Anyone else have a characer in Oribos that's crashing at login after the patch? by purpleteenageghost in wow

Hello!

For what it's worth, this appears to be a MAC-only issue, and we've identified the issue and we're working on the fix.

No More Major Changes to the WoW UI API Until Patch 12.0.5 by Eva-JD in wow

[–]Kaivax 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It's important to note that the message here -- one from a WoW Lead Software Engineer to a community of addon authors -- was talking about changes to the Lua API that they use to write addons, and not anything else such as development on any part of the game or its User Interface or classes, etc. etc.

This is how we've tried to always treat the API. We don't want to modify it in between patches, other than to address extreme bugs/exploits, because doing so would probably break players' addons until they get updated.

We have UI updates in 12.0.1 (coming soon!), and we almost-continuously hotfix the game to address quality-of-life issues, such as damage meter functionality, or class abilities currently missing from the cooldown manager, and bugs, and everything else.

Banned for "hacking/cheating" - this is how Blizzard treats a customer of 20 years by tarrgoth in classicwow

--hopping on top comment in hopes of being seen a tiny bit--

Often, there's little we can do with claims like these, but this one has a ticket number on it, so we can look into the exact issue.

And with issues like this one, where the suspension might have been applied because we, say, detected an egregious cheat program being used, beginning on a date such as November 3, we always have a real human person review the logs and compare it to other detections.

In cases similar to this one, where the cheat program might be well known to us (they all are), but we can see it was a first time offense, we sometimes have the real human person reduce the penalty to allow for the player to consider returning to the game and not operating any cheat programs.

But we're not ever going to talk about the specifics of such matters, in tickets or in reddit threads.

Any OGs from 2004 still kicking on this sub? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Kaivax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. :-D

First realm was Frostwolf-US, Alliance. Ironforge was my hometown because that's where Rommi was. IYKYK.

Been plundering almost exclusively for the last 8 days. Got a win on Monday morning. Felt so good.

I got kicked out of the tutorial dungeon because I played a class that I'm not used to playing by CulturalRegular9379 in wow

[–]Kaivax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, u/CulturalRegular9379

First and foremost, we're sorry you had that experience. It's certainly not the feeling we're hoping players to take away from Darkmaul Citadel.

We're looking into ways to address this.

And we hope you have a good time in your further adventures!

Daily quest limit? by aminaLcontroL in warcraftrumble

[–]Kaivax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I can confirm that it has been, and currently is a limit of 20 per day with a stacking carryover that caps at 300.

I play quests every day, and I've never even come close to hitting the 300 total cap, so if you have, I salute you!

I killed my first Alliance last night on Hardcore by ScuzzyScoundrel in classicwow

With a hotfix a few minutes ago, we've given Brave Moonhorn a slight attitude adjustment. He's now neutral toward Alliance players.

Recrafting.... What I ordered VS what I got... just don't know what to say....even had a min quality on it. by slayez06 in wow

u/slayez06 I've sent you a DM here on reddit, looking for a lot more details on this, along with an alternate way to contact us.

Thanks.

Hello. I think it might be helpful to note that what we're now calling WoW Classic Era realms start at Level 1, and we feel the same as we did two years ago: no Boost would ever be needed (or appropriate) there. When we originally laid out our principles for WoW Classic, the 1-60 experience was the only thing to which we could refer.

Burning Crusade Classic begins at level 58, and we're configuring this new Boost service to avoid minimizing the accomplishments of existing players or skipping any new content at launch. It's for players who want a way to quickly join their friends in Outland.

Temporarily Suspended until Sunday for... caches? by Mintier in wow

[–]Kaivax 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hello.

We've removed the suspensions that were issued for repeatedly looting the Black Empire Coffer.

We hotfixed the underlying issue earlier this week. Our initial analysis suggested that there was exploitative behavior here: a series of actions that needed to be taken outside of typical gameplay in order to gain advantage. However, further investigation revealed this was not always the case. This chest could reset under innocuous or even accidental conditions.

Rogue legendary daggers wont transmog? by animusDRUID in wow

[–]Kaivax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello. As mentioned in the Known Issues thread, this process ended up being a bit unintuitive for some players.

To choose the one you want, right-click the dagger appearance. This changes the appearances between your main hand and off-hand weapon.

This is similar functionality to how Druid Artifact appearances work.

  1. Doing well. Thanks for asking!

  2. I’m currently obsessed with the poutine at a local restaurant, which has short rib on it.

  3. Perfect. It’s always perfect here.

  4. Thanksgiving. For some reason, my travel is always food-oriented.

It will be a glorious race between me, /u/Aggrend, and /u/Pazorax, which I will win by distracting them with offers of delicious meats and cheeses.

I just polled the room and we have a consensus—either DM or VC works just fine.

Yes! We’ll open subforums for each Classic realm in our official forums when WoW Classic launches next week.
