Patch 10.2.5 - February 1, 2024 Hotfixes: Mythic+ Bug Fixes and mage's Shifting Power Visual
Hey there, WoW enthusiasts! We have some exciting news for you today. Blizzard has just released a set of hotfixes that address various issues in World of Warcraft. Whether you're a fan of Dragonflight, Wrath of the Lich King Classic, Burning Crusade Classic, Season of Discovery, or WoW Classic, there's something for everyone. Let's dive into the details!
Achievements
First up, we have a fix for the achievement "Battle Mender: Season 3." Players were experiencing issues with this achievement not providing progress. Well, fear not! Blizzard has resolved the issue, and now you can continue your journey towards completing it.
Classes
Mage
Next, let's talk about Mages. Shifting Power, a powerful spell used by Mages, had a bit of an overwhelming visual effect. It was causing some disruption for the Mage's allies, but worry not! Blizzard has listened to player feedback and reduced the visual size of Shifting Power. This change should make it less disruptive for Mages and their teammates.
Dungeons and Raids
Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope
In the dreamy Amirdrassil, there was an issue with two creatures: Fyrakk the BlazingFlamebound and Shadowbound. These creatures were private auras, causing some confusion among players. However, Blizzard has put an end to this mystery by removing the private auras. Now, the encounter should be more straightforward and enjoyable for all.
Blackrook Hold
Our next stop is Blackrook Hold, where Lady Velendras Ravencrest and her entourage reside. Previously, players noticed that the enemies around Lady Velendras did not have linked aggro, making the encounter a bit chaotic. But fear not! Blizzard has come to the rescue once again and fixed the issue. Now, the enemies will behave as intended, providing a more cohesive and challenging experience for players.
Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond's Fall
In the Dawn of the Infinite dungeon, there was a pesky bug where Manifested Timeways occasionally cast "Unwind" during keystones. This unexpected behavior caused some frustration for players. But worry not! Blizzard has squashed that bug and restored order. Manifested Timeways will no longer cast "Unwind" during keystones, making the dungeon run smoother than ever before.
The Everbloom
Lastly, we have some fixes for The Everbloom dungeon. First, an issue with the Ancient Protectors encounter failing to respawn has been resolved. No more waiting around for them to come back! Additionally, Archmage Sol, a formidable opponent, had a knack for casting Cinderbolt Storm twice after gaining Fire Affinity. That was quite a challenge to overcome. However, Blizzard has fixed the issue, and Archmage Sol will now adhere to the rules of fair play. Finally, the mages before Archmage Sol were not resetting their health after they left combat. But worry not! Blizzard has restored their health-resetting abilities, ensuring a balanced and strategic encounter.
Pet Battles
Now, let's talk about our furry and scaly companions in Pet Battles. Blizzard has addressed an issue that was causing several multi-hit Battle Pet abilities to ignore on-death passives such as Undead or Mechanical resurrection. This issue caused an uneven playing field, but thanks to Blizzard's efforts, the playing field is now level once again!
Player versus Player
Lastly, we have a fix for an issue in Player versus Player (PvP) combat. Stoneform and Fireblood were triggering a longer cooldown for Gladiator's Medallion than intended. This unintended consequence was causing some frustration among PvP enthusiasts. But fret not! Blizzard has corrected the issue, and now Stoneform and Fireblood will trigger the intended cooldown for Gladiator's Medallion, ensuring a fair and balanced PvP experience.
That wraps up our hotfixes for today. Blizzard has been hard at work, addressing various issues to enhance your World of Warcraft experience. Remember, some of these fixes may require scheduled realm restarts to take effect, so keep an eye out for those. We hope you enjoy these updates and continue to have a fantastic time in the world of Azeroth!
Final Thoughts
We want to give a big shoutout to Blizzard for their dedication to creating the best possible gaming experience for World of Warcraft players. Hotfixes like these are a testament to their commitment to providing a polished and enjoyable game environment. We appreciate their efforts and can't wait to see what they have in store for us in future updates. Happy gaming!
