Player Gets Overpowered 400K HP 12K DPS Felguard Monster in Mythic+ and Can't Get Rid of It

Recommended Posts

Here's one of those too good to be true scenarios that quickly turn into a bit of a nightmare. Cc4s2b9x recently got a LOT more than they were bargaining for from a Torghast run, as their Felguard became a rampaging HP and DPS monster, working in Mythic+ and everywhere else - and they just couldn't get rid of it!

While it's no mystery as to how the demon got the extra stats, with the various Warlock Anima powers in the tower (Pact of Infernal Intimacy Pact of Infernal Intimacy, Pact of Thickness Pact of Thickness), the fact that it retained those stats after some disconnects during the Torghast run is. Not having realized this, cc4s2b9x went to do some Mythic+ runs and started noticing Rinnrike the Felguard was a beefy one indeed, still sporting the 440,000 HP and doing around 12,000 DPS, in a +15 key no less!

It very quickly became obvious this was a bug, as the demon went back to its regular stats in safe zones like capital cities. Now, we've seen some Torghast powers escape the tower plenty of times during Shadowlands, but this one is a little special, as the fun little bug quickly became a bit of a nightmare. Cc4s2b9x realized what was happening after 2 dungeons, and decided to get rid of the bug, for fear of getting suspended - except that would prove to be a lot harder than you might think. Initially thinking it'd just go away with a game restart, cc4s2b9x had to try and fix it in various way for 5 days!

Trying everything from the simple re-summon, to letting the demon die, respecing, redoing Torghast with different powers, failing a run, even renaming it (and opening a ticket ofc) - nothing worked! Now, obviously simply playing with a different demon is the easiest solution, but the Felguard is an endgame demon so it's not exactly a great option. While searching for the answer cc4s2b9x had to respec to Destro and play that for a while, still in fear of getting suspended. Luckily after consulting the WoW reddit, a solution did eventually come, after a few more unsuccessful ones!

Enter the Glyph of Wrathguard Glyph of Wrathguard, as it arrived to the rescue thanks to redditor nametaken-_, as the beefiest of Felguards went down to its regular stats when aesthetically changed to the different demon.

And the final kicker? If the glyph is removed, the terminator Felguard returns with all of its massive power intact, still at 440K HP and 12K DPS! Will the monster ever be calmed? Will cc4s2b9x forever have an ace up their sleeve is someone really starts to annoy them in PvP or call them out for low DPS in a dungeon?

Why is it not fixed already? If the bug was in their profit making store, they would have it fixed within the hour of it being found, if they can do it there, they can do it everywhere....there is no excuse.

Former IT guy here. When it comes to bug fixing and issues, there are priorities. say someone cannot complete their M+ run because they're perma stunned for some reason, thats not good. thats decent priority and should get fixed, the main goal here is not a perma fix, just have the player roll along and figure out whats causing it and fixing it later, as they have other issues to deal with. Say fixing bugs with the latest raid that make it either hard/impossible/stupid easy, the M+ bug is only affecting a few people and is rather rare, compared to a raid bug, that even if it were occasional, thats upwards of 10 people affected at once and is in an extremely active part of the game, not saying M+ isn't but raids are the end game most new/old players envision. The bug in this post is a lesser example than either, it does break a bit of the game, but more of a positive sense, and the dude can just re-spec or as done here, change to wrathguard, theres a solid workaround here. and if people abuse it intentionally then slap them with a suspension. The reason something like this is slow to fix compared to a profit-related issue. then it isn't just affecting player satisfaction, depending on what it is. the finance team could be screaming at QA/Bug team for wow to fix it. and such would have a higher priority. Not saying I like how blizz do bug fixes, the famous "fix" in Hearthstone mercenaries with the mysterious stranger was unbelievably Appalling. though that could def be linked to finance as people are farming instead of buying packs.

TLDR: priorities are important when it comes to fixes, and this is on the lower end judging from impact of the bug.
On a smaller note, bug fixing is a pain in the *filtered* and can take time, for all i know fixing this bug could cause demonbolt to shoot at the felguard. for some reason. bugs are confusing as hell ;-;

No bug fixing needed, the bug doesn't seem to be easily reproducible and a GM could just remove auras from the target NPC, even private servers have tools for that.

But oh wait, they no longer hire GMs and trying to talk with a real person from support without first giving out your government issued ID and who knows what is impossible.

      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.
