It’s time! The War Within is done and NA players have entered the Midnight pre-patch! 12.0.0 has arrived as Blizzard share the good news, as well as explain today’s delay.
It seems a last-minute transmog issue caused the extra maintenance, as it could delete saved outfits and waste players’ gold. It has been fixed, but two issues haven’t Chartered Neighborhoods are temporarily disabled, and certain commodities aren’t currently tradable on the Auction House. Here are the full details.
Hello!
It’s been a long day of testing and fixing and we’re finally going live with the 12.0.0 Midnight Pre-Patch.
During our final internal testing, we discovered an issue that could frequently cause saved transmog loadouts to be cleared, resulting in the loss of saved outfits and the gold spent on them. This issue resulted from a quirk of our live database configuration and never appeared in Beta, PTR, or other test environments, but it was an example of an issue that we have to keep realms offline for, and investigate and fix, before we could open the realms to the public.
We have a couple of other issues that we’re going live with, and working to fix as soon as possible:
- Charter Neighborhoods weren’t able to start Endeavors properly, so Charter Neighborhoods will remain disabled until we can resolve this. Endeavors should work as expected for other kinds of neighborhoods.
- Due to an unforseen issue with the item-level squish, some commodities in the Auction House (e.g. some profession materials) aren’t purchasable. We’ve got the issue identified and a fix on the way in the next day or so.
We thank you for your patience, and are excited to welcome you into the Midnight pre-expansion update!
