New Report Player Options in Patch 9.2.5

Recommended Posts

Blizzard has revamped the Report User Interface in Patch 9.2.5, giving you more options to choose from when reporting others.

You must click on a player's portrait and select the Report Player option to bring up the new UI. You have 3 reasons to choose from in the open world. You can report players for Cheating, Gameplay Sabotage, and Inappropriate Name.

Every reason has subcategories that help specify your report. You can select multiple ones if you so desire.

Inappropriate Name

  • Character Name
  • Battle Tag
  • Group name
  • Guild Name

Gameplay Sabotage

  • Blocking Team Progress

I have a strong feeling that big headed m+ players will take advantage of "blocking progress" when a small mistake is made in a pug group. Of course, right after they leave in the middle of a key too, gotta show the other players that their time is more valuable than anyone else's

what does this mean?

  • Intentionally Feeding

 

It's when you repeatedly/intentionally die to give kills to the enemy or "feed them with kills" hence intentional feeding.

They are already blocked because of the war

Ohhhhh, when did that happen?

Well, good thing Blizzard learned their lesson with female abuse, and stands firmly on their policy of no-discrimination!

I think that it’s just a biproduct of Russians being unable to effectively pay for the gametime now because of swift or something like that. But correct me if I am wrong.

blizzard said 07.03 that russians cant create a new abo nor buy more game time or purchase anything in their games while the war lasts

if they have an active abo that lasts for example 6 month they still have that game time but cant get more. still that announcment could also have been caused by the swift ban

Russians are barely affected by this as most already use VPNs or are savvy enough to set it up if they want, those who left are mostly people who dislike blizzard for this move.

Would this even change anything if their accounts are already in Russian region and they are playing on Russian servers? Since they were already identified as belonging to certain region, VPN can't mask that or is it that simple?

Anyway, hopefully this report system is effective and not easy to abuse. If it's all automated, then some people may potentially abuse it simply because they didn't like certain player, for example.

Come now, players of Russia and the surrounding countries play both on RU servers as well as EU ones. Theoretically, if they wanted to, they could've blocked every single account registered in Russia. But, for some reason, they might be thinking players will be back.

Blizzard do not have any law-related obligation to do anything, naturally, they are only forbidden to do business with those two republics unrecognized by the world by US laws, hence why those accounts are getting banned.

Add to it giving out 2 free months worth of game time to all accounts registered in neighbouring countries, as apparently their sign of "supporting Ukraine and pressuring Putin" (lol), commenting on how they are looking for the ways to make payments possible - again, for those countries exclusively, not for Russian players as well.

I don't think could be a better way to demonstrate their attempts of improving and "fighting against discrimination" after that lawsuit than what you're looking at - discriminating players who do not even take part in this sh*tshow by definition, for no sensible reason, but the hypewave.

      Dragonflight Season 4 is upon us and here's a handy visual gearing guide by Reddit user gandalin1306 to help you get started!
      If you're curious about the upgrade tracks for season 4 and the crests required for upgrades, look no further. Here’s a detailed visual guide created by Reddit user gandalin1306.
      Update: gandalin1306 updated the gearing guide, adding Whelpling Crest drops to Heroic dungeons. The image below has been updated.

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.

      Blizzard have announced that Season 4 will see an increased number of maximum Crests acquired each week, and also have the increased cap system for players that don't reach the maximum each week.
