The final hotfixes of the first week of Midnight’s full launch are here.
We start with the removal of the Haranir Travel form. It was causing a visual bug while carrying players, and will temporarily be replaced by the stag model. The class fixes are a little smaller this time, with only 4 classes affected. A bug causing race switching to Haranir to reduce player reputations was also removed.
One of the bigger changes in the hotfixes is a big buff to follower damage in Follower Dungeons. In addition to a 10% bonus against bosses, they will also receive 25-30% against everything else! The dungeons themselves also received tuning, with mostly nerfs. Only two quests got fixes today, and there were additional ones for items, PvP, and even an adjustment to the legendary Sunwell sound!
Characters
- Temporarily set the Haranir Druid mount form to use the stag model.
- Developers’ notes: This change was made due to a visual bug that caused players being carried by the Druid sable mount to sit at the base of the model rather than on its back. We’re working on a fix to restore the sable as an option that can be used by the mount form. For this fix to be applied, the scale of the sable will increase slightly to avoid clipping issues and to accommodate some of the larger player-races.
- Warlocks should now be able to use Black Incubus after completing the quest “Ambition’s Reward”.
