The world of Azeroth is buzzing once again with the latest updates from Blizzard. With the release of Patch 11.1 War Within, players are feeling the impact of some much-needed adjustments, particularly concerning surge pricing and a pesky work order issue that had many scratching their heads. Let’s break down what these hotfixes mean for your gaming experience!
Hotfixes are often the unsung heroes of game development, addressing bugs and balancing issues that can disrupt gameplay. In this case, the February 26th update has tackled two significant problems that players were facing:
Patch Notes
Achievements
-
Reading the Misplaced Work Order will now reliably give credit for Read Between the Lines.
Delves
-
Fixed an issue that could prevent players who had never entered Delves before from being able to configure Brann’s role and abilities.
Items and Rewards
-
Fixed a bug preventing delves and world activities from providing credit towards the Great Vault. As a reminder, next week, the Great Vault will provide Season 1 rewards.
-
The Surge Pricing world event now awards Extravagant Tip Chest for 150 Shipping and Handling Tasks (was 250).
-
Fixed an issue where the Adventurer’s Warbound items sold by Finley for Undercoin would generate gear at the wrong item level.
Quests
-
Players who selected a Cartel during “Contract Work” but were not given work to do can now reselect their Cartel for their Warband.
-
Grimla should no longer unintentionally disappear while players are on “The Grimla Express”, “Split Venture”, or “Welcome to Undermine”.
Undermine
-
The Suspicious Book and Fireworks Hat should no longer disappear prematurely, and players should be able to loot them as expected. Players who were previously affected by this bug will find the loot in their mail after about an hour.
-
Lowered the number of tasks required to be completed to earn the highest Surge Pricing reward to 150, down from 250.
-
Newspaper Bundles for the Paper Delivery job should no longer remain on the player if the job is canceled. This should also resolve the issue for players that have already completed or canceled the quest and had the bundles on their back.
This patch arrives just in time as players engage more deeply with the new content introduced in Patch 11.1. It’s always a relief when developers listen to community feedback and act quickly to rectify issues like these. It’s almost like they’re reading our minds! Well, maybe not literally, unless you’ve got a crystal ball hidden somewhere.
