Blizzard is using this pre-patch as an opportunity to really dig down and see what issues are plaguing players and trying to take care of them before the release of the full Cataclysm Classic expansion. This time around we have a small list of issues that are now marked as “Issues Addressed”, with several of these being about pet classes or hunters in particular.
There was also a strange bug where people’s spellbooks would be missing spells, or they’d be in the wrong place, or you’d even see spells from expansions that there shouldn’t be! Oh my. Well, that should also be addressed.
That said, the bugfixing process can be brutal and there were also some issues added that they’re aware of but haven’t been quite able to nail down yet. For a full list of what’s been labeled “Addressed” and any new issues that have been taken note of, check out the original post below!
Issues addressed:
- Some pet classes will have their pet action bar missing after relogging.
- New pets that hunters tame that are lower level than the hunter will not properly level up to match the hunter’s level automatically.
- Some pet classes may have their pet action bar missing after logging out in a non-rested area.
- Feral druid weapon normalization is not functioning properly, resulting in druids doing more damage than intended.
- Some spells are missing from players’ spellbooks, or located on the wrong page, or are appearing when they do not exist in Cataclysm.
- There is not currently a way to leave a random dungeon finder group via the UI
- Guild chat is not displayed as expected.
- Guild reputation is not granted when killing Heroic Dungeons bosses as part of a Guild Group.
- The Race Change service is currently unavailable to Cataclysm characters.
- The Wintergrasp quests “Victory in Wintergrasp” and “No Mercy for the Merciless” are not rewarding the amount of honor listed in the quest description.
