Mists of Pandaria Classic Dev Notes and Known Issues: June 6th

Staff's Avatar by Staff

Another weekend arrives to the MoP beta with a new round of raid testing. Blizzard shared their next two testing weekends and timing, as well as the known issues list.


Our next two raid testing weekends will be:

  • Friday, June 13 – Monday, June 16
  • Friday, June 27 – Monday, June 30

As before, raid weekends will begin at 1:00 p.m. PDT on Friday and end at 10:00 a.m. PDT on Monday.

And here’s the known issues list:


We’re tracking the following known issues and working to address them:

General

  • You cannot use mouselook and ground targeted spells at the same time.
  • Achievements don’t update visually in the tracker.
  • You may encounter lua errors on the character select screen.
  • You stop turning if you have the move and turn keys both pressed and release the Move key.
  • Players are unable to discover new Alchemy recipes.
  • Using a /petautocaston or /petautocastoff macro with a temporary pet (ex. a Shaman elemental pet) causes a crash.

Classes

  • Ranged attacks can be blocked, but they cannot be dodged.
  • Spell costs that involve a % of Maximum Health do not display that cost on the tooltip (i.e. Life Tap, Soulshatter).
  • Specialization respec is currently free.
  • Dust of Disappearance is not allowing players to change talents.
  • Shadowy effects from spells look different than the original MoP.
  • The expertise tooltip rounds the Dodge and Parry chances to the lower half-percent.
  • Druid
    • Mastery: Total Eclipse does not dynamically update.
    • Treants summoned by Force of Nature do not inherit spell hit
  • Hunter
    • Aspect of the Iron Hawk shows as active on the hotbar even when deactivated.
    • Stampede is summoning the pets on top of the Hunter instead of on top of the target
  • Mage
    • Rune of Power remains after swapping level 90 talents
  • Monk
    • Monks are using weapons instead of their fists during combat (cosmetic).
  • Shaman
    • Healing Tide Totem now benefits from the master’s Resilience and no longer heals itself.
  • Rogue
    • Blade Flurry targets dead players and NPCs
    • Casting Vanish during the activation time of Subterfuge causes Stealth to fade
  • Warlock
    • “Grimoire of Supremacy” does not remove the base Summon Demon variants.
    • Applying the Glyph of Shadow Bolt turns the spell on your hotbar into a passive spell, and moves the actual Shadow Bolt spell into the General tab of the spellbook.
    • (fixed next build)
    • Havoc will now correctly work with mouseover macros if you are targeting your Havoc target and casting on another target.

Pet Battles

  • Pets from the Classic Digital Deluxe Editions (WotLK, Cata & MoP) are not showing in Journal.

Quests

  • The Jade Forest
    • Lighting dramatically changes during the quest “Scouting Report: On the Right Track”.

User Interface

  • The world map does not include flight masters
  • LUA error is produced when clicking on “Change Name/Icon” on an existing set in the equipment manager
  • The flight map UI has scaling issues.
  • Resilience is granting more damage reduction per point than original Mists of Pandaria.
  • Scenario Accept Screen missing background art.
  • Multiple icons are squished on the player’s minimap.
  • The filters on the minimap may not track properly if you turn them on and off several times.
  • Quest text is not instant. To enable Instant Quest Text, you’ll need to go to Options → Interface → Display.
  • Enemy nameplates are not updating health value as enemies take damage.
