  • Elder Finnan, Elder Gwenna, and Groonoomcrooek have all returned to their homes, if you are searching for them for the Lady of the Falls after accepting "Ages-Echoing Wisdom."

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

• Added missing sounds to some creatures and boss abilities.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Arch-Suppressor Laguas to become afflicted with Thrall’s Earthen Crush ability and permanently evade all oncoming attacks.
• Fixed an issue that allowed Unnatural Power to be removed with mind control abilities.

World Quests
