Many Delve, Labyrinth, Dungeon, and Raid Improvements: Midnight 12.1.5 Hotfixes, October 16th

Starym's Avatar by Starym

We have a soid hotfix batch today, with plenty of changes. The focus is entirely on instances, with dungeons, the raid, Delves, and the labyrinth getting adjustments. We’re starting with Murder Row, which gets some visual indication for the barrel safe zone. The Coiled Altar gets an achievement fix in the Venomous Abyss. The rest of the changes are all in Delves and Labyrinths, and there’s a whole lot of them. The bug that caused players to fall through the Labyrinth was fixed, and several issues making Valeera more vulnerable were also addressed. Players can also grab the Loa-Blessed Labyrinth mount and pet by speaking to an NPC if they forgot to loot them from the chest. There’s plenty more in there as well, so let’s take a look.


Dungeons and Raids

  • Murder Row
    • Added a visual indicating the safe zone of a barrel during Murder in a Row.
      • Developers’ notes: Recently, we addressed an issue where Zaen Bladesorrow’s Murder in a Row could incorrectly assign a player’s safe spot to a barrel they weren’t hiding behind. With the fix, players must stand closer to a barrel to be protected. To better communicate this change, each barrel will now have a visual indicator showing the radius of the safe area players need to hide behind a barrel during Murder in a Row.
  • The Venomous Abyss
    • The Coiled Altar
      • Fixed an issue where the achievement Watch Out Behind You was unable to be completed by raid groups larger than 20 players.

Labyrinth and Delves

  • Fixed an issue with the “Returning the Bounty” scenario in Jan’alai’s Refuge that would occasionally prevent the Pit Boss from spawning in the labyrinth.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Valeera’s Stagger to not function when there was a healer present in the delve or labyrinth.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Scar of Kathra’natir damage over time effect to deal more damage to Valeera than intended.
  • Fixed a rare issue that could cause players to fall through the map in The Speaker’s Chamber area of The Labyrinth of Kindo’jan.
  • The Loa-Blessed Wayfarer mount and Loa-Blessed Victory toy are now granted after completing the labyrinth by speaking with Kinduru if they were forgotten to be looted from the Ancestral Bounty chest before leaving.
  • Fixed an issue where some creatures and bosses scaled their health and damage values higher than intended when playing in a group.
  • Fixed an issue where Sha’kuro’s Soul Storm could be interrupted before all Unfortunate Souls were defeated, negating the damage window gained from the stun.
  • Fixed an issue where L00T RAID-R Mini could only be used once while inside The Labyrinth of Kindo’jan.
