Dungeons
- Afflicted cast time increased to 12 seconds (was 10 seconds).
- Incorporeal now spawns closer to the group’s general location.
- Developers’ notes: The changes above were originally intended for Dragonflight Season 4, but we decided we’d prefer to have players to experience them sooner.
- Addressed an issue where Afflicted Cry’s debuff duration was increased by 2 seconds instead of its cast time.
Items
- Fixed an issue that could cause raid bosses to not drop tier tokens as expected.
- Fixed an issue where items from the Cache of Overblooming Treasures awarded from the Superbloom were dropping at a lower item level and upgrade track than intended.
- Fixed a bug that prevented some mounts, such as the Auspicious Arborwyrm or the mounts associated with the Dragonflight achievement A World Awoken, from being accessible to players who previously earned them.
- Fixed a bug that caused some gear to unintentionally become as powerful as it will be when Season 4 starts.
- Developers’ notes: We’ve set these pieces back to their Season 3 item levels for the remainder of Season 3.
Transmogrification
- Players can now view the Plunderlord’s Finery Transmog Set on their retail characters as they work towards earning all the pieces during the Plunderstorm event.
More Plunder for the Plundering
Greetings fellow plunderers!
It’s been a great experience seeing the community having fun, posting about your wins, creating lists of the best builds, and taking to the forums with thoughtful feedback. We’ve been reading and listening very closely to a lot of feedback since we launched Plunderstorm, and the number one issue we’ve heard about is the Renown you earn.
We see that you care deeply about preserving the experience like we do, but you also feel that earning rewards should happen more quickly. And we agree.
With hotfixes that we’ve just made live to all regions, we’ve increased the amount of plunder that you’ll earn in a match of Plunderstorm, and the increases are nearly across the board:
- Plunder dropped by other players significantly increased.*
- Plunder from non-player enemies increased by 50%.
- Plunder from golden chests doubled.
- Top placement in a match now rewards 500 Plunder (was 100).
*Please note: when you die, you do not lose any of your own plunder. With this change, you’re now worth more plunder to others, depending on how much you’ve collected during the match.
We think the rewards available from Plunderstorm are super cool and our team couldn’t be more excited to see players flying around on the Polly Roger mount in Classic or running around with Captain Pepe by their side in Dragonflight.
We hope that this helps everyone get a bit further during their play and encourages everyone to have more piratey fun.
Please keep that feedback coming! We really appreciate it.
