Not a Bug List: August 30th Not a Bug List: August 30th It looks like the Not a Bug list isn't going anywhere as we got our first post-launch issue! We have the dreaded escort quests coming up and the fact that escort NPCs really want you to stay close come up, as well as more frequent mob spawns in certain conditions.

World First (West) Classic Level 60, with 360,000+ Viewers by Jokerd World First (West) Classic Level 60, with 360,000+ Viewers by Jokerd The first level 60 (in the West) has arrived! Jokerd has managed to keep the lead he's had pretty much throughout the latter part of leveling and close out the competition on top. The AoE mob grind strategy turned out to be the the correct one, helped by the new layering tech which allows for much faster mob respawns. It took around 92 hours of real time (sleep, or what little he got, included) to get to the top, and he managed to do it with over 360,000 people watching him live on Twitch!

He went with a frost mage speed clearing build and was completely focused on the Plaguelands in the final dozen or so levels and we have a guide for his build ready right here!

Classic World First Level 60 Coming Today Classic World First Level 60 Coming Today Today's the day we get a level 60 in Classic! Or well, at least in the West, as it's entirely possible there already is one on Asia servers, as they were in the lead earlier in the race. 4 days is what it's going to take to get to the level cap in Classic it seems, with the speedrunners about to end their race. We heard a lot about Method's race and event, but it's JokerD that's currently just shy of one level away from claiming that title. WoW Classic WoW Classic Today at 16:07 by Starym 10 comments

Warcraft Ripoff Game Sued by Blizzard and Shut Down Warcraft Ripoff Game Sued by Blizzard and Shut Down We've all seen plenty of games, especially in the mobile space, that use Blizzard and more specifically Warcraft imagery, either in their promotional material or even in the game itself. Glorious Saga (called Glorious World in the West, and even listed under a different developer, but still carrying the Glorious Saga name in-game and on its store page) goes several steps further as it uses Warcraft images, sound cues, characters and more - and Blizzard has had enough of it, suing the developer Sina Games for copyright infringement.

New Alterac Valley 15th Anniversary Details New Alterac Valley 15th Anniversary Details After the play with the blues event and Alterac Valley anniversary testing, Blizzard has given some feedback on the issues that are still present in the battleground, as well as clarified a few more details about the event - including the fact that players will be able to jump in as soon as level 10 and all players will be set to level 60 while in the instance.

Depending on the actual xp gained this may be another of those events that's very beneficial for alt leveling (like the pre-Legion invasions which were amazing), but even if it doesn't reward tons of xp, it's going to be a fun way to level nonetheless. And remember, you'll be able to earn two new mounts (one for each faction= from the battleground as well.

Patch 8.2 and Classic Hotfixes: August 27th Patch 8.2 and Classic Hotfixes: August 27th This one's a little weird as Blizzard have decided to include Classic hotfixes in with the modern 8.2 ones - which is hopefully just a temporary thing as this is the first Classic hotfix ever. In any case, the Classic fix is the already announced change to how realm populations are displayed, while 8.2 has fixes for M+ Siege of Boralus, a whole lot of item fixes, including Leviathan's Lure no longer breaking CC and some added red text for classes that can't use the Rank 4 essences from Queen Azshara. We also get a size increase for the Siltwing Albatross mount. World of Warcraft WoW Aug 28, 2019 at 01:30 by Starym 3 comments
