Heroic Dungeons bug fixes
Azjol-Nerub - We ran into the issue with Anub'arak not wanting to stay burrowed internally, and have a fix that the next beta patch should pick up. There was also an issue with Hadronox not using his web pull ability that will be fixed next go around. It's in the LFG system now too, thanks for that bug.
Halls of Lightning - We've been tuning this dungeon from both internal and your feedback over the last week. Loken should be a bit more manageable with some specific strategy adjustments based on some changes we've made.
Health of players and pets boosted in Wrath of the Lich King
Developers improved base health of players at higher levels. We're also going to improve pet's health to match it.
Gundrak - Thanks for the Gundrak feedback. We've been tuning various elements of the fights, and the difficulty should be a bit more even. Slad'rah also drops loot from his Heroic table now, nice catch.
The Oculus - The Heroic Bosses in Lich King should not drop the same loot as their non-Heroic counterparts. If it does, it's a bug. Eregos not dropping Heroics has been fixed in the next beta build, and he won't evade. We've also been tuning various elements of the different fights to make them more understandable.
Utgarde Keep - Thanks for the feedback, and we found the issue with the Helm dropping in two places. The trash creatures on Heroic have a different table to pull from that their normal counterparts. A quick check looks like they seem to be order. If you have further information about what specifically dropped the item that would be helpful.
Utgarde Pinnacle - The encounter team has been playing through Heroics and that gauntlet was... rather vicious. Fun, but vicious. We've toned down the gauntlet in Heroic.
Halls of Stone - We've fixed the trash mob dropping 1 of 3 blue items every time. We've also tuned down the Brann event based on our own internal feedback and yours. Thanks!
Drak'tharon Keep- We're tracking down several of the instance geometry issues currently, thanks for those reports. We've also fixed some bugs with the first boss not being attacked by trolls. Thanks, all.
The Nexus - Thanks for the feedback, Keristrasza and the other bosses definitely got some tuning over the last few days based on internal and beta feedback. We also threw in a little something extra to the Ormorok encounter for Heroic.
CoT - Stratholme - Greed now has Stamina instead of Spirit. We noted a lot of the same difficulty feedback in our internal playtests as you all did, and the bosses all got a little bit of attention and tuning. There's also a new timed event for Heroic that I'm interesting in you all trying for the next beta patch.
Raids dungeons bug fixes
Naxxramas (10 Players) - Four Horsemen chest is fixed internally, next beta patch should have it back. The issue with the infinite respawning spiders in Faerlina's hall is something we're looking into right now. Next beta patch should have the issue with the Faerlina hall fixed. Kel'Thuzad's Mana Detonation was inadvertantly made WAY more extreme than intended, this is also fixed.
Obsidian Sanctum (10 Players) - Thanks for all this feedback, we're continuing to tune various elements of the encounter and fix the bugs that pop up. Glad to see you are all having fun with the instance.
Brew of the Month Club - Do you wish that Brewfest could last all year long? Join the Club literally!
Dark Iron Invasion - Dark Iron Dwarves are back! Having been silenced mid-event last year, they are angrier than ever. So instead of partaking in the fun, they'd rather crash the party
Quest changes
"Pink Elekks on Parade" - Removed.
"Catch the Wild Wolpertinger" - Removed.
Wolpertinger Pet has been added to the Brewfest token vendors and is available for 50 silver.
The quest "Did Someone Say "Souvenir?" has been replaced with "Say, There Wouldn't Happen to be a Souvenir This Year, Would There?".
Brewfest and mount availability
After more discussion on the matter, we have hotfixed Coren Direbrew to drop the Brewfest Kodo and the Brewfest Ram for both Alliance and Horde. You now have an equal chance to get both mounts regardless of your faction! The droprate they have makes them uncommon but not very rare. The mounts that Coren drops are permanent.
Brewfest 2008 changes
Brewfest Mounts - These festive mounts are no longer purchased with tickets. Instead, they are random drops off of Coren Direbrew.
New Locations - New locations have been added for Brewfest this year; now even more brew is accessible!
