Icy Veins' Weekly Recap spotlights the latest World of Warcraft news!

This week in World of Warcraft has been relatively quiet, with most of the post-PAX attention going towards Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm. Nevertheless, there is still some notable news this week! The Azeroth Choppers webseries previewed last week has just aired its first episode, and a few more hotfixes have been made for the latest Mist of Pandaria live build. Our friends over at MMO-Champion have posted another huge set of data from the latest Warlords of Draenor Alpha build, including new models and garrison information. Blizzard has also spotlighted their latest World of Warcraft universe Heroes of the Storm hero, Brightwing the Faerie Dragon. Read on for the full details of this week in World of Warcraft news!

World of Warcraft Patch 5.4.7 Latest Hotfixes


Blizzard has published just a few more hotfixes this week, including a fix to a long-running issue with the achievement Insane in the Membrane. They've also made some fixes to ensure that players will properly receive loot from the Lich King and Kael'Thas encounters. They've also removed the Blackfuse Bombling drop from the Spoils of Pandaria encounter, not that this bug was necessarily a bad thing, as I'm sure players appreciated the extra opportunity to get the pet! The Blackfuse Bombling will now only drop from Siegecrafter Blackfuse (as expected).

Blizzard Icon 5.4.7 Hotfixes

+ Show- Hide

April 14


Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios
  • Siege of Orgrimmar: Blackfuse Bombling should no longer be incorrectly awarded from the Spoils of Pandaria encounter.
  • Icecrown Citadel: Resolved an issue that could prevent players from being able to loot The Lich King if NPCs dealt fatal damage to him.
  • The Eye: Added additional safeguards to the Kael'thas Sunstrider encounter to address issues that could cause him to sometimes not grant loot if he's defeated too quickly.
Achievements
  • Insane in the Membrane: Resolved an issue where Exalted status with the various Steamwheedle Cartel factions, as well as Honored status with the Bloodsail Buccaneers faction, were not properly being credited if those reputations subsequently decreased. Players should now be able to earn this achievement if they have ever brought those five reputations to the required levels.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 3 Week 20
      This week's affixes are: Tyrannical, Afflicted, and Bolstering.
