The Final Not a Bug List Update Before Launch

Recommended Posts

The probably final update to the infamous "Not a Bug" list has arrived and we have a number of things from all over the place, from non-loot roll triggering chests to offhand Windfury procs, invisible quivers and, most importantly, the fact that logging into Classic or BfA while logged in to the other one will disconnect you!

Hi All,

I’ve just updated the OP with the following:

  • The chest at the end of the encounter with The Seven in Blackrock Depths does not prompt a loot roll. Beware of Ninjas!
  • Shield Slam and other off-hand abilities does not proc extra attacks from Windfury.
  • Logging into World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth while playing WoW Classic on the same game account will disconnect you from WoW Classic. This is true in reverse as well.
  • Other players do not see a Hunter’s quiver on their back.
  • Hunters can sometimes experience a slight delay before recasting Auto Shot after moving.
    • Note: There is a hidden “retry” timer that occurs if the hunter is moving when the normal swing timer finishes. This timer checks for hunter movement before trying to resume auto shot, and this timer refreshes every 500ms when the hunter is moving. This means that if a Hunter is moving and stops moving just after this timer refreshes, you need to wait until this retry timer checks again to validate that you are no longer moving before you resume casting auto shot. This is not a result of spell batching or server heartbeats, and is specific to the functionality of a Hunter’s Auto Shot and is consistent with Auto Shot functionality on the Reference client

And here's the full and updated list itself:

As we’ve discussed before, the nature of WoW Classic sometimes invokes different memories for different players, and this leads to certain misconceptions for some about what is or isn’t working as intended.

The following is a list of commonly-reported gameplay in WoW Classic that is not actually a bug, and is working as we expect it to:

  • Tauren’s hitboxes and their melee reach is slightly larger than other races.
  • Being critically struck while using /sit to sit does not cause abilities like Enrage, Blood Craze, and Reckoning to activate.
  • Using the “Automatic Quest Tracking” option does not auto-track newly accepted quests. (It instead will start to track an existing quest once progress towards an objective is started.)
  • Warrior health Regeneration is working at the expected rate.
  • Quests objectives and points of interests are not tracked on the map or minimap.
  • Completed quests are marked on the minimap with a dot. (and not a “?”)
  • Feared players and NPCs run fast.
  • Standing on top of other players while facing away allows spells and attacks to be used.
  • Creature respawn rates are much slower than in Battle for Azeroth.
  • NPCs which offer multiple quests may inconsistently display them as a dot or a “!” on the available quests list. They were inconsistent in 1.12, and we’ve reproduced the exact inconsistency they had back then.
  • Quests that are too low level for do not show up as a “!” in the game world.
  • Available quests do not display a “!” on the minimap.
  • On level up, the message: “Your skill in Protection increased to 15” was added in 1.12.1, and we’re intending to keep that.
  • You are unable to Polymorph enemy targets that are tapped by players with whom you are not grouped.
  • At all levels of player characters and enemies, aggro radius is set to the intended distance.
  • Long quest objectives don’t have text wrapping.
  • Fall damage is equivalent to expected and verified values.
  • Broadcast text can be seen multiple times if multiple players interact with the same NPC.
  • WANTED signs do not have “!”, and are also not highlighted.
  • Player characters do not animate when looting/interacting with quest objects (e.g. collecting pumpkins).
  • Gnomes and Taurens are the correct size.
  • “Melee leeway” is working as intended in both PvE and PvP.
  • Cone of Cold is behaving consistently with the reference client.
  • Arcane Missiles does not put the caster in combat .
  • A Hunter’s Frost Trap ground effect will break Rogues out of stealth.
  • The Berserking Troll racial ability is behaving as expected and matches the reference client.
  • The pet that a Warlock has when initially logging into the game world does not restore a Soul Shard when dismissed by taking a flight path or moving out of range.
  • The trigger range on Hunter’s traps are reduced by Stealth when the stealthed player is a similar or higher level than the Hunter.
  • Soul Link cannot be dispelled by dispelling the Warlock’s pet.
  • A Warlock’s Succubus and Felhunter pet cannot cast spells if they are out of line of sight of the target.
  • Manually cancelling Stealth after using Vanish will remove the Vanish buff as well as the Stealth buff.
  • Escape Artist has a very small chance to fail when used to escape an effect that has a decreased chance to be dispelled (e.g. a Rogue’s Vile Poisons talent).
  • Rogues are not broken out of stealth by Blizzard until they take damage.
  • Taunting Hunter pets that are set to Aggressive or Defensive mode will cause them to attack the taunting player.
  • The threat generated by Battle Shout is not capped at 5 party members and is increased when affecting targets such as Hunter and Warlock pets within the same party.
  • The chest at the end of the encounter with The Seven in Blackrock Depths does not prompt a loot roll. Beware of Ninjas!
  • Other players do not see a Hunter’s quiver on their back.
  • Shield Slam and other off-hand abilities does not proc extra attacks from Windfury.
  • Logging into World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth while playing WoW Classic on the same game account will disconnect you from WoW Classic. This is true in reverse as well.

Hunter concerns:

  • Hunter “dead zone” is working as expected and is consistent with the Reference Client.
  • A wolf pet’s Howl buff is consumed by anything that causes damage, even if it does not benefit from the buff.
  • A Hunter pet’s Bite and Claw ability damage will not change in the tooltip based on the happiness of the pet. The tooltip will always display the damage as if the pet were Content (yellow). This is consistent with the Reference client.
  • Traps can sometimes not be triggered if a player moves over them very quickly (i.e. a Warrior’s Charge ability). This behavior is consistent with the Reference client.
  • Auto Shot does not make a sound when cast during the animation of Hunter’s Mark and certain other abilities.
  • Scatter Shot, Wyvern Sting, and Freezing Trap share diminishing returns.
  • A Hunter’s Frost Trap ground effect will break players out of stealth.
  • The rate at which pet focus regenerates is not always consistent.
    • Note: While the actual amount of focus that can be generated per tick is inconsistent, the total amount generated over time is flat and consistent. There are slight variations in the time between ticks that cause this to display inconsistently.
  • Pet aggro radius is working properly and as expected. This is to say, it was extremely inconsistent in original WoW, and it remains inconsistent in WoW Classic.
  • Pets “remember” targets that they have been instructed to attack previously and when sending a pet to attack a different target, the pet will return to attack any remaining targets they were previously instructed to attack when the currently engaged target dies.
  • Pets that have been instructed to attack dead targets with a special ability or attack will attempt to approach and attack the dead target, but will return to the hunter’s side when the ability fails.
  • Other players do not see a Hunter’s quiver on their back.
  • Hunters can sometimes experience a slight delay before recasting Auto Shot after moving.
    • Note: There is a hidden “retry” timer that occurs if the hunter is moving when the normal swing timer finishes. This timer checks for hunter movement before trying to resume auto shot, and this timer refreshes every 500ms when the hunter is moving. This means that if a Hunter is moving and stops moving just after this timer refreshes, you need to wait until the retry timer checks again to validate that you are no longer moving and can resume casting auto shot. This is not a result of spell batching or server heartbeats, and is specific to the functionality of a Hunter’s Auto Shot. This is consistent with Auto Shot functionality on the Reference client.

We appreciate all of your feedback!

The list is sure to grow once the game is released, so we're looking forward to seeing what other problems aren't really real problems but intended problems!

      Here's a very strange and interesting bug (that was resolved pretty quickly), as EU Classic Era players were receiving the "realms will be unavailable in this region from January 23rd, 2023" message today, that was meant for the closure of Chinese realms earlier this year.
      This issue did not affect all players on EU servers, but there were plenty of reports, and Blizzard did hotfix the problem fairly quickly (around 1-2 hours) after the first report.

      Hi there u/Prodooc. Just stopping by to let everyone know that the WoW team is currently aware of this issue and working on getting it resolved! No ETA at this moment, but they are on it.
      EDIT: Ok they have already fixed it! If you are still having any issues please restart your Battle.net app and check for WoW updates before opening the game.

      Blizzard are reminding players that this is the last week severs will be actually playable, with only the character selection screen being available starting with the next reset.
      SoM (Source)
      With weekly maintenance today, February 14, 2023, we are beginning the closure of Season of Mastery realms.
      With weekly maintenance next week (Tuesday, February 21 in this region), all Season of Mastery realms will become available for your character list only. Characters will no longer be able to enter the game world itself at all.
      After that time, you will still be able to access the character selection screen on your Season of Mastery realm and initiate free transfers to Classic Era or Wrath of the Lich King Classic via the Free Character Transfer option in the Shop Menu.
      If you have not yet done so, you must log in and clear your mailbox and end any auctions you may have before February 21. You must also disband your guild if you are a guild leader. Free Character Transfers cannot be performed on characters that have active auctions, mail, or are guild leaders.
      Season of Mastery realms will be available in this state for at least 3 months to allow anyone who wishes to transfer their characters the opportunity to do so before the characters become unavailable permanently.
      We strongly encourage you to take advantage of Free Character Transfers within the next seven days, while you still have the ability to enter the game world.
      Thank you very much for participating in Season of Mastery!

      Blizzard have now set a date for the end of Season of Mastery, and "on or after" February 14th, 2023 players will no longer be able to log in to the servers, but their characters will be available for transfer "for some time thereafter". As noted in earlier blue posts, players will be able to transfer either to Classic Era or Wrath Classic realms.
      SoM (Source)
      As the Season of Mastery WoW Classic experience approaches its end, we will disable the “Enter World” button for all Season of Mastery realms on or after February 14, 2023. After that time, you will be unable to enter the game from the character selection screen.
      We intend to keep your Season of Mastery character list available for some time thereafter, so that you can initiate free transfers from Season of Mastery realms to Classic Era or Wrath Classic realms. We do not yet know how long that access will continue to be available, but we will let you know once we do.
      We suggest that all Season of Mastery players initiate free transfers for your characters as soon as possible.
      Thank you very much!

      After some trouble, Blizzard have now enabled free transfers from Season of Mastery for EU servers as well, with the US transfers having started a few days ago. Remember that if you do not transfer your characters by the time Season of Mastery realms close (the date hasn't been announced yet) you will permanently lose them. 
      Transfers (Source)
      Season of Mastery players can now transfer their characters for free to a Classic Era realm or to a Wrath Classic realm of the same ruleset (Normal or PvP).
      Please be advised that this transfer is one way only and final. Your decision cannot be changed or reversed.
    • By Staff
      Blizzard have announced transfers from Vanilla Classic's Season of Mastery to Wrath Classic (or Classic Era), starting today! A key difference this time around is that characters that are not transferred from Season of Mastery when it ends will be deleted. 
      Transfers (Source)
      Starting today, October 18, Season of Mastery players are now offered free transfers for their characters to either a Classic Era realm or a Wrath Classic realm. In this region, the available choices are:
      From Season of Mastery Realm To Wrath Classic Realm OR to Classic Era Realm Realm Type Jom Gabbar Eranikus Whitemane PvP Nightfall Eranikus Whitemane PvP Mutanus Eranikus Whitemane PvP Barman Shanker Eranikus Whitemane PvP Swamp of Sorrows Yojamba Whitemane PvP Lionheart Remulos Mankrik Normal Shadowstrike Atiesh Mankrik Normal Obsidian Edge Atiesh Mankrik Normal Please exercise utmost caution when selecting your transfer destination. You are selecting either Classic Era or Wrath Classic.
      Your chosen transfer is one-way, irreversible, and final.
      At this time, we have a bug preventing some transfers to a PvP realm where you already have a character of the opposite faction. We intend to fix this as soon as possible.
      Reminder: It is not possible for Blizzard Customer Support to modify your selection once you have initiated the transfer.
      Season of Mastery realms will be permanently closed on a later date, which is to-be-announced later. Please note that when Season of Mastery realms close, all player-characters that have not been transferred will become inaccessible forever.
      Thank you!
