Khor Hotfix Reverted: September 6th

Recommended Posts

Blizzard hotfixed Khor, Hammer of the GuardianKhor, Hammer of the Guardian to item level 120 yesterday. The mace previously had stats and a higher item level. Players who obtained it found that their primary weapon had been nerfed after the hotfix. Fortunately, Blizzard reverted the original hotfix and you will find the item restored to its original glory! 

All Khor, Hammer of the GuardianKhor, Hammer of the Guardian that drop after the hotfix will be of ilvl 120. Hammers that dropped before the hotfix will be restored to their original ilvl.

I received a 360 mace from a new raid boss: 2 hours after the new raid released. 
24 hours later. this was nerfed to item level 130, while i was still wearing it.

it literally takes WEEKS of grinding to get a good weapon on your ridiculous game. then when players finally earn one, disenchant their old gear. The item gets nerfed.

The lack of common sense and respect for players in this situation is appalling to say the least

This was a brand new raid that drops BASE LEVEL 355+ gear.
And they nerfed a weapon down to 130 item level because 
"our mistake it should've never been there"

ask yourself. with LFR, Normal, heroic, and mythic transmog versions of this weapon. Why would we as players, want a 5th transmog version added to the loot table. at only 1/3 the item level?

The bind on equip greens from this same raid drop at 266 item level,
TWICE the level of this mace.

YES, in legion there were transmog weapons available. BECAUSE there were free ARTIFACT WEAPONS BIS.

There is no such thing here.

This was (and still is) a bug, but our initial response to discovering the issue had unfair consequences for players who had innocently earned and equipped what appeared to be a great weapon. We’re going to revert the change and proceed with a new fix that only lowers the item level of new drops.

Once this fix is live, anyone who had earned the weapon before our original hotfix should find that it has been restored to its original glory. If you’ve since deleted the weapon after it changed, you can restore it via our CS tools or contact CS directly for assistance.

Why does WoW even have beta and PTR servers?

Not all bugs are visible on PTR and Beta realms and most of the times people dont really bother filling in a bug report during testing in beta so Blizzard thinks it all works as intended.Raids cant really be tested that well since they are open at specific times during beta testing.

I don't understand why transmog weapon should exist in BfA with absence of artifact weapons. It is just stupid.

So far worst expansion ever. So much bugs and problems, that i have to ask myself if it is real? Its prety normal for mobs get stuck..not respawn or to not be able to return quest...but now it take the whole new level.

And the likely fixes are even worst (in most cases). As said before..why is there Alpha...Beta...PTR?! if the problems there are implemented in to life rervers and then "take care of" after 1/2 the comunity start pointing fingers. And in a those ridiculous ways (reducing stats and ilvl of weapon which should not be there...what a idiocy)….

What i am fealing from playing is BIG lack of effort and that the game got in to hads ppl ,who just dont care anymore :(

If you go strictly by number of bugs, sure.

On the other hand I've never seen Blizz fix so many bugs so fast (also, tuning issues being hit around the clock even during bug fixing times) which is compensating for it.

Oh, and Antorus did not last one full year, so we are actually playing this expansion way earlier than we would usually, that FAR outweights the bugs that showed up so far imho!

In this context, no player would know that this item isn't supposed to be a legit weapon... why would they submit a bug report?

You can restore items, and an item like this can be restored via a GM ticket if you are for whatever reason not eligible for item restoration.

 

Also useful for those reading this, not just directly in reply to you. ?

      Blizzard somehow forgot to update the item level of BoA tokens from Dreamsurges to the Season 4 item level so they recently hotfixed it to 454.
      On live servers, Celestine the Harvest now sells BoA gear tokens with item level 454 (up from 415). Visit the active Dreamsurge location to find the vendor.

      Check out our Dreamsurges guide for more information about the event!

      Players in Dark Heart can embark on a short quest in Valdrakken that rewards a Personal Tabard  that is account-wide, but the design you create is character-specific.
      After completing the quest, you can customize your Personal Tabard at tabard designers in any capital city. Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.

      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
      Awakened Raid Bosses
      Apparently, Splintered Spark of Awakening have a chance to drop from Awakened Raid bosses, as spotted by @azatoth668!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.
