Endless Rain of Fire and Blizzard on Beta

Recommended Posts

If you ever doubted or find yourself doubting the importance of betas and PTRs, well, just remember this. There's a bit of a bug going around the Battle for Azeroth beta in which the duration of Warlocks' Rain of Fire and Mages' Blizzard is increased...a little. Or rather infinity. Aside from making the game basically unplayable in areas where people have spammed said spells, due to frame rate drops and crashes, it's also made for some very impressive visuals! So if you were ever curious as to what would happen if Ragnaros and all fire elementals ever decided to heat things up on Azeroth, well, here you go:

And finally a couple of shots from our own intrepid Stan, who risked burning his graphics card to bring us these images (and promptly crashed right after taking them):

Saw it near Orgrimmar this morning, was confused when I could not see any Warlock casting Rain of Fire. But damn, it looks so pretty.

do you know if this glitch was used to beat bosses like G'huun on Heroic? (Seems like the last phase is neigh impossible atm)

 

I mean, it may do little damage, but that racks up immensely on a large fight (And perhaps the raid crashes before you can even get any solid numbers off of it ? )

Not only does the bug make rain of fire time infinite, but it seems to "cast" infinite copies of it in the same spot: when I tried to use a rain of fire in drustvar, for a time there were only a few meteors showering in that area. Minutes later that same spot was completely overrunned with gazillions of meteors just like in these images. Dunno if it's even a stress test but tbh blizzard doesn't seem too commited to solve this (or too hard to solve perhaps?) but its becoming really hard for beta testers to... test.

This glitch wasn't just affecting Rain of Fire and Blizzard (though they were the prettiest/most lag intensive :P). I believe it was affecting any type of AoE you could put down. Paladin's consecration was also being put down indefinitly. It was very fun xD

      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.
