@holinka Umm, I think the caster one-handed axe is missing from the pvp vendor(conquest and elite).
18 hr 23 min ago by @Deontto
@Deontto This item was temporarily removed, since its cost and PvP item level were incorrect.

Was it intended to make main piece Vers gear unbuyable from the vendors this season? @holinka @CM_Lore @WarcraftDevs
22 hr 9 min ago by @Revololwarrior
@Revololwarrior Unintentional. This is being addressed via hotfix.

We are aware the Season 3 PvP trinkets have lower stats than they should, and will be issuing a hotfix to increase their stats.

@WarcraftDevs will the feral druid legendary overwrite the saberon appearance from the talent or will saberon appearance be customized too?
2 days ago by @Firnwind
@Firnwind We've opted to remove the Saberon form, for now. Artifacts provide a huge amount of customizability for forms.

We’ve always had this kind of weird limitation where if you’ve never played WoW we let you play as much as you want, albeit in a very restricted Starter Edition account. However, if you have ever had a subscription--but don’t currently have one--we don’t even let you log in. In 6.1 we’ll effectively revert lapsed accounts into a Starter Edition “mode”, with all of the same restrictions. The one difference being that your sub-level 20 characters will be able to join a guild if any of your other characters are still in that guild.

The label for this mode internally is “Veteran”, and those are the strings that were datamined, but it’s unlikely to be a term we use to any great degree externally. It will simply be the default state for accounts that don’t currently have an active subscription.

I seem to have bugged out my very first garrison campaign. As far as I can tell, I got to the "These look familiar" quest, then went off to do other stuff and forgot about it. At some later time, I abandoned the quest along with several other quests, not realizing what it was. And Jr. Surveyor Dorn does not appear to exist any more to allow me to pick it up again.

Is this why all my buildings are still lvl 1 ive done tones of quest out in the world an i havnt found one thing to upgrade my buildings yet lol Oh an i just got to 96 if that means anything quested Tones an not able to find upgrade items at allWhat about a lvl 100 with a lvl 3 garry, that has received NO QUESTS at all for the ~8 weeks of being 100?January 15th Hotfixes

Rygarius

Class

Paladin Protection Reduced the damage of Seal of Truth for Protection Paladins by 80%. Protection Paladins should primarily use Seal of Insight for defensive value.
Seraphim now grants 750 of each stat for Protection Paladins (down from 1000).

Garrisons, Followers, and Outposts

Garrison Campaign Garrison Campaign quests can now be found in the quest log under the "Garrison Campaign" category.

Bug Fixes

Classes Warlock Fixed an issue in in which glyphs could cause crowd controlled (cc'd) targets to have Damage Over Time spells (DoTs) removed which would cause stored Soul Swap DoT's to be removed from Warlocks.

Garrisons

Invasions Corrected a bug in which Horde players weren't receiving credit toward the "It's an Invasion!" and "Invasion Specialist" Achievements for completing the introductory invasion quest.

Buildings

Mine: Miners now continue working after midnight instead of taking an unscheduled coffee break.

6.1 PTR Status

Zorbrix

1/15/15 Update:

In-game Character Copy is coming online, so try it out if you'd like to bring over a character to the PTR. You can access this in-game via the Character Selection screen once you've logged onto your PTR account
Garrison information is currently not copied over along with your character due to how it's saved on live retail realms, so if you copy a character right now they won't have a garrison on the PTR. We're working on a way to resolve this, but I don't have an ETA right now.

========================================
1/12/15:
Hi folks,

Just wanted to share some early information regarding the 6.1 PTR.

Note: this information is subject to change as plans are implemented. I'll update this thread or make a new one as I receive more information.

PTR Accounts and realms are currently locked to Mists of Pandaria. Upgrading the PTR accounts to Warlords is a lengthy process so I don't have an exact ETA, but it's something we're actively working on.
In-game Character Copy is currently offline. The plan is still to use the in-game system as opposed to the old website version (which hasn't been functional since 5.4).
Characters were wiped after the 6.0.3 PTR realms were brought down last month, and cannot be retrieved at this time.

I really don't understand the obsession people have with high DPS while tanking...Comment by Vomitory I wish Blizzard saw all the complaints on here so it might help spark the thought of "hey, paying players don't like what we're doing to the class they enjoy playing". Morons, not sure how they run a successful business.

And for $%^&'s sake, STOP WEAKENING US!

This xpac has about 20billion turn offs:

Ignoring gliches and bugs that were reported since before launche

dungeons don't give a bag o' swag

prioritizing TwitSter over fixing stuff

jacked up nerfing for "because" reasons.

Comment by thorr69 I'm still waiting for the fix to the bug that fails to award credit for visiting a friend's garrison. Have visited several, participated in invasions, and achieve still has not pinged.Comment by menace97 soooo close to 10 years :( Comment by menace97 the veteran account idea is great, except that as many have pointed out... with the current description it really is a slap in the face. c'mon blizz, i'm sure you could give something else to these 'veterans' who have been with you for so many years. it's a nice idea, but something actually that would give incentive for veterans who have drifted away to want to come back!

i really hope blizz figures out a way to add some more excitement in WoD, someone described it as 'a beautiful world with a lot of potential, but right now it feels a bit like a hollow shell.' you've got the numbers, now keep 'em! :) balance the classes as you always do, but please i hope you don't pare things down do much they are not fun anymore (i've had this feeling lately with a couple classes).

i look forward to what's in store for the near future of WoD. Comment by Exhale2Acclaim Reduced the damage of Seal of Truth for Protection Paladins by 80%. Protection Paladins should primarily use Seal of Insight for defensive value.veryyyyy familiarComment by Interest Reduced the damage of Seal of Truth for Protection Paladins by 80%. Protection Paladins should primarily use Seal of Insight for defensive value.veryyyyy familiarComment by PragmaticSoul So how many people are remembering "Veteran Accounts"?

I have another 19 days on my subscription, then I'm unsubbed until 6.2 hits (I want those heirloom rings...). I will be able to play any lowbie that's up to level 20, and have 11 (soon to be 12) slots out of 16 filled with heirlooms.

Did this ever get implemented, or is it another "psych!" from Blizzard?
